@@Abandonsoyciety I don’t think so because it counts your total health(which is max health + max shield), using a shrine of blood however instantly detonates it

49:50 First time I got the Voodoo Doll, I ended up holding it for 8 minutes with 250+ uses. Daggers, Wisps, Fuel Cells, Gestures, and Soulbound Catalyst. I eventually discovered that the game will not let you deploy it after some number of uses per stage. (Edit: this was after the 'nerf' that prevented infinite spamming of it.)
a note on chronobauble: the slow makes avoiding Mithrix's melee attacks easier by a bunch and a note on Dio's best friend: it's slightly better on engineer because it gives your turrets a second life, but it gets outclassed by a brainstalks right away.
It's particularly good for engineer on the final boss, since stalks has no elites to proc off of. That ground pound aoe pretty much one shots the turrets, so getting them a second lease on life is really nice.
@@timothytosser288 Ngl, I would only bother going for the bands with a survivor like huntress, commando or mercenary, where you can just skip the barrier, or if you're later in a run and have high enough movement speed that you don't even need the dash. Otherwise, I wouldn't say that accruing up to 5-7.5 minutes extra just for two items, even if they are the bands, isn't worth it.
i agree, white scrap is the single most op item in the game, it has massive damage and can proc your other items, making it way too op. if you get it on stage 1 you know you are getting god run
@@CyCloNeReactorCore jokes aside, when you factor in the bug that's currently in the game where you can magically duplicate scrap at a cauldron, a single green scrap isn't that bad if you get a blue portal.
Well, the whole list, and I only have one disagreement, Mr. Streamer: Tonic *annihilating* final boss (even with some afflictions) has to be something that isn't F tier 🤔There is just too much raw power packed in it
This happens once in a blue moon, but I love Forgive Me Please's interaction with Soulbound Catalyst (which rapidly reduces FMP's cooldown as it's an on-kill effect), throw in a Gesture or two and there are constantly 3 dolls on the floor proccing things. If you somehow manage to get all that + ceremonial knives, you can just go afk and your equipment plays the game for you
Have you ever considered making an ability tier list? Like ranking all the characters abilities against each other? It would probably be incredibly difficult because all the abilities are built around the character's kit so they aren't easy to compare.
Really surprised by the spinel tonic ranking, I think it is a valid equipment item even if you don’t have an endless setup. It functions just fine if you use it sparingly with its explosive effect, long duration and low risk drawback. Reminder that alternative to infinitely looping the equipment with cooldown items just a single 57 leaf clover brings its chance to reduce stats down to only 4% per use. So if you’re only using it a couple times per stage it’s actually pretty unlikely to ever receive a single negative stack before obliterating or fighting Mithrix. The fact that the negative effect is removed on use means that you have some freedom with its usage even if you get it early while working towards better cooldown options (or just better luck).
The fact that so many characters have a different play style makes this list more general rather than must takes, I would say aegis is top tear for rex but for most others its really not great, I still think its a great guide
It should also be noted that purity is INSANE on thermal harpoons + visions of heresay engi. with 1 stack of purity, visions has a .5 second reload time, and your thermal harpoons ALSO have a .5 second cooldown. You can essentially hold down m1 and fire constant barrages of visions, and you can spam m2 m1 over and over to fire near endless harpoons because of the incredibly low cooldown. Just firing 1 harpoon at a time makes you have that split second of downtime that recharges it. It's pretty damn insane, and it also makes mobile turrets with visions MUCH more desirable.
If anyone hasn’t you should try the fuel cell + gesture + tonic combo. Although it takes up your equipment slot permanently, on characters like commando and huntress it is completely worth that sacrifice for the constant bonuses it gives. Any run I do with those characters I try to get that combo
Woolie: “unless you’re constantly one shotting enemies, you won’t have much to do with the crowbar besides your equipment slot. Hopoo: hehe railgunner go *BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Commando can proc it with Frag grenade, I’ve seen it happen. I think it just has to hit more than 1 enemy so that the... what is it, 280%? I forgot. But basically if you can hit multiple enemies, it’ll equate to dealing over 400% damage and thus will proc bands.
Taser has sucky damage but it shouldn’t be used for that. Locking down a bunch of golems so you can focus on the boss or stun clay Templars the second they start shooting to set up your air strike and charge a shot is really useful
Hey @woolie just a heads up, Silence between two strikes is broken on Mul-T as it completely refills his healthbar when you switch. If you switch to the equipment slot where you are holding it, then it fills your healthbar with shield regardless of how much hp you had. And inversely it fills your hp bar to full when you switch away from it. You're literally invulnerable unless you get oneshot(or twoshot instantly to avoid OSP)
