"He's a melee" *immediately falls down while killing wisps*

Rex should be able to walk/run on walls

"Huntress has the best mobility in the game" Loader: *Allow me to introduce myself*

Imagine how much more fun Rex would be if his Shift Ability blasted backwards while airborne, and forwards while grounded

I like how the artificer was considered the worst and now she's the best. Magic gang, rise up.

love the merc. I had phases where I solely played engineer, phases where I solely played huntress. but once you get hooked on the speed of the merc, there's no turning back

I've never realized that mul-t doesn't have a walking animation. that's why I'm so bored when I play as him. that's really interesting.

I personally love playing cheese strats with the Engineer with friends

Loader the answer will always be loader

playing commando honestly feels like absolute torture until you get a uke or wisp

I've always loved artificers playstyle I'm so happy to see her in a good spot

Me: Why does commando have the best proc-n on-hit? Woolie: It's just because of Pew, Pew, Pew.

I *love* playing the Engineer, because of the main attack. Always liked grenade weapons, and being able to hold the attack for shotgunning explosives is tonnes of fun. Turrets are best for denying enemy movement through an area, rather than being a mainstay and hanging back while they do all of the work. After picking up a mushroom and a Topaz, I don't worry about picking up stuff for them, just go for mobility stuff for myself. Charging up the grenades and dodging in and out of cover are my go-to.

Hey Woolie. Just started ROR2 this week on Switch/PC. Wanted to say that it's been an absolute joy browsing the material featured in your channel for this game. Vids like this one are very engaging and no non-sense.

I agree, artificer is the most consistent, I always die at the 4º stage hahahaha

9 on artificer and 5 on engineer??? I smell an affair. Great video tho. Keep it up.

-Artificer is low mobility character Artificer when get second R ability AWAY AWAY AWAY FROM HERE I'LL BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you should totally do a pro-con list for the 1.0 release. should definitely help all the new players the game has garnered

Am I the only one who actually really likes the engineer’s M1?

being "that guy" in my group of friends who likes to sit and be passive, and also likes to be the support-bitch comes in real handy my friends just forcefeed me mushrooms and I get ot just sit and eat chips while I occasionally maintain my fungoid health clinic

Nice video man. Im actually liking Rex right now. But Hey woolie do you take video suggestions? You could try a challenge where you go long as you can only picking up 1 of each item, or only attack/ Defense ect

Im so happy commandos getting a new evasive skill and has actual crowd control skills in his new alt skills. Its just not as good as the other ones. It doesnt even give you armor or invincibility frames, it just shifts your hit box.

WAW new video! Good job Woolie.

"Ooh cool, a "who's the best video" ! I like to play the engineer, he's really cool, I hope he will be in the top 3, as well as mul-t. I'm eager to see how artificer will be chosen as the worst character lol" ;-;

I've played over almost 100hrs and with all my runs im def a Multi main. The sluggish feeling i get is too real but i typically never have a bad run with him. W/O Ukelele its definitely alot more grindy for getting past 1st-2nd loop but i typically "endgame" without a problem 7/10 times. He's my boy forsure

Engineer pro:turrets get all your items Engineer con:your to afraid to go without a turret off cooldown

I love playing Huntress the most.

MUL-T's Shift is also really good because it provides a good stun when you dash into enemies.

I still really want Bandit (or a spiritual successor to him) in Risk of Rain 2.

Artificer's primary take some time getting used to considering that it's not hit scan like most of the others. Little hard to land the hits on wisps most of the time especially if they're not within a few several meters of you.

On multi a way to get good use out of the 2 equipments is get one for damage and one for emergencies like when your about to die I found that the fruit and leech work best

Favorite is def engineer, I like playing support and having the closest support person in game due to the Fungi, to me efficiency over fun. But on the days I want to have fun it’s Mercenary

With Mul-T, you can hold down the equipment switch button, and hold down fire mode when you have 2 rebar launchers in his kit, this makes it where Mul-T DOMINATES the game with his new auto-rebar puncher

I like playing REX as i rlly like combining r with the black hole and spamming m2 at the mobs stuck in the r, using REX i got my furthest run so far and managed to unlock both artificer and mercenery in one run using REX

i love rex because his attacks have a massive range and his mobility skill can also get to vantage points at least a little reliably. Although not really applicable in most situations, this means he can snipe enemies from a distance where he can't get hurt.

