Steam Workshop Mod: Darkest Dungeon Virtue Rate

In Darkest Dungeon, virtue is a crucial aspect of managing your heroes' mental and physical well-being. The latest Steam workshop mod, 'Darkest Dungeon Virtue Rate', offers a unique take on this mechanic by introducing new abilities and strategies for players to experiment with.

The mod adds a new item called 'Marks of The Sleeper' which can be obtained in exchange for the cost of your heroes' health. These marks grant the player 2 additional marks, stacking up to a maximum of 6. This item is particularly useful during battles as it provides an opportunity to foresee the future and gain scout chance and surprise chance against enemies.

Moreover, this mod allows players to prevent nighttime ambushes and grants a full party bleed and blight duration buff for four battles. The Astronomer, a new hero introduced by this mod, has access to common camp skills such as increased damage against poisoned, bleeding, and size 2 enemies.

The Astronomer's abilities are centered around his dashing forward technique, which creates a whirlwind that breaks the air into crystal, fire, and dust. This grants him riposte while also pulling the target towards him. The crystals then explode from his palm, corrupting the ground around the enemy and ultimately poisoning it.

In addition to these abilities, the Astronomer can invoke unknown forces, allowing him to fight back for himself or an ally with a small chance of gaining a block stack. He can also perfect the Shard Dust formula, infusing allies or himself with otherworldly power at a reduced stress cost.

The mod's pièce de résistance is the seal from the stars ability, which confuses enemies, shuffling them while leaving them marked and weakened. The Astronomer's usual position is around middle, where he can deal significant bleed damage with his basic attacks. He is also a team fighter, granting allies increased bleed and blight duration, riposte, and chance to block.

One of the Astronomer's unique abilities is his fast and calculated slash that rends even the hardest surfaces while sending him backwards. This ability has an added bonus of having a hidden flat crit chance against husks.

Overall, 'Darkest Dungeon Virtue Rate' mod offers players a fresh take on the game's mechanics, allowing for new strategies and playstyles to emerge. With its unique abilities and buffs, this mod is sure to provide hours of entertainment for fans of Darkest Dungeon.
