Grave Robber Guide - Darkest Dungeon

The Grave Robber is a versatile and nimble combatant, moving back and forth through the ranks with ease. She strikes without warning and retreats to the shadows, continuing her assault at range.

If her throwing daggers and poison darts aren't getting the job done, she can return to the melee, buffed and slinging her pickaxe!

Tips

The grave robber is a very versatile hero who can work well in the majority of groups.

She's pretty good in mark groups or in groups that focus on blight. Although it's less her strength, she can also support heroes with bleeding skills.

It is not mandatory but she can also be very agile, using her skills that move forward or backward.

She is particularly evasive once her dodge buff is applied.

A good build

• Pick to the Face
• Flashing Daggers
• Poison Dart
• Toxin Trickery

Allows you to attack all ranks, pierce armor and become very evasive.

An alternative

• Lunge
• Shadow Fade
• Pick to the Face
• Thrown Dagger

Allows you to attack all ranks, pierce armor and use the very powerful Lunge skill.

Make sure, however, that the rest of the group is able to work with being moved around because with its two-row advance, Lunge will break your party composition.

Skills

Pick to the Face

(85% damage | 5% crit)

Lunge

(140% damage | 12% crit)

An attack that does a lot of damage but that makes the grave robber move two ranks forward.

Flashing Daggers

An attack that deals damage to two targets in the center. It also gives a debuff to bleed resist.

Shadow Fade

A bonus that drastically increases the offense and defense of the grave robber until her next attack. She also moves back two ranks.

Thrown Dagger

(90% damage | 12% crit)

An attack that deals 40% more damage against marked enemies, and 33% more damage against blighted enemies. It also gives a +10 precision bonus to the grave robber for the next rounds.

Poison Dart
