Giant Reference comparing character traits and abilities - October 14, 2018

Given the vast amount of information from the character pages as to what they can do, how effectively they can do those things and how they have many little effects added to what they can do, this page was setup to help better show how all the characters compare to one another across a number of areas and abilities. The characters' basic attacks are already covered in the "Combat - Basics" dev blog page.

Since this page has been done up during a very early stage of development for The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt, there is a strong possibility that this page will need to be edited if characters/abilities are changed for the sake of balance.

There is a lot of information even on these reference pages, and are meant to look more towards late-game/end-game character building, and is meant as a way to look ahead to this stage of play, as well.

Final Max Stats (Soul Triad and Weapons)

Direct comparison of all characters maximum stats through Soul Triad customization, along with max level weapons to show each characters' maximum stat potential.

Character	HP	Attack	Defense	Combat Movement
Cherry	200 (300 with max level Waller Longsword)	20 (30 with max level Steel Sabre)	50%	0%
Knight	100	40 (60 with max level Scythe)	0%	0%

Brooks	100	40 (60 with max level Crossgun)	0%	0%

Powerful Body Abilities

Each character has their own version of a very powerful Body ability which is their strongest Body attack, most of which gain a double damage bonus during the Body Field Effect (on top of the double damage that the Body Field Effect doles out to begin with), with Claire's Crimson Acrobat being the exception.

Character	Powerful Body Ability	Details
Cherry	Hyper Blade	Deals Attack x 2 damage per slash for 4 slashes over an area. Gains no damage boosts, so all 4 slashes landing on one enemy with her Wild Whetstone passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect totals up to only Attack x 16 damage (about 320 damage ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost). While weak for a top Body ability, Cherry is invincible during usage, its cooldown can be reduced to 15 seconds (very short cooldown for a top Body ability) and it does hit an area, however awkwardly.
Knight	Power Drive	Deals Attack x 1.8 damage after making a giant leap forward. Can gain passives that triple damage at its base and a passive to boost area of effect, and his Hyperdrive passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect totals to Attack x 10.8 damage (about 432 damage at max Attack stat of 40 ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost). Also weak for a top Body ability, but it can hit an area, and with the Sightless weapon, can inflict Blind to that area, or with the Ragnarok weapon, can shorten cooldown from 20 seconds to 15 seconds, making it able to be used often. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, now inflicts Stagger, as well]
Alberto	Haymaker	Deals Attack x 3 damage. Can gain passives that quadruple damage and inflict Stun, and with his The Punch To End All Punches passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect, totals to Attack x 24 (480 damage ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost). Has a short cooldown of 20 seconds and inflicts Stun, making this a very useful top Body ability.
Tara	Kill Chop	Deals Attack x 3 damage. Can gain passives that triple damage, and with her Confirmed Kill passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect, totals to Attack x 18 (720 damage at max Attack stat of 40 ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost and offensive boosts like Advantage Pushback, High Velocity and Willpower). Has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Pound	Claymore Crash	Deals Attack x 3 damage. Can gain passives that boost damage by 50%, and with his Claymost passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect, totals to Attack x 9 (360 damage at max Attack stat of 40 ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost and offensive boosts like Dark Arts and Vampire). Has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Cook	Viper Cudgel	Deals Attack x 4 damage. Can gain passives that double damage, and with his Legend Viper Cudgel passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect and holding his ranged weapon during Viper Cudgel (and should be done during Body attacks, due to the +50% power boost), totals to Attack x 24 (1200 damage at max Attack stat of 50 ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost and the up to 3x offensive boost from Strength). By far the most powerful Body damage output (even just at its base), but has a massive cooldown of 45 seconds.
Claire	Crimson Acrobat	Deals Attack x 0.3 per slash over 8 slashes. Can gain passives that double damage, and though Claire has no passive to add another double damage during the Body Field Effect, she does have Scorpion Nature, which triples Crimson Acrobat damage against knocked down opponents (alongside the base +50% boost for knocked down enemies), and totals to Attack x 21.6 (432 damage to a knocked down enemy, ignoring Prone, which would cause Claire to deal 2x damage instead of +50% to all knocked down enemies). Though this is by far one of the weakest top Body abilities from a single-target standpoint, Claire can reduce its cooldown to 10 seconds, making it the fastest.
Jimmy	Pressure Point	Deals Attack x 3 damage. Can gain passives that triple damage, and with his High Pressure passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect, totals to Attack x 18 (360 damage ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost). Can have its cooldown reduced as low as 15 seconds, giving it a decent balance of power and speed.
Brooks	Pickaxe	Deals Attack x 3 damage. Can gain passives that triple damage, and with his Strike Gold passive adding another double damage during the Body Field Effect, totals to Attack x 18 (720 damage at max Attack stat of 40 ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost). Can reduce cooldown to 25 seconds.

