Its irrational and bad to infect your body in order to blight enemies.....but then you remember the Flagellant literally considers this as best time of his life.
he's kinky
Coat yourself in chemical weapons and the enemy isnt gonna wanna hit you (injuries are not service related)
@@armintor2826 they call it self-destruction, I just call it an automatic riposte 😎
His enthusiasm is infectious! Along with a ton of other stuff in his body.
Flag's best move by far is when he morphs into functioning musketeer, truly the best character ever red hook
Musketeer Maniac over here
And if he is morphing then he is actually abomination the true best character
@@dasuberpanda I kinda miss slapping peeps with chains to get guaranteed stuns. Good times.
Flagellant is the living version of “sneeze on your knuckles to make your punches do poison damage to your enemies”
I think "living" might be a bit of a stretch
To play before the release, Shuffle struck a bargain with ancient things who live in a deep water....
I wonder who he sacrificed next to th Red Hook idol from his room.
00:39 omg the gentlest butterfly kiss of that anamnesis is classic occultist.
His worst flaw is that all your crew ends up hating him, which makes sense if you think about it 😂
In my current run, I'm using Wanderer and Lash's Gift has seen some really good value putting other people from 4 stress to 5 which was not something I'd ever thought I'd want.
Death can appear before the Shrine she appears in

DD3 Flagellant will be a spooky skeleton you can hire on your travels in the crypts. His status effect will be calcium.
Excited to dive into this new Flagellant! He was a top 3 favorite character of mine in the first game, can’t lie I miss his whole bleeding aesthetic and kit but still excited to learn him.
Thanks so much for the video! Always a huge help, can’t wait for the next guides. 🙌🏻
18:00 found out that jester virtuoso can be pretty good with flag, 100% stress resist can help wery safetly use his skills. and of course jester generate tokens
The another unique trinket for him really plays well into exanimate as any heal that gets him off death's door gets him to full so in critical situations he doesn't have to risk well... dying
The video really helped me figuring out what the builds actually were doing with their new rather non-descriptive tooltips. Now I maybe won't run the examinate support the next time by accident. Thanks for the help!
In one run, I got Flagellant randomly into my team because I lost a character in a boss fight. I didn't knew about the ''Death Boss'' so I got to a hero shrine, what a bad idea that was.... After the hero shrine I was the resistance thing and I was basically done with it but then HE shows up and just ends my run hahaha
Sh
Audrey and Damian are my goats for my first run so far they are the only survivors of a cultist battle that went really bad 😭 They had to drown their sorrows that night
I'm going to buy this tonight & finally learn what the implications of these tokens mean. They've been going over my head for 1.5 years.
Combat got moved from stats based buffs/debuffs from the first game (i.e. -25% acc or +10% prot) to a token based buff debuff system (i.e. you get a token of +50% damage which lets you attack once for that bonus, or one token of +50% prot which lets you tank one hit for half damage). I think its a much more clear and intuitive system and positive and negative tokens can stack on eachother. Instances where conflicting tokens get applied at the same time (like 1 strength token of +50% damage and 1 weak token for -50% damage) will cancel eachother out.
I've been running him with man at arms and have been really enjoying the combo. The combination of Flag's self-heal buffing the MaA (who is set to reposte) and then the MaA removing the stress with bolster is great, and hard to break through for most enemies. Plus deathless can heal MaA in a pinch.
When I first saw that he had only one shrine encounter i was kinda disappointed, but now that I know that he ALSO gets a similar "nightmare" mechanic to shieldbreaker where the boss can show up at any point makes that decision more understandable
he has 5 now. did they just add those in 1.0?
@@TheGielnik i meant actual combat encounters. The other heroes get 2 unique battles and 3 narrations, while flagellant only gets one combat encounter and 4 narrations
Flagellant goes Toxic so often even when I don't intend it, lol. He ends runs with serious THIS FUCKIN' GUY syndrome and I love it
I already love new Flag. Without him my first 1.0 Run would've ended in the first Region because the game decided to give the enemies 100% Crit for 2 battles. Flag healed everyone and Vestal healed Flag.
I got back into DD2 recently, and tried flag for the first time. Wasn’t really thinking of team comp, just fun, ended up with orphan runaway, warlock occ, wanderer flag, and poet leper. I realized very quickly that my two damage dealers had very little health and my tank had very little damage. Then I started figuring flag out and was surprised how well the team was doing! The double tank was working really well! Occ’s abyssal too, and Bonnie was putting firefly and smokescreen to work!
