The Shieldbreaker DLC - Now Available!
Hailing from the distant windswept dunes of the east, the Shieldbreaker arrives in the Hamlet! Deadly as a viper, her iron will has been forged in the heat of the blazing desert sun. Though outwardly demure, her emancipation from the barren wastes came at a price so terrible, it haunts her dreams even now...

The Shieldbreaker is a powerful ally in the fight to reclaim the Estate and banish the evil that squats in the Darkest Dungeon. A highly-tactical hero with solid damage dealing capability, she truly excels when countering monsters with high protection and those who guard their allies. Her movement, speed, and targeted abilities make her a valuable ally for dismantling intractable monster groups. Though relatively low health, the Shieldbreaker is yet highly survivable in short bursts thanks to her Aegis shield.

New Feature: Curio Tracker

• As you interact with curios in the game, you will see icons on the items in your inventory that will help you remember which ones yielded positive or negative results! This feature will allow you to build up your own knowledge base of curio hints through experience!
• You can turn this function off in the Gameplay Options. (Default is set to ON)

New Combat Mechanic: Stealth. Stealthed monsters cannot be targeted by direct attacks unless that attack has the Bypass Stealth quality. Stealth generally lasts for the first 2 rounds of combat. Stealthed monsters can be hit with indirect attacks such as AOE.

• These Monsters have been given Stealth beginning at Veteran level:
  
  • Brigand Fusilier
  • Brigand Hunter
  • Crone
  • Pelagic Shaman
  • Bone Soldier
  • Swine Slasher

• These Skills have been given Bypass Stealth and De-Stealth. In other words, the attacks can hit stealthed monsters AND pull those monsters out of stealth.
  
  • SHIELDBREAKER (see DLC)
  • Highwayman: Tracking Shot
  • Arbalest/Musketeer: Rallying Flare
  • This skill now targets one enemy to remove stealth, while still granting its original party buffs.
  • Antiquarian: Flash Powder
  • Occultist: Vulnerability Hex
  • Leper: Intimidate
