How To Play ACRID In Risk Of Rain Returns

- Thanks so much for watching, and another thanks specifically to all of you who have been showing up in force for these videos, seeing the potential here and leaving all the kind and motivating comments encouraging me to keep this going. It's been nothing short of wonderful :)
To reiterate what I said at the end, we're absolutely not stopping RoR content, it's certainly going to be a mainstay of our platforms. I just wanted to get ahead of a potential issue and avoid getting locked into being a solely Risk of Rain channel, I've seen it happen to a few growing creators where they basically get forced into a niche and are only seen as whatever type of creator, when in reality they do a lot more really cool stuff, and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. That being said please remember to comment your requests for future guides! I have all the characters now so they're all on the table! Next video is likely to be Merc since there were a good few requests, but if I get flooded with requests for a specific survivor I don't mind switching gears a bit to get you something for them.

I really enjoy using his dissolving ambush, unfortunately It's a little buggy, I accidentally shot it off the map on the final stage and it wouldn't come back off cooldown, until I entered the providence fight, when I then used it it warped me out of the room with no way to get back in
make a bug report
Holy shit the same thing just happened to me, luckily I was grinding on that stage for 3 hours for chef so I had the door skip equipment.
Bro please keep doing these how to play videos, I am a risk of rain veteran but always love to see this type of content and nobody else is doing it let alone as good as you!
Always hope I learn something new
Based and hard agree
Thanks so much fren, absolutely gonna keep it up, Miner is next and Merc after!
I am also a risk of rain veteran and your content is always enjoyable
By the way, movement speed items are extremely important if you're gonna be running the default third ability. It doesn't have a set "distance" that can be covered by the slime, and it's simply dependent on how far you can get during its 2 second duration. More movement speed means covering more ground, which means making a bigger kill-zone with the slime trail.
Honestly alt2+3 is really fun! Both slow the enemies to a crawl and setting the bubble on top of the puddle SHREDS minor enemies (especially once you realize jumping on the bubble deals damage)
Hey here is a weird request, save Artificer for last, or at least way later, she right now is in a bad place and the development team is working on buffing her to be more in line with the other characters, so you may want to wait till that is over before you make a guide on it, but I would love to see miner next, as I am trying him out and loving to see how you play him, although I think secondary alt is a turd to get so good luck with that.
good to know they're working on it, def a good call to hold off in that case, thank you fren! ^^
@@whispers8888the patch is already live btw and artificer is buffed now
@@philipp5756 is there a place where I can check how she was buffed?
@@isthataninfernapereference4821 steam announcements has it
She got more consistent on her basic attacks but I dunno if that's the only buff cause she feels bad
Of course your Pilot guide did great, it was a phenomenonal guide, especially when you also provided movement tech!
As for future guide requests, I'd be curious to see an Artificer guide for RoRR, since she's the only backported Survivor.
Will do, got em recently and honestly I'm underwhelmed, however I want to get more playtime and get the alts and experiment much more before making a final judgment, but Arti is now up higher on the list!
@@whispers8888 I'm personally a fan of her alt utility, which, despite not mentioning it at all in its description, does damage and stuns.
I haven't played around much with her alt secondary and alt special, but so far I've found using stuns to land all four sweet spot flame chakrams then flamethrower the most effective way to play her.
But she definitely is underpowered overall.
@@gamecavalier3230 I'll definitely need to give that a shot when I've got em, much appreciated ^^
Han-D's my favorite, can't wait to see you do a tutorial on them even though there pretty simple to play.
I'd really like to see a chef video, he's really underrated and has a fun playstyle
i assure you, chef is not underrated
@@Stinker0610 I never see him in any RORR content :(
Loving the guides! I’m not seeing this as a super common request but I would really love to see a drifter guide soon. I just love the character and I think she’s super fun all around
I will one million percent be doing drifter, such a fun character
I play alt1 and default everything else too, it just feels right. If you get a few backup mags with it too you're set for an easy dub as the best character
Loved the sketch in the beginning!
chef please! really enjoying this and i can't wait to see my fav roboy
I love Chef, started messing with him lately and cannot wait to make his either
I suscribed to you because you make really good quality material, and i was actually surprised that you have such a low suscriber count. I know you'll be bigger in no time!
