The Hexer: Black Reliquary Backport

Unleash the Hexer: A Darkest Dungeon Backport

Descend further into the oppressive darkness of Darkest Dungeon with this compelling backport of the Hexer class. Originally conceived for another project, this mod faithfully brings the Hexer’s unique and unsettling abilities to your Darkest Dungeon experience, with a few fresh twists to keep you on your toes.

Mastering the Corruption Vials

The Hexer’s core mechanic revolves around the acquisition and strategic use of “Corruption Vials.” These volatile resources fuel many of their most potent skills, offering a gamble that can turn the tide of battle. Understanding when to build up your vials and when to unleash their full power is key to surviving the horrors ahead.

A Hexer’s Arsenal

The Hexer boasts a diverse and debuff-focused skillset, designed to cripple and control the enemy ranks:

• Melt: A potent ranged attack that weakens enemy defenses and resists, with damage scaling based on Corruption Vials.
• Malicious: A self-buff that can be used multiple times per battle, offering a temporary boost to damage, debuff chance, and accuracy at the cost of minor stress.
• Malform: A powerful, multi-purpose skill capable of stunning, bleeding, and blighting enemies, requiring a significant vial investment.
• Excruciating Pain & Putrefied Flesh: These skills allow the Hexer to manipulate enemy stats, inflicting debuffs like increased damage taken or reduced critical hit chance, all while generating Corruption Vials.
• Eroded Mind: A disruptive skill that bypasses defenses, steals buffs, and punishes enemies with fewer resistances.
• Ichor Incantation: The Hexer’s ultimate ability, consuming all Corruption Vials to provide powerful party-wide cleansing and healing effects, scaling dramatically with the number of vials expended.

Sanctuary and Support

Beyond their offensive capabilities, the Hexer offers unique camp skills to aid your weary adventurers:

• Cannibalize Corpses: A grim but effective way to relieve personal stress at the cost of minor stress for the party.
• Serum 5150: A risky but potent self-heal that also provides a temporary boost to death’s door resistance.
• Enthroned: Enhances the party’s debuff skills for a limited duration.
• Sanguis Metallica: A quick way to cure disease and bolster resistance against future afflictions.

Trinkets of Temptation

The Hexer is further enhanced by a unique set of trinkets, each offering distinct bonuses and drawbacks. From manipulating food consumption to amplifying the effects of Corruption Vials, these items allow for deep customization of the Hexer’s playstyle.

Embrace the corruption and master the Hexer’s dark arts to conquer the challenges that await in Darkest Dungeon.
