Hey, I just wanted to thank you for making DD content in 2019 despite it not being one of the most popular game out there, proves that you make videos of the game because you like it and not because it's popular. I really like your videos and it helps me on my expeditions.
What's not to love about a character with crazy accuracy, no fear of traps, can cure her own blights, bleeds and diseases, and can set HERSELF up for big damage on top of that sexy dodge and speed she has? Oh and did I forget her shuffle immunity? because she has shuffle immunity. She can be in the rank you want her in in one turn, possibly while attacking and she cares not one wit what rank she is when she stabs a monster in his blighted, debuffed face?
She is good, but I think I struggle to like her based on my play style. She can certainly fit into some parties really well and obviously the fade lunge combo is very strong.
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming Kinda. Feels like Red Hook whole after thought on abilities was reborn after the game released, so, they put everything on SB, and released a DLC dedicating the abilities on a singular character. she has every damn ability that is necessary in every or in any dungeon. So, I see what you mean by saying that SB pretty much outclasses everyone. Her only downside is her seven nightmares, but even that is temporary and rewarding. It's a bit tedious to deal with nightmares at apprentice lvls, or without a good stress healer, or taking SB with boss missions at apprentice lvls you better avoid to camp, or else it may thoroughly mess up your entire run. At apprentice lvls, I'm taking her x3 along with Vestal, annihilates pretty much every moving thing along the way. And she's also kinda dancy, capable to move from any shuffling position. GR, SB, HWM, Jester are my favourite dance team, kinda weak to sustain longer dungeons, mostly works perfect in medium and short dungeons, if you want to lvl up or stress heal for free fast.
Time stamps are in the description. The Crusader is next, followed up by the Bounty Hunter! I hope you enjoy the setup and recommendations are always welcome.
Keep in mind that removing disease abilities are HUGE on endless mode. I got disease twice on one run, luckily I had a doctor to cure it, but the grave robber would be good too
This is another excellent, comprehensive guide and I learned a lot. I liked your trinket suggestions. I always have two GR in my roster because her usefulness is situational. She is massively useful in the cove and synergises so well with the plague doctor and Abom. I sometimes take poison darts there over thrown dagger for the combo and crit chance. She is also ideal for the brigand pounder with thrown dagger against the fuselier. Finally, I used her in the third Darkest Dungeon alongside a hellion and plague doctor: the hellion and grave robber took out the white cell stalk every round while the plague doctor stunned the mammoth cyst. The party was not teleported once and the dungeon was very easy as a result.
I agree that she shines the most bright in the cove for many reasons. She brings an extra shovel which is amazing for the cove and heroes who do well in the cove are ones that do blight. I have used her against the brigand obviously for that accuracy you just mentioned as well. She is a good character and with the right people can do a respectable amount of damage.
I'm really surprised you don't have more subs man, you've got a really good format going. If you keep doing vids like this(for any game) you'll def make it far!
Loved the guitar background music added in post. It clashes a little with the in-game music of the recording. But still, love the character and loved the video.
I'm glad you liked it! You mean it's a little off once it gets to the Dungeons correct? Would it be better if I just muted the Dungeons or killed the music? This was my second episode with music so I'm trying to feel it out.
HiDdeN SQuiDZ Gaming I just think the video should have either the in game music or the music added in post, not both at the same time. You could mute the in game music (not the sound effects) if you know you are going to add other music during editing. Still, just a suggestion, it’s not really that noticeable, it just bugged me a little.
I was thinking the same thing. I think I will mute all in game music since that changes a lot, since I can control the guitar music more. Thank you for your feedback!
Love the series of you going over each hero. I recently started using this more for her movement and her ability to blight and hit multiple targets which in some areas is amazing. Any plans to try your first darkest dungeon assult anytime soon?
Thank you for watching! Regarding darkest dungeon, I am going to complete the crimson court dlc first, which is going to happen pretty soon actually. Maybe about 5 to 10 weeks?
'Grave Robber does not offer much damage' like what? She is pretty much the highest damage dealer in the game, Lunge with Sharpened Letter Opener just one shots most enemies.
