@@valentinzarate700 I thought so, but some of his alt's make me very happy lol, I'll talk about it more in his video but in short I feel underwhelmed by commando in every other game, but I quite like him in Returns
@@whispers8888I feel like commando is only good in risk of rain 2. In the other games it feels like playing im playing on monsoon x5 cuz commando is a dumpster fire
pilot caught me by surprise when i noticed hes basically 2 different characters in 1, you either play his base with the unique airborne playstyle or play his alt for commando but fun, and i legit cant pick 1 like cmon they're both awesome
Can't forget one of the best parts of his alt dash. If you hit a wall while using it you can climb up and down the wall it doesn't last forever but it lasts for a good chuck of time. It's super handy for getting out of some situations or getting to secret areas that might normally be harder to reach.
Really helpful and entertaining! Pilots mobility has made him my defacto brain off relaxing character helps when they control like butter. Im still a commando enjoyer however.
Honestly I find the grounded kit works better with the standard bombs, the I frames and quick dash make you basically uncornerable, especially since you can use the aerial version to run through them instead while still keeping tge invulnerability
at the start of the intro with pilot i was saying to myself, "how cool would it be if we could play him" and boom, here we are, my new favorite survivor for the rest of time
Love your editing style, and the little references at the start of each video. Honestly if you did guides on how to beat the final providence trail for each character, I would definitely watch it.
Pilot might be my favorite survivor, unfortunately i prefer the alt loadout, and aerobatics has a tendency to glitch through walls and get me stuck there, had it happen on the final stage. Also you should get a pair of round sunglasses to complete your transformation into Ozzy Osbourne.
what are the odds I already own a couple pairs XD I used to prefer main, but in the short time between this video and one that's going up in about an hour (render/upload times and whatnot) I'm very much an alt lad now
2 somewhat important notes for the alt dash: You can freely move on the wall you grab on for 5 seconds, after which you will slowly slide downwards, but for pure traversal 5 seconds are more than enough to go over any wall YOU CAN SHOOT WHILE GRABBING A WALL, this seems like a gimmick at first but it's basically invincibility and free damage against the majority of the bosses, and while losing the parachute does hurt when facing Providence, you can still just dodge all his attacks normally and get free hits with target acquired
I really love these guides and would lobe too see this as a series. Quick informative and insightful. 10/10 Putting in my request for miner because ive got no clue how to play her
Damn this video drastically changed my perspective on pilot. Initially I thought he was pretty neat but not too special. Now he's up there with sniper as one of my most played survivors
There's a wavedash tech you can do with aerobatics by jumping, holding straight down, and dashing into the ground right before making contact with it, If you do it properly you can dash across the entire map in seconds, I've found you keep the momentum better by constantly hopping, and you must hold straight down the entire time for it to work properly. I've been playing around with it and my runs have gotten MUCH faster, so much time saved and situations avoided. This could be excellent in speedruns.
first time i played him i realized his base kit MELTS through teleporters like butter the fact that target acquired can multi hit magma worm wipes out half of its health plus damaging enemies bellow and is and incredibly safe option to do mid air also you forgot to mention airstrike gives some insane invincibility
Great guide! If you were to make more for other survivors, would love to see a section where you talk about what items work well for that particular survivor
I generally try to avoid item discussion to avoid bloating the video size, and because it's highly dependant on alts used and playstyle, but I do actually have some item centric videos that may help and I may start working a brief version into future videos, I'll see what I can do for ya :3
I had this one run with tons of crit, afterburner and the wicked ring. After I hit a mountain shrine on loop, a dozen of vagrants spawned, and I proceeded to have the coolest freaking dogfight with them. Parachute - unload like 6 stacks of secondary - another utility, and so on. legit flew for like the whole 90 seconds. Coolest shit in the game so far
if you tilt his dash down and dash just before hitting the ground, you obviously wavedash. but if you do that and dash out of a LEDGE, you're sent flying across the map. pilot has fucking insane mobility.
Yo great video, I've played a decent amount of 2. And am loving this so far. Mind if i ask if you have any tips for loader? Any would be greatly appreciated.
I saw wavedash video first and then decided to check this one out as well. Those first 10 seconds made my evening ) But yeah, Pilot's alts definitely sacrifice a ton of cc, alt 4 feels kinda meh so far because of how multi-functional original one is, but maybe I just didn't find the way to make it work yet Btw, the different achievement unlock rewards compared to ror1 were a very fun surprise for me ) Seeing Huntress available by default made me wonder for a se what's up with 15 logs achievement and when I got Pilot it felt awesome )
Thank you for checking out our other stuff! There's more if you'd like to stay :) For alt 4 I suggest tagging a boss and trying to get it to overlap the crowd whether that be by getting it to follow the crowd or the crowd to follow you over it, you'll get solid damage on all of them and it can really be helpful, though I often miss the lil bounces cuz they're very nice. And I felt the same way, seeing some familiar unlocks then some changed ones were really cool, it's like seeing risk 1 the way it was always envisioned to be and then some.
Emergency Ejection is really hard, feels way harder than other trials. And after getting all the alt abilities I still much prefer base Pilot. Great video! Also Titan Fall 2 Viper line in intro?
Hey man, firstly just wanted to say I love the vid! It's extremely well-made, but if I may give a suggestion, having quiet background music to go with your commentary I think would help a lot. Other than that, great stuff!
FELLOW RISK ONE ACRID MAIN :D Absolutely lol, got him and will start working on that one next, was a toss up between him and Miner to do next so thanks for the help deciding XD
I plan to do each survivor, and then possibly an overarching guide on how to do better in the game as a whole, though commando will include a lot of that info as well. Hopefully by the time I'm done the series acts as a good way for anyone to get into risk of rain returns and excel in whatever character catches their eye
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question or has already been answered but is there any way to unlock aerobatics without doing the providence trials? I want to use the ability but I'm really struggling with the trial
I think it really shines on bosses, follows them and hits all the ads that are close, but I also really love me them mine bounces, especially while overclocking/aerodashing
@@whispers8888 yeah 1200% damage is pretty good I wish it did something special in the air, even if it was just target below you. Whiffing it by a pixel feels bad with the longer CD

