That being said, Rex does have the highest DPS with no items being involved. He is incredibly hard to play and requires a much different play style than the other survivors on this list.

“Rex isn’t bad if you know how to play him” kinda vibe. Rex is one of the characters that hipster gamers play. Strengths: Weakens enemies, can control his HP, He is pretty good at killing bosses but not great at that much else.

It is way better to just use his special and Secondary to kill things.

Acrid lacks the mobility of Merc and the tankiness of Loader, which makes him a liability in melee situations. In terms of melee, he isn’t strong either. His poison is strong, but it isn’t lethal, making him pretty lackluster against certain low HP enemies like wisps.

There was a lot of hype for Acrid (NGL I was hyped too) but those of you looking for a really strong survivor should look elsewhere. He does DPS from both close-up and far away by using a poison that does a percent of the enemy’s health.

Weaknesses: Can’t kill anything, lacks mobility compared to other melees.Īcrid is a survivor from the Hidden Realms update who is a melee/ranged hybrid class. You won’t regret it (and you won’t regret checking out my Mercenary guide either). So if you want an insanely fun character to play in Risk of Rain 2, play Mercenary. One of the reasons I put him lower on the list was because of how squishy Mercenary is, which is understandable because he is a damage dealer, however, he is also melee, which makes playing him require a much higher skill cap. They both are rather squishy with good mobility and lots of damage. By that, I mean that they both want to do similar things during a RoR2 run. I would say Mercenary is a melee Huntress. Who doesn’t want to be a samurai?Īlthough he isn’t exactly the best character, he definitely has reason to be used. Mercenary is the most fun character in Risk of Rain 2 without a doubt. if you really HAVE to play him, you should check out my Commando guide. This is why he is at the very bottom of our Risk of Rain 2 tier list. The Commando is, in my opinion, the worst in the game at the moment. His AOE is bad, his single target, his utility is the second-worst mobility skill in the game, and he wears a bowl on his head. I don’t want to let my hatred of this survivor leak into this, but, the Commando plain sucks at everything he does. Bland/vanilla was my first thought when playing Commando and I wouldn’t be surprised if others share that sentiment. Weaknesses: Outperformed by other classes.Ĭommando is the first class you have unlocked in Risk of Rain 2 and is, therefore, the one character everyone has experience with. Keep reading to see why else the Engineer is so good in Risk of Rain 2. His sentries allow him to kill enemies while he takes cover or collects items, something no other character in risk of rain has. Currently, he has the strongest all-around abilities and kit. The best character in Risk of Rain 2 is Engineer. Before you dive into the tier list for yourself, why not share who you think is the best survivor in Risk of Rain 2? Other Posts:
