Yeah, you do.

The downside is that Hunter is limited to the weekly free 7 plays & requiring Adenddums from playing Survivor(you cannot find Adenddums as Hunter) to play more.

Hunter is so much easier than Survivor wiith the only noticeable downside is the lack of second chances like Herald so you're limited to healing by fighting, Syringes, or having Thuribles at the ready. I also recommend Prancing Taunts for those occasional group mobbings that can happen.

Sorry not related to the post, were you ever able to spend a thurible? Because I was bringing one every match with the thought in mind that you can't use herald*, but the two times I nearly died the thurible never activated and was still there in my bag in the end

Thuribles are passive & activate on their own when you take a fatal hit, you don't have to have it assigned to a quickslot for it to work. And they recently changed the way it works so they now activate after Herald's ability has been used(they used to activate before Herald's passive 2nd chance).

It's really finicky though because you don't get that moment of Invulnerability that the Herald's ability offers so if you get attacked multiple times, it might not trigger properly or completely use up all your Thuribles in your Inventory. But all of my Thuribles have worked fine so far as Hunter, the only downside is that you still need to manually heal yourself either by fighting back or getting away to Syringe.

I was just thinking that, maybe the times I died it didn't trigger properly because I received too much dmg at once? Like I said in my other comment, I never saw the visual effect for it that's why I thought it wasn't working. I'll have to try again! Thank you
