Just either bring extra torches or Bring a crusader with inspiring cry. Do not be afraid to try him in the front lines and don’t be afraid that his stun lowers torch. Speaking of occultist he’s actually a pretty good front line unit. If you throw him on your team throw an Arbalist/Musketeer or some sort of secondary healer on as well.Ħ. Do not throw him on a party expecting him to solo keep it alive unless rng is is on your side. Accuracy and speed are the two most important stats.ĥ. Always aim for stress dealers over damage dealers.Ĥ. Stress damage is harder to heal off then health damage. Every hero has something they excel at.Ģ. Originally posted by Jesterofgames7712:1. If you want some good beginner guides, ShuffleFM on Youtube has a good series that I used shamelessly as a resource when I was starting my campaign. if you are having trouble getting cash, take an Antiquarian and make sure she is the one to interact with every curio in the dungeon take blight skills to the Ruins and the Cove, bleed skills to the Warrens and Weald (although there are bandits in all zones and they are vulnerable to both) You get the same stress healing in the Abbey and it's easier to upgrade. personally I don't bother with the Tavern, it takes the same resources to upgrade as the Guild and they are the hardest ones to come by.

prioritize heirlooms for upgrading the Guild and the Blacksmith, so you can keep your heroes skills and gear upgraded in pace with their level

It takes the same heirlooms as the Blacksmith and once your roster size is sufficient to work with, the Blacksmith should be higher priority. upgrade the stagecoach at least a couple times so you get more choice of heroes each week, and then to increase your roster size, but you don't need to worry about upgrading it fully. generally you want to prioritize the backline, that's where the stress-dealers usually hang out and you want them gone as quickly as possible make sure your party can cover all enemy positions, meaning someone needs to be able to hit the enemy backline

No advice for the Circus, I've never played it.
