Risk of Rain 2 Huntress Skills
Huntress can make use of a lot of items efficiently. Items like Harvester’s Scythe, Medkit, Leeching Seed, Tougher Times etc can be useful in letting her not die instantly. Items like Energy Drink and Goat’s Hoof increase your mobility and let you dodge attacks better. Items like Bustling Fungus and Cautious Slug can be used as they provide healing outside combat. Foreign Fruit can be useful in the early period when you get her to increase surviving chances.
Items like Alien Head, Bandolier Magazine and Brainstalks are very useful in late periods with the character so you should try hard scaling them as much as possible. Hardlight Afterburner provides with greater agility. Items like Old War Stealth Kit and Hopoo Feather increases speed and mobility. Items like Will-o-Wisp, Happiest Mask and Gasoline can help your glaive to direct to another target after killing someone.

The skill having no cooldown can be very useful as compared to the long cooldown skills. In a later period, strafe won’t be much of use. The skill can also be performed if sprinting.
