Something very important to note with engineer, is that shurikens make turrets able to proc bands, which give them a ton of damage.

i really LOVE the editing for this video. lot more visually focused especially for a guide and i love it

[Steleaf]

i love the new format

not only are there cool ass graphics now, the switch from "A TIER" "S Tier" etc to "consistency" is great at actually explaining why the early game is the most important thing in RoR (cause after a loop or two everyone just one shots everything with 2 procs lol) and also explains that survivors aren't less powerful but less consistent

The second time I played Merc I beat monsoon for the first time, killed aurelionite, had a god run, unlocked BFG, and, believe it or not, had fun.

[HyatseWasHere]

As a Heretic main, “Consistency: BIRD” is very accurate

A good item you missed on the huntress is the rose buckler. Due to her sprint uptime she can basically have a passive 23% damage reduction with only one of them

Bro?? The editing is SUBLIME. Looks downright professional like I'm sitting in a conference room and woolie walks in with a suit and turns on the projector boutta teach us how to play risk of rain

I've been playing a lot of Merc recently and I think Focused Assault is just better to take all the time now. With just one Lysate Cell, the decrease in mobility is mostly mitigated, with more it's even better. The ability to mark a large group of enemies and get basically all your cooldowns back immediately is well worth losing the extra 2 dashes IMO

Pro tip: if you want to swap suppressive fire on commando for something that scales a LOT better, grab Essence of Heresy. Commando's high attack speed scaling makes it ridiculously easy to charge stacks of ruin, which translates into ez band procs. There are a couple survivors that can scale almost as good with Essence, but Commando basically just straight-up upgrades when you pick it up.

SUPER cool editing in this video I love the visuals they really add to everything and makes it really easy to look at and track

[kingosteel]

This video feels so refined and it has such good quality. Good job Woolie!

[tomv]

What a good video.
To the point, compact, well edited and GREAT visuals.
Thanks Woolie.

The editting and the visual aspects w items playstyle description everything are just clean and amazing insane work :0

[tripod]

It's worth noting that Bandit has a secret passive where bleed is ineffective due to it only lasting about a third of every other survivors time due to his hemorrhage effects. So if you ever see a void needle tick as Bandit, your better off picking that up.

[thomascameron]

This is truly omega production value on this video - love the new layouts! Thanks for great guide!

[huehuerino]

Damn, haven´t watched yet but a fast and accessible guide for all characters seems like an amazing proyect, and likely necessary for all new players coming onto the game now that will run into a sea of outdated content. Good idea o/

[FSRiko]

Nice. Can you do one of these for Eclipse some time? I'm having a lot of trouble with REX Eclipse 8 in the new DLC.

[Brinkalski]

What I've learned about Void fiend is that it's a constant game of managing what items you have in order to manage your corruption meter better. You want to balance healing with crits as much as possible

[carltonrainey]

A tip on Rex, Medkit heals the amount of health taken away by your secondary attack plus more. I healed myself to full in onslaught because of the over heal medkit gives while using that attack

[DadShark]

Shifting everything from “low medium high” to “medium high extreme” let’s everybody waiting to hear how their favorite survivor does get a little bit of extra dopamine. I’ve no doubt that change will make this guide much more well received just on a simple semantic change.
