Bounty Hunter (Darkest Dungeon II)

"The thrill of the hunt, the promise of payment!"

The Bounty Hunter is a special Hero in Darkest Dungeon II

Class Description
The Bounty Hunter differs from other Heroes in Darkest Dungeon II. Once unlocked from The Altar of Hope the Bounty Hunter can only be hired at The Inn when his hire poster is shown. Hiring the Bounty Hunter will cost the player 4 Candles of Hope. When hired the Bounty Hunter will replace a Hero of choice from the players party (unless there is only one hero left in the party, in which case he will accompany that hero) and will remain with the expedition until the following Inn. When the player arrives at the next Inn the Bounty Hunter will leave and the original Hero will return. When hired the Bounty Hunter will start with one random positive and negative quirk as well as one random trinket.

The Bounty Hunter has no Hero Paths, but does have a passive called "Professional" instead. This passive allows him a 50% chance to reapply combo when using an ability that consumes the combo token.

The Bounty Hunter can only be hired once per run and cannot be hired at the Inn prior to The Mountain (unless the current confession is Denial, in which case it is possible for him to appear in the last Inn). If the player does not hire the Bounty Hunter at an Inn his poster can possibly appear again at the next Inn (excluding the final Inn, unless as stated before the current confession is Denial).

Combat Skills
🔸 When hired, the Bounty Hunter will always start with Collect Bounty,  Marked For Death,  Come Hither, Caltrops, and Flashbang equipped. Unlike other Heroes who unlock skills through the Shrine of Reflection, his other skills are unlocked by spending candles in The Living City, after which they are permanently unlocked and available for subsequent playthroughs:
 * [[file:Bh skill staredown 100 (1).png|45x45px]] Staredown (8 Candles of Hope.png candles)

Unique Trinkets
🔸Each Hero has their own 3 unique Trinkets, exclusive only to them. All unique Trinkets for Heroes have Indelible rarity. The Bounty Hunters Trinkets cannot be found as loot or purchased like other Hero Trinkets. His Trinkets are found already equipped to him when hired, assuming the trinket is unlocked at the Altar of Hope. It is not a guarantee he will spawn with one of his own Trinkets, he can spawn in with any unlocked Trinket the player has.