So I've done some compilations on FMP data and how it actually works... Wisps scale at 280% per stack, so using this if at 1 stack it does 280 and hits 8 times you end up with 2240% damage. This is like if the Capacitor could hit multiple enemies. ...this is at A SINGLE WISP WITHOUT GASOLINE OR CEREMONIAL DAGGERS. Now throw on a single Brooch for 15x8 barrier, Tome for 8 chances of Gold for faster items a stage, Bandolier for CDR so you can use powerful skills more often, Desk Plant for a healing zone YOU CREATE WHEN AND WHERE YOU WANT or just use Monster Teeth for healing from it 2x8=16% health. A single Souldbound Catalyst also reduces the use time by 4x8 or 32 seconds over 8 seconds. 40 second CDR making it a 20 second use item if you don't kill anything. This is with a single stack of items on what would be a weak run. If you're going to get anywhere then FMP will help you, it will speed up your runs, reduce grinding, and give you on demand healing. It is literally every equipment in one save for Blast Shield. Provided you have the items... no different then a clover except you have complete control at that point. If FMP doesn't help you... then you lack the ability to kill multiple enemies effectively and will be overwhelmed quickly but with a single Tome you don't have to fight to get money to get those items to kill enemies.
I'd say the doll (forgive me please) could get a better ranking, one ceremonial dagger a few topaz brooches and enough drowneds/fuel cells and you get permanent barrier, plus the game plays itself
With regards to the Shattering Justice, it's important to note that armor value can be negative, and that armor value going negative increases the damage the target takes. So Shattering Justice is basically a dps buff on everything, unless you're a poor, low attack-speed Loader who can't hit fast enough to stack the debuff 5 times.
Now 16:15 ... I really mean it when I say the Bauble needs to be at least B Tier if you plan on doing the Boss... Maybe A Tier even. The Boss get's actually slowed to a halt by Bauble, making it very easy for Chars like Captain or Rex to hit their nukes and kite him to oblivion. Srsly. you will not get hit by his strong attacks at all, only his Gatling and if you mess up the Shockwave
I wish they made the poglet a on hit or on kill effect. The on hit efect idea wpuld be a sorta enemie leach. The poglit would latch onto the enime when procked, and attack other enemies while on it, slowly sapping the enemie's HP, however, when the host dies, the poglit will have a short duration on the ground simular the one already given in game when interacting with a pedestal or shop, ect. Upon stacking the little squid turrets, this too also would increase the amount of spawnable squids on the host, making it drain more hp over time but hit more enemies with the slow effect, while drawing agro and leaving the host susceptible to Friendly fire to the other enemies around it. The on kill effec5 Idea I have for it is simple but effective in theory. On kill, spawn a singular squit turret that shoots ink that slows the hit enemie, going for the strongest, closest enemie. The more stacks, the bigger/stronger in stats the pog gets, having a timer rather than health or health rather than a health pool on a timer, wpuld be favorable. I think that a few or more of these changes would make its green ranking more than justified.
one *massive thing to add* shield gens are a *big oof* against mithrix on his last phase.. as you have to play pretty much dark souls against him letting him regen his shield if you are unlucky
Your opinion on the Royal Capacitor is the 3000% correct, I've never even thought of another item to fill my utility slot during any run with ANY character the moment I stumble across it!
in my opinion the gesture+gorag is ridiculously good. i call it the ungo bongo combo. plus a couple fusion coils or the one that reduces cooldowns on kill, and your talking continuous uptime frenzy bb. particularly when your playing with friends, because your getting the frenzy buff ob everybody, including engineer turrets i'm pretty sure, for a few items on 1 person. *chefs kiss*
You can cheese it so hard by getting 5 shaped glass he will one shot you no matter what so at less make him have 5k health and one shot him with a capacitor
When in doubt, play with the artifacts of Swarm, Sacrifice, and Command. Items will drop often enough that you have a lot of room to experiment without getting obliterated for not choosing wisely. This goes for any difficulty imo. Last night I effectively made Loader One Punch Man with how many crowbars, will o the wisps, syringes, and boss rounds I had.
When you play with certain artifacts most of the tierlist here changes EXCEPT for Royal Capacitor I personally play with Vengeance,Command and Disonance.
That's what pains me so much about this game. In RoR 1 you could have so many different builds, even without Command. Depending on the items and drones you got, you could have vastly different runs where you really had to adapt to your RNG, even well into the late-game. Every run felt uniquely different. In RoR 2 it always boils down to on-hit spam. Getting capped crit and a bunch of on-hit, then circle-strafing around enemies is the only way to play this game, that's it. It's the meta, and if you don't play this way you'll die after the first loop, except on Drizzle. No way to make a drone or tanking build viable. DoT builds finally got some form of viability, but it's still inferior to on-hit spam. And burst damage builds are only viable for a short time with Loader, until enemies gain huge amounts of HP due to their crazy scaling.
I think it was worth mentioning how much multiple hopoo feathers can help with the final boss. In my experience, staying in the air as much as possible helps you avoid a lot of his attacks.
