REX

REX is one of the playable characters in Risk of Rain 2.

How to Unlock
REX is unlocked by completing the challenge "Power Plant". (Repair the broken robot with an Escape Pod's Fuel Array.)

Tips

 * The Primordial Cube can be particularly effective on REX as you are able to launch it into your Tangling Growth, ensnaring a large number of enemies at once which in-turn massively increases your total healing.
 * Walking backwards, jumping and using DIRECTIVE: Disperse at a downward angle can launch you quite a long distance in a desirable direction.
 * Using Seed Barrage resets the attack cooldown of DIRECTIVE: Inject, allowing you to attack much faster than normal.
 * It is highly recommended that you avoid Transcendence and Wake of Vultures when playing REX as these items can replace your health with Shields, a type of health which cannot be recovered from healing. This can totally cripple REX as his abilities Tangling Growth and Seed Barrage take a percentage of your health, but you are unable to recover any of it by using Tangling Growth or DIRECTIVE: Inject.
