About this mod
A balance and rework mod intended to stabilize the hero power levels, and to give some heroes clear niches.
- Permissions and credits
Think some of Darkest Dungeon's heroes are a little too strong or weak? No Clever Name aims to bring a different balance to the heroes! Some of the more stand-out heroes have been nerfed slightly, while others have received larger reworks. If your game feels a little uneven, this mod will help bring a few old heroes into the limelight!
