The difference in consumable drop rates will be felt if you’ve been reliant on them before now.
Shadow
The Shadow’s unique movement style means they havefewer skills that translate to learning other characters.
Hersimilar playstyle to the chainmasterdoes make her a good learning choice.
The chain master’s unique ability is tospin enemies from one side of them to the other.
It can be used when enemies are on both sides, swapping their positions.
Itcannot be used while standing on an edgeor next to a heavy enemy.
The chain master has two starting tilesets that can both make use of the swap toss.
The meteor hammer has a very high cooldown.
You’ll be left vulnerable between your attacks.
Your starting damage is limited.
You’ll often rely on the swap toss to make early enemies kill each other.
The third unlockable tileset gives you two random tiles.
This is difficult to plan around but will sometimes give you effective tools.
When choosing routes,prioritise warring and combo stores.
Dancer upgrades are the least useful, as most of them provide minimal bonuses to your swap toss.
Thecombo recharge skill lets youuse this attack frequently even with a long cooldown.
Both attacks can reliably activate it.
Perfect Strike is an alternate upgrade path for the meteor hammer.
Freeze upgrades are another strong option for preventing damage but won’t work against later bosses.
