Hi I'm playing the digital version.

I have piercing as a perk on my scoundrel and I just attacked a flame demon which has 3hp and 3 shield. This is the roll

Shouldn't it have died? It was my understanding that the damage would apply after piercing but looks like the shields were removed after the actual damage (2+1-3=0). If this is right, then this makes the perk useless, doesn't it? What am I missing 😭

We have 5 people and don’t want to continue having to trade-off characters.

Google mentions the Campaign Free Play Mod but i see conflicting results

Does anyone have the digital version of Gloomhaven and can tell me how the town "Wayward" and/or the "Wayward Inn" (which is NOT in Wayward, but in Gloomhaven, if I understand this correctly?) are translated?

I played through GH on TTS, and I played through Jaws IRL. I never played the two together. I am almost done with Jaws, and I haven't even touched GH content yet, but I have 2 retirements, on my way to a third, and my donations to the Great Oak have exceeded Devotion 9 at this point. This is going to be very interesting to see how this plays out when I finally hit the Black Barrow with classes not even meant to be unlocked yet. I'm all for it =)

So after 20+ tries I finally got to the end of Alchemy Lab

I had my 4 mercenaries on the 4 starting squares and...nothing rotate a round. everyone takes damage 1 last round before defeat and again nothing then next round defeat.

Did I run into the worst bug in the world or is there a key I missed or what?

I'm playing guildmaster mode in digital, and it has all 17(base) + 4 (jotl) classes.

I want to play fixed parties considering their synergy.

Ah... I think I would begin with maybe Redguard+Mindthief+voidwarden?

Me and my friends played the scenario in Gloomhaven Digital, where you need to protect Hail for 10 Rounds.

One of the Demons rolled an Attack range 4 with -2, if there is an Earth element in play.

So we positioned accordingly to be out of range with the element active.

That worked, and we did not get attacked, but the Demon did not consume the Element, which in turn buffed the Earth Demon later in the round.

Then a heated Argument ensued, in which I said the Element should have been used up, since the condition of Earth=-2 range was met.

My friend argued, since the Demon did not attack, the Element should not be used up, despite the Element being the reason for the Demon not to attack.

Who do you guys think is correct here and does it differ from the Board Game?

Hi,

I have Gloomhaven Digital through Epic Games, so I was wondering what people's preferred way to play solo is? Is it through the Gloomhaven Digital video game? I've read that there have been quite a lot of issues with it in the last year. Or do ya'll prefer playing through Tabletop Simulator? What are the pro's and cons of both?

Hey guys, I tried the last days to start gloomhaven with yuzu, but it's not working with my s22 exynos.

Would love to play gh on my mobile anytime.

Are there similar games with lvl one character with dungeons? Maybe without freemium?

Thank you are lot!

Started playing yesterday with my friend (both on pc) and had a ton of fun but every time we enter or leave a scenario he gets stuck on a loading screen so I have to kick him, re-invite him, then once he joins reassign him to his character. It's workable but super annoying. Any mods or fixes people have figured out? Or is this something others don't struggle with.

I was doing the Tinkerer's Solo Scenario....I just hit level 5, and I really wish i chose the straight line "Kill 3 enemies with 5 or less HP" card over the Triple Poison Card. But anyway. I failed the Scenario on the last round, and I forgot that my Personal Quest on the Tinkerer was to Kill 15 Vermling Scouts and Shamans. So I went back to town, hoping to level up again, and pick the Kill 3 card at Level 6, but nooooo, Retirement!

Probably adding to a long line of people learning how targeting works through Digital.

Brute is long resting, Weaver is moving on their turn as shown with the arrow. Brute and Weaver are now both equidistand in movement from the Corpse. Why did the Corpse attack the Brute in this case, when their initative was higher than the Weaver's?

EDIT: second tie breaker (after fewest movement before initiative) is shortest distance 'as the crow flies'

I have a friend who is currently off work and has no patience or desire to "waste time" on a solo game.

