It’s a whole new dungeon, set of ruined opulence and corruption, complete with an “aristocracy as bloodsucking vampires” theme (a message I can get behind). The titular Crimson Court is present in the form of an all-new area to explore. There is a dark imagination at the core of The Crimson Court an admirable (if somewhat disturbing) dedication to finding new ways to twist the knife. It finds fiendishly original methods of ratcheting up the pressure as you juggle the physical and mental health of your heroes, along with the management of the Hamlet. It warps familiar mechanics in new and unexpected ways. It takes the building blocks of the dungeon you know and stacks new, bizarre architectural tortures on top of them. 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”.But, while all of these additions represented incremental improvements, The Crimson Court represents a sea change. “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". Vestal – Grave Robber – Houndmaster – Hellion 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. 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.
