The Jester in Darkest Dungeon is one of the most versatile heroes. He can be placed anywhere in the party and he will always bring something to the table. If you are lacking damage, you can place him in the front and he will dish out massive damage while meeting a glorious death. You can also put him at the end and he will make sure the party’s journey is a heroic one.
The Jester is a fan favorite in terms of design and aesthetics. His maniacal grin, cynical nature, and overall touch of insanity make him stand out from the other heroes in the game. It is truly unfortunate that he didn’t get to make his appearance in the sequel, Darkest Dungeon II. In this article, we will go through the Jester’s story, stats, skills, and strategies.
The Jester has relatively the most ambiguous backstory among all the other heroes. The official description of the character in the game only offers a very limited view of his past and motivations, but he is described as a “manical minstrel” who has “several tricks” up his sleeve.
The Jester uses a sharp sickle as his weapon and a lute to inspire his allies. The most unique aspect of the Jester is his ability to hop positions with other teammates. This ability is very crucial to his playstyle because although he can dish out good damage, he is also very squishy and can be killed easily if opponents focus on him.
Other than damage, the Jester also offers two incredible support skills. He can inflict the bleed debuff on the enemies and reduce the stress levels of his allies by playing the lute. He also has some incredible camp skills that allow him to buff his teammates as well as reduce their stress levels in upcoming fights.
