What hero comps have you guys been using so far?
title, I've been running a mixed bag of damage and support, curious what everyone else has found luck with

It heavily depends on the boss you're going to fight. I think there's no universal combination to reliably beat all 5 of them.

But I really enjoy Jester - Plague Doctor - Highwayman - Hellion comp however, feels very versatile with their mix of melee/ranged and abundance of DoT and debuffs.

I've bounced off the first mountain boss a few times due to a few bad comps and struggling to keep relationships positive, but Occultist's pull and debuffs pair INCREDIBLY with the Leper. If you keep marking frontline enemies with the combo marker, it helps almost entirely negate his blind penalty.

I really liked Vestal, Occultist, Flagellant, Leper. Lacking immediate damage but lotsa cozy defense and healing skills.

I think the Vestal still dislikes the Leper and/or Flagellant though because I kept getting negative relationships.

this was probably my first compiled team after the starting one.

Alchemist pd, Sharpshot Hwm, Maniac Flag, Vanguard MAA, damage and sustain is immaculate with this comp. Though I switch heroes and paths depending on the act this comp is decent against all acts.

I've been running Jester (need to unlock skills), Plague doctor, Man at arms and Hellion a lot, Man at arms for riposte and hellion for damage, plague doctor has both healing skills, so mostly for support but also corpse clearing and backline DoT, Jester for stress heal until I can get more of his skills unlocked, but his stress heal is nice and giving my hellion and man at arms a damage buff also helps.

I haven't unlocked everyone yet, but Hellion is my fav from DD1 so I am glad she returned, man at arms is basically the best tank I can ask for so those two stay in every comp mostly, I also really like plague doctor's 2nd heal with the upgrade to also turn negative tokens into healing, I've had a 106 HP Man at arms go from death's door to full health with that heal alone.

Just finished Act 2 with Runaway, Jester, Flagellant, Leper. Smokescreen-Chop synergy is crazy. Flag is such a versatile character: can heal, can tank, the only thing it needs is stress removal which I get from Jester. Jester is there doing Jester things with combo marks, bleeds, and blinds. The only thing I don't have is rank 4 access, but I managed to brute force the boss down when it started to take deep breaths.

My most successful comp is from Rank1 to 4. Hellion, Man-at-Arms, Plague Doctor and the last spot is my social pity spot for anyone else. No other char can hold a candle to my self proclaimed holy trinity.

I've completed 4 chapter bosses and all region bosses with the same composition (alternating only a few skills): Runaway, Plague Doctor, Man at Arms, Highwayman.

Runaway because Cauterize is an S+ tier skill and Firefly is just really good against big health pool enemies. Enough damage to check death's door too, even through armor tokens. Fire resist is fairly rare, making her a very consistent backline character.

Plague doctor needs to explanation.

Man at Arms is a bit boring, but just the regular Vanguard setup. Bolster is just an incredible skill.

Highwayman because versatile damage. Highway Robbery is such an underrated skill too. Probably my favorite character in the game. Start at rank 1 to blast their frontline into smithereens as the game opener.

I just pick whoever has good quirks and/or not too harmful bad quirks, so far I found every combination of heroes viable (unlike in 1 :(), you just need some creativity to play around strengths and weaknesses.

runaway is a great support in 4th. she can firebomb enemies, pull them out of stealth, blind+combo them, and she can take care of herself so PD doesnt have to (can go into stealth + heal over time on self)

Hellion, Man At Arms, Plague Doctor, Jester. Been using this combo from 3-5. Sadly in Act 4 Jester died and was replaced by Grave Robber, but that did not stop the team to kill the boss first try.

Completed the entire game with the starting four. What can I say, I like using the canon party.

♥♥♥♥ that must have gotten pretty boring

Virtuoso jester, alchemist doctor, sharpshot hwm and vanguard maa is what I used to 100% from confession 1 to 5 with no deaths. Its very op setup and therefore a bit boring.