I love how you can essentially turn pilot into a better commando
commando but strapped to an F22 jet engine lmao
commando 2: now whit whey
Am I the only one that feels commando is a bit undepowered compared to the rest of the characters?

yup! The climb is very nice, despite how often I forget to use it 😅
I wasn't ready for the Titanfall speech at the start :D
Viper IS a pilot
Very pleasant surprise
i played celeste literally days before risk of rain returns came out, so the pilot obstacle course wasn't too much of a problem
the skies belong to me. no where to run, no where to hide. We love Viper!!!
This was a really well made guide. Can't wait to see one on Han-D, been struggling with him
Thank you! Han-D was a tricky one for me back in RoR1 so I'm looking forward to properly learning him for this series
Really helpful and entertaining! Pilots mobility has made him my defacto brain off relaxing character helps when they control like butter. Im still a commando enjoyer however.
Noone mentioned it
So i will
Welcome back pilot, vipers on station
Protocol 3 something or other
is that a titanfall thing ?
@@Kywu yes, the intro to the video was a reference to Viper from Titanfall 2.
Fantastic game.
For a channel with under 500 subs, this is one of the best guides I've ever seen
You're too kind fren! Thank you, I went from barely getting comments to not being able to keep up with all of you kind folks in a DAY and it's amazing
sick guide, hope to see you drop more for the rest of the cast !
Honestly I find the grounded kit works better with the standard bombs, the I frames and quick dash make you basically uncornerable, especially since you can use the aerial version to run through them instead while still keeping tge invulnerability
Also, without being able to hover, I also like being able to knock the enemy into the air so you can juggle them with your secondary.
aerobatics being able to wavedash is the best part about this game
Putting up another video here shortly showing how insane it can get, you can crossmap with no items if you time it right and I LOVE it
Yo that is nuts, can’t wait to learn that
at the start of the intro with pilot i was saying to myself, "how cool would it be if we could play him" and boom, here we are, my new favorite survivor for the rest of time
You got a new sub just found your chanel but keen for more risk or rain returns vids! Love the character guides keep it up man!!
I LOVE PILOT M2 I LIVE FOR NUKING THE MAGMA WORMS
This is a really good video i was surprised you didn't have more subs. Thanks!
Great tutorial, I look forward to the rest of this series!
absolutelly loved the titanfall 2 reference on the intro❤, epic video as well, common viper enjoyer W.
Can't believe they added viper Titanfall to risk of rain returns
and yet we STILL don't have TF3 😭🤣
@@whispers8888 look. another day another hit of that sweet sweet hopeum for the rest of forever amiright?
This video popped into my feed and you immediately got me to subscribe with the Titanfall reference in the intro I fuckin love it here already
tbh i couldn't figure pilot out on my first play but seeing the uses laid out like this really helped-and tbh im probably going to forgo the parachute
Happy to be of assistance! I've done the same since learning some of the tech with the dash, pretty insane stuff
Youre the goat, hope you channel blows up from here!
I just got the game a few days ago, but Pilot is the character I’ve played the most. They’re just a ton of fun.
The tutorial is really good and there is not much rorr content, thanks for putting this out there.
Thank you! I'm happy people seem to really be liking it :D