Less descriptive Powerful Body Attack results (ignoring the Body Field Effect's base double attack boost)

Character	Powerful Body Ability	Details
Cherry	Hyper Blade	320 damage to an area if all slashes hit, 15 second cooldown
Knight	Power Drive	432 damage to an area, possible Blind infliction, 20 second cooldown (possible 15 second) [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, inflicts Stagger]

Tara	Kill Chop	360 damage, 30 second cooldown
Pound	Claymore Crash	180 damage, 30 second cooldown
Cook	Viper Cudgel	600 damage (holding ranged weapon), 45 second cooldown
Claire	Crimson Acrobat	432 damage if enemy knocked down, 10 second cooldown
Jimmy	Pressure Point	180 damage, 15 second cooldown
Brooks	Pickaxe	360 damage, 25 second cooldown

Healing and reviving abilities

Mind and Siphon ability differences are noted here. Why is this important? Mind abilities that heal influence the Field Effect more towards the defensive Mind (where you party can recuperate easier), while Siphon influences help for a push towards a more offensive Field Effect (allowing the party to get back on the offense easier). As with all other comparisons, these abilities are assumed to be customized to the maximum and some active abilities that don't normally heal will be mentioned if they have passives that add healing.

Also note that Alberto's healing abilities with maxed out Inner Strength will be 2.5x stronger while Inner Strength is active.

Character	Ability	Details
Cherry	Power Surge (Wind Siphon)	Heals a living ally for 50 HP, 20 second cooldown
Cherry	Phantom Break (Wind Siphon)	Heals any ally (living or dead) for 30 HP, provides 2 seconds of invinciblity to target, 30 second cooldown
Alberto	Light Magic (Mind)	Heals a living ally for 40 HP (100 HP with Inner Strength active), leaves behind a Light Zone that heals living allies for 8 HP every second for 5 seconds to a sizeable area (20 HP with Inner Strength), 10 second cooldown
Alberto	Revive (Mind)	Heals any ally (living or dead) for 20 HP (50 HP with Inner Strength active), 20 second cooldown
Alberto	Elixir (Mind)	Heals all living allies for 25 HP (62 HP with Inner Strength active), pushes heavily to the Mind Field Effect and reduces all allies' cooldowns by 5 seconds, 30 second cooldown
Cook	Life Shield (Fire Siphon)	Heals the user for 20 HP while boosting Defense + 30% for 8 seconds, 10 second cooldown
Claire	First Aid (Mind)	Heals a living ally for 20 HP, 10 second cooldown (triggering Stealth removes cooldown)
Jimmy	Beyond Eternity (Mind)	Heals the user for 25 HP, while sacrificing own cooldowns to remove all of each party members' cooldowns and boosting the party's Combat Movement, 45 second cooldown
Jimmy	Vital Shot (Fire Siphon)	Heals the user for 15 HP if the projectile hits, plus 5 HP more per enemy hit by the area-of-effect pulse that follows, 8 second cooldown
Jimmy	Heal (Fire Siphon)	Heals a living ally for 70 HP, 15 second cooldown
Brooks	Field Tactics (Earth Siphon)	Heals all living allies (but not the user) for 20 HP while dragging them to the user's position and boosting their Combat Movement (and Attack and Defense if the Ireland MRND-48 AAG is equipped) for 5 seconds, 15 second cooldown

Projectiles

Like other comparisons, these abilities are considered customized to their maximum and does not include outside Active Ability buffs (such as Dark Arts). When total damage is listed, this is based off of max Attack stat (but through Soul Triad only, not through weapons) and any damage boosting passives. Brooks' basic hitscan attack does not count as a projectile in this instance.

