Ending phrase

..and so she left, her soul still remaining on the planet.

Huntress

"The Huntress is extremely proficient at 'kiting' (running and firing while remaining unhurt). Remember that Laser Glaive does the highest damage on the last bounce! Blink can be used to reposition or re-aim abilities, and Cluster Bomb can take out grouped enemies at range."
–In-game character description

Description

The Huntress is a playable character in Risk of Rain Returns.

Huntress is one of two characters that are unlocked from the start of the game, the other being Commando. Two unique traits that set Huntress apart from most other survivors are her ability to shoot while moving at full speed and to automatically aim at enemies. This makes her highly mobile and able to deal damage consistently.

  Travel ID: 54C49474142564
Passenger Details: [Civilian Class]

Luggage & Equipment: Passenger boarded with Agile-Class Hunter armor. Warp drives were aged, but only posed a malfunctioning risk to the individual, and thus passed safety clearances. Carbon fiber components appear damaged but still within acceptible vaccuum-graded limits. Red coloration noted as in some sectors it signifies a potential mercenary for hire. Individual also boarded with a Lightbow and a Tri-Rang variant, both of which have been packed into automated lockboxes until arrival. Lightbow showed signs of modification, but due to civillians having to pack away weaponry, inspection was kept to E-Class standards. Tri-Rang variant rattles persistently inside of lockbox, but was accepted by both passenger and security personnel.

[SECURITY RECALL] [Event H1] Individual found scratching at lockbox seams. Automated security alerts were not triggered. [Event H2] Individual appears to only sleep 3 hours per night and often avoids line of sight with cameras.
