Why is chicken so useless

[WIZROBE]

Her active ability sucks so bad i never use it, and her passive leaves you with 2 less health if you die (that is if you are lucky enough to survive)

I had 0 problems with melting and have gotten to loop 2 frozen city 4 times with various other characters.

am i missing something or does chicken just suck

you are missing something, she doesn't die when any other character would die.

This, her passive, makes her incredibly incredibly OP and you will suffer remarks saying you are incredulous

That being made clear, you are absolutely correct about her underwhelming active, most of us here seem to agree with that sentiment.

i just feel like she has no active ability so as a result i just end up dying because i get so bored playing as her

[wow, man]

I agree - she's just not fun to play. Her active feels almost thrown-on.

...That was unintentional. I swear!

Her active is acceptable if you're using melee, which she was sort of meant for to begin with. Her passive is also really good at keeping you alive.

I can definitely agree, she's a character, like Robot, that I just find myself not using to the fullest advantage

lolno.

This isnt really jumping, but the others in the thread pretty much said why the person here is wrong.

Except on the "throw is useless" thing

because thats really kinda true most of the time.

Well, hey, maybe they just don't like Chicken, and that's fine.

Anyway, the big thing you're missing is the life after death thing. Healing from any source (Bloodlust, medkits) will bring you back to life with -1 max HP. That negative HP will start to build up after a while, but initially, 7 HP isn't a big deal. You can also extend this with Rhino Skin.

Her Ultra allows her to stay alive for extended periods of time as long as she kills things. With Rabbit's Paw/Bloodlust, healing is almost guaranteed at some point.

That reason alone is why she's so strong. She just refuses to die, where any other character would be a corpse.

I think chicken is super powerful. You can run into war and run around headless and get countless kills. Then you just pick up a healthpack > Alive.
It might not be "so" fun if you never die. But you can go in crazy with an autoweapon as chicken.

You know what's funny?

I hate her passive, but love her active.

Her passive may have saved my life (For more than 10 seconds) perhaps 10 times during my Rad Chair career. That's pretty bad.

And even when it saves me, I spend the rest of the (Usually brief) game being as fragile as Melting, but without being able to destroy projectiles.

Her active, however, has helped me a lot of times. It makes Disc Guns useful XD When I miss a couple of Bolts in a row and the enemy is coming closer, I just throw the Crossbow at them. It can one shot or severely hurt Las Crystals. With Butt, it can end small groups of enemies.

I only wish it had a larger hitbox for enemies, or smaller for props.
