Darkest Dungeon 2 Grave Robber Hero Guide

The Grave Robber is a versatile hero and excels at being a light-footed combatant, making her as one of the agile heroes of the game. This hero wields a Pickaxe as her melee weapon, as well as daggers and poison darts to poke enemies that are far from her, allowing her to be positioned in any team rank or team line-up. She strikes without warning and retreats to the shadows, continuing her assault at range. The Grave Robber wears a light coat since she favors mobility and dexterity over protection.

In order for the player to utilize her and bring out the best of her abilities, pairing her with other Heroes that are also versatile when it comes to any rank is recommended here, heroes or classes such as the Highwayman or Leper have skills that allow them to exploit their skills in any rank position, and having at least one main tank hero, like the Hellion to taunt enemies or Man at Arms to act as their main defense.

Usually, the Grave Robber is best positioned in the middle ranks so that she can use both her melee and ranged attacks, and when controlling this hero, her main tactic is to apply DoT effects such as Poison to punish enemies and to try and finish enemies that are weak or have low health. She is not a heavy hitter but she can inflict high damage with her High CRIT chance by finishing off enemies that are at death's door.

The Grave Robber is one of the four starting heroes you'll use upon starting your journey in the Early Access of Darkest Dungeon 2, alongside the Man at Arms, Highwayman, and Plague Doctor heroes. The Grave Robber by default also starts with five Skills such as Pick to the Face, Thrown Dagger, Flashing Daggers, Poison Dart, and Absinthe. In Darkest Dungeon 2, heroes do not equip weapons and armor now, but instead upgrades and such now depend on unlocking more skills, mastering a skill, consuming items in the Inn to apply temporary buffs, by equipping Trinkets, and unlocking more skills via a Shrine of Reflection when you are "on the road" traveling - by choosing to reflect on the Grave Robber's past, this hero can unlock and learn more Skills.

Darkest Dungeon 2 Grave Robber Skills Guide

Pick to the Face: A melee skill that has a decent amount of damage. The Grave Robber swings it pick axe against enemies that are up-front. If an enemy is buffed with a Block token where it only receives -50% DMG, it ignores this effect and still applies the normal damage output. Upon mastering the skill, the DMG value increases to 4-10, CRIT Chance to 15%, and empowers the skill by adding a +50% chance for CRIT if the targeted enemy unit has the Combo Token. An enemy that is inflicted with the Combo token triggers extra effects for the Skills of a hero that requires it.

Thrown Dagger: A ranged skill where the Grave Robber throws a single large dagger. This is effective if you are wanting to snipe enemies that are ranked at the back or by finishing off enemies that have low health or at Death's Door. Normally, this skill ignores enemies that have the Guarded token, and if you have the Stealth token, it also ignores enemies that have the Dodge token.

Flashing Daggers: Another ranged, sniping skill where the Grave Robber throws multiple small daggers that attacks two enemies at the same time that are in ranks 2-3, as long as the Grave Robber is positioned at the lower ranks, 2-4. This ranged skill is best used to finish off multiple enemies at the same time or to just help inflict damage against two enemies.

Poison Dart: A ranged skill that deals damage and Poison, This skill is your go-to skill and a must-have equipped at all times. Applying DoT effects against enemies is an important tactic in winning enemy encounters, that is unless the enemy you are fighting against has high resistance against poison. If the attack successfully lands, the skill deals damage and applies Posion. The Blight Token damages the enemy's HP per turn for 2 ticks.

Absinthe: This is a support skill where the Grave Robber drinks an anise-flavoured spirit that recovers HP and applies the Dodge token, where there is a 50% chance for her to dodge the next attack, as well as the Speed token that makes her act fast in the next round.

Dead of Night: A skill that clears out enemy corpses. This skill can be used at any position you are at, as well as targeting any corpse of the enemy. Upon clearing a corpse, it recovers 33% of HP and applies the Stealth token, where enemies cannot target you. A very useful skill to hide in the shadows as you plan your next move. (Requires the hero to reflect on her past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)

Glint in the Dark: Glint in the Dark is a melee attack that ignores enemies that have 20% resistance to a Deathblow. It also ignores enemies that are in Stealth and it also removes the effect. Since you know how to hide behind the shadows, you definitely know how to force enemies to reveal themselves. (Requires the hero to reflect on her past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)

Lunge: Another melee attack where the Grave Robber lunges forward, as well as moving two ranks up. This skill can only be used if you are positioned at the back ranks, 3 and 4, and she can only attack enemies that are mostly in front, from enemy ranks 1-3. This attack ignores enemies that have the Dodge token, as long as the Grave Robber is buffed with the Stealth token. (Requires the hero to reflect on her past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)

Pirouette: A melee attack that is useful if you either start each match where you are positioned in the front ranks 1-2. It's more effective as an aggressive move if you want to attack two enemies that are also in the front ranks or you can use it as a move to reposition yourself at the back ranks where you can use your ranged, sniping skills. It has a good amount of damage and CRIT chance but it has a cooldown of 2 turns and inflicts the Dazed negative status effect to her which skips your turn once. Apart from moving 3 ranks at the back, it also applies the Dodge token where there is a 50% chance for her to dodge the next attack. (Requires the hero to reflect on her past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)

Repartee: Repartee is another utility skill that she can use at any position rank she is at. This requires her to have the Stealth token as well if you want to use this skill. By triggering this skill, the Grave Robber acquires the Dodge token, Taunts enemies for 2 instances and removes the Stealth token. A useful skill to help other heroes that have low HP. Although you are taunting enemies, there's a 50% chance that you can avoid enemy attacks, allowing you to help recover HP or save your teammates from dying. (Requires the hero to reflect on her past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)

Shadow Fade: This is another support-movement skill where she moves two ranks at the back and enters Stealth. One of her best skills to hide behind the shadows, allowing yourself to plan your next move or to avoid devastating attacks from an enemy. (Requires the hero to reflect on her past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)
