The Runaway is a hero in Darkest Dungeon II.

Runaway is a mobile support hero with a heavy focus on Burn damage, with much of her moveset focused on inflicting or spreading burn through the enemy ranks. Runaways moveset functions well with her as both a front and back rank hero, able to assist her allies both with Damage Over Time as well as Shuffling, Debuffing or Comboing enemies for her allies to take advantage of. By herself however Runaway can be much weaker, possessing low damage on many of her skills and relying primarily on Burn to get most of her damage. Additionally she is rather fragile, with limited defense outside of Stealth and Regen
