Various tokens: Blind Blind, Taunt Taunt, Block Block, Combo Combo, Weak Weak, and Benediction Benediction.

Many combat status effects in Darkest Dungeon II are represented by tokens, which are visible below the health bar of any combatant.

Mechanics

  • Tokens have varying stack limits, typically stacking up to three times.
  • Most tokens have a limited duration of effect. The vast majority of tokens, when not consumed, expire after three turns, including the unit's current turn.
  • Certain tokens are marked as Positive or Negative. Effects that apply to Positive or Negative tokens apply only to those in the lists below, regardless of the token's actual effects. For example, Combo Combo is a common token with only negative effects, but it is not considered a Negative token and thus it cannot be removed by Indiscriminate Science. The easiest way to determine whether a token qualifies is to look at its colour: Positive tokens are yellow and Negative tokens are blue.
    • Most Negative tokens can be resisted with Debuff Debuff resistance.
    • Stun Stun and Daze Daze use Stun Stun resistance instead.
    • A number of skills apply negative tokens to the user themselves, for example, Encore. These tokens generally cannot be resisted.
  • Certain skills may ignore tokens. For example, the Runaway's Hearthlight will hit enemies regardless of whether they are in Stealth Stealth. The upgraded version of Hearthlight will additionally ignore Blind Blind on the Runaway herself.
  • Skills may also remove tokens. A skill that removes a token will also remove its variants — for example, an attack that removes Dodge Dodge will also remove Dodge+ Dodge+ from the target.
  • Certain skills may steal tokens from the target and transfer them to the skill user.
  • Some tokens may negate other tokens — if one is applied while the other is present on the target, then both will be removed. This also means that these two tokens may never be present on a unit at the same time.
  • Likewise, some skills may invert tokens, for example converting Strength Strength to Weak Weak or Vulnerable Vulnerable to Block Block / Block+ Block+. The inverted token is often, but not always, the same as the negative token.

List of Tokens

Positive

Crit Crit

  • Next applicable move is guaranteed to be a Critical Hit, regardless of the move's critical chance.
    • Using combat items also consumes Crit Crit tokens.
  • Inverts to Weak Weak.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 2

Riposte Riposte

  • Counter-attacks the next damaging attack received.
    • The counter-attack is defined as a special Riposte Attack in the unit's skill table, with its own damage, critical chance, and additional effects. Consult individual unit pages (the Highwayman's, for example) for more information.
    • If a unit without a pre-defined Riposte Attack tries to copy, steal, or otherwise gain a Riposte Riposte token (e.g. using the Caked Palette trinket), nothing will happen.
    • At most one Riposte Riposte will trigger per attack. If multiple units with Riposte are targeted by the same attack, only the frontmost Riposte will trigger.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 3

Dodge Dodge

  • 50% chance to dodge next attack.
  • If Dodge+ Dodge+ is also present, Dodge+ Dodge+ tokens will be consumed first.
  • Inverts to Blind Blind.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 3

Dodge+ Dodge+

  • 75% chance to dodge next attack.
  • If Dodge Dodge is also present, Dodge+ Dodge+ tokens will be consumed first.
  • Inverts to Blind Blind.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 3

Block Block

  • Receive -50% DMG from next damaging attack.
  • If Block+ Block+ is also present, Block+ Block+ tokens will be consumed first.
  • Negates and inverts to Vulnerable Vulnerable.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 3

Block+ Block+

  • Receive -75% DMG from next damaging attack.
  • If Block Block is also present, Block+ Block+ tokens will be consumed first.
  • Negates and inverts to Vulnerable Vulnerable.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 3

Guarded Guarded

  • Next attack directed at unit is redirected towards guarding unit instead.
    • A unit may guard, or be guarded by at most one unit at a time.
    • A guarded unit may not guard another unit.
    • If a new Guarded Guarded token is added which violates one of the above conditions, the old Guarded will be removed.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 3

Strength Strength

  • Next attack deals +50% DMG.
  • Negates and inverts to Weak Weak.
  • Duration: 3 turns
  • Limit: 2

Speed Speed

  • Acts faster next round.
    • Increases the unit's Speed Speed attribute by 100 at the start of the next round, when turn orders are calculated.
    • This means that units with Speed will (almost certainly) act before units without the token, but two units with Speed will resolve ties between themselves as usual.
    • This increase is temporary — only active at round start — and in particular, does not interact with turn start Speed conditions, like the Snappy Swig trinket.
  • Negates and inverts to Daze Daze.
  • Duration: 1 turn
  • Limit: 1

Stealth Stealth

  • Cannot be directly targeted by most enemy skills.

Negative

Daze Daze

  • Negates and inverts to Speed Speed.
  • Duration: 1 turn
  • Limit: 1

Stun Stun

  • Lose next action.
    • Upon recovering, gains +50% Stun RES for 1 turn.
  • Daze Daze and Stun Stun cannot exist on a unit at the same time; Stun Stun will always take priority.

Notes

  • Damage modifiers (such as Strength) stack additively on the attacker, and damage-received modifiers (Vulnerable and Block, e.g.) stack additively on the defender. The two cumulative modifiers are then multiplied with one another to calculate the damage amount. See also Damage.
  • Chance to hit works similarly: Dodge and Dodge+ both stack multiplicatively with Blind.
  • Crit and critical hits function differently, by boosting a skill's base damage to 150% of the maximum value in its normal attack range. See Critical Hit (Darkest Dungeon II) for more details.
  • Due to how Speed works by simply adding Speed100 to that unit's initiative, its technically possible for an unit without a Speed to go before an unit with one if their Speed is high enough.

Trivia

  • Tokens are a new mechanic in Darkest Dungeon II. Many of the status effects, buffs, and debuffs from the first game have been translated into the token system.
  • The Corpulent token originally had a different appearance: Dd2 token corpulent old.png
