Description

Features:
  • Two New Playable heroes: The Duelist & The Crusader
  • Both new heroes are complete with unique trinkets, signature items, and fully voiced backstories including playable flashback encounters
  • New Roaming mini-boss: The Warlord

The Duelist is a disciplined and deadly combatant who can tactically switch between Defensive and Aggressive stances. A formidable presence in any lineup, she is able to ignore enemy defenses, and strike back with Riposte. Her pursuit of perfection means she will demand the best of her team and command them to victory by wiping out cooldown times and providing both offensive and defensive buffs. The Duelist is able to move between ranks with ease, attacking from both the front and back ranks, dispatching her enemies with ruthless efficiency.

The Crusader has returned! This battle hardened knight is fueled by a radiant Holy fire and will Smite his foes where they stand. The Crusader is a well rounded front rank hero who can withstand punishing blows, support his team with healing and stress recovery, and rend his opponents with his righteous blade.

$10 bucks for two heroes and not much else. The quest for the Crusader has almost zero content to it. At least the DLC with the Abomination had a new area to explore.

Darkest Dungeon II: The Binding Blade Recycled and Dishonest Paid DLC Not worth getting! The Blinding Blade is an uninspired expansion that brings back the Crusader, along with a new hero called the Duelist. Personally,