Character	Ability	Details
Cherry	Bladecopter	Deals 60 damage (180 damage with max level Lyra Buster) and inflicts 4 seconds of Stun. If an enemy is killed by Bladecopter, Attack Chopper is triggered and Bladecopter deals 300 damage (900 with Lyra Buster) and 6 seconds of Stun. Has 30 second cooldown, but Attack Chopper triggering reduces this to 0.
Cherry	Violent Gust	Deals 80 damage (320 damage with max level Hrunting and Wind Siphon Field Effect, and up to 640 damage with 4 Tornados in play) and inflicts Knockback (up to double distance). 10 second cooldown during Wind Siphon Field Effect.
Knight	Dark Shot	Deals 180 damage (360 with max level Devastator) and with the max level Naginata equipped, creates an area-of-effect pulse that deals 600 damage. 10 second cooldown.
Knight	Monster Bubble	Prevents an enemy (and any adjacent enemies) from moving for 8 seconds while dealing 12 damage per second (24 per second with max level Devastator). 15 second cooldown.
Alberto	Photon Ray	Deals 30 damage (60 with max level Gigas Fists). 5 second cooldown.
Alberto	Static	Deals 20 damage (40 with max level Gigas Fists) and 4 seconds of Stun. During the Wind Siphon Field Effect, can create Thunder Storms. 5 second cooldown.
Pound	Aura	Deals 60 damage and moves slowly to set up Death Forests. Does not disappear on collison with enemy. 15 second cooldown.
Cook	Far Shot	Deals 25 damage and is subject to many more damage-boosting buffs as Cook's ranged basic attack. Does not disappear on collison with enemy. 1 second cooldown.
Cook	Viper Blast	Deals 500 damage (1000 with max level Burnarang), and on collision, unleashes an wide-area explosion that deals 300 damage (600 with max level Burnarang), while spreading fire if fire is near the explosion. 30 second cooldown.

Jimmy	Shuriken	Deals 80 damage (240 with max level Ninja Knives). Can attach Fire Siphon tags to enemies for Crimson Force and inflicts Blind with the Zipmore Dirks equipped. 4 second cooldown. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, no longer can inflict Blind, but Stagger via Zipmore Dirks. Also can have zero cooldown during Fire Siphon Field Effect]
Jimmy	Vital Shot	Deals 40 damage (80 with max level Solar Knives) and heal Jimmy for 15 HP plus 5 HP per enemy caught in the area-of-effect pulse created on collision. 8 second cooldown.
Brooks	Flashbang	Inflicts Blind to a very large area for 12 seconds. Has 5 second cooldown with max level Tactical Rifle equipped.

Beams

Like other comparisons, these abilities are considered to be at maximum. All beams deal damage 10 times per second, and total damage is presented as though the beam was hitting an enemy from start to end of the beam's lifespan.

Beam abilities are extremely powerful, but leave the user unable to block or dodge, and the beam must be focused on the chosen target for most all of the beam's lifespan to be effective.