Love your editing style, and the little references at the start of each video. Honestly if you did guides on how to beat the final providence trail for each character, I would definitely watch it.
I was thinking of doing those at some point, they're definitely a fun challenge and I'd like to complete it for each character
Great video! Good overview of the character and great video structure. Would be cool to see some guides on other characters as well!
Thanks so much! Given how well this one went I'm spending all of tomorrow working on more! XD
Sounds great! Cant wait to see it.
Pilot might be my favorite survivor, unfortunately i prefer the alt loadout, and aerobatics has a tendency to glitch through walls and get me stuck there, had it happen on the final stage.

Additionally, you fire around 30% faster when latched onto a wall for whatever reason
Super dope video, I would love to see more vids from you!
Thank you! And good timing cuz there's one coming up in about an hour! (Assuming scheduled uploaded doesn't screw me XD)
Fire video, subbed!
Don't sell yourself short, great tutorial keep up the content!
I really love these guides and would lobe too see this as a series. Quick informative and insightful. 10/10
Putting in my request for miner because ive got no clue how to play her
boy do I have some good news for you :p
czcams.com/video/_vd4fl6z07w/video.html
I love the way you present your guide. Please make more videos!
Will do fren!

yep, I refer you to my pinned comment 😜
ngl pilots' visual design goes so hard, I think I might prefer him to even commando in style
first time i played him i realized his base kit MELTS through teleporters like butter the fact that target acquired can multi hit magma worm wipes out half of its health plus damaging enemies bellow and is and incredibly safe option to do mid air also you forgot to mention airstrike gives some insane invincibility
Very good video! Love your voice

I really love this character, with the parachute haha
Me watching this video while i beat the game first try using pilot : i need to understand more
I always forget that aerobatics can be used to climb walls I just use it for the wavedashing and the funny slides lol
Pilot is such a fun survivor
Sick dude thanks!
love the titanfall reference

Im not gonna sugarcoat it… Shift + Right click x2
Oh hey a video I’ve never seen before and is completely new to me. Based.
oh yeah, totally not something you saw made live on a streaming site called twitch, I totally don't also do stuff there ;)
@@whispers8888 nah I never go to www.twitch.tv/systemofwhispers and I never watch the streams on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 7pm EST.
Good tutorial. Keep em' coming.
my favorite boy!!!!! thanks for the video! really hope he's added in ror2 😁
if Pilot is added to RoR2 I will LOSE MY MIND
if you tilt his dash down and dash just before hitting the ground, you obviously wavedash. but if you do that and dash out of a LEDGE, you're sent flying across the map. pilot has fucking insane mobility.
Nice Titanfall reference
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
The skies belong to me >:D
solid af my man
God, Vipers voice acting gives me chills
fun fact, that was me in the beginning! Do some VA stuff on occasion as a hobbyist ^^
great tutorial, thanks
No no, this is great. Also, great hair bruv.
honestly great fuckin video man, excited to unlock the boy asap (sadly no access to my game atm)
Yo great video, I've played a decent amount of 2. And am loving this so far. Mind if i ask if you have any tips for loader? Any would be greatly appreciated.

