The Fafnir Knight (Class Mod)

Hello. I love Darkest Dungeon and the Etrian Odyssey games, so I decided to make a class mod of the Fafnir Knight from Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. His appearance, playstyle and skills in this mod have been modified to fit the theme and balancing of Darkest Dungeon. This character is not meant to make the game easier, and he should be used strategically alongside the other DD heroes.

This is my first attempt at making a DD mod, so if you encounter any bugs (and you’re certain they’re being caused by my mod), please let me know on this page. Feel free to translate this mod, and with permission I will add any translations made. DLC is not required to use this mod, and when using DLC the respective trinket/s will be automatically enabled.

My good friend, who helped playtest this mod.

Adon, for doing a fantastic job on the artwork and helping to create amazing mods for me and the rest of the DD community.

Kaze*, ZIMIK, and everyone else who helped create the amazing Xiao Class Mod. It was my main inspiration for bringing my favorite character from a rather niche game into DD.
