Darkest Dungeon 2 Leper Hero Guide

The Leper hero class in Darkest Dungeon 2 is a man who is described to have embraced solemnity despite being tortured by a dreaded sickness, this has taught him to count not on the care of others. He has learned to channel his energy inward, a kingdom within one man. His power can neither serve nor comfort others; but, drawing on it, he can gain strength others can but dream of, or the endurance to bear what no other could. And when his massive blade falls, death's call rings loud to all caught in its thunderous arc. However, such force falls not nimbly, and foes may lightly evade their execution. His dread sickness has given the Leper his name surely as it has taken his body.

Huddled by a campfire, its ruinous toll becomes most evident, to himself and those lit by the same flames. Should their mental firmness be tenuous, the Leper may isolate himself to spare their peace of mind; a mercy, paid for with his own well-being. However, if his own solace be paramount, the protection and prison of his mask may be slipped, a calming intoxication of air upon a striken visage. While looking upon such maligned flesh may revolt those he shares the firelight with, true companionship he can always find, meditating on his lofty blade — a once officious weapon, now broken as the man who wields it.

A ruined man, a warrior, and a poet. The Leper is most effective when given a turn to focus himself before raising his massive blade. When he swings, it is all or nothing - crushing blows and massive damage or the empty whistling of a glancing blow. He is entirely self-sufficient, drawing strength from his life of trauma, and able to channel it into healing, protection, or unrelenting fury. Since the Leper may take as much as damage as he can, he still needs to be given the right support by boosting his other stats such as dodging and maintaining his HP and Stress level. Although the Leper is also capable of supporting himself such as using the Reflection and Solemnity skills to recover HP and reduce Stress, or the Withstand skill which grants him resistance to all DoT effects, he still works well if paired with other support-type heroes such as the Plague Doctor who can further boost his strength, buff his other resistances, while also maintaining his stress.

The Leper works well as the main front rank member of the team and can work as a replacement for the Man at Arms.During combat, his main melee attack is the Chop skill that damages enemies but at the same time, the Leper becomes blinded with the Blind Token. Having the Blind token means that his next attack has a 50% chance to miss. Apart from that, most of his skills apply various negative status effect Tokens in exchange for a strong and useful skill. Provide him with support as much as possible to keep him alive, he is after all a hero who stands as the main tank and secondary DPS member of your team's lineup.

In the Early Access of Darkest Dungeon 2, the game starts off with four starting heroes such as the Plague Doctor, Man at Arms, Grave Robber, and Highwayman. As for the Leper hero class, he becomes available as you reach Profile Level 12. By doing this, players will need to gather Hope resources which is used to increase the profile level. Earning Hope is done by performing well on a run, and several factors increase it such as meeting certain goals of a journey you embark on, as well as winning enemy encounters. If you want to change your team lineup, you will need to abandon your current run and start a new one.

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 Leper's past, this hero can unlock and learn more Skills.

Hew: Upon learning the Hew ability, it is best to use this instead of the Chop ability if you want to quickly damage and kill enemies. Think of it as killing two birds with one stone. Although it has less damage compared to the Chop it is capable of hitting two enemies at once. Apart from damaging enemies, it also has a 75% chance for the Leper to acquire the Blind Token. his skill can only be used if the Leper hero is standing on rank positions 1 or 2. (Requires the hero to reflect on his past via the Shrine of Reflection to learn this skill.)

Ruin: Ruin is another self-buff skill that triggers the effect only if he is damaged by an enemy. The skill is best used as a combo with intimidate.

Break: Break is another melee attack skill that is useful to negate enemies buffed with the Block token.
