Hound Master in Darkest Dungeon is one of the best options among the support classes. He utilizes his trusty hound to perform powerful attacks and buff allies. The general strategy for using this hero is to place him in the back lines to support the teammates as well as inflict crowd control debuffs on the enemies.
Hound Master is only available in the game's original version. Although the hero is very popular among the community, Hound Master is currently unavailable in Darkest Dungeon II. In this article, we have compiled the stats, skills, story, and strategies of the hero and will present reasons why the Hound Master could be a great addition to the sequel.
According to the official in-game lore, Hound Master was a man of law. But despite his external toughness and background, he is surprisingly compassionate. There is not much information offered in the game about the past of the Hound Master, and why he left the life of a lawman. It is heavily implied that he is extremely close to his Wolfhound and they rely on each other in fights and life.
This dynamic duo lurks in the back lines of the party and provides constant support. Hound Masters’ skills are extremely effective in bestowing debuffs like bleeds and stuns on the enemy. The Woldhound can also help the allies relieve their stress and stay on guard while the teammates take rest.