I don't remember the name of the trinket but one run i had was Scourge Flagellant having (+2 damage to attacker) then having him go toxic and spamming More MORE
He carried the entire run, Librarian, General and Seething Sigh blew themselves up trying to kill him
If you ever consider re-doing your character guides please discuss toxic and what its good for/when to use it/how to get it. I realize you are pumping these out like mad and some stuff is going to get missed. Only guide i haven't come away from so far with a good grasp on how to play the character, keep up the good work.
If flag gets some big changes I'll go back
Can't wait for your tier lists now that 1.0 is out on steam and I finally have the game.
i always run flag with maniac and punish, suffer, more more, lash's gift and undying, works really well imo
FLAGELLANT MY BELOVED
Honestly scourge flagellant and alchemist plague doctor absolutely saved me at the act 2 boss thanks to sepis and cause of death and how NEITHER OF THEM WOULD DIE AND PD GETTING RESOLUTE EVERY STRESS CHECK. Holy fuck i popped off so hard when i killed my resentment.
Thanks, nice video. What do you think about death's trinkets ?
Can you remove "His Prison" trinket between fights to mitigate the +10% negative banter?
For driving? You could! Smart idea
I dont understand the flagellant yet. I dont know how to use him. He's a healer/frontline/attacker thing.
Thanks for the video
Hey @shuffleFM , can I play the experimental normally or the right way is start everything over again and instal the normal version? Can I use my progression? Do u know?
Love your videos waiting for ds2 to come to PlayStation!
same 😔
Interesting note, maniac allowd flag to be more effective in rank 3, at the cost of being unable to use more!
If you already have MaA for tanking, flag can make an excellent healer :) substituting more more for weaken
What's weaken?
@@HellecticMojo rain of sorrows (the attack that blights back two ranks) applies weaken instead when using the maniac path, and can be super helpful to slow down backline comps!
@@HellecticMojo i might have got the name wrong, but you get the idea! 😅
Magic man
Flagellant is so fun in late game, with flapjacks and with a ton of hp with trinkets, iirc he had 125 hp going into the mountain, he died but dismas carried as usual lol. He died on his first death's door sadly, he was healing 54 hp with sepsis.
How to Flag (Wanderer edition):
1) hurt yourself
2) Sepsis
3) repeat
I kid, but Sepsis (especially Sepsis+) is so much fun to use.
DD GUIDES ARE BACK!!!
Once you beat the Death she gives you a broken trinket, it heals 100% hp every time your character recovers from death's door. Maa rules babyyyyy
Fun idea to see how he changed from game to game, kinda wish another character did that (other than Antiq)...
Why didn't you talk about Maniac's Punish when Mastered always giving combo? It makes Flag so good in so many teams!
Shuff: Death popping up is a low chance
Death: comes after me 3 times in a run, twice in the Sleuce
If you're going to push Flagellant to Toxic deliberately, how do you handle the -2 affinity pips it inflicts to the rest of the team? Do you just accept it'll be dump-statted to 0, or do you spend resources to try and keep it up?
Can anyone tell me what's Flag's backstory in the shrines?
Listen to Rihanna's song "S&M"
He likes getting beat up to an unhealthy degree
Got his ass beat, found out he liked it, got religious, got kicked out for being religious, got his ass beat till he nearly died, beat deaths ass, wanders around getting his ass beat
He got beat up so hard he should've died, but when Death came for him he told her to fuck off because he hasn't suffered enough and beat her up.
Bro played 11 minutes of the class and is releasing a guide
Jk im sure he had an NDA and played early in the closed test group
Just waiting on the Taco Bell dlc where we get to play their long lost sibling, The Flatulent
Does Flag get negative relationships when he gets Toxic?
yes. it is shown in background footage
I don't use cuppa or kutchen knives on flagellant cause it can benefit any team member, but goblet and that blight duration trinket turns him into a Bligh lord
For exanimate does the extra blight only trigger on combo or does it always happen when he’s below 50%?
Always under 50%
@@jankaigailus6702 thank u
would jester be better so flagellant get 30 % resist piercing to combo enemy?
I must have missed it but I cant seem to find where but what does toxic even do? I think this is the most important details that isn't really covered too well in this video
Toxic just makes it so when flag gets hit by someone he blights them like sickening silence.
@@ShuffleFM so it just does the exact same as a meltdown with the added effect of applying blight on being hit? how long does it last for? im guessing its just a 3 turn buff? and how much blight? 1 or 2?
so one thing i dont understand about him is that you want him to go toxic but then everyone hates him and it seems you get locked into using random skills when that happens, is there a way to avoid that ?
