Breacher is a negative quirk.

[Null Winter]

Forced movement to the front rank at the start of every combat with multiple stacks of Taunt? Yeah, that's a death sentence (or a massive detriment to team layout) on any character that is not designed to be in the first rank. I'm tired of it ruining my runs by "randomly" popping up only on uber-squishy backliners or support characters.

The best part is that you can't remove it at field hospitals, because the wholly temporary damage and damage reduction buffs make it a "positive" quirk.

ya, got it for my highwayman and thought hey, point blank shot build would be nice, then the region boss is the librarian

Taunt and the super-shield is really really good though. Having the first 2 attacks of the battle do almost 0 damage is huge.

I got to the 2nd confession boss the first time when my Plague Doctor got Breacher. And Plague Doctor is obviously a terrible fellow to get Breacher, especially when I had Highwayman (Rogue) and Hellion (bleed path) who needed the front rows.

got a breacher graverobber in EA. she has man at arms guard, but more importantly, upgraded absinthe, and dodge token/stealth for days. Was fun while it lasted

Might be bad luck on my side, but characters that absolutely do not want to be in Rank 1 seem to be especially prone to getting this "positive" quirk. So far I've gotten it exclusively on my Plague Doctor and Occultist - and several times at that.^^

Related question: Is there a way to get rid of "positive" quirks like that? I thought I might be able to re-roll it at the Field Hospital because of the Quirk Icon with the rotating arrows, but ended up locking it.

Afaik the only way to remove a positive quirk is by overwriting it, so... you can gamble at academic's studies.

Aspirant occultist is pretty fine in the front tho.

Sounds like a job for the General's Dream Trophy. Makes you so your characters can't move. I've been enjoying the side effects with a Highwayman that can spam duelist's advance without.. you know advancing.

I just use pointblank shot and enjoy it on my highway man.

Just closed a run with the mountain boss too (2o confession) with plague doctor with Breacher. I went for the General, took his shield and put it on the Man at arms. Everybody locked on position (Runaway,Plague,Man at Arms, Highway), re-organized the spells in order to maximize everything.

Is kinda the fun of the game you know? At least for me, It forces you to find the best out of the worst. Without it i guess I wouldn't be able to pass certain bosses ( I did the shambler too in this run just because i forced the previous build, spamming Point and Orphan Runaway 7 fire dot :') )

Just use another character?
There are plenty of perks that are useless on certain characters.
