The Highwayman is one of the four starting heroes you'll use upon starting your journey in the Early Access of Darkest Dungeon 2, alongside the Man at Arms, Plague Doctor, and Grave Robber heroes. As you come to progress this character by learning more skills, the Highwayman hero can become a deadlier fighter since he can learn skills such as Grapeshot which is a buckshot ability that damages two enemies at once, or even apply more damage if an enemy target has < 30% HP with Double Tap, as well as disabling enemy buffs, turning the tides of battle in your favor. This is also a good skill to have in his arsenal which you can also exploit since it doesn't have a cooldown.Īlthough he is as flexible as he can be in the battlefield, the Highwayman lacks skills that inflicts DoT or negative status effects, or any other support-type skills that can help him in difficult situations. One of his default skills, Duelist's Advance, allows him to move forward towards the ranks (if needed) which damages enemies in the front rank, as well as applying the Riposte buff which allows him to counter-attack enemies that attack him, twice. He is also one of the best starting heroes to have if you are planning on creating a team that focuses on using offensive moves. The Highwayman's skills such as Wicked Slice ignores Death's Door RES, allowing him to execute a deathblow to completely kill off an enemy. Think of him as the assassin of the group who is capable of finishing off enemies who are at low health or is at Death's Door. If he is at the back ranks, he can still poke enemies with his Pistol Shot while his Wicked Slice melee skill allows him to attack at the ground. The selling point of the Highwayman is that he can be placed at any team ranking position. Be it a grapeshot area-of-effect, or single target bleed, the Highwayman's skills focus solely on dealing damage in a variety of ways. Whether at range or in a melee, he is equally effective at dispatching his foes. The Highwayman is described to a rogue, a thief who has honed his skills with dirk and flintlock to devastating effect. The Highwayman hero in Darkest Dungeon 2 is a versatile DPS class that can move around the ranks of the team and attack from any position.
