best way to get rid of stress?

[Muh macht die Kuh]

besides this bard-class which has a single target anti-stress spell i havent found a good way to get rid of it. ofc, critical hits help, but with my randomized groups im not getting crits THAT often.

any tipps?

Other than the Bard I don't think their is a way to get of stress.

Camping helps tho too.

The houndmaster also has a stress lowering ability, though it is considerably weaker.

If you want other ways for reducing stress, you can try risking it with some curios. or make sure you have the stuff for guaranteed stress reduction.

If you plan it carefully way more often than not you can leave a medium dungeon with less stress than you got in.

Additionally remember to use the Crusader Warcry,one of the most effective stress reducers+small heal+10 torchlight. You can also use the Jester tune,the Leper withstand,the Hound Cry,the Abomination Absolution.

killing your enemies as fast as possible is still the best remedy against stress really.
Crusader also has an ability that can help against stress. Leper has a self-stress-heal only ability. Disarming traps also relieves stress.
Camping too.

I would agree with Jubeithar—the best way to get rid of stress is to avoid getting it in the first place. Obviously that's not always possible, but by prioritizing enemies with high-stress abilities you'll be surprised at how much less stress you accumulate.

It's definitely a "best defense is a good offense" sort of situation.

There isn't much guaranteed stress reduction but using holy water on confessionals and shrines is a good way to go.
Don't think that works in Warrens though.

If you are smart with the way you use your Jester, you never have to worry about stress. My A Team has a Jester in it, and I never left a dungeon with more than 20 stress on any of my heroes. The only time where I was extremely worried about stress was during the Darkest Dungeon, but luckily one of my heroes hit a virtue instead of being afflicted :P

If you don't like using Jesters, then you can also take a Medium or a Long dungeon. If you plan your campfires wisely, and you take campfire abilities that have stress heal, then you can get rid of most, if not all, of your stress.

Of course, if you're running Abomination, then stress heal is much more difficult to do.

Disarming traps is a good way to reduce stress

The best way to destress is to use a trainer to cheat because this game is unplayable without one.

lol, no thanks.

If you prefer lower stress than killing enemy faster.
Then equip Stress resistance trinket.

At the very least, your camping can focus on buffing combat skills.

As skills go, Jester has the most powerful stress relieve ability in the game but there is at least two more. The Crusader has a skill that heals for a very small amount of health, plus lights your torch a little, plus heals some stress. It is not on par with the Jester but it certainly helps a lot. I use it every odd turn once the battle is in my favor and I have very good results with it. Then you have the Hound Master skill to relieve stress. This one is less powerful than the Jester's but it affects your whole group. Two HM in your group using that skill is pretty close to a Jester's but for the whole party. The only problem is that it is not reliable as it is RNG dependent (65% to heal for every character)

Then you have camping, which relieves some stress, plus camping skills. Sometimes is tempting not to use stress relieve skills during camping in favor of combat ones. Try to find a balance when you are forced to. Again, Jester is usually a very strong bet but most classes some in a way or another.
