With the release of theDarkest Dungeon 2Inhuman Bondage DLC comes the arrival of an exciting character known as the Abomination. Fans of the first game will recognize him from that, especially as he shares a lot in common with his previous incarnation. A man who transforms into a beast at will, Abomination is both powerful and versatile.
Building Abomination isn’t too difficult, as you have to choose nine of his 11Darkest Dungeon 2skills. That said, synergy is everything in this game, so those final choices will be important.
Best Path & Skills For Abomination In Darkest Dungeon 2
Shred Enemies With Blight & Bleed
Though Abomination can certainly be played in other team comps,he works excellently with damage over time, so that’s how we’ll be building and playing him. Beast’s Bile is a fantastic Blight skill that hits ranks Plague Doctor can’t, while his Transformed Fiend skills rip through the enemies at all ranks with Bleeds. Indeed, this team comp is better than ever.

Rank 2 & 3 damage over time is highly efficient; corpse clear
