As players begin to explore the skills that are available in Darkest Dungeon 2, they are sure to notice that some of them are enhanced when they are performed against a target with a Combo token. For instance, the Grave Robber skill Pick to the Face gets +50% CRIT when administered to a foe that has said token. However, some fans may be unclear about exactly how to apply Combo in Darkest Dungeon 2, and this guide is here to offer some clarity on the matter.

Darkest Dungeon 2: How to Get Combo Token

To put things quite simply, Darkest Dungeon 2 players that want to put the Combo status effect on their enemies will need to use some specific skills against them. In the majority of cases, the skills that can apply Combo are those that have been upgraded with a Mastery Point, and here is a list of some of the specific skills that can afflict an enemy with the token:

  • Plague Doctor: Blinding Gas (Upgraded) Highwayman: Tracking Shot (Upgraded), Point Blank Shot Man at Arms: Strategic Withdrawal Runaway: Smokescreen (Upgraded) Jester: Razor’s Wit (Upgraded), Fade to Black (Upgraded), Harvest (Upgraded), Solo (Upgraded) Leper: Purge, Bash (Upgraded) Occultist: Abyssal Artillery (Upgraded), Weakening Curse (Upgraded), Daemon’s Pull, The Burning Stars

As can be seen in this list, a player will only have access to a very small number of Combo-applying skills during the early stages of their first playthrough, and each one requires that a Mastery Point be spent. Indeed, all of the other skills that administer the token must either be earned through a Hero Shrine or are attached to one of the unlockable heroes in Darkest Dungeon 2. As such, players are unlikely to get a ton of utility out of the Combo mechanic until they have spent a reasonable amount of time with the game.

Darkest Dungeon 2: How to Use Combo Token

For the sake of completeness, providing a list of skills that receive benefits from Combo seems pertinent. Here is such a list, and roguelite players can find more details on how they are affected by the token when visiting the Inn in Darkest Dungeon 2:

  • Plague Doctor: Noxious Blast (Upgraded), Incision (Upgraded) Grave Robber: Pick to the Face (Upgraded), Thrown Dagger (Upgraded), Poison Dart (Upgraded) Highwayman: Pistol Shot (Upgraded), Grapeshot Blast (Upgraded) Man at Arms: Rampart (Upgraded), Hold the Line (Upgraded) Hellion: Barbaric YAWP! (Upgraded), If It Bleeds (Upgraded) Runaway: Searing Strike (Upgraded), Firefly (Upgraded), Ransack (Upgraded) Jester: Finale Occultist: Blinding Shadows (Upgraded)
