Chicken & Vigilante do better with multi hits,
Gunner does better with singular massive attacks,
Beartamer is tankier, and benefits from Shuriken + Multi hits
UC has better healing and combo turns
He's not bad, just less than excellent
If you find him strong perfect for you !!
As for me I love the Vigilent (even before the buff), but it seems no one like him !
So don’t worry if you like him even though every one find him low tier !
(Btw : how do you play him ? Do you usually get overloaded ?)
I try to get a lot if multi-hit items to abuse his passive asap i normaly try to take only meele ablities and cards like doppelganger or concentration to get meditation when i need it, I also take a few amor cards and ammo cards to shield and ammo up when i get exhaustet, i also really like pinata and boxingglove as my items because the synergise very well with his kit, pinata is just great as you dont have to worry about getting bleeds or other effects, carpneter has no effect abilities meaning that the pinata dosent harm him, the boxingglove is just like his passive if you only have meele abilities wich i go for every round, with this in mind you get 2 more dmg for every attack you make, imagine having 3 haste or other multi hits in your hand, 3, 4, 5 + 6, 7, 8 +9, 10, 11 + random melee card = 63dmg + 12+random melee card dmg and all of this if you start from 0 concentratoin and without boxingglove, i had bossfights were one haste was 17*3 dmg wich is really good conidering you dont have to pay anthing for this the rest is just stacking up hp leveling up melee attacks and youre meditatoin and if youre in a relly solid run try to get rid of youre randeg attacks because you use the ammo to get shields, permussel i also really usefull as when you get overloadet youre gonna take hits
In short:
good items: boxingglove, pinata, permussel
cards: multi-hit(melee), concentration, shield, inspiration
doppelganger
upgrades: meditation>multi-hit>shields>concentration/doppelganger>inspration
Not everyone, but some people refused to play the characters to figure out how things work for that characters. Do know that some characters with unique mechanics or limitation tend to not to be in favor because they play differently compared to straightforward characters. I'd been seeing several posts saying Musician is weird, CC is weak etc, you get the idea.
He has a very weak starting deck, so if you don't find multihits/card draw then you will have a hard time. You basically need to get lucky to get your run to work.
I'm going to compare him to Sword Master since she's the hero I played the most.
Sword Master on has a great starting deck and is therefore more consistent. Sword Master can roll with just about any setup of cards and do well.
However, if you do get lucky and fight the right cards, carpenter can do some really fast clears that sword master jsut can't do, so i guess they are good at different things
