Furthermore, the large number of Tokens given by Take Aim (4 Tokens if upgraded) can yield a very generous heal (50% of HP) for the Highwayman when the Plague Doctor heals him with Indiscriminate Science. These skills can also help set up solid combos for Point Blank Shot ( Take Aim grants Crit, while Double Cross inflicts Vulnerable).

If he faces enemies with powerful attacks, it is advised to use Take Aim for a Dodge Token or Double Cross for a Block Token.

🔸 Survivability: The Highwayman is somewhat lacking in terms of defense, especially when he does not have access to all of his skills.

Grapeshot Blast is preferably used to remove defensive Tokens from multiple front-Rank enemies.

Double Tap deals a considerable amount of damage to low-HP targets and ignores some Death Blow Resistance, ideal for taking out middle-Rank enemies, especially after they take a hit from Point Blank Shot and get pushed back to Rank 2.

If Point Blank Shot does not score a kill, it will apply a Combo Token to the target and enable more powerful follow-up attacks, such as Pistol Shot or Man-at-Arms' Rampart, which can Stun targets when upgraded. It is worth noting that Jester's Battle Ballad can push Highwayman to Rank 1 to use Point Blank Shot, and when upgraded, also has 15% chance to grant a Crit Token to the Highwayman for a quick kill shot. These Tokens are multiplicative with each other, allowing for Point Blank Shot to decimate the target. Moreover, the skill's damage output can be substantially boosted with a Strength Token from Plague Doctor's Emboldening Vapours, or Jester's Battle Ballad, and Crit Token from Highwayman's Take Aim for a guaranteed critical attack. Its lethality is increased even further with both Sharpshot and Rogue Paths. Point Blank Shot is effective against Rank 1 enemies Point Blank Shot is a highly devastating skill, but has rather strict Rank requirement. It also helps Highwayman adapt to combat tactics of Heroes whose skillsets revolve around constantly changing positions, such as Jester or Graverobber. With the skill, he can perform an effective offensive combo by moving forward to Rank 1 (where he can fire a Point Blank Shot), adapt to situations when he is pushed back to Rank 4 where he can not use melee skills, as well as gain Riposte to deliver extra attacks with a chance to apply Combo.

Duelist's Advance is a recommended skill for Highwayman.

An upgraded Wicked Slice can ignore much of the said resistance of certain enemies ( Lord, Evangelist, etc.), while Open Vein applies a Bleed effect for extra chance of killing enemies on Death's Door.

Wicked Slice and Open Vein are suitable for finishing off enemies with Death Blow Resistance.

🔸 Offense: The Highwayman is a highly versatile attacker thanks to his ability to target the front Ranks (with Wicked Slice or Open Vein) as well as the back Ranks (with Pistol Shot). His skillset places emphasis on damage and offers utility such as self-Buffs, and a unique skill to destroy or steal powerful Tokens from enemies.

🔸The Highwayman's combat tactic heavily focuses on dealing damage. (no access to various offensive skills: Wicked Slice, Open Vein, Double Tap, Double Cross, etc.) (versatility, target flexibility, access to all utility skills and most offensive skills, Double Cross usable on Rank 2, Point Blank Shot unusable) (high-damage Point Blank Shot combos against Rank 1 Highway Robbery, Double Tap, and Pistol Shot unusable on Rank 1) "Up close and personal - that's how the job gets done."

The following Paths are unique to to the Highwayman. Each Hero has access to 3 shared Paths ( Wanderer, Apprentice, Master) and 2 unique Paths available only to them. 🔸 All Heroes start the expedition with a random Hero Path.