As always, thank you for watching! She has one of the highest single target dps, but she can lack in overall dps. I replied in another comment about why I am hesitant on lunge. If you do not set her up to use lunge for every turn, you almost have to take the damage she does and divide it by two if you are counting for shadow fade. If you use lunge to start, it is good damage, but after that, she has to shadow fade or use her other abilities which I am not a fan of. I will not disagree about one shotting most enemies, but doing a 40 crit to a 20 to 21 hp bone royalty is more than I need and if I took two turns to do that, not worth it in my book. Also, it cannot hit the 4th position which means I may not be able to blow up the stress damage dealer right away if it sits back there. I hope I do not come across as looking down on her, she does not fit into may play style. So I can am skewed in my thoughts of her.
Saying that "she is the highest damage dealer in the game" is really just looking at half of the picture. Her base damage is piss poor for a deidcated damage dealer with no utility. Shadowfade and Lunge, along with, yes, a Sharpened Letter Opener, allow you to inflict insane tons of damage... every other turn, and only if your entire party revolves around her. Hitting mobs for 70 damage is not very efficient either... The Grave Robber has her place, but she's definitely tricky to use, and big numbers are not the only thing DD players should care about.
@@arthursimsa9005 You don't even need to use Shadow Fade, just use her in a comp with other people who can move forward too, for example, one of my favorite team comps is (from rank 1 to rank 4) Shieldbreaker, Highwayman, Vestal, Graverobber. Graverobber uses lunge every turn, while highwayman uses duelist's advance (unless he is in rank 1 in which case he uses point blank shot), and shieldbreaker uses the armor piercing move forward thing I forgot the name of if not in position 1, and otherwise impale (unless of course there is only like 1-2 enemies left in which case use the other move there too).
Grave Robber is one of those classes that’s a lot of almost. The real problem I have with her is that she requires way too much party shuffling to play well with the good healing/stress healing options. She’s a lot of work and setup for not a lot of reward. She deals with diseases, but plague doctor also does that and has a lot of other utility. The dodge is nice, of course.
Sorry for chiming in here but. “The real problem I have with her is that she requires way too much party shuffling to play well with the good healing/stress healing options.” Not really? She doesn’t play well with the jester and only the jester. Her lunge can be used to push the hound master into cry havoc range The hound master can also set up marks for her that also ignore protect, and the crusader don’t care where he is for inspiring cry. One of my favorite team comps is Vestal, GR, HWM, Crus. Which allows for good heals and good stress heals and doesn’t care at all about shuffling. However a GR, Arb/Mus, HM, Occ comp also works. Staci speed on the grave robber or lower speed on the Hm to assure GR goes first, and then you can lunge, shadow fade, blight or throw daggers with marks set up from your occ, arb, or hound master. And these are Just two comp idea’s. Now are you allowed to critique her needing set up to do good damage, Yes. But the complaint of her not working well with stress healers is IMO not a good one especially with the crusader’s inspiring cry which can heal up to 12 stress with trinkets.
Flashing daggers is good for one specific reason, and that's teaming up with abomination, who inflicts blight on rows 2 and 3. Equip GR with the trinket that increases damage against blighted enemies and this does respectable damage. Probably not massive damage but paired with the blights already on them, you're probably gonna end up with normal enemy parties having their 2 and 3rd row dead in 2 turns. You just have get some speed onto your abomination You can even try to set it up with fade for massive damage so long as you have someone who's gonna take out the back row, like a crusader with holy Lance. Gets a bit finnicky with positioning but I've seen it work really well
I'm thinking she would be great in a party with an abomination and a jester. With that 3 speed trinket he has the abom is fast enough to get the blight in first for lunge to one shot the 3rd or 2nd ranks, if not then the blight can finish them sooner or later. You need a stress healer for the abom and jesters are good for buffing his low accuracy for the battles where he goes beast mode. This party needs an anchor to hold the first rank, i'm not sure who but it should probably be a healer.
That party is really set up nice for a lunge, riposte, then either 2 stuns between the MAA and Vestal or a command/riposte from the MAA. The back liners should die first with lunge and riposte.
