Fisherman

Fisherman is a Melee, Range, and Summoner hybrid guy who stinks like fish. Fisherman's mobility is weak, but he offers powerful crowd control and utility to force enemies to fight on his terms and clear stages quickly.

Kit

Fisherman currently has his Passive, 4 core abilities, and 1 alternative special.

An alt secondary, and at least one alt utility is planned.

Beta

Fisherman is currently in BETA, meaning:

• Untested Multiplayer compatibility
• Untested Compatibility with many mods.
• Unfinished or Placeholder Assets
• Missing Content
• Bugs

If you would like to report a bug or provide feedback regarding Fisherman, Please visit the Fisherman Discord's bug-report Channel

Compatibility

• If you are a filthy autosprint user, Fisherman's Primary will not work with RTAutoSprintEx or autosprint via Aerolt. .score's alternative AutoSprint mod does work.
• The Custom UI element for Fisherman's Utility does not work properly with RiskUI, and may not work with other HUD mods.
• Fisherman's platform doesn't work properly with KCCdownpatcher, causing it to become slippery and hard to stand on.
• AllyAttackBlock interferes with intended synergies between Fisherman's abilities and his platform.
• Ancient Scepter has an issue that causes fisherman (and some other characters) to not fire any projectiles from his special.
• scannerplusone causes the small radar pulse emitted on m2 projectile to be much larger than intended,
• DroneMeld prevents Cast from hooking broken turrets

• 0.3.14 - 12/12/25

  • Fisherman's Passive has been converted to throw things in the same way drifter does. This now means things you hook can deal damage, and you can hook more interactables than you could before. The consequence of this is that throwing things is slightly less consistent than before.
  • You may now hook living Allies using Cast.
  • Hooking things that are very close to their target should no longer result in them shooting into the skybox.
  • This update is somewhat rushed and experimental. As always, please give me feedback and report and bugs you find in the discord.
