In Rocket Arena there is an undisputed queen of speed in the Arena, and she goes by the name Rev. She joins the tournament from The Boiler region, an area not known for arena championship victories. In fact, nobody from The Boiler has ever won the championship. Obviously, Rev seeks to change that and has come to the tournament as an incredibly viable contender, even wi🌄thout any sort of artifacts equipped.
As you can see in the gameplay video above, Rev’s movement speed clearly gains its advantage from her hoverboard, but she has some cool abilities aiding her in her quest for victory as well. First, she has the Doubly Whammy primary attack, which is a rapid-fire twin-barrel Gatling gun attack. She does have to reload, however, gets 16 shots off before needing to do so, making this weapon incredibly effective. Her secondary🍒 ability lets her lob Mag Mines at opponents or stick them to surfaces to set up traps. Finally, her Shatterslam ability charges down opponents with her hoverboard, a crushing charge ability. To maximize her chanc🗹es of winning the arena championship, we recommend a speed build, a dodge build, and an all-around build to take home the trophy.
Speed Build
Rev is incredibly fast, and it may not seem intuitive to create a speed build for this he💞ro. Until you’ve tried it. By adding arti💜facts that boost speed, Rev goes from being fast, to truly overpowered, especially in capture the flag type game modes. The Gemstone Elixir appears to still apply to her hoverboard when equipped (although, this could presumably be nerfed i🃏n the future). With Rev’s speed, it is easy to launch into the air, so adding the Boost Capacitor brings up 𒐪her base airspeed as well. Because Rev finds herself up in the action due to arriving first, she is often a rocket magnet. Equip the Zephyr Vest, and Rev can💛 zip back into 🐼triple K.O. territory in short order.
First Artifact - Gemstone Elixir - Ground movement speed increased 15%
Second Artifact - Boost Capacitor - Air movement speed increased by 10%
Third Artifact - Zephyr Vest - Move 40% faster after arena returns for 6 s༺econds
Dodge Build
Rev gets into the action quickly, often first. If you don’t see the benefit of goingᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ from speedy, to super speedy, consider a dodge build to increase Rev’s survivability beyond one ammo clip. A dodge build provides just this ability, allowing Rev to charge in, wreak havoc, and live long enough to provide the triple knock out. The Hunter’s Idol provid♎es incoming damage reduction and should be equipped in the first slot. For an extra-large dodge radius, equip the Coldsnap Locket. Finally, due to her trait as a 💞rocket magnet, addi🉐ng the Bastion Bell to her loadout provides healtꦉh regeneration quickly after each KO, of which there will be many.
First Artifact - Hunter’s Idol - Decreases damage and impulse received by 10%
Second Artifact - Coldsnap Locket - Dodge radius increased by 100%
Third Artifact - Bastion Bell - KOs reduce the time until health regen s𝓰tarts by 40%
All Around Build
For those finding themselves playing as Rev more often than not, they will need a solid all-around build that will suit their needs for most maps and game modes without the need to c🎐hange equipment and artifacts. Here we suggest the Gemstone Elixir to ensure Rev is unrival𓂃ed as the fastest on the arena floor. Next𝓀, the Unstable Canister is a perfect par🀅tner to Rev’s Double Whammy and its high combinations. Finally, with Rev’s penchant for h🐬igh KO totals, the Boom Bit should close out her all-around loadout.
First Artifact - Gemstone Elixir - Ground movement speed increased 15%
Second Artifact - Unstable Canister - Deal more damage the higher your blast mete🐼r, up ꦦto 8%
Third Artifact - Boom Bit - KOs boost damage by 8% for 8 seconds
Do yourself a favor, play as Rev, an𝔍d help The Boiler region claim their first arena victory.
