Interesting fact about Glint in the Dark+ : if GR is stealthed and brings any enemy with deathblow resist to 0 hp, they do not enter deaths door, and instead are killed!
I figured it would work like that, honestly it just makes her so good at making sure the enemy dies right away without the death bs cause some of these enemies you want dead right away.
“Executed with impunity!”
it is interesting but the knight in the tangle is the only reason to use this strat instead of just throwing a poison dart to finish the enemies off after the death's door check, so i find it a bit meh
@@MatiMuffin there are multiple enemies who can survive a few hits on deaths door especially if you play with stygian or hateful pyre (i think it was that one) that give enemies additional dbr
@@stevenostrowski6552 honestly the setup still makes it not worth imo, i wish gr had a passive where she has 25% chance to get stealth on turn start. i think that'd kinda cool.
Lunge + Dreaming General Trophy that locks you in place is funny as hell
Stealthed Lunge+ bypassing Dodge and Block is nuts. Deadeye might be 'optimal' but double dipping Pirouette and Lunge with Shadow Fade's X2 Stealth with Nightsworn is my favourite way to play her.
She also is just cool af. I loved uncovering her story, her move pool, her aesthetic. Might not be the best character, but I love to run graverobber.
“Theres only a couple enemies that guard”
*DRUMS MENACINGLY IN POS 4*
Really glad these are rolling out again. I knocked out my Grand Slam achievement, but I still feel like I'm figuring out how to best use some of the heroes. These are very helpful. Thanks!
I just love how thematic her whole design is. Like, even in her hero shrine memories, she was moving into the back rank and hiding to get away from her husband or using a self-stress heal to recover from his abuse (which later turns into self-medicating with strong alcohol while she does her first graverobbing run) . So you can really see how she was developing the skillset that later turns her into the grave robber!
And her role and strengths/weaknesses really tie into her character. She is independent because she could only rely on herself while dealing with her husband. Her training as a noble woman probably helped a lot with the agility and the dancing abitlies and her flexibility (since as a noble woman you had to learn moving elegantly, courtroom dancing, how to be subtle or noticeable on will).
And her weaknesses also make sense for her character. She's not fully a hardened fighter like man-at-arms, so she relies a lot on her skills and her finesse to get through the day, which means she has a lot of need for mastery. And while she is elusive and can hide in the shadows, if she gets caught she can die very easily.
Just love the whole character design and that they fleshed out her character even more, while staying true to how we know her from dd1.
Plus, theres a history of women needing to murder their husbanda to get out of horrible marriages, since divorce wasn't an option for many of them. (Just look up aqua tofana.) so the grave robber is probably a nod to that.
And I also love how she has all of those graceful moves like skillfully throwing darts, pirouettes, slinking into the shadows, etc... But then there are times when she just goes "fuck it" and just rams a pickaxe into someone's face 😂 iconic!
Very solid video really apreciate your tips for Audrey!
Man I really wish they reworked Dead of Night and her combo mechanics. She SHOULD be the character to get Crit tokens the most reliably. I'd argue Revenge+ Leper gets more crits than her. And DoN is literally useless in boss fights.
Plus I'd like for most/all cleaves to just get a chance of combo. The trinket that gives her combo when she's rank 4 just feels like it should be base to Flashing Daggers
With a full blight team in the foeter, I find that Alchemist PD has high enough blight chance that she can usually manage, or at least she can pretend to be a surgeon for a bit. Grave Robber has a lot of flat damage moves she can rely on, and Flag is a strong support/tank character even without focusing on blight damage. They're all pretty flexible characters. Though, one question I have is, is flag the only blight synergy in the game? If I just have a GR and a PD, I usually prefer Surgeon to cover more bases, and to have less squishies.
I’ve found that shadowfade then lunge+ with nightsworn is a really good combo, ESPECIALLY against cultists, you can get a free kill turn two most fights.
I used to open Shadowfade into Lunge but tbh I've come to find it better to Lunge -> Pirouette -> Lunge - Shadowfade
@@ItsPureLuck27 I found lunge opening kind risky, since it put her in rank 1 or 2, and most enemies would move after her, that puts her under a lot of front line fire that she can't really take about
@@windflier1684 Maybe with man at arms, either seargent or bulkwark. Or a guarding Vestal so she isn't directly targeted at least for 2 turn of damage
Once i made the shallow realisation that alot of her damage comes from crits, i started having way more fun with her 😅
Great video, mate! Thank you for the advice! :)
Been waiting for this one, she's the one hero I haven't experimented with much
Finally, this is the one I've been really waiting for, the best* character!
