Tips[edit | edit source]
- Items that increase your damage or attack speed are invaluable on Loader, especially on-hit items which deal bonus total damage. In combination with her Charged Gauntlet, items such as
Ukulele...and his music was electric.
25% chance to fire chain lightning for 80% TOTAL damage on up to 3 (+2 per stack) targets within 20m (+2m per stack). andKjaro's BandHigh damage hits also blasts enemies with a runic flame tornado. Recharges over time.
Hits that deal more than 400% damage also blasts enemies with a runic flame tornado, dealing 300% (+300% per stack) TOTAL damage over time. Recharges every 10 seconds. substantially increase her damage output. - While higher attack speed is useful for filling up your Scrap Barrier quickly and dealing damage with procs, be mindful that your primary attack will knock smaller enemies away from you with every hit. With higher attack speed values, your DPS may suffer simply because enemies are constantly being pushed back beyond the Loader's reach. Non-issue against larger enemies or bosses.
- Knuckleboom briefly stuns and knocks back lighter enemies such as Lemurians, Beetles, Imps, and Hermit Crabs.
- Grapple Fist & Spiked Fist only go on cooldown if the attack connects with an enemy or terrain; if not, it reels back in and is immediately ready for re-use. (Possibly a bug: hitting an enemy at the very limit of Spiked Fist's range will not proc the grappling effect or start the cooldown, but will still deal damage.)
- You can charge up and release Charged Gauntlet while you're attached to something by Grapple Fist or Spiked Fist. Use this to gain damage when using Charged Gauntlet, as its damage is increased by the Loader's movement speed. On top of dealing massive amounts of damage, it can also allow you to cover great distances very quickly.
- Release Charged Gauntlet at the apex of Grapple Fist's trajectory (when you start going upwards) to maintain maximum momentum when trying to go far.
- When attached to something with Grapple Fist or Spiked Fist, repeatedly toggling sprint can both rapidly increase Loader's movement speed and/or swinging radius (distance between loader and what she's attached to). The swinging radius can extend infinitely, being limited only by the boundaries of the map.
- Like Artificer's Charged Nano-Bomb, Loader can sprint while charging up Charged Gauntlet by toggling sprint after beginning the charge.
- You can make Loader move faster while using Knuckleboom by pressing the sprint key between the attacks.
