The Exterminator: A New Hero for Darkest Dungeon

When the shadows of the Hamlet deepen and a new threat emerges, brave souls are needed to answer the call. Enter the Exterminator, a seasoned professional summoned to tackle a pestilence that crawls not just in the mundane world, but in the very fabric of the corrupted lands. Bound by duty and contract, this new hero brings a unique set of skills to your roster, specializing in the eradication of afflictions and the disruption of even the most tenacious foes.

Combat Prowess and Unique Support

The Exterminator operates as an offensive support character, excelling in controlling the battlefield and mitigating the pervasive threats of disease and damage-over-time effects. While their direct damage output may not be their strongest suit, their strategic abilities can turn the tide of any encounter. They possess the unique capability to bolster their entire team’s resistance to blight and other debilitating conditions, offering a crucial layer of defense against relentless enemies.

Key combat skills include:

• Apprehend: A low-damage pull that pierces guards and can disable targets, with guaranteed pulls against marked enemies.
• Collar and Contain: A powerful debuff that significantly reduces an enemy’s damage and speed, with a team-wide cooldown.
• Trap: A self-marking ability that, once triggered, unleashes a potent riposte with stun and bleed. It can also be manually activated to kick a bear trap at an enemy.
• Smoke Out: A potent area-of-effect blight skill that can also debuff enemy dodge chance.
• Exterminate Them: A skill that marks an enemy, reducing their resistance to and increasing their received damage-over-time.
• Sanitize: A single-use ability that provides a light area-of-effect stress heal and significantly buffs the team’s disease and damage-over-time resistance.
• Stomp Out: A low-damage skill with a chance to stun, with increased effectiveness against blighted enemies and beasts.

Strategic Camping and Town Events

Beyond the heat of battle, the Exterminator offers valuable support during the quiet moments of camping. Their camping skills allow for targeted buffs against specific enemy types, enhancements to combat chances, and vital resistance maxing. Furthermore, the Exterminator introduces new and thematic Town Events, adding further depth and variety to your Hamlet’s management.

The Exterminator is a meticulously crafted addition, featuring custom art, sounds, animations, and even unique trinkets that integrate seamlessly with existing mechanics. Their arrival promises a fresh strategic dimension for those daring enough to cleanse the corruption lurking within the Darkest Dungeon.