purity on engi(with thermal harpoon, reduces its charge cooldown to 1s, i suggest having hardlight accelerator just so that you have more charges to not constantly lock on, as it pauses recharge time, one is generally enough since you can only lock on max of 6 per cast.)with a no rng build(crit bleed, bands, stickies, on kill effects) also throw in some attack speed(predatory instinct and berserker) for faster lock on(or just move your camera so it locks on everything once, since they seek out other targets when the original target dies, they rarely go to waste) is insanely fun.
Only 100k? I had a run on Rex that went 5 hours where I had hundreds of shield gens and infusions rockin millions of health. Casual. Also 100+ Tougher times and Perm Jade Oni. Void Reavers, Mithrix, and Obliterating were the only real ways to end that run.
That’s why it’s not a-tier! Item dependency is bad for tier-rankings, hence why forgive me please is D-tier even though with some on-kill effects it is disgustingly powerful
You criminally underrate Little Disciple. Early game, the damage is plenty to deal with wisps as you run across the stage, which can save valuable time. Also, the proc cooefficient of 1 means that you can create some serious proc chains on enemies, even one shotting groups of mobs just by running past them. This is a fantastic item at any stage for most survivors, and S-tier on survivors that are sprinting often such as huntress and mercenary. The buff to damage has it scaling WAY better into late game, and if you are lucky enough to get two of these they will proc the bands as well shooting 600% damage projectiles that continue to scale with your proc chain items and movement speed. The damage is consistent and scales incredibly well, and has all-around utility for all survivors. I can't see how this is C-tier in your ranking system. From my runs, it outclasses all other boss items except shatterspleen at full crit. Little disciple damage still outscales bleed damage late though if you are proc chaining. If you aren't proc chaining (why?) then this item is pretty poor, but that is a very rare exception.
@@bugjams Captain truly is the best character in the game, he makes mass fireworks a viable build. No one can match the might of 6 waves of mass fireworks.
He keeps hatign on corpsebloom. but the fact that rejuvenation rack increases the heal in the pool and the heal the corpsebloom does. and thus gettign past that cap. makes it incredible especially if you have an aegis
@@hiiambarney4489 its ok. Dio's normally revives you and also provides you with invulnerability for a second or two. If you don't use up Dio's, every time you summon a turret it is equipped with your all your items which includes Dio's. So it just makes them survive quite a bit more than usual and stacking dio's isn't that bad as well. Still not an S tier item for engi but it's really helpful especially if you lack defensive and sustaining items for the turrets to survive longer.
Another way of thinking about Tougher Times (Teddy Bears) is that each stack is another 15% effective HP. The formula is the same as armor's damage reduction (each Teddy being 15 "armor".) So 1 stack = +15% hp, via ~13% block chance (15 armor is ~13% damage reduction.) 10 stacks = +150% hp, through a 60% block chance. 20 stacks = +300% hp, 75% block chance. The biggest upside is that it stacks very effectively with one-shot protection, and enhances *all* other defensive attributes.
I think it's worth pointing out how hilariously OP Hellfire/Razorwire is. That combo alone shoots both up to S-tier on a pure situational basis. I've been able to practically 'afk farm' HOURS into a run with enough razorwire to cover half the map while abusing a hellfire tincture on a gesture cooldown.
Nice list all and all, though I highly disagree with "Forgive Me Please". With just few "Will o Wisps" or "Gasolines" it becomes quite viable not to mention with with "Ceremonial daggers". And there's the fact that that it synergies with itself i you have "Soulbound Catalyst". But true, just by itself, it is useless. Still, good job.
one thing i havent seen being pointed out in the comments is that if you have soulbound catalyst, forgive me please will recharge itself, so if you have a lot on death items you can basically proc the on-death effects almost all the time
Real quick = Speaking on the use of the Forgive me please equipment item, I had an insanely fun run with it recently. probably the coolest build I`ve ever gotten. I had daggers, some brooches, willos, a lot of gasoline, a soulbound catalyst, 3 fuel cells, and insane crit/scythes. So I would just go around throwing dolls and having them reset their own cooldowns, wipe out the entire map, keep me healed to full, keep a shield on me, and constantly proc my other on-hit effects. I felt so overpowered and I absolutely LOVED its synergies. Of course, to make it that great you really need to get lucky with your legendaries, but if you do, boy howdy is it one of the most fun items in the game.
I need some help understanding the Energy Drink/Goat Hoof logic. I am looking at two scenarios: A. Two energy drinks, zero goat hooves B. One energy drink, one goat hoof Let's say our movement speed is just the base movement speed which I believe is 7 for all characters. For scenario A, the first energy drink gives that +30% sprint speed and that second energy drink gives an additional +20%. So if I take my base movement speed of 7 and multiply that by the sprint modifier (1.45 by default, but with the two energy drinks it becomes 1.95) then I get: 7 • 1.95 = 13.65 For scenario B, I have one goat hoof so my base movement speed is, if I'm not mistaking, 7.14 (the .14 being the +14%). So if I take 7.14 times the sprint modifier of 1.75 (this time because one energy drink instead of two), then I get: 7.14 • 1.75 = 12.495 Unless my second equation is wrong and it really is more like: (7 + (7 • .14)) • 1.75 = 13.965
