If you want to mimic that, then start Crusader in row 3, and whomever is in row 2 should have an ability that moves them forward (i.e. Post Release: Ouch, Crusader got nerfed! Losing access to Holy Lance in row 2 is a huge deal, since now you can’t have him be ranged and melee DPS at the same time. Despite Holy Lance though, the Crusader is primarily a melee hero, so plan around that. The Crusader can function as a tank with his Stunning Blow and Bulwark of Faith, but just as easily provide some supporting heals. However you utilize the Crusader, he’s going to get the job done. During camp, the Houndmaster can prevent ambushes with “Hound’s Watch” and Grave Robber can cure diseases (which are prevalent in the Warrens) with “Snuff Box”.If you’re going into the Ruins, take this powerhouse with you! The Crusader is one of the hardest hitting heroes (tied with Hellion, behind both the Leper and Abomination) and extra damage to unholy solidifies his rating at 9. “Adrenaline Rush” can also be used to remove blight and buff Hellion’s offense. Hellion is very flexible in this comp and can help focus the backline with “Iron Swan”, stack more bleeding with “If It Bleeds” or handle the frontline with “Wicked Hack”. If needed, he can also use “Guard Dog” to protect one of his companions. The Houndmaster is very valuable in the Warrens as he does extra damage to beasts and is very good at making enemies bleed. Vestal will focus on healing and Grave Robber on killing “Swine Wretch" with "Thrown Dagger". Vestal – Grave Robber – Houndmaster – Hellion

During camp, Occultists can prevent ambushes with “Unspeakable Commune”, and Jesters can lower stress with “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. If transforming is not a good option for certain fights, Abomination can use “Beast Bile” since blight works well in the Cove. The Jester’s main job is to reduce the stress caused by the transformation.

The Abomination will do most of the damage by transforming and using “Rake” and “Rage”. The Man-at-arms and the Occultist will work similarly to the best party composition for the Weald.
