The Salamander Class Mod

"A marvel of technology! An engine of destruction!"

The Salamander is an all new class mod for Darkest Dungeon based on an original design by S-Purple. An accomplished mercenary from a distant land who has specialized in bodily modification, the Salamander is a nimble but fragile damage dealer, featuring powerful attacks, shuffles, and bleeds. Her powerful flame abilities come with a risk of backfiring on her, damaging her frail body beneath her armor. She has fully original assets, including sprites, animations, and sounds.

"A grim fusion of metal and flesh, the Salamander has become a living war machine. Through use of her flamethrower, she can inflict devastating albeit unstable area attacks on her enemies, or nimbly jump to and fro with her prosthetic claws, wreaking havoc on the enemy’s formation!"