Yo mr streamer, lepton daisy on D tier??. The item isnt that great but damn it is a run saver, just having 1 could save a whole run especially in moonson where regen basicly non-existence. Atleast c tier, last place at D tier is too harsh.
thing is as it is a green if you take one scythe it becomes pretty irrelevant. you could be healing by just hitting enemies instead of sitting around for the teleporter to charge. I think that is why it got a lower tier, because they are all ranked in relation to other items in each tier.
I think it's worth noting that like the squid turrets, the ghosts from the happiest mask can get healed, and thus, can stay around longer if your healing radius is good enough to accommodate them. I think happiest mask is probably an A tier on engie specifically because of that. If your healing radius between the two turrets is big enough, you can practically raise an army since the ghosts will only die if they wander away, and practically no enemy will target you or your turrets directly with a couple ghosts around. That being said, the regen rack/opinion combo is still better if you have the choice. HOWEVER, mired urn is F tier on engie. Nothing like walking past your turrets and having your health sucked away because the thing will target any 'character' regardless of whether they're an enemy or not, including you, or each other, if you place them too close. Also, I know defensive microbots aren't 'intentionally obtainable' outside of metamorphosis/doppleganger hijinks, but I still think it deserved to be on the list.
Do note now that Ocular HUD does not “lose effectiveness over time” for Railgunner. Since Railgunner converts crit chance to crit damage, I used this along side lots of glasses to get Railgunner: Annihilator.
with the survivors of the void update blast shower is S tier, because it clears the cooldown on the void bear, which essentially means invincibility with enough uptime
i'm pretty sure the saw blades now return early on hitting terrain, proccing another hit rather than fall to the ground so you can get the full six on a target easy by aiming at the ground behind it
The missile launcher equipment can do wacky damage if you have several of them and the cooldown is really short. I would place it right behind the capacitor in S tier. You basically get a never-ending stream of guided missiles. Cleans up everything quickly.
Funniest run yet was a few stages to start with Challenge of mountain and we got shit ton of Yellow tentacles. Further in the run, we came up to a printer of Goat Hoof and Little Disciple. Had stacked 7 Little disciple and stacked 13 hoof and had around 10 energy drink. Running around at the speed of sound killing everything in my wake. Everyone need to try this if you ever come up to this.
I've got 109 hours on risk of rain with 102/103 achievements on steam completed and I thought I knew everything about the game. This video has totally destroyed the idea of what I thought a good load out is. I had no idea that the meat hooks and daggers were bosses of prock chaining. This video is probably the most informative and helpful video on ROR2 on TH-cam. Also been following Woolie for a while, man is a ROR2 GOD!
I've been running huntress on attack speed crit builds, and this video is really helping me round out the decisions I need to make. Ten soldier's syringes is definitely too many when Predatory Instincts is a thing.
i should mention there are items that have WILDLY different effectiveness based on the survivor or even minor loadout changes like how hardlight works WAY better on forcefield than thermal harpoons (due to how charges are generally worth more the less there are)
Just lost a run with an amazing set of items seconds before picking up a ukulele that would've saved me. Literally got out of danger and slowly burned to death with no way of healing. I was consulting this video during the run to make the best picks at the lunar place.
Funny thing about sticky bombs. On Captain, if you shoot a wisp with all your shot and sticky bombs triggered the wisp will be knocked back and the sticky bombs won't stick to him
My One Different Opinion: Like bungus, I'd make an engi exception for Dio's Best Friend. Reviving turrets is super useful, and the 3 second invulnerability after revive is long enough for them to start shooting and get bungus going again.
I slapped royal capacitor onto an equipment drone. If I didn't die like an utter loser I'm sure it would have carried me pretty well. Maybe. Still getting better at playing the game. Thanks for the tier list and info for the items!
Please Forgive Me is broken with Gesture of the Drowned. It just spawns daggers if you have them item. It can give you barrier if you have a brooch and constantly if you have a good uptime.
I like running the primordial cube with nano spear on artificer or on a rail gun Mul T. The piercing effect can cause a mad chain of effects that could 1 shot even malachite enemies, provided enough are grouped up. Idk if there’s a placebo effect there but I’ve had an ATG show a 15k damage marker before the end of the first loop.
If you have enough Molten Perforators and clovers, you can turn your melee survivor runs into PoE Molten Strike characters. Makes for a good giggle, fun for a laugh when you get bored of a long run and you find the necessary printers.
bleed op
I concur
shatterspleen is best girl change my mind
shatterspleen for the win
indeed
did you bleed before mr streamer? of course it is op

