I would recommend this to more experienced players who like to end fights quickly and bring lots of torches to minimise party stress. Another thing you will need to keep an eye on is the passive stress your party will acquire when the abomination is in beast form, especially since this party has no stress healing. It will be a little harder to manage than the last as its members will be swapping places a lot, especially the Abomination and the Grave Robber. This party is not for the faint of heart. The original Four Horsemen team uses a Plague Doctor instead of The Vestal. This team's primary focus will be on inflicting damage and damage over time to get quick kills and minimise retaliation. This team is very similar to The Four Horsemen composition, hence the nickname I have given it. 'A moment of valour shines brightest against a backdrop of despair.' Position 4: A Grave Robber with Thrown Dagger, Lunge, Pick to the Face and Shadow Fade. Position 3: A Vestal using Divine Grace, Divine Comfort, Judgement and Dazzling Light. Position 2: A Abomination (You can't change this character’s move set). Position 1: A Helion equipped with Wicked Hack, Let it Bleed, Barbaric Yawp and Iron Swan. Weak in warrens where enemies have high blight resistance.Great for ruins where the Crusader will be dealing extra damage and blight is effective.A high number of stun moves are available.One significant thing to note is that you will want to use duellists advance on your Highwayman at the start of every fight to activate his riposte and put him in his ideal position, position two. Their ability to put out damage over time provides an excellent counter to high protection stat enemies. Finally, the Plague Doctor is the group debuffer and backup healer if the Vestal gets overwhelmed. His move set is solely designed to deal damage. The Vestal is the team's healer as she comes equipped with a solo and a party heal in her arsenal. He can soak up a fair amount of damage and put out decent damage of his own, making him the group tank. The classes are all very straightforward with uncomplicated roles. It's easy to see why this is considered a beginner team. This Plague Doctor is ready to give the dungeon some medicine. Position 4: The Plague Doctor will be equipped with Battlefield Medicine, Noxious Blast, Plague Grenade, and Blinding Gas. Position 3: The Highwayman's move set will be Pistol Shot, Point-blank Shot, Duellists Advance and Open Vein. Position 2: A Vestal, equipped with Judgement, Dazzling Light, Divine Grace and Divine Comfort. Position 1: A Crusader equipped Smite, Stunning Blow, Holy Lance and Inspiring Cry. This team looks ready for action and soon you will be too.