Character	Ability	Details
Alberto	Planet Destroyer	Deals up to 480 damage (960 damage with max level Gigas Fists) after focus for 8 seconds (without the Radiation passive or with Radiation and the beam falls off the target for a split second), or with a full Radiation focus, a maximum of 2160 damage (4320 damage with max level Gigas Fists) after the 8 seconds. 30 second cooldown.
Pound	Viper King	Deals up to 640 damage (1280 damage with max level Zweihanders) after focus for 8 seconds. If Pound has Vampire Ancient and uses Vampire on an ally, Viper King can deal 1920 damage (3840 damage with max level Zweihanders), though this means sacrificing Pound's other abilities by putting them on cooldown. 20 second cooldown.
Cook	Viper Beam	Deals up to 600 damage (1200 damage with max level Burnarang) after focus for 4 seconds and adds a long trail of fire from the initial triggering of the beam if the Fire Siphon Field Effect is active and Cook has the Dragon's Breath passive. Though it is the weakest overall beam, it requires very little setup to deal decent damage and leave Cook vulnerable for only half the time of the other beams. 20 second cooldown.

Barriers

Like other comparisons, these abilities are considered to be at maximum.

Barriers nullify just about every attack if the enemy hits the barrier as they try to hit a target, be it melee attacks, projectiles, beams or wide-area effects (one notable exception is the Teras' attack-all Earthquake, though).

Character	Ability	Details
Pound	Barrier	Covers a large area and lasts 8 seconds. 20 second cooldown.
Jimmy	Withstand Seal	Half the area of Pound's Barrier and lasts 3 seconds, but has only a 5 second cooldown, allowing it to re-deployed in different areas easier as needed.

Attack/Offensive buffs

Like other comparisons, these abilities are considered to be at maximum. Includes Attack stat boosts, as well as anything that increases general offense, damage of basic attacks or the damage of a variety of abilities (but not, say, Viper King Damage passive to boost damage only for Viper King, which many Active Abilities have, or Cherry's Squall Strengthen which boosts only Violent Gust during the Wind Siphon Field Effect). This is meant more for general lasting effects.

Though there are a lot of buffs/debuffs included in this list, this is meant more to emphasize that there are a large number of ways characters can gain general offensive boosts.

Character	Ability	Details
All characters	Rebound Bonus	At Knockback's end or if Claire has Acrobatics and dodge rolls at the end of Ninja, the user gains double damage for 3 seconds. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, Stagger/Stun/Knockdown also trigger Rebound Bonus]

Knight	Metastrike/Lasting Meta	Knight's damage and speed for basic attacks is doubled for 3 seconds after using Metastrike.

Alberto	Brute Force (passive)	With max level Santiago Cesti equipped, Alberto's basic melee attacks deal 4x damage during the Body Field Effect.
Tara	Pushback/Advantage Pushback	On successful Pushback, Tara deals 50% more damage for 3 seconds.
Tara	Cleatqueen/High Velocity	Tara's next basic attack, Body attack or Mind attack deals up to double damage based on how far Tara has moved between attacks.
Tara	Willpower	Tara's next basic attack, Body attack or Mind attack deals 2x damage (or 4x damage under the Mind Field Effect, with the Field Effect's half damage already applied to this figure).
Tara	Intelligence (passive)	With a max level Morrison Maul equipped, Tara's basic melee attacks deal 4x damage during the Mind Field Effect.

Cook	Fatality	Cook's ranged basic attacks deal double damage for 8 seconds.
Cook	Strength	Cook's melee basic attacks and Body attacks deal triple damage for 8 seconds.

