Grapeshot blast is a ranged skill that can be used from any of the back three positions and hits both of the front enemy positions with a low damage aoe attack. Skill Seven – Grapeshot Blast: The next unlockable ability for the Highwayman is grapeshot blast. Upgrading this skill with a mastery point increases the damage and crit as usual, but, notably, most of the additional damage comes on the bottom end of the attack, making the damage much more consistent. This skill also moves the highwayman back a position as long as he is not rooted at the time, making it a perfect follow-up after a position two duelist’s advance. Using this skill will deal high damage to the target, knock it back one position, and leave it with a combo token. Point blank shot can only be used from the front position and only hits the front rank enemy. Skill Six – Point Blank Shot: The Highwayman’s sixth skill is Point Blank Shot, one of my favorite moves from the first game.

You’ll need to visit and complete Shrines of Reflection to gain access to these skills. Unlockable Skills: Now we are on to the skills that start out locked. Adding a mastery point to Take Aim causes the skill to give you an additional crit token as well as a speed token, ensuring your highwayman will go earlier in the next round’s turn order. The crit token ensures his next attack will crit if it lands whereas the dodge token gives him a 50% chance for the next attack against him to miss. Take aim can be used from any position to remove blind from the highwayman as well as adding a crit token and a dodge token. Skill Five – Take Aim: Next we have the Highwayman’s fifth skill, Take aim. Yes, upgraded Tracking Shot can ignore stealth, but it just isn’t enough to warrant ever taking this skill or wasting a mastery point on it in its current state. As it is, any skill can remove a dodge token from the enemy, so, using something like Pistol Shot on an enemy with a dodge token will not only remove the dodge token, but have a 50% chance to also cause damage. Unfortunately, this is currently one of the worst skills in the game and I think it will get some sort of update. Using a mastery point here will make Tracking Shot remove stealth as well as leave a combo token on the target. You can also use this skill even if the enemy is stealthed. This skill requires the target to have a dodge token and will remove that token on use. Tracking shot can be used from any position but can only hit the back three positions of the enemy. Skill Four – Tracking Shot: The fourth skill for the Highwayman is tracking shot. Upgrading Duelist’s advance will increase its damage and crit chance, cause it to award three riposte tokens instead of two, and give the highwayman a dodge token, causing the next attack against him to have a 50% chance to miss. ![]() Although this skill’s damage and crit chance are relatively low, it does send the highwayman forward a position and leaves him with two riposte tokens. Duelist’s advance is a melee skill that can be used from any of the back three positions, hitting an enemy in any of the front three positions. Skill Third – Duelist’s Advance: The third skill of the Highwayman is Duelist’s advance. This riposte token will cause the highwayman to counter-attack the next damaging-attack against him. Adding a mastery point here will up your damage and crit as expected, as well as cause Pistol Shot to consume its target’s combo token resulting in the highwayman picking up a riposte token for himself. This skill has moderate damage and decent crit chance. Pistol shot is a ranged attack that can be used from any of the back three positions and hits any enemy other than the front. Skill Two – Pistol Shot: The Highwayman’s second ability is Pistol Shot. Using a mastery point here will increase Wicked Slice’s stats across the board, adding damage, crit chance, and additional deathblow resist ignore. While an enemy is on death’s door, it will also ignore 20% of their death blow resistance. Wicked slice is a decently strong melee attack that can be used from any position other than the back and hits one of the front two enemies. Skill One – Wicked Slice: The Highwayman’s first skill is Wicked Slice. My hope is that this video series will help you decide who you’d like to unlock skills on first during your playthroughs. In this guide I’ll go over all the abilities for the Highwayman as well as what adding a mastery point to each skill does for you. Hey everyone, Adam here with a Darkest Dungeon 2, Highwayman Guide.