I like em, pair with PD for bonus damage, start her in 3rd position before fight starts. Optimize speed so pd goes first and blights 3,4 then GR gets to lunge and onehit pos 3. She is very squishy though... My graverobbers are the ones that die most of the classes.
If she is not dodging, she certainly does not have the HP to be in the front that is for sure! That is why I am a fan of giving her dodge trinkets until she hits about 60 to 70.
A great analysis from a great channel! I’m partial to the grave robber myself, but I understand the criticisms against her. One small issue I had with the video: you had the audio from the game, including the music, playing along with the guitar music you added...it was really distracting at times. Just my two cents.
Thank you for the compliment and feedback! If you check out the next one, crusader review, I changed up that guitar and game music. I think it worked better.
if only graverobber stats were a tinnyyyy bit better, shadow fade stunned positions 1,2 or 3 but gave only small dodge and damage boost and lunge could target rank 4, and if only her toxin trickery wasnt the worst self use ability in the game, why does the hero with literally the highest speed and one of the lowest health want anotha speed boost to die before the healer can get to them and her pick to the face didnt have such an unreasonable neg damage mod on top of her crippled base damage and range when shieldbreaker exists loll its HILARIOUS like surely it should have some kind of gimmick to compete with SB pierce right but i still love gr
Still don't like her. She mess up team composition too much, requires for other companions to use blight/mark to reach her full potential, shadow fade - is always looks like a waste of turn, toxic trickery doesn't heal her even for 1hp to remove from deaths door
She pairs well with a highwayman and the man at arms. Highwayman and MAA both riposte, after that you buff with the man at arms and guard the graverobber. All characters wont get messed up by positioning and its a great combo for bossfights or drawn out fights when you rely on consistent heavy dps
Use her in Warrens. She cures multiple diseases from 2 people, her and +1. Huge enough for me. First turn she use dagger on position 4, then Hellion use iron swan to kill it. Then she one shots 3 position with lunge and pick to the face on the 1-2 pos, which armored most of all. Against swine skiwer (God, they are scary) you can try set up shadow fade + lunge depending on his position. Very comfortable class to this warrens strategy: Grave robber, Vestal, Houndmaster, Hellion.
I have used her in the warrens before and she is pretty darn good there, especially for killing those swine that do the disease and stress damage attacks.
@@stanley3005 I am glad my experience and knowledge could help! It is a very difficult game to understand and took many hours of me falling on my face to get here.
It's exactly like you said. She gets overlook cuz of other characters. I really like her concept as a character and she a 2nd best girl imo :v but I just find myself to put her in a team. I only used her when I wanted to get her to resolve 6 for achievement. Shield breaker ruins everything :v
The graverobber arguments never seem to go away, but I'm with ShuffleFM... definitely one of the top 4/5 classes in the game IF you set her up, and I suspect that's where people go wrong. They set her on the back row and either throw daggers for average damage, or use Lunge turn 1 and get discouraged when she gets 2 tapped with a crit/DoT combo. I'm not even sure why there is a comparison with Shieldbreaker... the functionality should be completely different. In fact SB and GR are a perfect synergetic team anyway. The whole "shadow fade means more damage for the rest of the team" makes little sense to me either. Like... you don't want her to get hit, so why is this suddenly a problem? It's the same with the "she messes up my team composition" arguments. I mean, duh? That's why you don't have her in your team if you want a team with zero functionality and want everyone to stay in their place. If you're bringing someone who just HAS to stay in row 2, you're probably not thinking that much. And that's fine, but the notion this is a con for the GR is silly. Stack her with crit, use shadow fade, see the results. Leaving her at the back and then trying to utilize Pick for the rest of the battle after lunging is the least effective way of playing her
First off, thank you for watching. I haven't watched this in a while so I cannot remember the exact things I said in here. The biggest strength with Darkest dungeon is the fact that almost every hero can shine if you set them up properly. Where she ranks IF she is in the right situation is hard for me to say, but I could see why people would place her so high. She can do massive damage, but my personal preference is, I do not like heroes who need to take two of their own turns to do massive damage (i.e. the Leper with Revenge). I still like the leper since he can do great damage outside of revenge but I no longer use revenge as much (this is a personal playstyle). I may have changed my mind since this video, but honestly I would prefer she be attacked since I tend to stack her towards the high dodge option (natural 60 to 70). But, if she does shadow fade that does allow potentially 3 to 4 attacks (in the first round) spread throughout only 3 heroes. This is not necessarily abnormal but COULD allow unequal distribution of physical damage or stress damage to the party. Finally, I agree that if you are unwilling to make a shuffling party why bother having her at all. I think the graverobber is an acquired taste much like the abomination. They can be great if you use them often and know the teams that suck every last drop out of their potential. As always, feel free to respond I enjoy the thoughts and conversations!