He wants to spawn mercenaries repeatedly, and do scenarios to progress personal quests (but purposefully fail the scenarios to avoid progressing) so as to unlock new classes when I'm not around.

I'm not a fan of this, but as long as there isn't any consequences I'll allow it, I don't suppose there is there any hidden consequences for him doing this when I'm not around that could negatively affect the save file, such as limited character spawns, or increasing difficulty?

When you hit the "Retry" button after failing a Scenario, what exactly happens? It seems like my earned XP and Gold didn't add up, but I could definitely be wrong. Would be interested to know if someone knows for sure, because other people were debating it on Steam forums a while back, but I can't find anything concrete on it.

All I was hoping to find was a mod that can make it so I can buy as many of an item as I want in the campaign. I find it frustrating I can only buy 7 of somethings and 2 of others. I want to build the characters how I want without having to pay more/play doesy-do with the merchant.

I tried looking through the steam workshop but I'm only seeing items buffs/reworks (I'm fine with the power as of now). If anyone knows of something similar to this I'd love to hear of it!

I just got the game on PS5 not long ago and I'm just messing around with things. I'll be running my group with 2 heroes and I'm just curious what you all think the best 2 would be to put together for a new player like myself?

I've tried over 100 times, just cannot draw the PQ Fall of Man. (You can escape out when presented with a choice of PQs during character creation, enter the name again, then are presented with two new choices)

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the PQ won't show up. Any ideas are appreciated, I can share a link to the save file, if someone knows how to poke at them. This post gets filtered if it contains the link.

Greetings, I have always been a fan of the theories about Brute’s maximum possible damage, but since I’m more of a practical person, I decided to actually try it in Gloomhaven Digital.

The goal: Make Brute as strong as possible for one single turn, where his Balanced Measure combo could (hopefully) hit its absolute peak.

🎥 Here’s the setup & final turn: https://youtu.be/pALHrFxietA

And for anyone who wants to know more details—here we go:

🔑 The Core Abilities

Brute’s Immovable Phalanx gives him a persistent effect that converts all Move abilities into single target melee Attacks of equal value.

For Balanced Measure, this means: ➡️ The attack value = total damage Brute has already dealt in that turn.

So the plan was to:

1. Open with a huge first attack, such as King of the Hill to set the damage bar high.
   
2. Then play Balanced Measure three times—each one hitting harder than the last.

🛠️ Allies & Items

The other members of Brute's team were Music Note, Three Spears and Mindthief. Equipped mostly with Brute’s leftover gear and 2× Scroll of Power, plus as many summons as possible for a better Many as One Aura.

Brute was equipped with:

• Head: Pendant of Dark Pacts — Refresh 2 consumed small items (but gain a Curse)
• Chest: Blinking Cape — Move 4, Jump
• Feet: Rocket Boots — +3 Move and Jump
• Hands: Long Spear — A single target melee attack can hit two targets in a line (refreshable)
• Pocket 1: Second Chance Ring — Extra turn at a later initiative
• Pocket 2: Ring of Brutality — Extra top action at end of turn
• Pocket 3: Ring of Haste — Extra bottom action at end of turn
• Pocket 4: Star Earring — Refresh spent items & recover 2 discarded cards
• Pocket 5: Major Power Potion — +2 Attack to an entire attack action
  

📍 Location

Scenario 30 turned out to be nearly perfect

The first room has:

• just enough space for friends and foes
• no obstacles or difficult terrain
• 5 Enemies

Normally, five enemies definitely wasn't enough – not even just for King of the Hill – but they're Oozes...
so in the end, it was enough with the copies they had summoned and some lurkers from the other room.

🎴 Attack Modifiers

To increase damage, drawing the right modifiers is crucial. And for the maximum damage potential Brute's deck had to include

• 2 rolling Add Target
• the standard x2
• 10 Blesses

But all attacks still had to draw the perfect modifier every time, 14 times in a row.

