How do I Melting.

[smoking that buffoon pack]

I've beaten the Throne as Fish, Crystal, Eyes, Plant, Y.V., Roids, Robot, and Chicken.
But I cannot, for the life of me, play Melting.
I LOVE HIS RMB ABILITY IT'S SO COOL but the character is really hard to play.
I've tried taking it slow but my attention span's like a squirrel with ADHD.
Any tips?

I dont like him. It's weird having to use corpses as bonus damage because it's just inconsistent.

Personally I would play melting if he just had some lame and boring buff of damage output, would be more of a glass cannon.

But anyways you play him to get strong spirit, thronebutt, his ultra that explodes low-hp enemies, (and boiles + rhino skin i guess) and get Crown of Blood with that to just right click ur way through loops.

you always want throne butt.
then its either strong spirit and boiling veins and using rockets
or rhino skin and either arrow or laser weapons and keeping your distance

impact wrists and scary face are decent with melting too

You really like blowing enemies at 4 hp do you?

Melting + Crown of Explosions
All day.
Erry day.

CoE doesnt work with Melting's explosions I believe.

My problem is is that Melting is extremely luck based. The only times I was able to get past 3_3 was when I had Rhino Skin or Strong Spirit, AND spawning in an open area at scrapyard and above is pretty much guaranteed death.

Melting needs a few changes, man.

@Bubbles
He is really hard to play, if you aren't the good enough with him then you need some luck.
Things to keep in mind are that his corpse explosions

1. also use destroyed props (cacti, barrels, ect.)

2. the expolsions blow up projectiles and can save you on open areas so use defensively

3. only deal 4 damage per hit and can at most hit up to three times.

So use his ability to protect youself or on weak enemies (like maggots, works well on after killing big maggots or rotting corpses and if you break a fake rad can it will nuke the screen if used twice)

useful mutations

Hammerhead will help make cover anywhere and very useful in open areas,

Boiling veins helps only because you will almost never have more than 4 health and it will give you more room to dodge and less to worry about,

Rhino skin improves survival,

Throne butt needs no explaination

Euphoria give a bigger window to destroy bullets

Long arms is useful because melee is actually really good with melting and helps hit enemies through walls

Plutonium hunger takes advantage of his passive but most importantly makes getting pickups a little safer, a deceptively useful mutation

Strong spirit also needs no explaination, if you get it Gamma guts might help save you from melee enemies

Impact wrists is good but you have to plan if you want to use it, melee helps hitting enemies into position

Both Ultras are useful if you get them.

play defensively, do whatever you need to do to not get hit
That is all the help I can give, and remember there is a wiki for this game.

I don't know why anyone hasn't said this but Blood lust Strong spirit is great. You get hit to 1hp then you need to get one blood lust proc to have another hit. Also practice practice practice, he is one of the hardest characters in the game and isn't meant to be as easy as the others.

In theory that's amazing....in practice though it doesn't work that well usually cause how often bloodlust doesn't proc and heaven help you if you're dealing with contact damage.

For Melting, it's best to go slow and steady. Throne butt is a must, so is strong spirit and if you can't swing that Rhino Skin. It's not so much that Melting is hard, he's just so RNG that it can feel unfun if you make one mistake.

@EC-10
because pretty much anything but maggots one shot melting and strong spirit was nerfed to only save you once a run, instead of that awesome can't die if over 1HP.

Still that cant die over 1hp would be great for a ultra mutation

This is just wrong? Strong spirit recharges when you reach full health.

[Hustle Cop]

Melting sort of exemplifies and emphasizes all the weakest areas of this game's RNG. You can look above for all his optimal mutation/crown/ultra synergies, and if you manage to get those, Melting is an extremely powerful character. WIthout them, he's a shrimp with an extremely inconsistent and often useless passive.

I usually try for Strong Spirit and/or Rhino Skin. If I don't get either of those by 3-1, I basically just accept death play till I inevitably get killed.

Simple.

Don't get hit, you can get up to 13 mutations with him.
