Crius’ custom hero

The base game and all classes of Shieldguard, Musketeer, and Dervish have been rebalanced to provide a less punishing gameplay experience in Darkest Dungeon. Also supports some community-made careers.

Custom Heroes for Crius

✨ **Welcome to a more balanced and friendly world of Darkest Dungeon! ** This mod aims to provide a complete rebalancing of the playable classes in the game and all its expansions (as of May 8, 2020 - "Color Of Madness" version 24839), allowing you to play at a more relaxed pace and reduce the harsh penalties from Random Numbers (RNG).

🛠️Mod origin

This mod is based on the work of the **Powerful Heroes** mod, which is no longer maintained. I've updated all class files to include the game's latest mechanics (like critical hit triggers and heal over time) to ensure you're not playing a nerfed version of an overpowered hero! 😉

⚔️Main changes

The following are the core adjustments of this rebalancing:

• **💥 Enhanced Damage over Time (DoT)**: Most DoT effects now deal significant damage on a single hit or duration. Classes that rely on DoT are more fun and satisfying to play.
• **🎯 Skill range expansion**: A large number of skills that originally attack a single target can now attack an adjacent target at the same time (hit rate and damage have been adjusted accordingly).
• **❤️Significantly increased health**: The base health of all professions has been significantly increased, so that the infamous "two critical hits in a row" will not directly kill your character instantly.
• **🩹 More viable healers**: Now you have more healing options and are no longer tied to a single class.
• **Nun**: The most comprehensive healer, with good single-target healing and group healing capabilities. Both treatments will have slight decompression and continuous healing effects.
• **Plague Doctor**: Retains the original smoke and steam skills, but now its main healing ability is powerful group continuous healing.
• **Occult Scholar**: Its single-target healing ability is greatly enhanced, retaining the bleeding mechanism, and of course those tentacle-based things.
• **Joker**: Two different songs can strengthen different attributes, and at the same time provide powerful group pressure relief or good group continuous treatment.

These changes are intended to provide more flexibility in your party composition, especially in the late game, as you are no longer forced to bring a Sister.

🤝 Community Career Support

As an added bonus, this mod also supports several popular community classes from the excellent author **Marvin Seo**: **Falcon, Lamia, and Slave**. The main method of support is to increase their basic health and damage to keep them on the same level as other professions.

📋 Installation and use

• **✅ REQUIREMENTS**: The only requirement is to have the correct version of Darkest Dungeon (version **24839**). Unless Red Hook Studios removes certain features, it's likely that it will still work fine in subsequent versions.
• **⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE**: If you use **Marvin Seo's module** at the same time, please make sure to **load this module first** before loading other modules.