Mired Urn is F tier in multiplayer, you start stealing health from each other and slow each other down as well
I think hopoo are looking to change that in the next update
Some would argue that, that makes it S-Tier :)

Also on engineer, my turrets stole health from me and slowed me. Going near them was like asking to die
procs razors though so its good with engi

How could he

Does having the fuel array and picking up a glass shard instakill you?

It's particularly good for engineer on the final boss, since stalks has no elites to proc off of. That ground pound aoe pretty much one shots the turrets, so getting them a second lease on life is really nice.

Well double bands is worth it.
@@timothytosser288 Ngl, I would only bother going for the bands with a survivor like huntress, commando or mercenary, where you can just skip the barrier, or if you're later in a run and have high enough movement speed that you don't even need the dash.

Why nerf items i see no points there isnt any online battle so people cant complain so why nerf?
Well, the whole list, and I only have one disagreement, Mr. Streamer:
Tonic *annihilating* final boss (even with some afflictions) has to be something that isn't F tier 🤔There is just too much raw power packed in it
Yeah, honestly, even without stacking equipment cooldown, tonic can easily save the run, should be at least D-C tier
CRABBAR I DEMAND MORE TERRARIA
If you get gesture of the drowned and 3 power cells spinel tonic is always active and is really broken
I don't think Mithrix takes tonic afflict
He does take shaped glass though
You can even throw afflictions into scrappers to get rid of them. Although it breaks the scrapper in the process.
This happens once in a blue moon, but I love Forgive Me Please's interaction with Soulbound Catalyst (which rapidly reduces FMP's cooldown as it's an on-kill effect), throw in a Gesture or two and there are constantly 3 dolls on the floor proccing things. If you somehow manage to get all that + ceremonial knives, you can just go afk and your equipment plays the game for you
That League analogy for Shattering Justice was beautiful, Mr. Streamer.

Why would you respect such a poor design?
Have you ever considered making an ability tier list? Like ranking all the characters abilities against each other? It would probably be incredibly difficult because all the abilities are built around the character's kit so they aren't easy to compare.
Beatle guards are only useful as a battery when you have a mired urn.
Portable battery meta here we come
If you have caped crit it gives insane healing
Really surprised by the spinel tonic ranking, I think it is a valid equipment item even if you don’t have an endless setup. It functions just fine if you use it sparingly with its explosive effect, long duration and low risk drawback. Reminder that alternative to infinitely looping the equipment with cooldown items just a single 57 leaf clover brings its chance to reduce stats down to only 4% per use. So if you’re only using it a couple times per stage it’s actually pretty unlikely to ever receive a single negative stack before obliterating or fighting Mithrix. The fact that the negative effect is removed on use means that you have some freedom with its usage even if you get it early while working towards better cooldown options (or just better luck).
The fact that so many characters have a different play style makes this list more general rather than must takes, I would say aegis is top tear for rex but for most others its really not great, I still think its a great guide
When you revealed Aegis was B-Tier, I literally pulled it from a chest. Thank you?
It should also be noted that purity is INSANE on thermal harpoons + visions of heresay engi. with 1 stack of purity, visions has a .5 second reload time, and your thermal harpoons ALSO have a .5 second cooldown. You can essentially hold down m1 and fire constant barrages of visions, and you can spam m2 m1 over and over to fire near endless harpoons because of the incredibly low cooldown. Just firing 1 harpoon at a time makes you have that split second of downtime that recharges it. It's pretty damn insane, and it also makes mobile turrets with visions MUCH more desirable.

the burn you can get from the molten perferator is actually useful for being a more consistent form of gasoline, it actually adds to your deathmark
Hey @woolie just a heads up, Silence between two strikes is broken on Mul-T as it completely refills his healthbar when you switch. If you switch to the equipment slot where you are holding it, then it fills your healthbar with shield regardless of how much hp you had. And inversely it fills your hp bar to full when you switch away from it. You're literally invulnerable unless you get oneshot(or twoshot instantly to avoid OSP)
So I've done some compilations on FMP data and how it actually works... Wisps scale at 280% per stack, so using this if at 1 stack it does 280 and hits 8 times you end up with 2240% damage. This is like if the Capacitor could hit multiple enemies.
...this is at A SINGLE WISP WITHOUT GASOLINE OR CEREMONIAL DAGGERS.
Now throw on a single Brooch for 15x8 barrier, Tome for 8 chances of Gold for faster items a stage, Bandolier for CDR so you can use powerful skills more often, Desk Plant for a healing zone YOU CREATE WHEN AND WHERE YOU WANT or just use Monster Teeth for healing from it 2x8=16% health. A single Souldbound Catalyst also reduces the use time by 4x8 or 32 seconds over 8 seconds. 40 second CDR making it a 20 second use item if you don't kill anything.
This is with a single stack of items on what would be a weak run.
If you're going to get anywhere then FMP will help you, it will speed up your runs, reduce grinding, and give you on demand healing. It is literally every equipment in one save for Blast Shield. Provided you have the items... no different then a clover except you have complete control at that point. If FMP doesn't help you... then you lack the ability to kill multiple enemies effectively and will be overwhelmed quickly but with a single Tome you don't have to fight to get money to get those items to kill enemies.
I love your willow the wisp explanation

