But I was thinking, what if you turned this common "newbie mistake" into an intentional challenge? To these players, investing in every hero you get from the start is a common newbie mistake. At the start of the game, you can use this strategy to build up a surplus of gold and heirlooms to upgrade your town without wasting money on upgrading/fixing heroes until you get ideal heroes and your town and your gold reserves have been built up.


So most veteran players of Darkest Dungeon say that the optimal strategy for this game is to remember that replacement heroes are free, and to use that to your advantage by just dismissing stressed out heroes or heroes with bad quirks and not waste any money on them.
