Cry Havoc is rarely used due to its chance of failure but with the Brass Bugle it can provide AoE Stress relief to counter enemy Stress teams. Lick Wounds also sees use to give the Houndmaster self-sustainability, and can be augmented with the Tattered Chewtoy. Guard Dog is a useful defensive tool to save allies under threat, and combined with the Padded Armguard can push the Houndmaster's DODGE stat to near-untouchable levels. Frontline Houndmasters take Blackjack as a long-reaching Stun and supplant it with the Brass Knuckles to raise their Stun rate. The other skill slots are typically filled by the Houndmaster's support skills, customized based on his expected position. These builds favor the Attack whistle and Crimson Hook to raise the bleed rate and Stress output respectively. The second build, designed to spread Bleeds and Stress, typically spams Hound's Harry for almost the entire battle since the skill can be used anywhere.
These builds favor use of the Target Whistle to increase the raw damage done. The first build, designed for a Mark team, typically carries Target Whistle and Hound's Rush to Mark enemies and capitalize on Marks respectively. Two kinds of builds exist for the Houndmaster. Whistle can be used to mark targets (and it lowers PROT too, making it very strong!), Howl can be used to get rid of stress from a possible Abomination on the team, Guard Dog is great when used by a front line Hound Master so that you can guard and dodge incoming attacks, and Blackjack is good in the front line for when your Hound Master is moved to that position.Tactical Analysis Using a Houndmaster The last recommended skill is up to preference because they're all very good. Lick Wounds is a good move that allows a Hound Master to heal himself without much trouble at all. Hound's Harry is fantastic as well, although it doesn't do much damage, it can cause bleed to the entire enemy team. Hound's Rush is the main skill that a Hound Master will have to deal damage, and it is certainly a very good one since it can hit any target on the enemy team. Hound's Rush / Hound's Harry / Lick Wounds / Preference The Hound Master grants the party two Dog Treats whenever you place one on your party during the Provisions menu.