Could this vid updated for reasons of added characters

Hey woolie, good vid. I think something is going on with yt - Havent seen a vid from you in weeks, turns out I wasn't subbed? I'm pretty sure yt unsubscribed me for some reason.

Do you have a guide to unlock Rex for noobs? I’m awful and I could use the advice

I've found that, while playing multiplayer, mobile characters such as mercenary and huntress have the upper hand since they can get to chests faster. When playing with my friends, the less mobile characters such as rex and artificer 8/10 times are the weakest on the group. Does someone has an idea on how to work around this?

Anyone know where a shrine of order explanation is?

I always play Artificer because you don't need to rely on picking up an item to handle big groups of enemies.

I hope they make somewhat of a support or enchanter type survivor (not considering engineer).

wrong, Huntress is THICC

Baz Buco 0 seconds ago I love MUL-T’s alt configuration (power mode) and weapon versatility. Once you’ve played him for about 5-10 hours, you’ll figure out how to compensate for his sluggishness through certain combinations of mobility items amd strategic positioning. The satisfaction of finishing off a teleporter boss with a well-aimed transport-mode slam is second to none. MUL-T’s high armor skills and thicc hp pool makes him a more forgiving character to play for beginners to play too.

We need an updated version of this tbh

I was wondering, how do you deal with malachite enemies later in the game as the mercenary. Normally when you're not overpowered yet you just keep your distance as another character, but with him, you can't..

Damn my character got a 5 lol

I have played all but the merc and rex and i rank each of the others as such Commando 7/10 I definatly agree with you on this one and he is still a lot of fun my first game with my friend lasted 80 minutes and was crazy Mul-t 7/10 Also a fun pick as dependent on items sometimes you can really make either one of your M1's so much better than the other while also being a full on tank Engineer 9/10 Honestly my favorite character to play as. While yes the engineer is not for everyone the play has peaked my interest and some of the crazy things that can happen with certain items like how dio's best friend can make the turrets have double lives as well. Huntress 6/10 While this may be the lowest character on my list the huntress is still fun, but the lackluster damage on the M1 and the long cooldowns really drop her score for me. Artificer 8/10 Even with every move the artificer has having a cooldown you can still cycle through the moves and be dealing damage at any second. Your moves also start with a high damage starting out giving you such an efficent way to kill almost any enemy. I have now played a couple games on merc now so I am adding my thoughts on him Mercenary 8/10 being melee definitely takes a little to get used to but merc combos make bosses seem easy early on but as I went though my second play through with him I got almost to where I got my best engineer run.

Engie really, really benefits from visions of heresy.

updated version when?

artificer + alien head printer glorious

has noone tried having two railspike launchers on mul-t and just holding switch and fire?

Giving the love to my man the Mercenary ;) easily the funnest character in the game atm lol

REX tip: if you use shift while flying on a geyser the physics kind of break and it sends you REALLY far.

I like captain. He is strong but without much mobility which I don't mind. And backlight afterburner on him is op

I want to unlock merc so bad, but I never end up getting far enough in the second loop. It'll happen eventually though

1:48 i think the best thing would just be to say what "procs" meam

God I love engineer

I totally agree with this

Would like to see this topic revisited with 1.0 out

amazing video. Also, nice hair.

for me it's huntress and merc. GOTTA GO FAST

My very first run with Engi ended from fall dmg because i didn’t notice his jetpack was actually not a jetpack Also managed to crash the game by making Huntress shoot too many arrows, which oddly hasn’t happened to me with any other characters

I'm not sure if its the increased enemy spawn (supposed glitch) or the slight weakening of his turrets, but Engineer feels a bit too weak now. Mercenary and Artificer are the best in my own personal opinion. Merc has so many s its nuts and Arti has amazingly powerful attacks.