Thank you so much fren, I can't wait to see how people enjoy the improvements I have planned for the series
Cool vid as always, also, i hope a vid for Sniper and Mercenary, my favs charac
Crazy tutorial, you’re really really good with storytelling and presentation, can’t wait to hear the rest, and to hear this quality applied to other games and genres too ! Sure hope you’ll do one on the [secret] character too !
That I will! And thank you fren :D
Hey!
Love the guide, got my first monsoon clear on Acrid on the first loop a few days ago.
I used Alt s1/2 for DOT and CC and normal s3 to get around + damage
I use a method of jump + slash to stack the additive damage since its hard to stay still and not get hit, but I still have a lot of troubles with magma worms since they do way too much damage on contact with acrid (on normal s1/2 he could probs clear it more safely)
Hope to see more guides!
Hell yeah! Congrats on first monsoon clear fren :D
Hello really like how your doing these just wanted to say for when you do drifter make sure to try sub par duplicator with them because it pairs so well with them!
Boy these vids are awesome, cant wait for drifter's turn (even though her gameplay loop is literally hit, vore the shit out of your enemies, spew items)
Great guides, thank you very much for these. I'm often wondering about different kind of item paths, do you think you could talk about that ?
Absolutely could, to clarify do you mean talking about how items work with each other etc, or literal paths through levels to check for items and such, cuz I have ideas for both and want to know what to prioritize :3
@@whispers8888I was more thinking of like another section with the go to items and situational ones and all but both of your ideas are indeed interesting and I'm like to see em
@@roux761 Ahh, I've been largely avoiding talk on what items work on what survivors for a handful of reasons, but I think I have a way to give helpful advice there now that I think about it a bit more, I'll see what I can do for Miner which is the next guide :3
@@whispers8888 Great, can't wait to see it. Keep up the good work man !
I would love for you to do one for miner next
A drifter guide would be highly appreciated, great vid!
Drifter kinda easy mode ngl. Primary ability is "how can he slap" and it's bussin. Basically able to stunlock almost all enemies. It also generates scrap, a unique resource that drifter uses for other abilities.
Scrap is spawned on the ground around the drifter when attacking, and must be picked up.
Default Secondary is "yeet". You yeet 4 pieces of junk at enemies, and it costs you a small amount of scrap. Idk what the proc coefficient is on this thing, but it's insane. Will proc items like nobody's business.
Alt Secondary is "Minecraft Steve cosplay". You create a C U B E which can be bonked around for a bit before breaking. It hurts enemies when bonked into them, as well as when it breaks. You can also surf on the cube by standing on top and hitting it.
Default Utility is yoink. The opposite to yeet. You smack an enemy and if they're below 20%hp you yoink them and turn their corpse into a ton of scrap. Yes, you can yoink bosses, including providence!
Alt Utility is "Garen cosplay". You spin to win.
Default Special is "win the game". You spend most of your scrap to generate 4 random temporary items. Considering most stages seem to have between 4-8 chests on them total, this is a broken-ass ability, straight up.
Alt Special is the recycler from ror2. You spend scrap to turn an item into another one. Not a bad special, but not half as good as the default.
Nearly forgot: unlock condition for drifter is to "recycle" 6 drones in one run. You recycle drones by throwing them into the scrapper that gives you an item in exchange for a drone.
This is a pain in the ass to do normally, which is why I gotchu on this one: the equipment "drone repair kit" generates a special drone on use which can be recycled. If you clear a stage with a recycler, then you can just spend a few minutes using your equipment on cd and scrapping the special drone each time. After doing that 6 times, you'll unlock the drifter.