55 minute tier list video. HHHNNNGGGGG, (grabs popcorn)
With regards to the Shattering Justice, it's important to note that armor value can be negative, and that armor value going negative increases the damage the target takes. So Shattering Justice is basically a dps buff on everything, unless you're a poor, low attack-speed Loader who can't hit fast enough to stack the debuff 5 times.
48:47 Not sure what it is about it but this line is extremely satisfying to my ears, thanks mr streamer
41:20 "This one PANES my quite a bit"
Woolie: above 6 syringes is overkill
Me: carries 23 syringes
Now 16:15 ... I really mean it when I say the Bauble needs to be at least B Tier if you plan on doing the Boss... Maybe A Tier even. The Boss get's actually slowed to a halt by Bauble, making it very easy for Chars like Captain or Rex to hit their nukes and kite him to oblivion. Srsly. you will not get hit by his strong attacks at all, only his Gatling and if you mess up the Shockwave
I wish they made the poglet a on hit or on kill effect.
The on hit efect idea wpuld be a sorta enemie leach. The poglit would latch onto the enime when procked, and attack other enemies while on it, slowly sapping the enemie's HP, however, when the host dies, the poglit will have a short duration on the ground simular the one already given in game when interacting with a pedestal or shop, ect.
Upon stacking the little squid turrets, this too also would increase the amount of spawnable squids on the host, making it drain more hp over time but hit more enemies with the slow effect, while drawing agro and leaving the host susceptible to Friendly fire to the other enemies around it.
The on kill effec5 Idea I have for it is simple but effective in theory.
On kill, spawn a singular squit turret that shoots ink that slows the hit enemie, going for the strongest, closest enemie.
The more stacks, the bigger/stronger in stats the pog gets, having a timer rather than health or health rather than a health pool on a timer, wpuld be favorable.
I think that a few or more of these changes would make its green ranking more than justified.
one *massive thing to add* shield gens are a *big oof* against mithrix on his last phase.. as you have to play pretty much dark souls against him letting him regen his shield if you are unlucky

I didn't realize this video was almost an hour long til I was 35 minutes in
Oh my God I had no idea I sat that long watching this until I read this comment... I better get of yt stat
Your opinion on the Royal Capacitor is the 3000% correct, I've never even thought of another item to fill my utility slot during any run with ANY character the moment I stumble across it!
in my opinion the gesture+gorag is ridiculously good. i call it the ungo bongo combo. plus a couple fusion coils or the one that reduces cooldowns on kill, and your talking continuous uptime frenzy bb. particularly when your playing with friends, because your getting the frenzy buff ob everybody, including engineer turrets i'm pretty sure, for a few items on 1 person. *chefs kiss*
Spinel tonic afflictions are fun against the final boss, though...
I also realized that having the final boss yoink someone's shaped glass made him easier to deal with, but still dangerous.
He doesn't grab them
You can cheese it so hard by getting 5 shaped glass he will one shot you no matter what so at less make him have 5k health and one shot him with a capacitor
“In this game the less thinking your items make you do the better”
That’s... kinda depressing for the game itself, I wish weird builds were viable
When in doubt, play with the artifacts of Swarm, Sacrifice, and Command. Items will drop often enough that you have a lot of room to experiment without getting obliterated for not choosing wisely. This goes for any difficulty imo.
Last night I effectively made Loader One Punch Man with how many crowbars, will o the wisps, syringes, and boss rounds I had.
Oh they are. Jade Elephant constant uptime on Mul-T with capped bleeds is what I call the BattleBot build.
When you play with certain artifacts most of the tierlist here changes EXCEPT for Royal Capacitor
I personally play with Vengeance,Command and Disonance.
That's what pains me so much about this game. In RoR 1 you could have so many different builds, even without Command. Depending on the items and drones you got, you could have vastly different runs where you really had to adapt to your RNG, even well into the late-game. Every run felt uniquely different.
In RoR 2 it always boils down to on-hit spam. Getting capped crit and a bunch of on-hit, then circle-strafing around enemies is the only way to play this game, that's it. It's the meta, and if you don't play this way you'll die after the first loop, except on Drizzle. No way to make a drone or tanking build viable. DoT builds finally got some form of viability, but it's still inferior to on-hit spam. And burst damage builds are only viable for a short time with Loader, until enemies gain huge amounts of HP due to their crazy scaling.
Glad you made Infusion B tier ive been advocating grabbing this item whenever possible to my friend group for awhile now.
I can't say for sure because I'm on console but the way you seemed to explain all the changes makes me think your teir list was near perfection

I think it was worth mentioning how much multiple hopoo feathers can help with the final boss. In my experience, staying in the air as much as possible helps you avoid a lot of his attacks.
purity on engi(with thermal harpoon, reduces its charge cooldown to 1s, i suggest having hardlight accelerator just so that you have more charges to not constantly lock on, as it pauses recharge time, one is generally enough since you can only lock on max of 6 per cast.)with a no rng build(crit bleed, bands, stickies, on kill effects) also throw in some attack speed(predatory instinct and berserker) for faster lock on(or just move your camera so it locks on everything once, since they seek out other targets when the original target dies, they rarely go to waste) is insanely fun.
uh mr. streamer but i stacked 110 shield generators on my swarms/sacrifice/commandy run and became immortal with 100k+ health. wdym its bad?
Only 100k? I had a run on Rex that went 5 hours where I had hundreds of shield gens and infusions rockin millions of health. Casual. Also 100+ Tougher times and Perm Jade Oni. Void Reavers, Mithrix, and Obliterating were the only real ways to end that run.
Little Disciple should be placed in the A-Tier. With enough attack speed this baby is pumping out more damage than a Tesla Coil
That’s why it’s not a-tier!
Item dependency is bad for tier-rankings, hence why forgive me please is D-tier even though with some on-kill effects it is disgustingly powerful
When stacking medkits is better than stacking shaped glass. This is truly interesting
You criminally underrate Little Disciple. Early game, the damage is plenty to deal with wisps as you run across the stage, which can save valuable time. Also, the proc cooefficient of 1 means that you can create some serious proc chains on enemies, even one shotting groups of mobs just by running past them. This is a fantastic item at any stage for most survivors, and S-tier on survivors that are sprinting often such as huntress and mercenary. The buff to damage has it scaling WAY better into late game, and if you are lucky enough to get two of these they will proc the bands as well shooting 600% damage projectiles that continue to scale with your proc chain items and movement speed.
The damage is consistent and scales incredibly well, and has all-around utility for all survivors. I can't see how this is C-tier in your ranking system. From my runs, it outclasses all other boss items except shatterspleen at full crit. Little disciple damage still outscales bleed damage late though if you are proc chaining. If you aren't proc chaining (why?) then this item is pretty poor, but that is a very rare exception.

