Highwayman

"Illusive. Evasive. Persistent. Righteous traits for a rogue."

- The Narrator

The Highwayman is one of the playable Characters in Darkest Dungeon. He one of the fastest classes in the game and is able to dish out a lot of damage quickly. He can be placed in both the front ranks and rend enemies with his short sword, or he can pursue enemies from the back with his trusty pistol. He has a lower HP value than most classes, but makes up for this with high evasion. With a flintlock in one hand and a dirk in the other, the Highwayman is sure to make short work of his foes.

Abilities
"A rogue, a thug and a thief, the Highwayman has honed his skills with dirk and flintlock to devastating effect. Whether at range or in a melee, he is equally effective at dispatching his foes. Be it a grapeshot area-of-effect, or single target bleed, the Highwayman's skills focus solely on dealing damage in a variety of ways."

- The Guild.

Camping Skills
"The Highwayman relishes cynical preparedness and off-color jokes around the campfire. A life spent running and hiding has taught him the tenuous benefit of perimeter alarms, and late-night investigations into the encroaching shadows."

- The Survivalist.

Weapon and Armor
"The highwayman's reinforced overcoat will dull a knife-strike, but he relies more on evasion than damage mitigation. His flintlock and short sword afford him great versatility; he is never out of position, or caught unawares."

- The Blacksmith.

Barks
"Not but my own blade will find the heart of these monstrosities!"
