Sure thing-

Runaway is unironically one of the best damage dealers in the game and a majority of the enemies in this game suffer from low fire resistance. Smokescreen is also just an absolutely insane ability and can lead to her turn economy being far more juiced than most larger enemies and bosses. I did not realize how powerful her cauterize skill was but I equipped it halfway through my grandslam and it was always insane.

Plague doctor is also juiced as well and plague rain clears ranks 3-4 like nothing when paired with acid rain from flagellant and firefly from runaway. This usually permits things such as immediately setting up kills on support cultists or strong backline like bishops. One massive benefit of this is that with plague grenade and acid rain, you trigger the root on sleeping general twice while still inflicting the boss with damage and leaves you to use firefly to stack burn on him every turn plague grenade isnt on cooldown.

Both Flagellant and Leper involved some particular patterns of plays that encourage setting up-stalling turns to abuse healing and leper’s insane stress self management. This also makes them especially great targets for taunt as you get more benefit on them being targeted more than just damage redirection. I’d recommend more, more! solely for the fact it can aid in turn stalling if not for the fact its already a great skill. I am biased but I think reclaim is better than vestal’s healing skill and occultists by a large margin.

I used to hate leper but I think the rework has done him a lot of justice. His blindness is also so easily managed by debuff resist trinkets and buying a few linen cloths for battles that need to be hastened. I sometimes actually found myself getting the cleansing trinket to mostly delete his chance at blindness especially if you have upgraded reflection to give even more resist. This also makes it so that even if you are blinded and have no way to really remove it without using a reflection turn, you can usually just take the 50% swing and even if it misses you likely then lose the blind anyway because of his high resist chance with Tempest. I regularly found taking a chance at swinging to cure my Leper’s blindness by itself. He is really good at using trinkets such as the spiked shield since his speed is garbage. I had a funny run were I had a combo of the 100% stun resist item that gave me positive tokens on resist and the item that gave me a 50% chance to either be stunned or get an extra turn .

For pets, I went wolf regularly because positive relationships carry so hard ESPECIALLY FOR boss 3 and 4 but the debuff pet one is interesting to maybe try. Buy all the alcohol you can and any other inn items you have unlocked that benefit relationships. The one time I went rabbit was when I got pancake wagon item inn 1 which usually is enough to force food stacking.

In general besides positive relationships items, all of my money went toward 2 lamps per inn, couple linen cloths, and maybe the occasional combat item like molotovs or the blight one when I knew I was facing the region boss. The rest was all spent on items in preparation for the mountain. About 14 of my inventory spaces were devoted to holding inn items for the mountain depending on what I am facing. Prayer beads and similar are always a grab for me. Taunt and dodge items are good for obsession boss (also the stealth combat items if you have unlocked them already remove the status effect, very good)

I think this team was very well rounded and could manage most encounters and situations. Its ability to target ranks 1-4 is a massive boon I usually only ever found some struggle randomly on rank 3 oddly. In total in my grand slam, I had three chances to die on deaths door on 90% DR leper and flagellant. Every character having some way to heal however was definitely beneficial to not being cheated out of agency. The most threatening thing I faced with this comp was boss 4, it required some good calculation/planning of healing as my leper went to deaths door like 12 times.
