·Multi-source verified (85/85)

Combat in Darkest Dungeon II is turn-based and heavily relies on a token system. Tokens are temporary buffs (e.g., Dodge, Block, Crit) or debuffs (e.g., Vulnerable, Weak, Blind) applied to heroes and enemies. Understanding and manipulating these tokens is key to victory. Each hero has a unique set of skills, some of which apply or remove tokens. Experiment with different skill combinations and hero positions to maximize their effectiveness. Prioritize targets that pose the greatest threat or apply debilitating tokens to your party.
