Upuaut

Embrace the Threshold: Introducing the Upuaut Class Mod for Darkest Dungeon

Venture beyond the veil of life and death with the Upuaut, a new hero class mod for Darkest Dungeon. Emerging from the liminal spaces between the known and the unknown, the Upuaut draws power from the edges of existence, acting as both a guide and a bulwark for your struggling party. This mod introduces a unique front-line support character, meticulously crafted to enhance your adventuring company’s resilience and strategic depth.

A Master of Support and Debilitation

The Upuaut thrives not on raw damage, but on empowering allies and disrupting foes. Their skillset is designed to bolster the party’s longevity and effectiveness in diverse combat scenarios. While capable of healing, their true strength lies in a versatile array of buffs and debuffs that can turn the tide of any encounter. Their abilities are particularly effective when synergized with various party compositions, offering a fresh tactical layer to your expeditions.

Key Combat and Camping Skills

The Upuaut boasts a distinct set of abilities, each with a unique role:

• Funerary Rites: A unique healing ability that scales with the target’s afflictions, becoming more potent when allies are bleeding, blighted, or near death’s door.
• Vengeful Ghost: Deals moderate damage and possesses the unique ability to clear corpses from the battlefield while gaining bonus damage for each one removed.
• Libation: A powerful party-wide cleanse that removes debuffs, increases incoming healing, and reduces the impact of bleed and blight.
• Grave Call: Marks a target, breaks their guard, and prevents them from being guarded or healed by enemies.
• Scout’s Eye: Grants a single ally a significant damage boost and temporary stealth negation for one turn.
• Shadow Curse: Substantially reduces an enemy’s accuracy, making them less of a threat.
• Feast of the Tail: Shuffles and slows all enemies, negating their protection for a crucial period.
• Camping Skills: Such as “Opening of the Mouth” to remove mortality debuffs and extend resistance, or “At the Mouth of the Wadi” to prevent ambushes and improve scouting.

Unique Features and Lore

This comprehensive mod includes all-new art, animations, and sound effects for the Upuaut. Accompanying the class are eight unique trinkets, including a set specific to the Crimson Court. The Upuaut’s canonical name is Sed, and their canine-like appearance means they are refused passage by the Librarian. Be prepared to recruit this enigmatic hero through the stage coach, as no special town event introduces them.