Pilot is S tier simply because he can deal with those damn pesky birds and wasps

Man this was great. Be cool if you made a mercenary one next... he's my favorite but i kinda suck.
The plan is to unlock every character and make one for them all, I'll see if I can give merc some priority! Love my laser sword boi ^^
getting the parry alt ability made merc 9000% more fun and effective given it's huge damage and aoe
Amazing tutorial, thanks
Thank you ^.^
i love pilot because you can juggle enemies in the air smokin sexy style
Emergency Ejection is really hard, feels way harder than other trials. And after getting all the alt abilities I still much prefer base Pilot. Great video! Also Titan Fall 2 Viper line in intro?

Very good guides 👍 Wish there was one for engineer aswell even thou he is pretty easy to play lul
Engi soon :3, I do polls to decide which character gets their guide next
Yo nice video. Can you do acrid? Thats my main across all ror games lmao
FELLOW RISK ONE ACRID MAIN :D
Absolutely lol, got him and will start working on that one next, was a toss up between him and Miner to do next so thanks for the help deciding XD
no problem man, loving the ror series@@whispers8888
Fun thing to remember pilot can shoot while holding on to walls.
*slowly adds Risk of Rain Returns to my Steam wishlist*
The game seems hella fun and I really wanna give it a try!
Indeed
A commando guide would be good. He’s tue only character I’m using and I’m trash lol
Great vid! But maybe add some background music? Feels kinda quiet and eerie, otherwise, great
you're too kind fren! Thank you ^^
I really hope this guy is added to risk of rain 2
Question, how did you wave dash with Aerobatics? I tried to do it a few ways but could not manage to do it
Are you going to do How to Play each player? And how to go from Drizzle to Monsoon in skills?
I plan to do each survivor, and then possibly an overarching guide on how to do better in the game as a whole, though commando will include a lot of that info as well. Hopefully by the time I'm done the series acts as a good way for anyone to get into risk of rain returns and excel in whatever character catches their eye
500th sub for you man! Nice balls- I mean videoAaaa😊😊
Amazing!!!
PLEEEASE do acrid/miner next. Ive been wanting to know whats new about them
workin on Acrid right now actually! :D Love my plague doggo
pilot is my favorite character before the gourmet
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question or has already been answered but is there any way to unlock aerobatics without doing the providence trials? I want to use the ability but I'm really struggling with the trial
yep! the alternate unlock method is to collect 300 items as pilot, so basically just...play him a ton and you'll eventually get it
Pilot alts all seem amazing. Except the alt Air strike. Rapid fire vs clusterseems like a personal preference. Aerobatics > Parachute though IMO
I think it really shines on bosses, follows them and hits all the ads that are close, but I also really love me them mine bounces, especially while overclocking/aerodashing
@@whispers8888 yeah 1200% damage is pretty good I wish it did something special in the air, even if it was just target below you. Whiffing it by a pixel feels bad with the longer CD
oh yeah, what items do you use with him?
Good spoiler alert :)
Can you do a similar video with the engineer?
planning to do every character as time passes, Engi is now on the list of requests ;)
make one for drifter !
Tbh pilots Airstrike is like Diablo from ror 2 but smaller and weaker
"How to play Pilot"
Step 1: Use your default Utility
Step 2: Weeee!
For video engagement
Please do How to play arrificer :(
step 1: pick another survivor
considering he's an unlock, technically correct! XD
piolot is just better commando
Now do a robomando video
Nice
Can you do sniper?
Absolutely! Plan to do em all when I can, rn the order list is looking like
Acrid
Miner
Merc
Sniper
Just added sniper to the list on your request :)
