This ability spreads poison to up to 20 other targets around the enemy you hit with Epidemic, making it extremely useful for dealing with large groups of enemies that have stacked up. Acrid’s Special: EpidemicĪcrid’s final ability is called Epidemic. Do note, however, that Caustic Leap’s poison is also non-lethal. I think you should do whatever you feel comfortable with, but I prefer the Caustic Leap. Frenzied leap, on the other hand, does more damage and has CD reduction for every enemy hit, but doesn’t poison.
Caustic leap is the default and it does 320% damage while also stunning and poisoning all enemies hit. Acrid’s Utility: Caustic/Frenzied LeapĪcrid has a choice between two utility skills (if you have unlocked it). Not only does it apply poison, but it is also Acrid’s only way to do damage to flying enemies and has a mere 2-second cooldown so you really have no excuse to not use it.
Poison, of course, does 10% of an enemies’ max health over 10 seconds, although, it is non-lethal. Neurotoxin deals 240% damage with a proc coefficient of 1 and also poisons enemies. Actually, never mind, it is 100%, without a doubt more important. Acrid’s Secondary: NeurotoxinĪcrid’s secondary is arguably more important than his primary. If ever given the opportunity, switch to the Visions of Heresy. Plus, if you read the above section, you shouldn’t even be using this all too much. It does only slightly more damage than the Mercenaries primary and doesn’t have the wide arc that his ability does.
His primary is just a swipe attack that does 200% for the first two hits and 400% damage on the third swipe. So as far as Acrid’s abilities go, they are all pretty straightforward. This makes Acrid super good at reliably killing bosses, it is hard to fall behind when you can kill any boss in 100 seconds. This poison does 1% of their max health per second for 10 seconds, or in other words, does 10% of the enemies’ max health as damage.īasically, if you keep poison on an enemy for 100 seconds, even a boss, you will take them to 1 health (because it is non-lethal). Much like how Rex can weaken enemies, Acrid can poison them. Acrid’s Passive: Poison Can’t killĪcrid’s passive is his most important skill by far. This is just going to be a quick overview of Acrid’s abilities and how they work. Much like Loader, you should use your other abilities (and poison) to do 90% of your damage while your melee is used as a last resort.Īnyway, let’s get into Acrid’s abilities. So with that all being said, you should only ever go into melee range when you are finishing off enemies with your melee attack. You either kill the enemy quickly or get smacked right back, and nearly all enemies in Risk of Rain 2 smack harder. This means that getting into melee range is a huge gamble. Both of those have lots of mobility and some survivability. As a melee survivor, Acrid really doesn’t have anything going for him like Loader or Mercenary. In my personal experience, it is always going to be the latter. Before we get into the mechanics behind Acrid, I would like to discuss how he should be played at the Macro level.įirst off, Acrid is considered a melee/ranged hybrid which means that he can either get up in enemies’ faces or slowly whittle them down from afar.
