In Risk of Rain 2, players can collect various items scattered across the map. Each character has unique playstyles and strategies. Mastering these techniques can help you navigate the game more effectively. This guide provides detailed insights into each character’s playstyle and movement tips.
No matter which character you play, movement is crucial. Here are some key tips:
1.Diagonal Jumping: Move at a 45-degree angle while jumping. This maintains your speed and makes it harder for enemies to predict your movements.
2.Circling Enemies: If surrounded, use W+A or W+D keys with camera movement to circle around enemies. This keeps you facing them while they remain stationary, allowing you to hit them without getting hit.
3.Dealing with Ghosts: If a ghost locks onto you, either use a skill to escape or eliminate it quickly. Being knocked back can disrupt your movement and make you an easy target.
You can unlock the Captain by completing the fifth stage, Dream Garden. Locate the primordial summoner and activate it. You’ll be transported to the moon with low gravity, allowing high jumps. Follow the uphill path to find a white wall, leading you to the next area.
The Captain uses a shotgun, and if one bullet crits, all bullets will crit. Therefore, it’s beneficial to collect items that increase crit rate and attack speed. The Captain’s bullets can trigger effects, so picking up items like Tri-Tip Dagger and ATG Missile or other attack speed-related items is recommended.
Loader can stack attack speed and Topaz Brooch, relying on basic attacks and Charged Gauntlet for damage. Robots can be grabbed with the grappling hook and swung around. Charge time is related to movement speed, and swinging can maximize damage output. It’s advisable to stack Ice and Fire Rings.
Acrid specializes in stacking debuffs and AOE (Area of Effect) damage. Recommended items include Tri-Tip Dagger, Chronobauble, Will-o’-the-wisp, Fuel Cell, and Gasoline. If possible, stack Purity and the newly introduced cooldown reduction items. Replace basic attacks with Neurotoxin, increase movement speed, and find a safe spot to spit. Acrid’s R ability pierces, making it effective against groups of enemies.
Mercenary uses shift and R abilities to move swiftly between enemies. Be cautious not to use all abilities at once. The second ability is also very useful and should be used flexibly to maintain an advantage. Consider using War Horn for burst damage. After defeating a boss, circle around the area using shift. Focus on avoiding locks, and stack movement speed and attack speed to build a strong combat character.
Mastering the playstyles and movement techniques of each character in Risk of Rain 2 can significantly enhance your gameplay experience and combat efficiency. Regardless of your chosen character, effective use of skills and items, flexible movement, and strategic planning are key to victory. We hope this guide helps you navigate the world of Risk of Rain 2 more effectively and enjoy the game to its fullest.