Great video! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
you should do bandit next. great video!
thank you!
Your welcome fren! ^^
YOU HAD TO GO AND OPEN THE CRATE MARKED “DO NOT OPEN” COME ON
YOU KNOW I'M TOO CURIOUS FOR MY OWN GOOD XD
I thought the glasses at the end were supposed to be crit glasses
Canon now, I have crit glasses
Jokes on you I'm doing double dmg to the that weird looking thumbs up button.
@Tytygaming0623 hell yeah, while you're at it he's got a big red buddy who's lookin at ya funny, should probably crack him once on your way too ;) :p
@@whispers8888 say no more, did him like John Cena, never saw me. 👋
My first time using bubble I wasn't very impressed... until I realized that each tick it hits something can proc on hit items and the explosion scales nicely into late game and ended up getting a win!
You can be a danger fwoof?! Heck yeah! I might need to jump around from character to character once I get the game myself but you can safely bet that I wanna try Acrid.
The BEST danger fwoof
1) Press R
2) Run
3) Repeat
After ur done do a tier list!
oh yeah the madman actually did it!
Man, I can accept that merc is good (with all alt abilities, or just shift and m2) but acrid will be biggest sucker in the game.
He's good before you get to flying enemies like swift, or my worst nemesis - archer bug
Huge!
:D
Doing miner next would be awsome
Right now it's a toss up between Miner and Merc, but starting to lean more Miner! Either way comin soon :3
Such a nice guide! Waiting for other characters)
Ive been enjoying Acrid a lot though I think his alt abilities feel a bit underwhelming. The bubble is by far the worst, the damage and status effect type is the same as your sludge but worse. Putting bubbles atop your sludge from either ability does not stack in any way and the smaller DOT will get overwritten by sludge's, so you are only going to be doing this synergy for the explosion damage. God forbid you try to melee the targets, there is a high chance you will swat your bubble away from the enemies or worse of out of your reach from even you (I have lost many bubbles underground or high in the sky). It doesn't synergise like his default neuro toxin and requires you to babysit the enemies into the bubble to get the effect, when you could just hit them for a fast 220% damage and be on your way.
The Alternative sludge has a sort of similar issue, but you end up losing a significant portion of damage and utility from his default. The puddle is tiny so enemies tend to just walk past it like it's nothing and I am not sure if dropping a significant portion of your damage is worth the slight bit of movement utility. Another point. If you hit shift by accident or decide to use it as it seems to be intended, you will now be down an ability and left to your other abilities, and lets hope you don't hit it by accident somewhere useless and then tp yourself miles away.
Both these abilities could do with serious buffs, maybe giving him a leap like ror2 might be fun though Im not sure how that would work. His bubble just needs to lose the whole hit it to move thing and given more useful synergy, at the very least reduce the cooldown and increase the blast radius.
His primary is as you said fun, not sure if it's worth fully investing into it as a main source of damage but it actually synergises quite nicely unlike the other abilities.
Yeah I try to keep these without my personal bias and present the possible uses, but I REALLY don't like bubble at all lmao, for exactly that reason because you always accidentally knock them away, and sludge is just too nice to me
Always liked Acrid design wise, but the playstyle definitely is a weird fit. Probably will still play him though. When I'm not trying to wavedash across these behemoth sized maps.
It really do be like that, back in Risk one I insisted on just holding forward and ripping out throats, which works in drizzle with command but in monsoon?... not so much 😅
miner next?
given the number of early requests for it, yeah I'ma do Miner first then probably merc, always loved Miner so this should be fun :D
When can we get our little creature Drifter?
Miner is next, then Merc, I may do drifter after that cuz he is just such a funny lil guy (with a gambling addiction, or maybe that's just me XD)
Acrid feels like the worst character in this game, even worse than Artificer which has become a meme.
