'''Seeker''' is a playable [[Survivors|character]], unlocked by default in the {{SotS}}'''[[Seekers of the Storm]]''' expansion.

Utilizing spiritual forces and tranquility, The Seeker's strength is her ability to heal - or sometimes revive - her allies, providing powerful support while also able to stand her ground against powerful enemies.

The Seeker is immediately unlockable after buying the Seekers of the Storm DLC.

| notes    = 
* {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} stacks are obtained by successfully completing the Quick Time Event when using {{Color|seeker|Meditate}} or by successfully hitting three entities with a single {{Color|u|Palm Blast}} .
* Only 6 stacks of {{Color|u|Tranquility}} can be obtained. The 7th grants {{StatusEffectLink|Saving Grace}}, which does not directly enhance {{Color|seeker|Seeker's}} skills; however, it boosts all stats by 7% and therefore indirectly buffs her attacks. {{StatusEffectLink|Saving Grace}} will automatically {{Keyword|u|Revive}} {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} once per stage, so long as she has reached 7th {{Color|u|Tranquility}} prior to her death.

*Every hit {{StatusEffectLink|Slow50|slows}} the target.
*The third hit gains 50% more damage for each stack of {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}}, making it 600% at 6 stacks.
*The first two hits go through terrain, allowing her to hit enemies from behind cover.
*Each shot has an effective range of 54m before expiring. The final hit explodes in a 7m radius with [[Damage#Damage Falloff|no falloff]] regardless of whether it has collided with an enemy, so it can still damage nearby monsters.

* Each orb can hit 11 times before expiring, with the final hit dealing 200% damage.
** Each stack of {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} grants two more hits per orb before expiring, capping out at 23 hits.
* Each orb grants 3% barrier on hit.
** Each stack of {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} grants 1% more barrier, capping out at 9% barrier on hit.
* Up to 6 orbs can be cast at a time. Casting after reaching max stacks will spin the orbs.
** At max spin speed, the orbs deal up to +50% damage.
** Ease in: 0.5s, Boost: 3s, Ease out: 1.0s

{{SkillType|Utility|
{{Skill
| name     = Sojourn
| type     = Utility
| cooldown = 8s
| proc     = 1.0
| notes    = 
* {{Keyword|d|Stunning}}.
*After a grace period of 1.8 seconds, {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} takes 5% of her max health as damage every 0.2 seconds. This is further decreased by her natural armor and any other damage-reduction method, particularly {{ItemLink|Repulsion Armor Plate}}. This can make {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} flight much safer in a similar way to reducing the self-damaging effects of {{ItemLink|Helfire Tincture}}.
**The damage is dealt relative to {{Color|seeker|Seeker's}} Base HP + Level HP, ignoring shields, barrier, or any other health-increasing items.
**If {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} ever drops below 15% of max health after the grace period, she will immediately exit {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}.
*After the grace period, the blast damage increases by 500% every second.
*The blast radius initially starts at 5m and grows hyperbolically towards 20m. Both of these values are increased by 0.5m and 1.5m respectively for each {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} stack. The final blast radius is 110% of what the previous value is at that moment in time when Seeker exits the mode.
*After the grace period, every second of flight cuts your healing by 10% until 10 seconds of flight, at which point you receive 0% healing from all sources. The game will always round it to 1, but no health is actually gained. This means that after a certain point, items that reduce, mitigate, or otherwise negate damage will be the only viable methods of extending {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}.
*While in {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}, you can not activate your [https://riskofrain2.fandom.com/wiki/Items#Equipment equipment] under any circumstances (even if {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} has a {{ItemLink|Gesture of the Drowned}} in her inventory).
*{{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} can end prematurely if the player collides with any terrain.
* While in {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}, you are {{StatusEffectLink|SojournVehicle|immune to damage}} from most damages, even including the [[Void Fog]] and the implosion effects of {{MonsterFamily|Void}} monsters.
** Two notable exceptions to this is {{ItemLink|Warped Echo|Delayed Damage}} and the Voidling's [[Voidling#Special: Nullifier Black Hole|Nullifier Black Hole]].
** Unlike Mercenary's {{StatusEffectLink|Hidden Invincibility}}, this immunity also includes [[Interactables]] that cost health, such as [[Shrine of Blood]], [[Void Cradle]] and [[Void Potential]]. 
* Similar to most mobility skills, when using {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}, {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} is considered to be 'sprinting', this creates some strong synergies with certain sprint based items.
** {{ItemLink|Rose Buckler}} will reduce some of the self-inflicted damage due to the armor it grants.
** {{ItemLink|Little Disciple}} can still fire tracking wisps throughout the duration of the ability.
* {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} has a strong synergy with {{ItemLink|Razorwire}} due to the rapidly inflicted self-damage.
** This is further enhanced when using the alternate secondary skill, {{Color|seeker|Soul Spiral}}, allowing {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} to prolong the duration of {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} due to the [[Health#Barrier|barrier]] provided on each orb hit.

