Overview
Rogues in Dark and Darker are elite infiltrators—masters of stealth, precision, and tactical sabotage. These agile operatives excel at moving undetected, disabling traps, picking locks, and exploiting enemy weaknesses with ruthless efficiency. Their toolkit includes silent take downs, high burst damage, and the ability to steal valuables directly from foes. Whether it’s slipping past a fight or gutting a target before they realize what happened, the Rogue is built for players who favor brains, speed, and subterfuge.
The Rogue thrives in the shadows. He’s a slippery, elusive combatant who capitalizes on chaos and confusion. With lightning-fast reflexes and sleight-of-hand skills, he can disarm traps, loot enemies, and vanish before anyone knows what happened. Whether he’s dismantling dungeon hazards or eliminating targets with surgical precision, the Rogue is your go-to class for high-risk, high-reward plays.
Primary Weapons: Daggers – fast, deadly, and perfectly suited for backstabs and close-quarters elimination.
Strengths & Weakness
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Fast attack rate makes him deadly in hit-and-run skirmishes. | Fragile – very low health pool. |
| Interacts with objects faster than any other class. | Minimal damage scaling; relies on burst and positioning, not brute force. |
| Reduced noise while moving with the CreepCreep perk, making him ideal for ambushes and stealth escapes. | Poor resistance to magic attacks. |
Perks & Skill
Don’t get greedy. You’re not a frontline tank—your job is to strike quickly and retreat or reposition. Use your superior mobility and fast interactions to grab loot and vanish.
Use bandages over potions. Due to your poor Buff Duration stat, potions are less effective and wear off quickly. Stick to bandages—they’re more efficient for your class.
Master the Hide skill. Use it to break line of sight, disengage from fights, or set up an ambush. You can activate Hide mid-jump while crouching or walking, which helps throw off your enemy’s aim and tracking.
Invisibility doesn’t make you silent. Swapping weapons or items still creates noise, even while invisible. Be aware of your surroundings.
Glow gives you away. Potions and buffed weapons emit light. Unequip glowing items when hiding in dark corners, or you’ll light yourself up like a beacon.
Throwing knives are lethal. Don’t underestimate them. They’re perfect for softening up targets, tagging enemies with poison, or applying on-hit debuffs from a distance.
Pick your fights. Avoid brawling with tanks or multiple enemies. Instead, isolate squishier targets (Wizards, Clerics) and eliminate them quickly to shift the balance of power.
Traps are your playground. With the Traps and Locks perk, you can detect and disable traps with ease. Use this to control choke points or protect loot during extraction.
Never carry a torch when hiding. You can’t enter stealth while holding a light source, and it defeats the entire purpose of staying hidden.
