Build Guide

Master Risk of Rain 2 with optimized builds and item synergies. Learn which items work best together and how to maximize each survivor's potential.

On-Hit Proc Builds

Stack attack speed items like Soldier's Syringe with on-hit effects like Ukulele, ATG Missile, and Sticky Bomb. Best on fast-attacking survivors like Commando, Huntress, and MUL-T. The more hits per second, the more procs you trigger.

On-Kill Chain Builds

Combine Will-o'-the-wisp, Gasoline, and Ceremonial Dagger for devastating chain reactions. When one enemy dies, the explosions and daggers can clear entire screens. Add a Frost Relic for even more on-kill AoE damage.

Tank & Sustain Builds

Stack Tougher Times, Harvester's Scythe, and Infusion for survivability. Add a Rejuvenation Rack to double all healing. Perfect for melee survivors like Loader and Mercenary who need to stay in the fight.

Equipment Abuse Builds

Stack Fuel Cells and Gesture of the Drowned to rapidly cycle equipment. Pair with Royal Capacitor for constant lightning strikes, or Disposable Missile Launcher for nonstop missile barrages. Requires specific lunar items but creates some of the strongest builds possible.
