Don't Unlock The Huntress (maybe?)

[Evil Unk]

I unlocked the Huntress and I totally regret it!
Huntress seems very under powered for having to last 10 minutes to get her. Getting her actually makes the game HARDER because if you are trying to upgrade a single character, when your choices come up sometimes the only choice you have are the three other characters. Any way to LOCK her back up?
-----------------------coming back to this---------------------------------
OK, so I decided to give the Huntress another try and dedicate a few games to only playing her. After a couple upgrades here arrows are descent. It is difficult now to concentrate on only one character like you can when you only have with the only three choices.
Freezing arrows are awesome! Explosive arrows are awesome also. Both are very good mob control weapons.
So while I give the huntress a thumbs up, I would love to have the option to choose the 3 characters I can start with and not have that 4th character blowing up your build order.
I cannot see unlocking 6 or 8 characters and being able to upgrade specific weapons on a single character. Also maybe have a single character only mode. That would make it so people can upgrade weapons and abilities quickly and fight the horde single-handed.
All in all an AWESOME demo and I will most likely buy the full game on release.

Yeah I was having some fun trying to get through the game with just the ONE initial starting class, but if you unlock Huntress it seems to make it so the upgrades no longer always give you the option to Skip or Reroll upgrades. So you're eventually forced into adding a 2nd class and no longer going solo (regardless of whether you start with Huntress or another class as leader, I think).

I know it's an Early Access Demo, but I agree with you 100%. It also seems that the more you upgrade her Multi-shot the worse she gets. With the first upgrade, she shoots 2 arrows in basically the same direction at the same target, but after that, she just starts shooting arrows into the wild blue yonder like a blind psychopath, and I'm lucky if more than 1 arrow hits a zombie. Multi-shot either needs to be fired all at once in a fan, fired all in a straight line, or actually have each shot aimed and fired at a target so it doesn't miss. That being said, her Frozen Arrows are amazing and let you focus on more than just playing a zombie traffic bob and weave simulator. That is if you can get them before the game is over because you had to completely upgrade 2 other characters you didn't want before the upgrade shows up.

Speaking of... if they are going to say in the description that we have a choice to play with 1 character or a group.... while we currently only have 1 character, there should ALWAYS be an upgrade option for that character in the window if they have one available, so we aren't forced into adding another character. That, or put in a solo mode/option. I can't even do a solo character run with 4 characters unlocked, can you imagine with the 8 (or more) they have planned?

I wish we could lock her back up, but the closest thing is resetting your progress in the options menu and starting over.

Also, her zombie decoy is terrible, zombies will just walk straight pass the decoy and some will still follow you

[Charming Cthulhu]

Nah the decoy is one of the more useful abilities, but her bow is so bad it's not worth unlocking her.

[kenaustin]

I think her bow is pretty good once you get to multishot and beyond.

[Snowfunk]

Yea, game became way harder once you unlocked her.
Made it nearly impossible to focus upgrade your starting character.
Since there's even more character, and tiers with abilites, I really hope we get a decent amount of rerolls and bans.
Skips seems pointless and useless.

I like Huntress, her Mutishot arrows do need some work, but Explosive shots are solid. Obviously not as good as the Mini-gun or Assault Rifle. I also, like the Decoy ability, as it will take boss off of you, as they go attack it. The explosion damage and radius is not great.

I stick with one character in the beginning on my runs, so upgrading the characters is not too difficult. It not that serious, that you need to not unlock her.

[Mokona]

Seems pretty good to me. Was top damage in a few of my runs

[GrandpaGoodVibesTV]

Huntress can actually be very useful if used correctly. Avoid spinning around as it makes your shots much less accurate. Her single target damage is very good and 1 hits all zombies besides bosses. Ice arrows make the game a cake walk and turns the bosses into the easiest targets on the map. Explosive arrows can destroy masses of zombies if you have them grouped together and deals chunks of damage to bosses. I thought she was pretty was also for the first couple runs with her but you can learn how to make her a strong character. I will say, there is maybe a thing or 2 that could be changed on her to make her feel better to use, but that's another story...

[BlackjackGT]

So the Huntress Multishot>Explosive Arrow upgrade is freaking awesome. Every arrow sticks to a zombie and then goes gooey kablooie and it's freaking awesome and can help clear the largest hordes. Just takes some patience to get to the Explosive / Freezing upgrade choices.

[GrandpaGoodVibesTV]

BlackjackGT now you need to try tank rocket launcher and mines and huntress explosive arrows :) lots of fun

[Andarilho]

Unlock the Huntress!!
- Decoy can agro all bosses trying to gank you
- also, explosive arrows + multishot!

[mr. nails]

Huntress is borderline OP. No idea wtf you guys are on about. Best I've lasted was 12:33. Good luck with the game.

[Arch Cup-Bearer]

i survived 14:06 with frozen huntress and flammin engineer. currently her freeze arrows permanently freeze bosses. with her fire arrows i was doing 1231 dps.

[斧王冯一贤]

TANK AND Huntress ARE THE POWERFUL CHARCTER