{{SkillType|Special|
{{Skill

| type     = Special
| cooldown = 14s
| proc     = 1.0
| notes    = 
*The player gets 5 seconds to correctly input 5 keys. Failing an input decreases the available time by 1s and failing the entire sequence causes the skill to be put on an additional 5s cooldown, regardless of any cooldown reductions.
*Upon activation, the player is suspended in air (pausing all motion) and granted 25% of max health as barrier (not counting any shields). If the max health is lower than 115, {{Color|seeker|Seeker's}} base health, it is set to that instead. The max health value used will be referred to as ''healingValue''.
*When the inputs have been successfully completed, any allies in a 12m radius are healed by 4% of ''healingValue''. This is increased by 4% for each additional {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} stack, for a maximum of 32% at 6 stacks.
*Upon completion, monsters within a 12m radius are also hit for 450% base damage. This is increased by 200% for each additional {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} stack, for a maximum of 1650% at 6 stacks.
*Upon any successful completion of {{Color|seeker|Meditate}} after 7 stacks of {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} have been reached, any dead players are {{Color|h|Revived}}, while any living ones are granted {{StatusEffectLink|Saving Grace}}, which boosts all stats by 7%.
**Once this effect has been used on each player, it cannot be used again until {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} completes the process anew on a subsequent stage.
**Each player can be {{Color|h|revived}} via this method once per stage. 
**A player's ability to be {{Color|h|revived}} is independent of other players.
*The color of the petals in the UI at the bottom right of the screen are a shade of transparent gold for each {{Color|u|Tranquility}} level attained. Once the 7th {{Color|u|Tranquility}} has been obtained and the power to {{Color|h|Revive}} allies and bless them with {{Color|h|Saving Grace}} has been reached, a green flash of energy in the shape of blooming Lotus Blossom petals bursts forth from {{Color|seeker|Seeker}}. {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} can be revived by her passive ability after this point, and any subsequent use of {{Color|seeker|Meditate}} will {{Color|h|Revive}} dead allies who are eligible for {{Color|h|Revive}}.
**If {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} is revived, she retains any {{Color|u|Tranquility}} stacks she had prior to death. This allows her to completely negate a team wipe by passively reviving herself, then using {{Color|seeker|Meditate}} to respawn the entire team.

== Behaviors==
''For an explanation of how these behaviors are implemented, read about [[Enemy AI]]. This section only applies when the character is controlled by AI.'' 

#'''Use special''': Seeker must be within 20m from an ally and be aiming at it. This behavior lasts for 2 seconds and cannot be selected twice in a row. This is currently bugged and cannot be selected because the AI does not properly update whether the ally is in line of sight, even if they are.
#'''Use utility''': Seeker must be within 6m from the target. Since Seeker jumps in the air at the beginning of the attack, the direction of Sojourn will be downwards and unless the player reacts extremely quick to gain some space, it will explode shortly after.
#'''Use secondary''': Seeker must be within 30m from the target and be aiming at it.
#'''Use primary and strafe''': Seeker must be within 20m from the target.
#'''Use primary and chase''': No requirements, but due to the previous behavior it will only be selected if Seeker is at least 20m away from the target.

