Week 4: Mod Showcase

[h3]”A moment of clarity in the eye of the storm..."[/h3]

[h3]Here are this weeks mods:[/h3]

The Windcaller by Power

The Windcaller is a Buff/Debuff focused Support Hero, built around Pushing and Pulling both friend and foe alike. With strong gusts of wind she can disrupt enemy positioning, weakening them in the process and leaving them vulnerable. Should your opponents do the same, she can simply Slingshot your heroes to the frontline, or Whisk them away To Safety in the backline. If your team can handle it, she can also grant a huge buff to Dodge, Speed, and Crit chance, at the cost of Shuffling your entire party in a Wild Whirlwind.

She works well in stationary teams with fixed positioning, able to easily reposition heroes back in their proper locations should they be shuffled or moved. But she also works wonders in teams built around dancing and moving around, taking advantage of strong buffs and offering a unique party-wide shuffle to buff up your heroes. Whether it's keeping a Leper firmly planted in the frontline with Storming Slingshot, or shuffling your Grave Robber around to spam Lunge, she's got plenty to offer to any team while avoiding overstepping onto the roles of vanilla characters.

The Alchemist by Shay , Alexrkseth, Kenthril, Loki Laufey, and Rothag

The Alchemist is a group project mod that adds a brand new hero to Darkest Dungeon. This hero is completely custom, with all new sprites, skills, sounds, and animations, as well as a complete set of unique trinkets and color palettes.

The Alchemist specializes in draining the life from her opponents to channel into her allies, equally capable of healing or inflicting damage and debuffs. As she deals damage, so does her healing output grow stronger, making her a flexible combatant. Her unique summon abilities, the Homunculus and the Lab Rat, are capable of providing additional support via either guarding her allies or ravaging her enemies.

"The Alchemist, despite her unsettling nature and abominable appendage, finds herself often saving the lives of her comrades. Her research and many experiments have rewarded her with great restorative abilities that can be further empowered through offensive action. In addition, she is accompanied by her lab-grown assistants that fiercely protect her, and whoever she calls an ally."

Week 3: Mod Showcase

[h3]"A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair."[/h3]
We hope you all can remain Stalwart and Vigorous during this time and can find some solace through these mods!

[h3]Here are this weeks mods:[/h3]

The Rightful Heiress by kaxen

Disgusted by the line of suitors claiming to be an improvement to her station in life, the Heiress returned to the cursed family estate with a fire for battle despite her own inexperience. Fortified by wine, she seeks to wade into the nightmare despite the hopelessness of the undertaking.

Heiress is a more offensive version of The Rightful Heir, boasting decent damage and mark proficiency, with few support abilities, while still having a signature ability of heir to collect and store more heirlooms while in a dungeon. Heirloom bonuses increase with the amount of heiresses in the party, and does not conflict with heir's ability, if you run both of them in same party.

The Clobber by anonymous_koala and Sasiji

Clobber is the Weald's guardian, who after years of watching his home be corrupted by the Hag's fungus, brigands, bloodsuckers and pretty much every enemy faction in the game at this point, decided he had enough and is ready to CRUSH the evildoers. Other things included in this mod are 12 new trinkets, a new district, a custom town event, and a new mechanic: chaining together rapid punches until Clobber is exhausted, through his "Punchout" skill!

Week 2: Mod Showcase

[h3]"The abyss returns even the boldest gaze."[/h3]

Here are this weeks mods:


Bits and Pieces; A Monster Trinket Mod by Power

This is a trinket mod called Bits & Pieces, which adds in a whole bunch of rare unique trinkets to a bunch of different enemies, with the trinkets they drop mimicking the stats/abilities/flavor of whatever enemy dropped them. Adds in 28 trinkets so far to 25 enemies, and I'm still planning on adding more trinkets to it, along with doing trinkets for DLC enemies as well later on.

Abyssal Horror Miniboss by Slightly_Seal and Dismas

The Abyssal Horror Miniboss mod is a roaming miniboss that can appear in champion(lv. 5) Cove quests.

There's a town event that occurs once the player has 4 lv 5 heroes and is past week 12. This town event triggers a medium length plot quest in the cove that has a guaranteed encounter with the Abyssal Horror. After completing this quest, the Abyssal Horror has an 8% chance to appear at any champion Cove quest.

A mod army that is!

One of our Discord server moderators presented to us a fun idea to showcase some mods each week on our server. We agreed and decided to take it one step further and share them here as well. The main purpose is to put (usually) lesser known or new mods of all and every kind up on showcase for people to see.