My 2 fav survivors are on the complete opposite of the spectrum in the engeneer and merc

Does this still hold up?

I had 33 bungus with engineer and I went the artifact reliquary to get the artifact of vengeance and literally couldn’t die or kill the boss I had to just quit

Little tid but from now is that 10 mines on engi?

What’s first loop mean

You can Immideatly see in the vid at muli whena song worthy of a Pepejam come up XD

I love playing engineer and making my fort Alcatraz

Bandit :) funny shooty man.

Commando should have a passive buff that increases item proc chance slightly to make him more viable

Listen you get Tarting Crit equipment with Loaders Nail gun it’s awesome

what about acryd???

he didnt include bandit i dont think

Rex in a nutshell:point at what you want dead than m2

Ohhhh heck yeah, new Woolie vid!

woolie, is the gold portal the only way to officially end the game? or is there another way?

Hmm, in your Monsoon guide videos you say to almost rush the teleporter in the first loop but in this video you're taking your time on the early stages and pretty much looting the whole map.

Can someone explain why he never talks about Acrid

I remember once being bullied for being an artificer main, so seeing the most influential content creator in RoR2 agree that she's the best character is very satisfying.

This list is actually fairly accurate! Only a couple things I'd like to say. - Artificer tends to feel squishy and this needs to be mentioned. Her lack of movement abilities can leave her feeling like a fish in a barrel when golems and wisps come calling. - Mercenary is easily the most consistent, I feel. It's true that he can fall off on damage the longer the game goes but if you're not getting damage items then you're likely getting good movement/survival items and Mercenary is still viable if his damage is shit because he can just be COMPLETELY UNTOUCHABLE if you play him right and watch your cooldowns and aim your Blinding Assaults just right. - I think what makes MUL-T feel so sluggish is that his Transportation Mode is on such a long cooldown that it ends up feeling like a last resort for emergencies rather than a good, viable movement ability. Plus you're encouraged to ram enemies with it and if you ram a golem you'll hit them pretty hard but you'll also STOP. - Finally the thing I disagree with the most is your rating on Commando. I think you SEVERELY underplayed how reliant he is on items. Not only for damage, but for mobility too. His combat roll doesn't have a SUPER long cooldown but you can only do it once before it IS on cooldown and if you're facing a flock of lesser wisps or god forbid more than 1 golem, you're only going to dodge one laser and roll right into another.

Can't forget that when you're a new player struggling on Commando & Multi, when you switch to Engineer you can finally get to 4th stage :)

Could you please upload your streams

then captain enters them game and puts everyone under his boot

I play as the huntress or the engineer, I use the mobile turrets to stay more mobile as the engineer

Loader has the mobility of a god

Should have been “the first positive to our engineer is that he’s the best character in the game”

Honestly the i find the Artificer the hardest, since i prefer Merc a lot more. Maybe it's my playstyle but she just feels fragile and a bit lackluster in a sense.

I really hope they add acrid at some point

I was hateing commando in first RoR, and I do the same in RoR2

I get to a point I don't need turrets with the engineer. Just need some mobility items. I just don't agree with the artificer.

Me being a loader player who only picked up the game a short while ago made this video very confusing

It feels like no one has addressed the fact that fire dmg now blocks fungus healing which makes the engineer way less powerful, his turrets can be killed very easily now

find it strange that you don't mention the air control of the artificer, if you get a few feathers or milky chrysalis you can basicly stay in the air forever avoiding all damage from melee ennemies.

The melee con is opiniotive.

New vid already NaNi

A huge fix for engineer would be reducing his turret damage output or some other nerf. and then giving the engineer a better M1 and M2

wait engineer has a m1!?!?! i just throw spidermines at people an always forget those grenades, they suck so much.