==Tips==  
*{{Color|seeker|Seeker}} is one of the better candidates for the {{ItemLink|Focus Crystal}}, as {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}, {{Color|seeker|Soul Spiral}}, and {{Color|seeker|Meditate}} all have relatively short range, allowing for immediate and effective payoff with higher stacks.  
**Because of the aforementioned short ranges of her attacks, {{Color|seeker|Seeker}} also benefits greatly from the {{ItemLink|Frost Relic}} and {{ItemLink|Unstable Tesla Coil}}, which when paired with the Focus Crystal can deliver high amounts of damage at short ranges.
*{{ItemLink|Primordial Cube}} pairs great with {{Color|seeker|Unseen Hand}}, allowing for a large amount of enemies to be hit; this is enhanced with the {{ArtifactLink|Kin}}, {{ArtifactLink|Swarms}}, and {{ArtifactLink|Soul}} where multiple weak enemies can be present. 
** Additionally, {{Color|seeker|Unseen Hand}} will always trigger {{ItemLink|Kjaro's Band}}, allowing for even more potential AoE damage.
*The movement speed while using {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} is not affected by movement speed items. Instead it is based on your current health, moving faster at full health and slower at low health.
*Due to the way {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} calculates damage taken, HP-increasing items, such as {{ItemLink|Infusion}} and {{ItemLink|Bison Steak}}, are particularly useful as they can extend the amount of time you can spend during flight while taking the same amount of damage. 
**{{ItemLink|Shaped Glass}} should be avoided, as it will greatly reduce the length of time you can continuously use {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} (the damage you take is the exact same, but your HP is halved).
**{{ItemLink|Transcendence}} in particular causes the ability to end as soon as the 1.8s grace period is up, due to the 1hp meeting the automatic ability end threshold.
*Items such as {{ItemLink|Razorwire}}, {{ItemLink|Tougher Times}}, {{ItemLink|Weeping Fungus}}, {{ItemLink|Repulsion Armor Plate}}, and {{ItemLink|Planula}} synergize very well with the {{Color|seeker|Sojourn's}} self-damaging ability, as they let her deal more damage while taking less.
**Taking less damage is more important than healing here because {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} ends when reaching a low health threshold (15% of survivor hp), so prolonging the duration of the skill allows to make use of its mobility for longer, as well as build up more damage which is dealt when exiting the state.
***Since healing is reduced by 10% every second, all healing sources eventually have no effect and damage reduction becomes the only method to further extend the flight duration.
*Since {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} ignores all sources of damage, one can use it to fly through a [[Shrine of Blood]], for example, and activate it in-mid flight to negate its health cost. 
**The same can be done for [[Void Cradle|Void Cradles]], which can also be timed to exit {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} as soon as any {{MonsterLink|Void Infestor|Void Infestors}} come out to instantly kill them.
*{{Color|seeker|Seeker}} should avoid using {{ItemLink|Goobo Jr.}}, as the gummy Seeker spawned from it tends to use {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} for far longer than it should, resulting in it dying far faster than it does on other survivors.
*Seeker's {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} synergizes quite well with her {{Color|seeker|Soul Spiral}}, as they do not expire upon entering {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}. If done skillfully enough, the player can effectively remain in {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} so long as {{Color|seeker|Soul Spiral's}} orbs are present, as the barrier production outspeeds the damage intake from {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}}.
*It is important to use {{Color|seeker|Meditate}} as soon as it is on cooldown since {{StatusEffectLink|Tranquility}} can massively enhance her damage, while {{StatusEffectLink|Saving Grace}} can also act as a single-use {{ItemLink|Power Elixir}} once per stage.

==Sojourn vs Repulsion Armor Plate==
The following table details (in two columns) the number of {{ItemLink|Repulsion Armor Plate}} stacks needed to mitigate {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} damage to the minimum value of 1 and below the 2.5% {{StatusEffectLink|Permanent Curse}} threshold of [[Alternate Game Modes#Eclipse|Eclipse 8]] respectively. This assumes no other armor- and health-modifying factors other than Seeker's natural 20 armor are in play.

Keep in mind some of these stack amounts can be slightly superfluous, for example at Level 2 {{Color|seeker|Sojourn}} deals 1.21 damage per tick with 1 stack, so obtaining a second repulsion armor plate to only mitigate 0.21 damage per tick leads to a reduction overkill. However at Level 4 where it deals ~9 damage, the second stack almost gains full value.
