You can't play Acrid expecting to do huge damage like Loader or any character that goes around slamming enemies with bands, it's all about consistency. I run his default loadout most of the time and have messed around with melee Acrid too which can be fun.
RISK OF RAIN 2 CHARACTERS HOW TO
I also play multiplayer so no point in using it to skip the pillarsĪcrid is the character I have the most time as, and while I think he excels in multiplayer, I also think a lot of people don't know how to play him well. I don't use Diablo Strike since the amount of times I actually get it to work just makes it not worth it. Hacking beacons are great for early game and then fall off as you get further, which I think is perfectly fine. I absolutely hate his secondary taser and almost never use it, I think it's a waste of an ability. MUL-T also synergizes extremely well with most items since he has such a high rate of fire.Ĭaptain is fun and the shotgun feels great with a lot of attack speed. You can just use Power Mode and stay in it for the entirety of a boss fight since there's no time limit. MUL-T's Power Mode is just so incredibly strong by giving +100 armor and literally doubling your damage output by just giving you another gun. MUL-T could definitely compete for the top spot if Loader didn't have such great mobility. MUL-T is, in my opinion, the 2nd strongest character in the game. Even when I feel like I have a great run, I still end up doing and underwhelming amount of damage in comparison REX is a character I see people rave about but I've never had much luck with. She feels much better with a bunch of goat hooves or energy drinks, but even then the damage can still feel lacking I also use Ion Surge because you have next to no mobility with Flamethrower. I use nano-bomb for the damage, as I don't see a point of having Ice Spear when you have the Ice Wall. Primary fire feels great damage-wise but the cooldown is brutal. Can also be very underwhelming against Mithrix in multiplayer because he needs to stay near your turrets to do any basically damage.Īrtificer is fun but just feels a bit weak as most people say. I think a lot of players start playing Loader early on and then probably die a lot on other characters due to how easy Loader can be sometimesĮngineer is extremely item-dependent and if you don't get a bungus you're as good as dead essentially. Insane mobility, survivability, and just overall very fun to play. Loader is the best character in the game.

Mercenary is cool, but I usually end up playing Loader if I want to do that sort of melee gameplay. Rifle is completely outclasses by the default shotgun primary Rain of Arrows is absolutely useless and I hope they rework itīandit is a good, fun character although I don't play him that much. Huntress gets strong late game but is very lacking early on due to having extremely low survivability and fire rate. I don't play him much but he's the epitome of "average" in my opinion Some general thoughts from like 300 hours of monsoon and higher no-artifact gameplay:Ĭommando is solid and very middle-of-the-road. Railgunner looks awesome, i can't wait to play her.
RISK OF RAIN 2 CHARACTERS SKIN
His mastery skin i would just describe as neat. Hes not bad, and kind of fun to play, but in my books hes ultamitely just the most mediocre character. Her mastery skin is near identical to her regular skin though.Ĭaptain is an enigma. By far the most fun to play, and ive had so many builds with her. That said, i know acrids poison ability combined with some on hit proc effects can clear entire stages.Įngineer is cool, and pretty good, but his mobility sucks, all my builds end up exactly the same, and his mastery skin isnt great. I have literally never played with rex or acrid, im kinda going through each characters unlocks in a semi random order, and i havent been playing super long yet. His mastery skin is cool, but a little lackluster. I love teleporting back and forth through giant hordes of enemies, ukelelies making sparks fly everywhere. Her damage shines in higher difficulty, but you need a couple health items, she is pretty squishy. His mastery skin kinda sucks though.Īrtificer is great, a lot pf fun, but there's a lot to get used to. Before i unlocked some of the others, one of my favourite things was a multi mobility build. His mastery skin is pretty cool too though. I just dont like playing him personally, he doesnt work well with my play style. That said, her mastery skin is my favourite.īandit has good range, and honestly can do some real damage. Huntress is solid, but honestly kind of lacks the range. Hes not the best, but he has good range and attack speed, and not the worst mobility. Commando is honestly pretty solid, once you get used to him.
