To finish Darkest Dungeon, players have to realize the game isn’t a sprint. Do the same after any combat encounter that rearranged your team. Before embarking on a quest, take a moment to ensure each member of your party is standing in their ideal position - because Crusaders and Men-at-Arms aren’t going to be very useful in the four spot - and verify they’ll have access to the spells/abilities you need for this particular run. Position determines which enemies can/can’t be hit (or hit you), which skills are available to your party members and occasionally even impact the outcome of certain non-combat events (like traps). There is arguably nothing in Darkest Dungeon more important than the placement of your heroes/enemies. This tip also doubles as the biggest understatement in the article.
