Tips

 * Acrid's Vicious Wounds attack animation can be cancelled and reset by initiating a dash. This allows Acrid to attack extremely quickly with no items. In Development Thoughts #11 it was noted this behavior will likely get removed.
 * Acrid's Poison can't kill on its own.
 * This makes items such as rocket launchers, drones, and any other on hits incredibly good.
 * Poisoning the boss or bosses via Neurotoxin and Epidemic and then running away is a great tactic as it will tick for the same damage while you're running.

Trivia

 * The achievement necessary to unlock Acrid, "...To be left alone" is a reference to Acrid's victory screen from the first Risk of Rain, which reads "...And so it left, with a new hunger: to be left alone."
