Rasputin — The Mad Mercenary

A knife-throwing Russian mercenary for Risk of Rain 2. Stick knives in your enemies, then rip them all out at once. Brings Counter-Strike utility to the Planet: flashbangs, molotovs, smoke and C4. Every stage starts with a case opening.

"They say he cannot be killed. They say a lot of things. He says nothing, flips his knife, and opens another case."

Core mechanic: Embed and Rip

Thrown knives, kunai and shurikens Embed in the enemies they hit, up to 10 per enemy, and you can see them sticking out. Certain attacks Rip every embedded knife back out, each one dealing heavy damage.

Passive: Case Opening

Once per stage a CS-style case roulette spins at the bottom of your screen. You get a Common, Rare or Legendary bonus for the whole stage, and your knives change finish to match. Several skills get stronger with a better case.

Skills

Slot	Skill	What it does
Primary	Karambit	3-hit combo; the hook finisher Rips all embedded knives
Primary	Kunai	Thrown kunai that Embed; the first throw after a pause always crits
Secondary	Shuriken Fan	Homing shurikens that Embed; more of them with a better case
Secondary	Flashbang	Stuns enemies looking at it; Flashed enemies take crits from everyone
Secondary	Molotov	A fire pool that burns and ignites
Utility	Flip Dash	Dash where you aim, up included, and throw knives that Embed
Utility	Smoke Grenade	A smoke cloud that cloaks your team and slows enemies inside
Special	Butterfly Execution	Lock on, blink behind, flurry, then a backstab that Rips and executes low-health enemies
Special	Russian Roulette	Gamble: a click resets your cooldowns, a bang costs health. A Legendary case loads a golden round

All skills are unlocked from the start.