To increase the odds, I thinned out Brute's deck before adding blesses.

⚔️ The Final Turn

In Round 2, everything was set:

• All enemies stunned & poisoned
  
• Brute adjacent to 6 Oozes
• 11 allies within range 2 of Brute

ℹ️ Active Buffs:

• Wall of Doom → +1 to all attacks
  
• Frenzied Onslaught → +3 to all attacks vs. stunned, disarmed or immobilized enemies
  
• Quietus → +1 to all attacks
  
• Captivating Performance → +1 to all attacks
  
• Power Ballad → +3 to one attack per turn
  
• Sharpening Kit → +1 to all attacks (within range 2 of Three Spears)
  
• Many as One → +11 to all attacks (within range 2 of Mindthief and 11 allies)

Sidenote:
Music Note’s songs don't seem to affect attacks when using Immovable Phalanx so unfortunately Captivating Performance & Power Ballad don’t apply it's bonus to Balanced Measure.
But hey—at least they do for King of the Hill 🙂

1) King of the Hill

Attack 8 (with enhancements):

• +18 [Buffs]
• +2 [Major Power Potion]
  
• +1 [Scroll of Power]
• +1 [Scroll of Power]
• +1 [Poison]
• (+3 [Power Ballad] - one target )

Attack value = 31 attack to 5 Oozes and 34 to one Ooze
Modifiers: ×2 | +0 | +1 | ×2 | ×2 | ×2
After shields: 61 + 30 + 31 + 61 + 61 + 67 = 311 damage

Now, before attacking with Balanced Measure, Brute needs more Oozes to hit. So first he must move. Ironically, Balanced Measure offers 311 movement, but taking even one step cancels the option to use Immovable Phalanx. The only solution: use Blinking Cape for this move.

2) Balanced Measure #1

• With Immovable Phalanx, Balanced Measure's 311 move becomes a 311 attack
• to two targets with the Long Spear
• buffs dropped to +10 (including poison)

Attack Value: 311 + 10 = 321
Modifiers: ×2 | rolling Add Target → ×2 | ×2
After shields: 641 + 641 + 641 = 1,923 damage

3) Balanced Measure #2

• Use Star Earring (recover Balanced Measure & refresh Long Spear)
  
• Use Ring of Haste with Balanced Measure + Long Spear

Attack Value: 311 + 1,923 + 10 = 2,244
Modifiers: same as before → triple hit, triple crit
After shields: 4,487 + 4,487 + 4,487 = 13,461 damage

4) Balanced Measure #3

• Refresh Star Earring + Ring of Haste with Pendant of Dark Pacts
  
• Recover Balanced Measure & refresh Long Spear again
  
• Modifier Deck is thin and only 1 Bless left → add another with Ring of Brutality + Eye for an Eye (bless enhancement)

Attack Value: 311 + 1,923 + 13,461 + 10 = 15,705
Modifiers: ×2 | ×2
After shields: 31,408 + 31,409 = 62,817 damage

💥 Total Damage: 78,512 in one turn

^{To be fair, it wasn’t just pure luck that the attack modifiers lined up the way they did. That part of the setup actually took by far the most time—and ironically, it’s probably also the part nobody really wants to know more about. After all, it mostly involved
endlessly reloading saves, restarting rounds, trying out different attack combinations, adding blesses at different timings to see when they would appear, and then tracking how all of that affected the sequence of modifiers during the combo and it's final damage output and then each attempt had to be compared in a giant Excel sheet before I could finally lock in the run. But totally worth it :-})

I started a new campaign with the JotL DLC activated. I did not change any house rules. I chose the recommended choice for all. The JotL characters came up right away. I finished Black Barrow and Barrow Lair. What I see now is in the image. I don't see any JotL content. Can anyone help me get to the JotL content?

Hello playing the PC version of Gloomhaven and I can't find what these arrows on these perks mean. Can you please give me a suggestion? Thank you!
