![]() The best part of this ability is that it will pull enemies towards the center and hold them there, allowing Rex to easily land his other abilities like Seed Barrage, and burst down any enemy trapped within Tangling Growth’s AOE. This is a large AOE ability that costs a significant portion of your health, 25%, but also roots and life steals enemies hit by the attack. Rex’s Special: Tangling Growthįinally, we come to Rex’s special ability, Tangling Growth. If you don’t you can’t call yourself a plant-boy main. Sure, it costs 20% of your health, but it does more damage than most of Rex’s other abilities and heals you for the damage it does do, which makes up for the initial health cost anyway.Īlways go for Bramble Volley. On the other-hand, Bramble Volley does everything Disperse does but with extra damage and a heal. Disperse is literally a burp that propels Rex in the opposite direction of where he is facing, and by propel I mean it scoots him a lil bit. Rex’s main utility skill is incredibly bad, to the point of hilarity. If this guide was made pre-Hidden Realms I would have probably skipped this section or just labeled it irrelevant. Seed Barrage is superior in most situations so I recommend staying with it. That being said, it lasts much longer than Seed Barrage and doesn’t cost any health, so for those who prefer sustained damage and would rather not juggle their health. Although, you do have to be careful as it does take 15% of your health every time you cast it which means you only get a few casts before you are on the brink of death.ĭirective: Drill has a much higher cooldown at six seconds. As you can see by the image above, it has borderline zero cooldown, meaning you can spam it freely. Rex has two secondary abilities to choose from, Seed Barrage and Directive: Drill, each with their own pros and cons. Rex Secondary: Seed Barrage & Directive Drill The projectiles don’t fire immediately and have been buffed in previous patches to fire quicker but it sill takes a while to reach an enemy so you could easily miss depending on how far you are away from said enemy. So technically, if you hit an enemy with all three, you will have a 150% chance of proccing (not exactly but I’m not a stat guy okay?). The ability fires three projectiles for 80% damage each with a. Free Shattering Justice anyone? Rex Primary: Directive Injectĭirective Inject is Rex’s primary attack and is his main form of health regeneration and the primary way for him to deliver his weakens attack. Natural Toxins reduces armor by 30 and damage/move speed by 40%. It covers how this affects enemies in Risk of Rain 2 and why it is super good from a damage standpoint. To be honest, it is weird to call it a passive considering that it only works on some abilities, but whatever. Natural Toxins is a passive on-hit effect that applies to some of his abilities. ![]() This will be an overview of most of them but I already have the best loadout for Rex so if you would rather just get the setup without the explanation go there. Rex has several abilities in his kit and has several loadout options available. His weakens and the fact he can pump out mucho damage with super spammable abilities make him the de-facto champ of the early game in ror2. Now, he can control his health a bit better (more on this later) but you still need to be careful about how much damage you are dealing to yourself compared to how much you are healing.Īll of this being said, Rex has the highest early game DPS of every survivor in Risk of Rain 2. If you get below 90% health you will no longer be protected by one-shot protection, which is the main reason Rex wasn’t a top tier survivor in previous patches. This makes Rex one of those survivors that constantly requires resource management to be played to his full capacity. The trade-off to this is that his other abilities cost his health to use. Although, he can’t really help his team other than the debuff. Not to mention, weakens (basically armor reduction), increases damage for everyone in the game, so Rex is actually an extremely powerful support survivor in Risk of Rain 2. In Monsoon difficulty, you basically have no regen, so any way of getting health is worth its weight in gold. ![]() Pretty simple.įor those who don’t know, healing is pretty important in Risk of Rain 2. I’ll save this for the next section when we go over his abilities in full, but basically, Rex’s primary attack will heal him for the damage it deals and reduce the armor of enemies hit. You see, with many of Rex’s abilities he can heal when he hits an enemy. However, Rex has one thing every other character lacks, the ability to heal himself and debuff enemies. Rex isn’t much different than most of the survivors in Risk of Rain 2, I mean, all they do is point and shoot (or punch in Loader’s case).