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming I would disagree with shieldbreaker outclassing her, more like they work great together, one of the most powerful party comps is graverobber, arbalest/musketeer, highwayman, and shieldbreaker (from rank 4 to 1), you don't need a vestal because everything dies super fast, arbalest with medics greaves is enough healing for what little damage they have time to do. Basically graverobber use lunge, which puts her in position 2, then highwayman duelists advances and shieldbreaker uses either impale or pierce, depending on situation. This way you can pretty much use Lunge every round, while also keeping up highwaymans riposte at all times.
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming i alvays have problem with taking her to my roaster, not bcs shieldbreaker, i love this lunge/pick to the face crits kills, but as you said he is not tanky and force you to take damage on 3 characters instead of 4, houndmaster and plague doctor or occultist for me fits support role with some damage better for dps i would ever take holy lance + stress heal crusader instead of her her skills are great, but speed and being invisible have no match with prot/dodge/damage buffs

That's why you don't have her in your team if you want a team with zero functionality and want everyone to stay in their place. If you're bringing someone who just HAS to stay in row 2, you're probably not thinking that much. And that's fine, but the notion this is a con for the GR is silly.
Stack her with crit, use shadow fade, see the results. Leaving her at the back and then trying to utilize Pick for the rest of the battle after lunging is the least effective way of playing her
First off, thank you for watching. I haven't watched this in a while so I cannot remember the exact things I said in here. The biggest strength with Darkest dungeon is the fact that almost every hero can shine if you set them up properly. Where she ranks IF she is in the right situation is hard for me to say, but I could see why people would place her so high.
She can do massive damage, but my personal preference is, I do not like heroes who need to take two of their own turns to do massive damage (i.e. the Leper with Revenge). I still like the leper since he can do great damage outside of revenge but I no longer use revenge as much (this is a personal playstyle). I may have changed my mind since this video, but honestly I would prefer she be attacked since I tend to stack her towards the high dodge option (natural 60 to 70). But, if she does shadow fade that does allow potentially 3 to 4 attacks (in the first round) spread throughout only 3 heroes. This is not necessarily abnormal but COULD allow unequal distribution of physical damage or stress damage to the party. Finally, I agree that if you are unwilling to make a shuffling party why bother having her at all.
I think the graverobber is an acquired taste much like the abomination. They can be great if you use them often and know the teams that suck every last drop out of their potential. As always, feel free to respond I enjoy the thoughts and conversations!
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming I would disagree with shieldbreaker outclassing her, more like they work great together, one of the most powerful party comps is graverobber, arbalest/musketeer, highwayman, and shieldbreaker (from rank 4 to 1), you don't need a vestal because everything dies super fast, arbalest with medics greaves is enough healing for what little damage they have time to do. Basically graverobber use lunge, which puts her in position 2, then highwayman duelists advances and shieldbreaker uses either impale or pierce, depending on situation. This way you can pretty much use Lunge every round, while also keeping up highwaymans riposte at all times.
:D
she is not that good! stop praising that
She used to be better, but then the shieldbreaker came out :(
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming i alvays have problem with taking her to my roaster, not bcs shieldbreaker, i love this lunge/pick to the face crits kills, but as you said he is not tanky and force you to take damage on 3 characters instead of 4, houndmaster and plague doctor or occultist for me fits support role with some damage better
for dps i would ever take holy lance + stress heal crusader instead of her
her skills are great, but speed and being invisible have no match with prot/dodge/damage buffs
@@SCARaw hound master.. now that is a garbage class
