Just to be clear, you made a character whose speed ensures that he acts at the end of the turn and deals bonus damage off stun (meaning he basically can't make use of his own combo) and to balance that out you added a night raid boss who gets a free party-wide shuffle AND a free party-wide stun AND attacks three times AND can self-heal AND requires you to consistently attack rows 3 and four just so you can START to deal damage to it?

I wouldn't put up with this boss to play the Highwayman. What makes you think I'd do it for bogatyr?

There is literally no viable strategy because the boss has a counter for every single possibility.

High damage? It's got 100% damage negation you need to debuff but since it has 3 attacks per turn, it can lose this fast, so gotta reapply quick. Better hope your entire team is able to hit the front and back rows from ANY position.

Going the DOT? It has high resistances, can mass stun, and will mass stumble, disrupting any flow. And he can heal off the DOT.

I understand the whole point of needing to learn a boss fight. You might not know what the gimmick is ahead of time, so you prepare, and take a chance on what might work. All the main game bosses are like this. No one KNEW the Prophet was hidden behind 3 rows of wreckage when first playing the game.

But you know what the difference is between the mad prophet and this? Even with a bad party that doesn't mesh well with the boss's gimmick, you still have a GOOD CHANCE with some careful planning and a pinch of luck.

Отдельный респект от русских

太弱了

Oh that's just what I need. Why would I ever put this bad luck charm on a team? You say the Phylactery can be fought on any difficulty, no it fucking can't. In Easy dungeons it gets 3 turns, and in between you gotta hit a stupid rock to do any damage to it while it's pulverizing you? Get the fuck outta here, I'd be doing short missions with him until I'm ready to bring him along on medium or long. Cool concept. Don't need that trash in my life.

Is there a way to play the old bogatyr; the one where you build up stun chance then cash in with the aoe stun ? I liked that one a lot

The hero himself is very cool, but the fight with the boss, especially at low levels, is simply ungodly, you should be ashamed that your hands did something like this.

I really want to like The Bogatyr, it's a very cool concept with great art to go with it. Unfortunately I think the character is hamstrung by being tied to the Stun mechanic as part of his combo, Stun being the most unreliable and finnicky of DD status effects. I know my opinion probably doesn't mean much, just my two cents.

Huge fan of this class , do you plan on port him to BR ?

Nice.

damn, he actually have 2 trinkets for stuns, im sorre boss, please dont make me do 4 lv0 heroes dd run

I really like this mod, please add Chinese translation,

im the only one who never had problem with boss?
like really,bogatyr having a perfect kit to deal with this thing,also not placing torchlight on 0 level
the only problem i have is that he have small damage(would be good to add 1-2 points) and strange trinkets(NO STUN TRINKETS FOR STUN CHARACTER,WHAT AN IRONY)
also after you beat boss, would be good to see what path from stone can do

Bogatyr fits the BEST on my team.
great second healer that giving buffs and stun.

强度很低，不如原版角色，萌新慎重

4/10 Mod
- Has an incredible design and so much charm in how he portraits winter
- The gameplay of this character its... Strange, so his main gimmick its Stun and Low speed in enemys to gain more damage but it just doesnt work at all, this combo its so hard to do and the damage of the "COMBO" its so poor and mediocre
- The other abillities are very helpful in combat, good healing, buff speed, give stun chance, etc
- AND THE WORST PART OF THE MOD OVER ALL, ITS THE DAMN BOSS. Its just so ridicolous how he spawn in level 2 dungeons, has 3 turns, and almost invencible armor,
The chracacter overall fits so well like a Stress healer tank and defender with his stuns an buffs but the balance is so BAD OMG

Outside from boss hate and good visual design, why would anyone think this is a good character? 🤔

I feel like his only good ability is AOE heal, it is strong. Which is... idk, just a bad idea? He might as well be a cook, not a strong sword-wielding guy.

His main gimmick of being a stun character feels so underwhelming. His stun buffs\combo almost never works. And having a strong heal disrupts his combo patterns, as often I would just prefer to use it instead.

He requires some sort of very specific stun heavy party for his stuns\buffs to be useful... and I just can't imagine that sort of party to be good or reliable or fun. Otherwise, he feels like a really weak fighter, which is weird considering his appearance

And then he has that boss fight, where the boss isn't weak to stuns (having 3 turns per round) and basically requiring yet another specific type of party, just crazy

Got this mod from a modpack expanding the game, so far this is the only character I rly want to remove

设计很好，但过于保守，站位问题很明显，不方便配队

For anybody who hates boss

just edit koschei_A.info.darkest in mod folder and do so with B and C

I really did enjoy having guaranted party kill due to not having consistent way to attack both a boss and a stone

I agree. Honestly, I really love the design of this class and considering using it again but I'm not really sure atm.
Last time when I ranted was the first time I used a bogatyr and not knowing how the whole thing works (OK, not reading the flashback warning is on me) I got kinda surprised during camping.
Tried out a meme comp based on a 'puller' at the back and stunners at the front and suddenly had this boss with a comp where 2 guys couldn't hit behind rank 2 and 2 could only do it from specific positions. So wanted to flee which was apparently not an option.
I'm willing to use Bogatyr and undertake this challenge if either the number of encounters is finite, so you can get over them and enjoy the class just like with shieldbearer or if at least you can escape if you wanna. Can manage the stress afterwards.

