DD2 Jester Skills
Gives Jester 4 new skills inspired by his new skills in Darkest Dungeon 2:
Fade to Black: Back 1, full damage, debuffs target ACC.
Play Out: Moves target ally Back 2 and buffs their PROT.
Encore: Grants target ally an extra turn at the cost of bleeding them and stunning self. Can’t be upgraded.
Echoing March: Pulls 3. (That’s all it does. It doesn’t need more imo.)
Also tweaks some of Jester’s pre-existing skills (again, based on their appearance in DD2):
Dirk Stab: Marks target.
Slice Off: Debuffs target damage taken.
Battle Ballad: Moves target ally Forward 2 and buffs their DMG but not SPD.
Inspiring Tune: Clears Horror. (This is probably not a big deal unless you’re playing Farmstead Plus.)
Harvest: Chance to mark.
Finale: Higher base damage and DMG vs Marked, but stuns self and isn’t buffed by other skills. (An alternate version of this mod, with normal DD1 Finale, is available here.)
Solo: Marks one target enemy instead of self.
A few remarks:
Compared to vanilla DD1 Jester, this version is a bit more debuff-based, and Finale is more of a panic button than an actual "finale".
As normal, he’s best as either a backline dancer, though he can do okay dancing between ranks 1 and 2, too.
My favorite change is the Buff Ballad rework. Being able to move other heroes can lead to some creative strategies, and normal Battle Ballad is sort of a "spam this to win" button.
Lastly, you might be wondering what happened to the old "Extra Jester Skills" mod. This is a remake of it. If you want to see the old version, you can check Skymods or ask RoyPsich for it (who has been uploading my deleted mods, which I’m fine with.
