Breaking Risk of Rain

2019-01-12

Risk of Rain is a fun little game you can spend a lot of hours on. It's incredibly challenging for new players, and fun once you have learnt the basics. This blog will go through what I've learnt and how to play the game correctly.

Getting Started

If you're new to the game, you may find it frustrating. You must learn very well to dodge.

Your first character will be Commando. He's actually a very nice character. Use your third skill (dodge) to move faster, pass through large groups of enemies, and negate fall damage.

If there are a lot of monsters, remember to leave from there! It's really important for survival. Most enemies don't do body damage. Not even the body of the Magma Worm or the Wandering Vagrant (just dodge the head and projectiles respectively).

The first thing you must do is always rush for the teleporter. Completing the levels quick will make the game easier. But make sure to take note of where the chests are! When you have time (even when the countdown finishes), go back for them and buy as many as you can. Generally, prefer chests over shrines since they may eat all your money.

Completing the game on Drizzle is really easy if you follow these tips.

Requisites

Before breaking the game, you must obtain several artifacts. We are interested in particular in the following:

With those, the game becomes trivial. Playing as Huntress is excellent since she can move at high speed while killing everything on screen.