Dio's Best Friend is pretty poggers on Engi imo
What does it do? I rarely play Engi, so sorry for bothering.
@@hiiambarney4489 its ok. Dio's normally revives you and also provides you with invulnerability for a second or two. If you don't use up Dio's, every time you summon a turret it is equipped with your all your items which includes Dio's.
So it just makes them survive quite a bit more than usual and stacking dio's isn't that bad as well. Still not an S tier item for engi but it's really helpful especially if you lack defensive and sustaining items for the turrets to survive longer.
@@Zapidalacz Dio's with a Genesis Loop is even better. :D
@@KainYusanagi I actually never thought of that combo. Nice one, gotta try that someday. Preferably with few shaped glass :D
@@Zapidalacz Eh, a single Crowbar will outscale Shaped Glass' damage bonus, though? At least against enemies that matter.
Another way of thinking about Tougher Times (Teddy Bears) is that each stack is another 15% effective HP. The formula is the same as armor's damage reduction (each Teddy being 15 "armor".)
So 1 stack = +15% hp, via ~13% block chance (15 armor is ~13% damage reduction.) 10 stacks = +150% hp, through a 60% block chance. 20 stacks = +300% hp, 75% block chance. The biggest upside is that it stacks very effectively with one-shot protection, and enhances *all* other defensive attributes.
I think it's worth pointing out how hilariously OP Hellfire/Razorwire is. That combo alone shoots both up to S-tier on a pure situational basis. I've been able to practically 'afk farm' HOURS into a run with enough razorwire to cover half the map while abusing a hellfire tincture on a gesture cooldown.
Nice list all and all, though I highly disagree with "Forgive Me Please". With just few "Will o Wisps" or "Gasolines" it becomes quite viable not to mention with with "Ceremonial daggers". And there's the fact that that it synergies with itself i you have "Soulbound Catalyst". But true, just by itself, it is useless. Still, good job.
Bustling fungus is good for the engineer on multiplayer. It makes all of your turrets have auras around them too, and its really useful.
one thing i havent seen being pointed out in the comments is that if you have soulbound catalyst, forgive me please will recharge itself, so if you have a lot on death items you can basically proc the on-death effects almost all the time
Liked before watching, so make it good Mr. Streamer
Real quick = Speaking on the use of the Forgive me please equipment item, I had an insanely fun run with it recently. probably the coolest build I`ve ever gotten.
I had daggers, some brooches, willos, a lot of gasoline, a soulbound catalyst, 3 fuel cells, and insane crit/scythes.
So I would just go around throwing dolls and having them reset their own cooldowns, wipe out the entire map, keep me healed to full, keep a shield on me, and constantly proc my other on-hit effects. I felt so overpowered and I absolutely LOVED its synergies.
Of course, to make it that great you really need to get lucky with your legendaries, but if you do, boy howdy is it one of the most fun items in the game.
They are removing the fact that the forgive me please procs its own soulbound catalyst
Queen’s gland: when you get to the phase in the mithrix fight where he steals all your items, the beetle will turn on you and deal emotional damage
I need some help understanding the Energy Drink/Goat Hoof logic.
I am looking at two scenarios:
A. Two energy drinks, zero goat hooves
B. One energy drink, one goat hoof
Let's say our movement speed is just the base movement speed which I believe is 7 for all characters.
For scenario A, the first energy drink gives that +30% sprint speed and that second energy drink gives an additional +20%. So if I take my base movement speed of 7 and multiply that by the sprint modifier (1.45 by default, but with the two energy drinks it becomes 1.95) then I get:
7 • 1.95 = 13.65
For scenario B, I have one goat hoof so my base movement speed is, if I'm not mistaking, 7.14 (the .14 being the +14%). So if I take 7.14 times the sprint modifier of 1.75 (this time because one energy drink instead of two), then I get:
7.14 • 1.75 = 12.495
Unless my second equation is wrong and it really is more like:
(7 + (7 • .14)) • 1.75 = 13.965
goat hoof is +14% of base speed, not +0.14 speed

