Houndmaster (Butcher's Circus)

Combat Skills
(All buffs and debuffs last for 3 rounds unless otherwise specified.)

Tactical Analysis
The Houndmaster has access to Hound's Harry, a powerful move which inflicts party-wide bleed and stress from any position. Downsides, however, include its poor accuracy, which can be mitigated through trinkets such as the Attack Whistle.

The ability Target Whistle is effective against targets with high protection. The bleed which Hound's Rush and Hound's Harry inflict is also helpful, bypassing a target's protection and dwindling down their health.

The move Guard Dog, when used in conjunction with the Padded Armguard, can raise dodge to absurd levels. Meanwhile, the resistances to stress and debuffs hard counter stress compositions, which rely on both to gain the upper hand.
