![]() ![]() He just doesn’t have the mobility for a quick escape when things go wrong. That’s where things get tricky because as a melee character, Acrid isn’t quite up to the usual standard. You have to jump into melee range to finish them off. Poisoning an enemy deals 1% of their max health per second for 10 seconds, but cannot kill them. Of all the characters in Risk of Rain 2, Acrid is the only one who can use poison, and using it effectively is key to his success. The poison mechanic is one of the most unusual in the game. He does have a few quirks that take some getting used to, but that’s par for the course really. Acrid – B Tier Image Credit: Hopoo GamesĪcrid just about qualifies for B tier, he may not have the mobility of the Mercenary or the tankiness of the Loader, but his incredible damage output, especially against bosses makes him a solid choice. He’s at his best when you can chain together attacks and keep him airborne, which isn’t easy. Playing him properly requires precision and technique. It should be noted that part of the reason Mercenary finds himself in C tier is his high skill ceiling. As a result, it’s a lot harder to play Mercenary than it used to be. Both his damage and health have been massively reduced. However, a series of nerfs have left everyone’s favorite samurai a shadow of his former self. Melee characters are always great fun to play, and Mercenary is no exception. He has high mobility, I-frames, and his double jump grants him access to items and areas other survivors can’t reach. At release, Mercenary was one of, if not the most powerful Risk of Rain 2 characters. Mercenary – C Tier Image Credit: Hopoo Games ![]() ![]() The developers seem keen to make her the go-to high damage/AOE character, so if that’s your playstyle, the future looks bright. Most other characters have better ways of defending themselves.Īrtificer has had a couple of buffs recently so she might end up in a higher tier at some point. If you can unlock her special ability “Ion Surge”, which launches you into the air and stuns nearby enemies, things improve a little, but being blown away by an overloading golem is still a distinct possibility. As the enemies get stronger, avoiding damage becomes more and more important, and Artificer doesn’t have a reliable way to do that. These powers make her an absolute juggernaut in the early game, but her survivability becomes a real issue later on. She can throw fireballs around and summon giant walls of ice. Artificer – C Tier Image Credit: Hopoo GamesĪrtificer is a lot of fun to play and has some powerful elemental abilities. He might not stack up against the rest of the cast power-wise, but he still plays an incredibly important role, and for that, I salute him. He isn’t flashy, but he is a competent jack of all trades we all learned the game through him. He has no AOE abilities, his mobility is outclassed by other characters like Huntress, Loader, and Mercenary, and his utility skill (a dodge roll) might be the worst in the game.ĭespite all that, you can still have fun with Commando. He’s just a little bit straightforward in comparison to any other Risk of Rain 2 character. He is more a victim of circumstance than an underpowered character in his own right.Īs the only character available at the start of the game, the Commando has to have a relatively simplistic moveset and playstyle. That might sound harsh, but I assure you, I don’t have an anti-Commando agenda. Commando – D Tier Image Credit: Hopoo Gamesĭ tier is a lonely place, with only the Commando occupying it. There are some, however, that are more powerful, or perhaps more consistent, than others. There are no bad survivors in Risk of Rain 2, and you can have amazing runs with all of them. This is the Boss Level Gamer Risk of Rain 2 character tier list.ĭon’t be disheartened if your main is near the bottom. A definitive ranking is never easy, but this is our attempt. They all have a totally unique personality and playstyle, and everyone has a favorite. Risk of Rain 2 characters are arguably what makes the game so great to play. ![]()
