The answer is always and forever use Manacles. Nothing but Manacles. Just Manacles. Except when the situation for his Blight comes up, he needs to self heal, or you need to press the Abom Button and nuke something down.

If we ever get Abomination in DD2, I think it would be really cool to tie his transformation into melting down, kinda like how Flag gets "Toxic" instead. Id like to see at least one more hero play around the concept of intentionally melting down and dealing with the relationship fallout that comes with it.

Shuffle with a new Darkest Dungeon vid 🙏 My favorite team to run: Occultist, Abom, Grave Robber, Bounty Hunter. I never transform Abom into the Beast. He's controls the battle with Occultist. The game names the team "Bad Karma" if you switch Abom and Grave robber places. I don't like to have GR moves to 1st after using Lunge. Still a cool name though.

Great video, love your DD character guides! Small correction tho, Slam from Rank 4 is also not a thing in Butcher's Circus too! If Abom happens to be in that position due to a push, the player is forced to transform for the stress and just move forward.

Vanilla Darkest Dungeon players hate broken key. We got punished for no reason despite not having DLC. I don't understand why Red Hook couldn't just add stun downside only when you instal DLC instead of hard coded to entire game. Also yeah broken key is very busted trinket, it's game changer. The difference how strong character with it is day and night

Shuffle, you might not remember my comments, but a year or so ago I was a complete noob that found your content. I have never watched a singular Hero Guide of yours, but I watched enough more generalized guides to beat the game and really enjoy it. I think of all the heroes, Abomination is my absolute favorite. I haven't even watched this video yet, and I already know how dope Manacle is. Decent reach, great stuns, fine enough damage. He can self heal and manage his own stress, great for stalling and recovering after a fight. The blight move is alright if the situation for it comes up. Very few times have I found the need to press the Abom Button, but when you NEED damage or somebody's going to die, if the team is built to handle him he will shred relentlessly. He was my first Unique unit and my first Level 6. I swear by him so hard.

One team works well for me is from left to right: Crusader Houndmaster Abom Occultist What makes the team work so great is that it works no matter what you want to do with abom. If you want to transform you have more then enough stress heal to not care, and if you think transforming is unnecessary you can just put him on stun duty and let every one else focus on damage. It is a team that requires me to think ahaid a lot more then usually and ut us somewhat weak in prolonged fights but it us shockingly versatile.

I actually had some good runs using an Abomination and plague doctor and Shield Bearer and utilizing those damage over time and stun effects to great success. I was forcing myself to use different team strategies and groups, and found this particular setup to work quite well. The front slot was either heavy precision damage, or buff/tank iirc. That said, Ive still never finished this game, lol. So take my comments with a grain of salt (as you should for ALL internet opinions)

Human form Abomination is fine and all but as far as stun bots go there are better choices and in Human form that's mostly what he's good for. Beast form would have been better if all his skills ramped up rather than just Rake, as in giving the Abomination a smaller damage buff than 25% but making it generic and for all his skills, so say 5% on each, that way the Abomination can still ramp up his damage while not being locked to just using Rake, which in itself requires 3 whole turns to finally see some benefit in terms of single target damage. As it stands though, I can see transformed Abomination being very strong in long fights against tough bosses, if the boss remains in range of Rake or if your other party members can drag the boss into range consistently. The main difference is in the preparation for said boss fight, with the camping skills focusing more on stress reduction to not be forced to lose tempo during the fight itself without risking getting afflicted. Is this a winning strategy? Hard to say considering Leper requires much less work to get going, thus lowering the opportunity cost of building for the Abomination which makes the rest of the party stronger, but still requires setup of his own. In long fights the Abomination will absolutely out-scale the Leper if he can consistently just spam Rake however the Leper actually does offer flexibility if that isn't the best option in a given turn. Than you have other strategies like marks, DoTs, etc, which tend to be more consistent than either the Abomination or Leper and are generally the preferred boss killing methods.

Great video! I usually keep only 1 Abomination in my roster, mostly for the sake of variety. Pretty silly that the best way to play a transforming character... is to keep him in his regular form and have him slap things with chains. Are there any good rework/rebalance mods that give him more options, but don't completely change the character? Could be a nice change of pace in new DD1 campaign.
