Acrid is a good dino boy

and nobody can say he isnt.

Too bad he's pretty garbage compared to the others, and his gameplay is afk-based. He's too squishy to reliably melee with later on in the game, so you're stuck running around while waiting for your slow, non-stackable poison to whittle down enemies.

The things you've described are what make him OP, though.
You call it afk-based, I call it Guerilla. Poison one group of enemies, move on to deal with the next, finish off the previous group later. His poison simply can not be outscaled- it will always put an enemy at 1 HP within a minute. Less if your damage is higher than it would be.

I guess his melee skills taper off, but that's the case for skills on most characters. Commando only uses his M1 late game, Loader only uses her shift late game, Arty mainly uses Nano Bomb and Ion Surge if she uses it, etc.

Mainly for memes (I just cheesed), but I did do the first loop in about 15 minutes with absolutely no cheese and no items. It's not like he's afking *that* long.

Yeah, I know he's not that terrible, just doesn't really suit my playstyle. I like to go in face-first, so Loader and Merc better suit my style.
