"The spilling of blood - an offering to the Gods!"

The Hellion is a Hero in Darkest Dungeon II.

Class Description

 * Front Rank
 * High Dmg
 * Bleed
 * Bloodlust

Combat Skills
Note: The Hellion will always start each run equipped with Wicked Hack, Iron Swan, Barbaric Yawp, If it Bleeds, and Toe to Toe. All other skills must be unlocked through the Shrine of Reflection before they may be equipped.

Hellion begins each run with a Condition that increases her damage by 25% when below 50% health, and increases it by a further 25% when below 25% health.

Hellion has several abilities that add or remove Winded, a special token only she can get. Each token of Winded reduces damage by 33% and reduces speed by 3, and can stack up to 3 times. Abilities that remove Winded, such as Bloodlust, will remove all stacks of Winded currently on the character. This is a special token, and as such, is not affected by abilities or combat items that affect Positive or Negative tokens, such as Plague Doctor's Indiscriminate Science or Holy Water.

Shrine of Reflection
The Hellion gains access to 6 abilities over 5 chapters through accessing memories in the Shrine of Reflection.

Chapter One: The Eve of Glory
"I was too young. Too loud... too certain..."

- The Hellion

"She was young to join the warband, but any who challenged her readiness were met with clenched fists and violent indignation. Having bloodied that last of her detractors, the matter was considered finally settled. On the eve battle, she joined her clanmates in raucous celebration, her stein and her spirits overflowing with abundance."

Chapter Two: The Brave
Objective: Prove Yourself! "The invaders came. And with them came countless fears."

- The Hellion

"She was the tip of the spear - poised to sunder the enemy line, to live forever in the songs of her people!"

- The Academic

"Her entire life spent in preparation, but when it had mattered most... she had failed."

- The Academic


 * Unlocks Bloodlust.

Chapter Three: Night in the Woods
"I had no more courage than the buzzards feasting on my failure."

- The Hellion

"As the advancing army moved on, she huddled tightly in the tree's clammy roots, hoping to be somehow swallowed up into the earth. At dawn, she woke tormented by the exuberant cries of carrion crows, come to feast upon the corpses of her kin. When at last she stirred, the scavengers took flight, repulsed by sight of this undeserving revenant."

- The Academic


 * Unlocks Raucous Revelry.

Chapter Four: Shame and Exile
Objective: Apologize to 10 Widows "I had survived and I reminded them of those who had not."

- The Hellion

"She had shunned a warrior's death, and her cowardice would be impugned!"

- The Academic

"They cast her out. An exile - unwelcome, and unsung."

- The Academic


 * Unlocks Breakthrough.

Chapter Five: The Great Emptiness
"It is said that even Death shuns cowards and fools."

- The Hellion

"Alone and untethered, she wandered the countryside fighting for sport, and soaking her wounds in wine. She sought death at every turn, desperate for a second chance to prove her mettle, but it seemed even that terrible wraith that forsaken her. Her isolation was absolute, her shame barely concealed by a fragile façade of fearlessness."

- The Academic


 * Unlocks Adrenaline Rush and Howling End.