HAHAHAHA. i came here to be like "man, i love that the bogatyr is a back-line tank/healer/support hybrid. i wish i could use him because the nightmare fight can just brick you in bloodmoon" but it looks like im not the only one. a party wide stun is fine. DOT healing on a boss with 3 moves per turn (multiple turn enemies are weak to DOTs) is fine. mass stress and shuffling is fine. the gimmick is fun. but all put together, it feels like a boss thats designed to not have any weaknesses and give even a prepared, specific to this encounter party a really hard time. and in a game where people kind of DONT want to study a boss fight they havent even seen yet because thats why this game is fun, thats just a horrible, horrible time.
being like "just bring 2-3 range AOE's" is great and all, but do you think a player is going to know that?
the dwimmerlaik is another boss that has this same problem imo. i know its rich to tell darkest dungeon mods to try and be balanced, but let a man dream.

W348, you're totally right

Man.
The class itself is awesome, what a frontline vestal should have been with some added stun flavor.
The character itself, I loved.
But the nightmare is just retarded. You can do it if you know the char and bring a perfect comp not for the dungeon but to have an edge over the nightmare. People trying out new stuff with mods won't read wikis and learn everything beforehand, they wanna learn while experiencing the fun of the new stuff.
Stunny Santa Claus boy is 5 stars.
Bs monster with 3 actions, constant shuffle, aoe stuns, aoe stress etc is not.
And. Why. Can't. You. Retreat. From. The. Fight.
1 star.

Looks like Denter rage quitted

Perfect ruins run was ruined because of your unability to make balanced bosses.

There is way how to get out of the bossfight, though. If you completely get wrecked, just exit to main menu and disable bogatyr mod. The character of Bogatyr will disappear but the fight will too.

This asshole just spams sigil attacks causing enormous amount of stress, I can do no shit to him.

Dude... you were so fucked up when you were creating the Phylactery.

Class is great, but the flashback boss fight is not as trivial as it would seem. Since it looks like the boss won't be nerfed (considering how old are comments asking for it), I strongly recommend keeping track of wheather the boss has a chance to appear in the run and prep for it.

short guide
one of bosses actions can heal DOTs so DOT damage is not the ultimate way of dealing with it, another one makes whole party stumble so be ready for hero postitioning, lastly be ready waste some turns to hit a debuffing stone from time to time (any AOE is fine for the job)

Me causally fighting the phylactery while having Broken Vessel in the background

@Gingerbead
I recommend having some stun resist on party members and a Arbalist or the stress heal on the bogatyr as those clear stuns.

Real cool class absolutely ruined by the nightmare mechanic
Class is great, love the guy even if he is a bit weak he's tonnes of fun

The nightmare?
Has health comparable to the swine king, with 100% damage resistance (hit the stone in slot 4, gives him a debuff to take more damage)
But he has three actions a turn so that debuff barely lasts

He has a single target nuke
He has a party wide stun and a party wide shuffle debuff
He will obliterate almost every team comp due to those stuns, shuffles, and high damage slaps happening every turn. People will constantly be pulled out of position so it's RNG if you get to use heal or AOE, or if the people you need are stunned

Main problem is since it works like the shieldbreaker nightmare, you cant retreat if its not going well
Putting this boss in a no retreat scenario is absurd, Unless the bogatyr gets on death's door, he will kill multiple of your party members since there's no way to back out. I cant stress enough how terrible that feels

big bro just healed the siren for like 750 hp total amazing class 10/10

这boos做的就是一坨屎

I got the phylactery on my third mission and lost. Is there a way to get this class without that thing. It's super OP and made me loose my run I was having a good start. If not I might have to uninstall for that boss isn't balanced. Bro got like 100 health and do much prot even with the debuff your still only doing 1-4 damage.

The Boss needs to be beaten three times, once on each dungeon difficulty (apprentice, Veteran, and champion) but will never spawn again on said difficulties once beaten. And you'll get additional buffs (And I think are impervious to nighttime ambushes) once you beat it.

Does one have to beat the phylactery so it does not show up again? Or does it only show up three times?

DLC trinkets would be awsome <3

I REALLY wish he was in Black Reliquary rn

明明看着像个T的个头，但实际上最有用的技能只有他的群疗，其他技能要么命中太低，要么伤害太低，要么命中以后debuff施加的几率太低，总之是个花瓶角色，看着挺好看，不中用。

огонь работа !! так держать !

Don't you think that the Bogatyr should be religious, since his virtue pose is as an Orthodox icon? And there are so few religious characters in the base game, he would add more value and flavour.

Please can you explain to me why you decided to change Besiege to be usable only from rank 4 and 3. I have to say I dislike this change. You could have boosted his poor stress heal in exchange at least.

Will there be a BR patch for this fella?

How are people complaining about the boss? Just hitting the stone completely negs him lmao

很精良的mod角色，可惜机制和数值甚至放在原版都不太好用

Tip for anyone having problems with the flashback boss. Hit the rock behind it.
that what gives the boss it's damage reduction buff and every hit adds a damage taken debuff to hit. so Aoe hits are best even if they have low damage the rock takes non anyway but each hit adds 25% ti the increased damage

daam is soo coool and i wana ask abut korean sup pls~

Great Character, god awful boss.

Really ruins the fun part to be honest. Should've made it able for your party to retreat after an x number of turns because of the god awful resistances that the boss have.
