Pepsiman

R-Pepsi Man, the Rivals of Aether workshop character, as a Risk of Rain 2 survivor.

Just like in Rivals, he is completely broken: almost no cooldowns, huge damage, a Super meter that unleashes the Super Laser, and an ultimate mode that wipes the map when he dies.

Slot	Skill	Effect
Passive	Super Meter	Hits fill the meter, combos fill it faster, and a ki aura grows around Pepsiman. When it is full, press Primary + Secondary together for the Super Laser: every enemy is frozen and a Pepsi beam crosses the whole map, 1500% (500%) every 0.1 s for 1.6 s.
Primary	Pepsi Combo	8 strikes in a row: jab, cross, hook, flurries, uppercut, then an illegal knee. 1040% (260%) per punch, 2000% (500%) for the knee. Hold to keep going, juggles enemies in the air.
Secondary	Vending Slam	Grabs a Pepsi vending machine and slams it flat on the ground: 3600% (900%) in a large area, stuns. 0.4 s (5 s).
Secondary (alt)	Pepsi Puddle	Pours a can on the ground: the puddle launches every enemy that steps in it for 400% (100%), for 10 s. You can stand on it, so pour one in mid-air to make a platform. 0.3 s (4 s).
Utility	Genocide Cutter	A rising roundhouse kick that launches you high and carries the enemies in front of you up with you. Heavy enemies keep you lower. 3 hits of 880% (220%). 0.2 s (4 s).
Utility (alt)	Pepsi Express	Rushes forward into a huge uppercut that flies you up: 4 hits of 800% (200%). 0.2 s (4 s).
Special	Mountain Dew	Lobs a can at your feet that explodes in a pillar reaching the sky: 2400% (600%) to everything inside it. 6 charges (2), hold to throw them by the dozen.
Special (alt)	Pepsi Break	Stops for a sip of Pepsi. If anything hits you meanwhile, you take no damage, teleport behind the attacker and obliterate it with a barrage of 600% (150%) punches. 1 s (8 s).

Skins

15 colours from Rivals of Aether. The drink colours (Coke, 7 UP, Mountain Dew, Starbucks, Fanta, Sierra Mist, Brisk, Monster, Grape Soda) wear their drink's logo on the chest.

The last 4 are the ultimate mode: PEPSI MAX, INVERT, T-1000 and GOLDEN EXPERIENCE.

• +50% movement speed, +80% attack speed, strong regeneration, 4 extra jumps, no fall damage.
• The Super meter fills by itself and the aura burns gold at full power.
• When Pepsiman dies, every enemy on the map dies with him (bosses lose half of their health). Allies are spared.
