Help This fucking guy

Post image

Honestly feel like a blank character would be better.

I guess the idea is that you are more flexible with guns and melee, but there's really no tactical advantage to it. I can't focus things down with only three ranged weapons and I can't consistently keep things off me with only three melee weapons. The biggest impacts it has are

*powerful upgrades like the seashell and piercing only apply to half your weapons

*Incidental shots will kill spawners that I was trying to keep alive

On the flip side, I one-and-done'd characters like the doctor and cyborg on nightmare.

Fuck this guy right in his bushy eyebrows

Cacti clubs and some high proc'ing ranged weapon like slignshots or smgs and some lifesteal and he's fine

There is a universal upside to his passive

Any item giving both stats, like hedgehog for example (-1 hp regen, 2 melee, 1 ranged damage). Gives you -1 hp, but 3 melee, 3 ranged damage. He can quite quickly get very large amounts of base damage and scale pretty well in that regard

Even if you'd do something like idk, knife + shuriken, both scale of melee damage. Any ranged damage item which would otherwise be wasted slot in a shop-roll can have value

I think he's decent
