Shieldbreaker

"Sever the weakened limb; the protected foe."

The Shieldbreaker is a powerful ally in the fight to reclaim the Estate and banish the evil that squats in the Darkest Dungeon. A highly-tactical hero with solid damage dealing capability, she truly excels when countering monsters with high protection and those who guard their allies. Her movement, speed, and targeted abilities make her a valuable ally for dismantling intractable monster groups. Though relatively low health, the Shieldbreaker is yet highly survivable in short bursts thanks to her Aegis shield.

Combat Abilities
"A sandstorm of grace and fury, the Shieldbreaker dances through the ranks, delivering precision strikes of remarkable power. Sundering armor, breaking enemy formations, and leaving the taste of venom wherever she goes, the Shieldbreaker is a remorseless combatant."

- Guild

It is important to note that the Shieldbreaker seems to have a mandatory night encounter with two Rattlers and a Pilskin, during which she has a 23/r sanity loss for 6 rounds, so consider whether it would be wise to bring her along on quests longer than short. Laudanum does not help in this fight.

Camping Skills
"Though quiet and demure while the fire blazes, the Shieldbreaker is haunted by nightmares of her past. These visions are so powerful that she must vanquish them in the dreamscape or awaken sluggish, tired, and stressed."

- Survivalist

The Shieldbreaker, along with the standard camping skills, has four unique camping abilities. However, nightmares of brutality long since past still haunt her, and to the tormented mind there is no difference between a threat real or imagined...

Equipment
"The Shieldbreaker wields a spear and buckler, affording her impressive offensive reach and a modicum of protection. Her dancer's garb is better suited to the stage than the dungeon; she must be quick to survive."

- Blacksmith

Each Hero has trinkets unique to them that only they can equip. The shieldbreaker has x; x uncommon, 2 Crimson Court and x common, x rare and x very rare. Her normal trinkets are x, and her Crimson Court trinkets are x.
