Exanimate: Increases Blight potency on abilities like Punish and Acid Rain at low health and makes Sepsis into a Blight-detonating heal.

However, it works well with characters like Leper, Grave Robber, or any other party that debuffs themselves. This playstyle can be pretty fun, but it doesn't feel as strong as the other builds. Punish still blights but gains a knockback, Acid Rain weakens instead of inflicting Blight, Lash's Gift heals and steals negative tokens off of your other party members, and Sepsis transfers all negative tokens onto the target in addition to healing.

Maniac: This Path removes much of the Blight from Flagellant's kit and replaces it with debuffs.

He can be Blight, debuff, or even be a weird type of healer. However, he always keeps his identity as a tank who revels in punishment. Each path affects the same handful of abilities but benefits them to vary the core playstyle. The various Paths available to the Flagellant can drastically change his purpose and strengths in a fight. This guide will go over how to bring the Flagellant to that sweet ecstasy he is chasing. He also falls into a more supportive role the further back he gets. He can dominate the front line and absorb all the heat while jumping back to full health quickly. He can also buff the team or even debuff enemies.

His ability to ride Deaths Door like a surfboard (and all the increased benefits of being subjected to a beating) makes him hard to take out. In the case of the Flagellant, he is the most flexible tank in the game. This can vary greatly depending on the Path or Position you put them.

There are a few different roles any of the characters in Darkest Dungeon 2 can bring to each lineup.