Gotta be selective with toxic. Maybe once per boss fight until the mountain, then get it 3 times to max it out if need to.
I just bought this game and when I turn it on, a single intro sound effect and a cursor is all I have. Does anyone know what it might be about?
How does the heal of sepsis work? I kinda getting ridiculous low heal on that. What are thr condition needed?
Sepsis changes drastically depending on the path. I assume you are playing Exanimate since that sepsis SETS the HP to 45% rather than heal 45%
Scourge doesn't even heal
Maniac and Wanderer heals a lot
@@HellecticMojo i tested it with scourge. So your saying the heal is broken on that path? Never tried maniac yet but I'm about to be it's interesting. I just a Hellion(Carcass), HW (YH), Occu(Ritualist), Jester(Virtuoso). Got mess up already from the start. Hellion is up front. Damn. Hel and HW got tag but I eventually killed the boss. Good thing thr corspe of HW is still there, got deathblow immediately by Occu. Btw Burning Star tends to ignore block. Don't know it's a bug, i did it multiple times
@@synergistex7088 no, it's not broken. It works exactly as written. Select scourge. The description for sepsis will be different.
Well that was fast
Flagellant is a Chad who refuse to die
Does undying regen tick first before dots, similar to dd1?
No :(
Regen needs to be a higher amount than the dot to keep you alive
My parents sent me to therapy for cutting myself, they don’t understand there is power in the blood for those with the fortitude to pay the price
Look at how my boy massacred himself -
how long did it take for DD1 to be released on console? does anyone remember that?
2years
So does Exanimate Sepsis is basically a Finale but with DoT?
Kinda?
Death can pop up before the shrine
Any idea why I have to unlock occultist again after 1.0 patch?
Happened to me with hellion and runaway, from what I understand they increased the unlock cost from 4 to 8, so if you had less than 8 candles in a character (for me it was only the 4 to originally unlock them) you needed to pay the added amount to unlock them again
I was gonna wait, but I bought it. I even got the DD1 OWNER discount. I was gonna wait a bit but what the hell.
Did you get the discount on steam? I did not get it...
@@israelip you have to buy it with the Iron Crown Bundle for the discount IF you already own the original game with all dlc.
Really feels like he's held together in a lot of cases by More More which is a genuinely amazing move. I like some of his stuff but a lot of his kit just feels weird/bad. Maybe that's just me with little experience so far, but it'd be nice if some moves got changed to be less niche in particular.
Death appears even before the shrine's though.
The heck lol. Red Hook with the spoilers.
I ❤️ flaj
In reality how can you have a proper relationship to a dying man or a dead man?
ayo where's the explanation of how toxic works? i have no clue what it does and it sure is diffrent
It was sort of explained in the article he came with, but if you missed that then here’s the basics
Flagellant cannot meltdown or become resolute, only getting the stress reaction Toxic. It’s similar to a meltdown but not as deadly, bringing him to a low enough health to use his more powerful moves that require he’s under a threshold of health. On top of this, it resets all of his skill cooldowns (and maybe total uses but I’m not sure) and gives him a buff that makes his skills do more blight. Other than that, I’m not sure if there are any other differences to a regular meltdown
they want you to affliction with him and he still gens relationship hits, that's lame.
I Hope they change him to neutral relationship on toxic
Flagellant is so into BDSM that he literally grosses(blight) his enemies out to death
sound veeery gimmick for a game where the basic strategy is basically focusing a single enemy each turn to avoid getting hit as much as possible
his trinkets also sounds gimmick, unless they changed the way you obtain trinkets, you just can't count on obtaining anything relevant in your runs
Waht is Toxic?
I don't see why would you want to make him toxic before the mountain region. Good relationships are WAY more important than a few additional blight points here and there.
It's a solid strat on lair fights but otherwise yeah.
fml Epic store did not relased the goddamn 1.0 game on my time code yet.
DD1: Ohh wow, this guy looks cool, hes like some kind of masochist
DD2: Whoo god what happened to * Gags* God you smell like rot and vomit
Weakness: Is a Toxic Gamer. Says Gamer Words regularly.
gameplay on the background pains me.
wtf is that team my dude
Wtf r u talking about? Dying? lol Flag never dies if played right
"If played right" is such a universal constant that it's not worth talking about imo. Anyone is good if played right, with the right trinkets, paths, teammates etc
why donchu flagellant ma balls?