Yo mr streamer, lepton daisy on D tier??. The item isnt that great but damn it is a run saver, just having 1 could save a whole run especially in moonson where regen basicly non-existence.
Atleast c tier, last place at D tier is too harsh.
thing is as it is a green if you take one scythe it becomes pretty irrelevant. you could be healing by just hitting enemies instead of sitting around for the teleporter to charge. I think that is why it got a lower tier, because they are all ranked in relation to other items in each tier.
@@brandonlemens230 Plus the fact that it's only useful during the teleporter event, while scythe (and even leeching seed) are always useful.
I like to stack a shit load of crowbars when playing artificer
I think it's worth noting that like the squid turrets, the ghosts from the happiest mask can get healed, and thus, can stay around longer if your healing radius is good enough to accommodate them. I think happiest mask is probably an A tier on engie specifically because of that. If your healing radius between the two turrets is big enough, you can practically raise an army since the ghosts will only die if they wander away, and practically no enemy will target you or your turrets directly with a couple ghosts around. That being said, the regen rack/opinion combo is still better if you have the choice.
HOWEVER, mired urn is F tier on engie. Nothing like walking past your turrets and having your health sucked away because the thing will target any 'character' regardless of whether they're an enemy or not, including you, or each other, if you place them too close.
Also, I know defensive microbots aren't 'intentionally obtainable' outside of metamorphosis/doppleganger hijinks, but I still think it deserved to be on the list.
Do note now that Ocular HUD does not “lose effectiveness over time” for Railgunner. Since Railgunner converts crit chance to crit damage, I used this along side lots of glasses to get Railgunner: Annihilator.
with the survivors of the void update blast shower is S tier, because it clears the cooldown on the void bear, which essentially means invincibility with enough uptime
I actually really liked a lot of your comedy in this video very well done
we need some balanciing patches ASAP. POGlyp needs a hard nerf.
i'm pretty sure the saw blades now return early on hitting terrain, proccing another hit rather than fall to the ground so you can get the full six on a target easy by aiming at the ground behind it
The missile launcher equipment can do wacky damage if you have several of them and the cooldown is really short. I would place it right behind the capacitor in S tier. You basically get a never-ending stream of guided missiles. Cleans up everything quickly.
Funniest run yet was a few stages to start with Challenge of mountain and we got shit ton of Yellow tentacles. Further in the run, we came up to a printer of Goat Hoof and Little Disciple. Had stacked 7 Little disciple and stacked 13 hoof and had around 10 energy drink. Running around at the speed of sound killing everything in my wake. Everyone need to try this if you ever come up to this.
I've got 109 hours on risk of rain with 102/103 achievements on steam completed and I thought I knew everything about the game. This video has totally destroyed the idea of what I thought a good load out is. I had no idea that the meat hooks and daggers were bosses of prock chaining. This video is probably the most informative and helpful video on ROR2 on TH-cam. Also been following Woolie for a while, man is a ROR2 GOD!
Woolie " the need for anything more than 6 or 7 syringe's is complete overkill"
*me remembering the 137 syringe's I used on a run.....*
I've been running huntress on attack speed crit builds, and this video is really helping me round out the decisions I need to make. Ten soldier's syringes is definitely too many when Predatory Instincts is a thing.
I really like the crowbar on Bandit, with his revolver. Makes that a lot more effective
Wake of Vultures is literally Headhunter from Path of Exile. which is one of the most desirable items in POE for clearing end game maps quickly
i should mention there are items that have WILDLY different effectiveness based on the survivor or even minor loadout changes like how hardlight works WAY better on forcefield than thermal harpoons (due to how charges are generally worth more the less there are)
Just lost a run with an amazing set of items seconds before picking up a ukulele that would've saved me. Literally got out of danger and slowly burned to death with no way of healing. I was consulting this video during the run to make the best picks at the lunar place.
Funny thing about sticky bombs. On Captain, if you shoot a wisp with all your shot and sticky bombs triggered the wisp will be knocked back and the sticky bombs won't stick to him
My One Different Opinion: Like bungus, I'd make an engi exception for Dio's Best Friend. Reviving turrets is super useful, and the 3 second invulnerability after revive is long enough for them to start shooting and get bungus going again.
I slapped royal capacitor onto an equipment drone.
If I didn't die like an utter loser I'm sure it would have carried me pretty well.
Maybe.
Still getting better at playing the game.
Thanks for the tier list and info for the items!
Please Forgive Me is broken with Gesture of the Drowned. It just spawns daggers if you have them item. It can give you barrier if you have a brooch and constantly if you have a good uptime.
I like running the primordial cube with nano spear on artificer or on a rail gun Mul T. The piercing effect can cause a mad chain of effects that could 1 shot even malachite enemies, provided enough are grouped up. Idk if there’s a placebo effect there but I’ve had an ATG show a 15k damage marker before the end of the first loop.
If you have enough Molten Perforators and clovers, you can turn your melee survivor runs into PoE Molten Strike characters.
Makes for a good giggle, fun for a laugh when you get bored of a long run and you find the necessary printers.
