The highwayman's reinforced overcoat will dull a knife-strike, but he relies more on evasion than damage mitigation. Open Vein is his only option as it applies bleed, but it restricts itself to the front two enemy positions. However, while he's great at dealing raw damage, it's also the only thing he can do, and he suffers against enemies with high PROT. With enough buffing effects stacked on, the Highwayman becomes a great source of ranged damage, with or without landing critical hits. While he lacks the Grave Robber's ability to raise his own DODGE to incredible rates, his own trinkets and Camping skills often raise his raw damage. Much like the Grave Robber, the Highwayman has a below-average health pool, but an above-average DODGE stat. Regardless, the Highwayman is at home in a party filled with movement attacks. Others choose to field two Highwaymen at the same time, having them alternate Duelist's Advance to shuffle between positions 2 and 3, which maintains their Riposte status and allows for massive counterattack damage against bosses that hit the entire party at once. Some players choose to combine both movement skills, sliding the Highwayman back and forth between positions 1 and 2 while laying punishment to the enemy position 1.
Grapeshot Blast offers the ability to do area damage, but at the cost of reduced accuracy and damage, while Tracking Shot exchanges raw damage for breaking Stealth and applying a long-lasting buff. He has a couple of useful movement skills at his disposal - Duelist's Advance pushes him forward from position 4 and triggers Riposte, while Point-Blank Shot offers amazing damage at position 1 while shuffling him backwards into his more comfortable positions. The Highwayman is a straightforward hero to use - all his abilities deal damage, and between his standard Pistol Shot and Wicked Slice, he has the ability to strike anywhere in the enemy formation from positions 2 or 3. "Just keep your blade sharp and musket loaded. The Highwayman's unique camping skills are primarily self-focused, with powerful but costly buffs for either ranged or melee abilities, but he does have ambush prevention, and a chance to heal a significant amount of stress for the whole party. Any Buffs or lasting effects given from a camping skill lasts for 4 battles. Only 4 of these can be equipped at one time. Most heroes have three shared camping skills and all heroes have 4 unique camping skills (with the Flagellant being the exception, having only unique camping skills). They take a certain number of "respite" points to use, and can only be used once per camp (unless the skill says otherwise). A life spent running and hiding has taught him the tenuous benefit of perimeter alarms, and late-night investigations into the encroaching shadows.Ĭamping skills are special skills heroes can use while they are camping. The Highwayman relishes cynical preparedness and off-color jokes around the campfire.

* Highwayman's Riposte has a base ACC of 85, and a CRIT mod of +5%. (All buffs and debuffs last for 3 rounds unless otherwise specified.) Note: New Highwaymen will always come with the Pistol Shot skill. Be it a grapeshot area-of-effect, or single target bleed, the Highwayman's skills focus solely on dealing damage in a variety of ways. Whether at range or in a melee, he is equally effective at dispatching his foes. With a flintlock in one hand and a dirk in the other, the Highwayman is sure to make short work of his foes.Ī rogue, a thug and a thief, the Highwayman has honed his skills with dirk and flintlock to devastating effect. But for what the Highwayman lacks in tact he makes up in unparalleled finesse. If he must interact with others it'll be with his dark sense of humor, which might upset some. He'll spend his time performing maintenance on his weaponry, practicing his blade-work or setting up alarms to keep himself safe during the night.
When night falls and all of his allies are settled around a campfire, the Highwayman is preparing for what dangers await. He has a lower HP value than most classes, but makes up for this with high evasion. He can be placed in both the front ranks and rend enemies with his short sword, or he can pursue enemies from the back with his trusty pistol. A bandit seeking redemption on an old road, the Highwayman is one of the fastest classes in the game and is able to dish out a lot of damage quickly.
