During camp, the Houndmaster can prevent ambushes with “Hound’s Watch” and Grave Robber can cure diseases (which are prevalent in the Warrens) with “Snuff Box”. “Adrenaline Rush” can also be used to remove blight and buff Hellion’s offense. Hellion is very flexible in this comp and can help focus the backline with “Iron Swan”, stack more bleeding with “If It Bleeds” or handle the frontline with “Wicked Hack”. If needed, he can also use “Guard Dog” to protect one of his companions. The Houndmaster is very valuable in the Warrens as he does extra damage to beasts and is very good at making enemies bleed. Vestal will focus on healing and Grave Robber on killing “Swine Wretch' with 'Thrown Dagger'.

During camp, Occultists can prevent ambushes with “Unspeakable Commune”, and Jesters can lower stress with “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. If transforming is not a good option for certain fights, Abomination can use “Beast Bile” since blight works well in the Cove. The Jester’s main job is to reduce the stress caused by the transformation. One of the best stress healing abilities in the game, Inspiring Tune can be near invaluable on longer Dungeon Runs, as a way of preventing stress states.

The Abomination will do most of the damage by transforming and using “Rake” and “Rage”. The Man-at-arms and the Occultist will work similarly to the best party composition for the Weald.
