Hellion

"Barbaric rage and unrelenting savagery make for a powerful ally."

- The Ancestor

The Hellion is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon.

Combat Skills
"Wild, unpredictable, and utterly ruthless, the Hellion thrills to the spilling of blood! Her massive glaive affords her impressive reach in combat, while its razor sharp edge leaves lasting wounds on enemies. Certain skills leave her exhausted, however, and she may occasionally need to take a turn to recharge her adrenaline before entering the fray once again."

- Guild

Note: New Hellions will always come with Wicked Hack skilled.

"Exhaustion" debuffs (From Barbaric Yawp, Breakthrough, and Bleed Out) cannot be cleared by Medicinal Herbs.

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

==Camping Skills== "At camp, the Hellion mutters blasphemies and sharpens her blade, eager to put it to use against the enemy hordes. Raucous and untamed, she is a study in contrasts - sitting stoically preparing for battle, or pealing with the unhinged laughter of the damned."

- Survivalist

Equipment
"Crude leather and furs may offer little protection, but the Hellion lives to bear the scars of battle proudly. Her priority is wreaking havoc with her massive glaive and bathing in the blood of her adversaries."

- Blacksmith

Each Hero has Trinkets unique to them that only they can equip. The Hellion has seven; 2 common, 2 Crimson Court and 1 uncommon, rare and very rare. In the base game, her lower level trinkets are pendants and her high level trinkets are hairpins. The Crimson Court DLC adds war paint and the clasp around her waist.
