What can I do with Rhin?

[OneMoreShepard]

So, she is pretty much useless, but I don't really want to just kick her. Can I find a home for here or smth?

[Ruinous]

Some other threads on the subject go into quite a bit of spoilery detail, if you use the search function ;) The tl;dr version is yes you can, but she can also get to be a very useful companion.

I too am having trouble with this. I can't help you (and wouldbn't if I could) but know that you aren't alone. It seems the simple solution is to take her to the doctor, but she just says how cute Rhin is

Rhin is actually one of the most powerful NPC (maybe the most actually), to compensate that she's a slow starter. That said even at low levels you can use her in crisis to hide and resolve alternative objectives to end the fight in other ways than killing.

It appears she has a very specific function in combat and when done correctly, she can become an EXTREMELY usefull character in combat.

This writeup on gamerevolution provides a nice, quick how to, but it does contain some minor spoilers, not story related If I recall.

Lol I suspected she can be awesome stealth bomber as soon as I saw she got cypher use...
So, save your most destructive AOE and single-target cyphers, level her up and load her up.

Wow, really nice guide on how to use her properly, I like it. I'll use her as support

[Old Man Mordaith]

Man, no spoilers, but I considered Rhin invaulable to my party in later parts of the game.

[raubrey]

I have found her useful (pre OP status) for
-- healing
-- cyphers
-- random checks between rests.
-- could be used for movement related tasks (though I didn't have her with the drones/Order of Truth thing and would find that a bit risky because of AoE -- doable with hiding I imagine).
-- ranged weapons / light/ with buffs from my 2 jacks not great but OK finisher -- during a certain mirror gank, she didn't die.

I often just have her hide and pull her out when needed which isn't often. If you're more combat centric I'd say the first two items would be the more useful.

Since I didn't have a mage I started speccing her that way too with mystic lore etc.

[OneMoreShepard]

While we are on topic, looks like "psychic guard" ring is bugged on Rhin :( It's the one that gives +1 in Cypher Use.

Upd: It's the interface that is broken, not the ring

[Ruinous]

You really want her with the bonded pair rings anyway ;)

[Kamiyama]

I have her in my party. She holds her own. I gave her the "buzzer" gun that I found in the first fight and the "Star's Kiss" shield I got from some random NPC I met in that same area you find Rynn in.

She doesn't have much health, so I wouldn't give her a melee weapon. But with my other 3 party members beating on people up close, Rynn does pretty good at range with her gun. She's landed the killing blow on two slavers with it so far. Also helped me kill the nychthermion monster (or whatever it's called)

Obviously don't give her a might weapon. She won't be able to use it very well.

I'm looking at her as a project. By the end of the game I want her to be able to kill things all by herself. I told her she would have a better chance of surviving if she came with me, and I meant it.

She needs tier 3 to get her unique ability, which makes her the primary cipher user in the game. Don't waste the good ciphers before then (like the one from Prata), if you are going to include her in your group, and get her ASAP if you do, so she doesn't miss out on the xp.

You can give her to the slaver, cut her loose, or you can find her a home. If you dismiss her from the party, you cannot regain her like the others.

I met her in the Bloom (after trying to return her to the slavers but being honest about it) when I talked to her it was just a blank page I could only exit out of.. quite disappointing.

[Asuzu]

Yeah get her a.s.a.p., feed her XP, and she will rip everything apart better than your char.
Damn, now I wish I cloud play as her instead of that ugly female PC ;(

Nicely done!
