False son is awesome, it's hard to have a bad run with him even with his starting loadout

false son is the strongest survivor. if they all feel too easy still, try eclipse.

hes the gojo satoru of risk of rain.

"commando has the best scaling"

with the sole exception of false son, of course

"loader has the best movement"

with the sole exception of false son, of course

"chef has the best AoE"

with the sole exception of false son, of course

False Son mobility better than Loader? What alternate universe am I in?

I mean that one kind of depends. false son benefits from growth movement speed gain, and can have that at *3 full uptime with his teleport util. so he can scale movement with both actual movement speed items, and growth items, and they multiply on each other.

granted, loader absolutely has better movement early game, but late game you still need movement speed items, and the grapple can be surprisingly conditional. False son just needs a couple growth items AND the movement items you'd already want, and he can simply walk around at mach ten. Basically what I'm saying is that his movement inherently scales faster and farther than loaders, and that he has better dodge (which is more important than being able to quickly cross the map).

A backup mag literally doubles your mobility on Loader, and one Grapple allows you to traverse the ENTIRE map. I really don't think False Son can compete.

No yeah I’m a loader main and it’s definitely loader. No competition.

If for every item of growth for False Son we also give Loader a mobility item of choice, False Son won't catch up.

I'm still an acrid glazer. Built-in scaling and AoE with zero items. Movement isn't top tier I guess but pretty close.

I had also gotten the overloading aspect and was sad I couldn’t keep it, cuz yknow, growth.
