The Hellion is a hero in Darkest Dungeon II.

Hellion is a pure front-rank damage focused class, possessing some of the highest damage in the game, above-average health and great reach, making her an excellent choice for a teams primary damage dealer. Hellion excels when operating out of rank 1 where she can deal the most damage to the highest number of enemy ranks. When not dealing damage, Hellion can also serve as a rather strong tank, boasting excellent sources of Taunt, and some of the best self-sustainability in the game with her self-heals. Like many front rank heroes, Hellion struggles most when she's pushed out of position, as her ability to reposition herself can be rather limited, possessing only two skills that move her forward both with their own benefits and drawbacks, often requiring careful team building in order to accommodate her and allow her to perform to the best of her ability

Unique Attributes

Bonus Damage at Low Health

The Hellion has a unique permanent condition that grants her +25% damage when below 50% HP, and another +25% damage when below 25% HP. Note that the buff is applied at the beginning of each turn, so the Hellion can use a Combat Item to heal while maintaining the damage buff for her attack action.
