Risk of Rain 2s Hidden Mechanic

Thank you guys so much for watching, i hope you found this video interesting, a lot went into making this video, and im pretty happy with the end result; i do feel as though i rushed through some things, so if you did get confused please say something so i can avoid it in future, and hopefully clear it up.

(also i know I said it wasnt about charts, then proceeded to throw numbers at you for 8 minutes, sorry lol)

this grandpa has dementia he forgot crit works diffrently on gunny wunny

Should have mentioned the hidden passive of the clover. Each next clover after the second increases the chance for the game too crash.

Small clarification: Proc coefficient can go above 1.0, but there aren'tmany sources with that high of a coefficient. For example, Railgunner's special has a 3.0 proc coefficient. This means chance based items like ATG Missle and Ukelele have triple the chance of being activated, and debuffed affected by the coefficient like bleed have triple the duration.

"Very rare artifact! An ancient ukulele, from the legendary artist born on Mars. It was said that he was a son of a god, gifted with the power of lighting himself. People say that he was the most humble man... and that his music was simply... electric." - Ukulele item log, Risk of Rain 1

The most important thing above all these numbers is attack speed
5%/8% is small BUT if you throw out 200 attacks in 5 seconds (=/- proc chains) your gonna get something to happen

This is some grade A content right here. Really glad to see there are more resources being made for players that go beyond the wikipedia. Hope to see more from the site in the future!

The Huntress' Flurry works very funny around damage procs.
Items that scale off its base damage calculate that damage off ALL 3 (or 6) arrows, then multiplies this total damage by the combined 2.1x (or 4.2x) proc coefficient.
A normal Flurry gives 6.2x damage to item procs, but a crits add a whopping 25.2x scale to item procs.
I noticed this around the Shuriken. I don't know if *just* the Shuriken behaves this way, but it sure adds a lot of early-game damage as a Huntress.

A lot of the ways that proc coefficient affects dont make sense in the live game, but they used to make sense. Right now, procs like ATGs which do total damage would be automatically balanced for all attacks, only attacks with lower proc coefficients have lower proc chance for these items, meaning these attacks are simply automatically worse. But once upon a time, these total damage procs used to deal base damage instead, meaning that fast attacks were always better with proc items. Proc coefficient was the mechanic in place to counteract this, it was MEANT to balance the strength of damage-agnostic procs (all of them at the time) between attacks with different hit rates. But now that so many procs are based on total damage, it's pointless and kind of harmful. Hopoo really should give a pass through all the effects, and change damage based procs to not be influenced by proc coefficient. Especiallg with procs that double dip into proc coefficient, like bleed, which are exponentially affected by nonzero proc coefficients.

Great video!
Note: Rail Gunner's Supercharged Railgun has proc coefficient 3 1:07

Math make numbers.
Numbers smash, make BIG numbers.
BIG numbers good.
Math good.

[pikagaming]

This is actually really cool. Your uploads never disappoint!

[Future_Max]

I say this is why mods are essential to playing Risk of Rain optimally. The BetterHUD mod alone shows proc co-efficients in game, which help a ton.

[willstewart]

Great video. Love how you break down the mechanic so that it makes sense!

[derggie]

Cult of the lamb music, excellent choice my friend!

[rndThursday]

good video made better by cult of lamb music

[darkin]

another small thing
Behemoths explosion range is also affected by proc coefficients
so Huntress Arrow Rain makes many small explosions
but Railgunners special makes a big boom

[mrpineapplecc]

As someone with 3 hours in the game I understood none of this. Maybe I should come back later lol

[Pyrodiac]

Ok, I've barely started a video.
Cult of the Lamb music. A pog from me.

I'm glad someone went and decided to go in detail in procs. Sadly I already knew of these. But it's good to get a reminder

[EWithNoE]

This vid is amazing! cleared up so many confusing things nobody really covered before.
