Note that while the strength of individual heroes is important to consider it’s often the team as a whole that determines just how effective you’ll be at adventuring and while a hero is strong that does not automatically make 4 of them the ultimate team. While players might have their own preferences and playstyles that influence the design of a team there are some heroes in Darkest Dungeon that will give you an easier time when consistently used in specific team roles. As a result there are many combinations players can utilise although most heroes have a preferred position they want to occupy in your roster based on their intended role that will drive your decisions. With 16 hero classes in the base game and an additional 2 added through DLC players have a wealth of choices to design their ultimate party of 4 heroes for the next expedition to progress your Hamlet. Our Darkest Dungeon tier list explores the best classes for each area in this brutal roguelike adventure where you will find yourself constantly throwing parties of heroes together to face varied dark threats.
