D-4 before Early Access release! Let's talk about the characters.

Hey fellow outlaws,

It’s D-4 before the EA release so let’s continue our streak of presentation. Let’s continue with our oldest member yet: Nigel!

“For his entire life, Nigel has followed the path of justice. Often he would come to the aid of anyone who needed it. During his younger years, he was acclaimed as a hero of the people and would often receive rewards for his courage. Those rewards, he would of course share them with those in need. After years of adventures, Nigel settled in a small town called Greenhill and quickly became its loveable sheriff. All seemed well but soon whispers and rumors were heard in the valley, dark tales of a man who wanted to take power over the kingdom. Nigel could not let this slide and decided to use the wisdom he had gained over the years to investigate. He eventually confronted the man responsible for these schemes : The undertaker! Unfortunately, Nigel was set up and was left for dead in the desert. He was however saved from the brink of death by natives elves who lived in a nearby hidden village. While he recovered there, he learnt how to use the weapon he now wields : the Sheriffken! Back at full health,he now roams the desert in order to bring true justice to the kingdom.”

Nigel is the tactician archetype of the game, he is often the first character you will unlock and requires a bit more skill to use especially in early game. However he comes with its signature weapon,the Sheriffken, that gives him 5 pierce and boomerang like projectiles as well a malus of minus 40% attack speed. He can overcome that malus during the run and become quite the killing machine though.

Ideally, you should aim for Area of Effect size upgrades as it will also impact the range of its weapon. Other than that, you could go in any direction with him, indeed his tendency for Area of Effect upgrades make him suitable for dash builds and AoE builds and his innate pierce amount make him good with crit builds. Go crazy!

That’s it for today! See you tomorrow to introduce the last member of the cast (for now)!