*(Citation: I like her)
Back in the day when you picked 4 graverobbers for Lunge Spam ❤
Here's my guide: Use poison dart. Get "his rings". Use more poison dart. The end.
Ain't no way Shuff, I was just thinking about utilizing the grave robber more, and before going to bed I see you posting this vid. Well bed can wait a little
I remember that one time I got the “more damage when stealthed” cultist trinket on nightsworn gr. it was fun to oneshot everything with lunge. Very much a glass cannon build though.
Venomdrop is fine in the Foetor, just bring lunge and fade/pirouette for blight res piercing (and her dealing flat damage with them, which doesn't care about blight resist, helps too)
Fade+ gives a speed token which helps with applying blight before the enemies take their turns, if you can spare the mastery
I find the shadowfade upgrade fairly useful with venomdrop, since she's so much slower with that path and you'll probably be using shadowfade anyway for the extra blight
A nice buff to her would be having a hero trait like leper and hellion where she aplies combo when she crits either from combo or crit token doesnt matter. This way she justifies the mediocre damage she deal son crit by making her into a combo generator. Jester does more damage with his combo generating skills than she does on crit.
Really fun team with her is jester+, ss hwm, maniac flag, and night sworn gr. Can absolutely nuke the front two lanes with pirouette and grapeshot vs trash mobs, or shadow fade into lunge to pierce block and dodge. Jester can really up the tempo by allowing faster grapeshot or shadow fade. She has great tools for every region, in the tangle you can take pick in case she goes first. Pirouette is goted in the feotor, as is dead of night. Usually I take dagger throw for backline reach that ignores dodge and guarded, but pick an glint are both situationally amazing. She really shines with sprawl trinkets, (snappy swig anyone, and the one that gives extra turn) or a stiff drink can be insanely good. An interesting interaction is the stealth won’t be used or converted on extra turns such as from encore or trinkets. So she can utilize the piercing on lunge then next turn get the crit token for pirouette or pick. This team is built to end most fights in 1-3 turns consistently, which mostly negates her weakness of being too squishy. Flag will do all the tanking and healing, maniac or wanderer work, but maniac is my preference for utility mostly. The other paths kinda nerf sepsis if you’re not running heavy blight, so I don’t recommend them.
Lunge build is also my fav so much fun.
Nightsworn + Silent Treatment is the most fun i had in dd2
Venomdrop on rank 4 with foreclosure notice is so OP
dot+combo+stealth from flashing daggers is very good imo
Breacher Grave Robber is an addiction and I don't want to let go
Silent Treatment Nightsworn sounds very VERY consistent
I wish there was a reason to run teams other than the best comps, and not having all the skills on a character further makes you not want to change teams
Comment for the algorithm. Also thanks for the content!!
It's not simping if she's a queen
Anyone knows what's the name of the dd2 font and where to find it?
The fact Grave Rober has an ability that can outpass death door while upgraded, but NOT Jester's Finale feels really wierd
(I guess it's fair since Jester is already an OP caracter)
I really appreciate GR's buff which came with 1.0 since she was the worst hero since the lunch of the Alpha.
And the ideas for her paths is really nice.
I like Graverobber, but I don't like the higher Crit chance on Combo. I would much rather take all of that away and set up Combo on those moves, including stuff like Pick to the Face. We do need more Combo generation after all and it seems appropriate.
Can someone tell me why poison darts is good? Upgraded its 4 blight to one unit whereas PD plague grenade does 4 blight to 2 units or 6 blight to a single target with noxious blast...i dont get it?
It's good for GR, not necessarily compared to other hero skills lol. Her ability to crit on combo is much better than the res piercing though.
A few more things:
Darts can target any rank, and can be used from any task except 1.
Darts also has a high crit chance, increased further if the target is comboed. That helps reduce stress and makes the blight last longer on a more regular basis.
@APKlosky but so can noxious or plague?? Like obviously not invidually but if you are running blight, you are running both skills. Just seems odd to me, bit of crit chance is really really not as good as Double 4 flight on the back 2 ranks
@seahawk1579 true, but using plague grenade locks you into the back two ranks. If you get shuffled, ambushed, or pulled out of position, you've pretty much lost that ability.
Effectively GR is trading raw efficacy for higher crit chance and better rank flexibility. It's not necessarily a great alternative, but there are benefits.
