Diving into Risk of Rain 2? You'll quickly learn that items are KEY to survival (and achieving godlike power!). This guide offers a quick rundown of navigating the item landscape.
Risk of Rain 2's charm lies in its escalating difficulty and the sheer number of items you can accumulate. Understanding item tiers (Common, Uncommon, Legendary, Lunar, and Equipment) is crucial. Common items provide smaller, incremental buffs, while Legendary items can drastically alter your playstyle.
Don't underestimate Lunar items! They offer powerful effects, but often come with drawbacks, adding a layer of risk to your build.
Experimentation is your best friend! Try different item combinations to discover synergies and find a build that suits your playstyle. Some items stack additively, while others stack multiplicatively, leading to exponential power increases. Learning these interactions is what separates survivors from legends.
Pro-tip: Look for shrines that allow you to trade items! Sometimes sacrificing weaker items for something potentially game-changing can be a great strategy.
Happy looting, and may the odds (and item drops) be ever in your favor!
