Darkest Dungeon: Hero classes - Introduction Darkest Dungeon Guide

The heroes are the main element in the game. Each hired hero is permanently assigned to one of the classes, which will define his role in the party. Some of the classes will do better in the front of the team while others will fit perfectly in the back. The front should be taken by the stronger fighters where they will be able to protect the, usually weaker, half in the back. The latter may not deal a hefty amount of damage but their healing abilities or buffs will definitely be of a great help to the whole team. Nevertheless, most of the classes are not strictly limited and they can be adjusted to fit to most of the positions. This can be done by shuffling their skills in a way so that they will be the best in comparison to the rest of the team. Through this way, a melee dagger based rogue can be transformed into a ranged pistol shooter.

As for today, there are 10 classes available, but there will be more in the future.