If we want to talk about stacking up against plague grenade, though, we should probably look more closely at Firefly, which uses the same ranks as PG, has a negligible combo effect and deals damage to only one target.
Really like that you mentioned the blight team at the end of the vidya! Making it work definitely feels hard, and trading big hits from lunge with DOTs can make some fights just get out of control. Would love to know how you feel about DOTs and Raw Damage tradeoff in this DAMAGE FOCUSED game!
Hey Shuffle, I'd find a 'gain on hit, gain on miss' trinket video super helpful. I almost never use them because I find the risk reward too high, but would love to know your thoughts.
Sounds simple enough!
If it ain't my favorite DD content creator
IMO as a NightSworn one should ALWAYS open with Shadow fade from rank two. NightSworn literally says in the description that stealth gives all her moves +25% base damage. Why would you open with lunge from rank 4 to do up to 13 damage (with the upgraded lunge) when you can start from rank 2, get stealth on the first round and have instakills for 23 or 29 crit damage from the second round, followed by Pirouette with more crits on two enemies since Shadow Fade gives you stealth for 2 rounds? For me there's no other way to play her. Probably the most consistent damage+crit dealer in the game, along with Highwayman.
Edit: What am I talking about? I meant +50% damage when she is in stealth and Lunge ignores dodge AND armor tokens when upgraded plus 30% crit chance WITHOUT a need for crit token. I mean what more do we want?
I was wondering. Do buff chance percentages stack or do they each have a chance to proc?
I assume it's independent, but I'm not 100% on that.
Bonnie can move around with GB, can give her combo, remove blind and doesnt fight for trinkets with her. But tbf they quite similar characters
She's another fantastic pick for sure. It came down to her and vestal in the script draft
POG
I wish they could reduce the minimum on throne Dagger and increase its maximum
Once I used nighrsworn gr with dreaming general trophy
Lunge every turn feels great
P.S. I also had rogue highwayman in that team. PBS every turn felt even better 😂
You ever think about going over what quirks are good on who?
I disagree that she need a lot of masteries: About 90% of the time I spam Poison Dart with her. So in invest in this skill - and everything else get mastery points, when nobody else need some. More mastery points for her are nice, sure, but because I mostly spam this one skill, the other mastery points are optional for me.
My question is why not have Bonnie or Alhazred in the good teammates spots, the vulnerability, dodge removal or positioning they bring with their combo skills feel so good
Bonnie was in the first draft, but ultimately went with vestal. Lots of good partners out there :)
Pls do Highwayman
How to play GR:
Play Jester
Or HWM lol
I love grave rubber but holy s*** I have tried to see if I can make a build work with what I have unlocked so far specifically utilizing nightshade and holy s*** I either suck at using it or it suck immensely
what I can gather from how to use that path is you open with Lunge and then you immediately go Shadow Fade then you attack with whatever you want and then you Lunge again and repeat the cycle
and I feel this can be pretty effective but if you have other characters who also like to move they will f****** this strategy fast if you don't place her very specifically
I don't know if I unlock more characters and really try and experiment more then I can make it work of course, everything in this game works if you do it right but I feel this is too much effort for that little 50% more damage it's not worth it over her paths
one of the reasons is I feel Shadow Fade is two situational I really wish you could use it at least in rank 3 or I wish other skills also gave you STEALTH
It's frustrating how most of her skills are so ridiculously situational. Many are just way too weak unless you're on a specific Path, some require teammates capable of functioning when you displace them, some are just plain situational. Worse, they tied a lot of her abilities (particularly Path ones) to Stealth, and getting into Stealth is generally not worth it, it's like stunning yourself.
The result of this is... most people just spam Poison Dart. Especially since her best trinket supports that strategy.
She could use a tiny little bit of love here and there, but my main problem with her is Shadow Fade, that skill clearly needs a significant buff.
Forgetting about the Silent Treatment? Unforgivable!
How to play? I thought she is just a team talisman.
If only shadow fade gave you a strength token or something since it’s basically worthless outside of her class trinket
It's mostly useful for nightsworn, but shadowfade really should give her a crit token, otherwise she's just worse at getting crits than Dismas...
@@Rondobondohondo the problem is that skills shouldn’t be limited to certain paths like how you can still use poison darts without venomdrop and shouldn’t have to be fixed with a path
@@Rondobondohondo Oddly enough Crit tokens have anti synergy with GR since her whole gimmick is that she has high crit base, so she's much better with strength and focusing on buffing her base damage and trying to fish for crits or use trinkets that buff her high crit even more than having a guarantee crit.