Cook	Steel Echo (passive)	When Cook's basic melee attack hits an enemy, his next ranged weapon attack deaks 50% more damage (2x damage with max level Blade Boomerang).
Claire	Throat Jab	Though this is a debuff rather than a buff, it does allow all allies to deal 4x damage (6x with max level Assassin Blade) to one enemy.
Claire	Sixth Sense/Mindgames	For 18 seconds, every time Claire dodges near an enemy, her damage output for all attacks while Sixth Sense is active is boosted by 10%.
Claire	Cheetah/Mega Cheetah	For 8 seconds, if the Mind Field Effect is active, Claire gains Attack + 10.
Claire	Prone (passive)	Claire deals 2x damage instead of +50% damage to all knocked down enemies.
Claire	Burn to the Soul (passive)	With a max level Kay Cutter equipped, Claire's basic melee attacks deal 4x damage during any Siphon Field Effect.
Brooks	Pushback/Pushbreak	On successful Pushback, they suffer triple collision damage from all sources (like Throat Jab, essentially a debuff, but with so many knockback options, it is practically an offensive buff for Brooks).
Brooks	Multi-Shot	Increases Brooks' attack speed up to 10x for 8 seconds and during the Mind Field Effect, do increasing damage with each shot.
Brooks	Eagle Cannon	Deal more damage the further away Brooks is and inflicts Knockback with basic attacks during the Mind Field Effect.
Brooks	Heavy Focus	Deal large distance Knockback with Brooks' next basic attack.
Brooks	Field Tactics/Fog of War	With a max level Ireland MRND-48 equipped, Field Tactics boosts Brooks' allies' Attack stat by 20 for 5 seconds (but not Brooks).
Brooks	Carpet Bomb (passive)	During the Mind Field Effect with the Howitzer equipped, Brooks' basic attacks deal damage to an area.

Combat Movement buffs

Like other comparisons, these abilities and Attack stat (through Soul Triad) are considered to be at maximum. This does not bring up abilities that move fast (like Line Overdrive, Ninja or Twister, for example), but for abilities that boost standard movement speed for short periods of time.

Character	Ability	Details
All characters	Rebound Bonus	At Knockback's end or if Claire has Acrobatics and dodge rolls at the end of Ninja, the user gains Combat Movement + 100% for 3 seconds. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, Stagger/Stun/Knockdown trigger Rebound Bonus]

Invincible abilities

Like other comparisons, these abilities and Attack stat (through Soul Triad) are considered to be at maximum. Does not include barriers, despite their almost full invincibility.

Character	Ability	Details
Cherry	Hyper Blade	Cherry deals 4 slashes at 40 damage per slash (80 per slash during the Body Field Effect) over a sizeable area, and is invincible while doing so.
Cherry	Stand Ground	Cherry suffers 0 damage while blocking. Though technically not an actual invincible ability (which ignore damage and effects outright and skips the damage forumlae), this still counts, since Cherry nullifies all damage and the requirement to block for Stand Ground to activate causes Stagger/Stun/Knockdown/Knockback to not work against her.

Brooks	Blastback/Leaps and Bounds	Brooks deals 80 damage to large area in front of him while performing an invincible leap backwards.

Cooldown reduction

Like other comparisons, these abilities and Attack stat (through Soul Triad) are considered to be at maximum. This is different from passive abilities that permanently lower cooldown on a specific per-ability basis; focus here is more towards Active Abilities being triggered.

Character	Ability	Details
Knight	Nightslash/Good Night	Knight deals 120 damage and Stun on initial slash, and if the attacks hits, creates an explosion to an area that deals 480 damage and Stun while reducing cooldown. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, Nightslash has been added as a usable ability]

Jimmy	Dead Drop/Necromancer's Landing	Leaping slash that deals 150 damage and Stagger to an area while reducing cooldowns by 2 seconds on successful hit. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, Dead Drop is now a usable ability]
Jimmy	Smoke Grenade	Inflicts Stagger to an area, is an escape tool and reduces cooldowns for every enemy hit by a half second per enemy. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, Smoke Grenade has been reworked to have this]

Elemental themes under the elemental Siphon Field Effects

Like other comparisons, these abilities and Attack stat (through Soul Triad) are considered to be at maximum.

Since each character has differing reasons to have their Siphon build push the Field Effect towards their own elemental Siphon Field Effect, this will briefly outline their theme and what can be expected from their elemental control over the Field Effect. The name of their elemental theme has no effect in-game (is just flavour text here), as the only important part is what their element is.

Character	Innate Element	Elemental Theme	Battlefield Goals
Cherry	Wind	Wind	Use the Wind Siphon Field Effect to create a battlefield of constant Knockback to stall the enemy, through the Wind Siphon Field Effect's windbursts, Cherry's Tornados (as she can bring forth 4 with one call) and Cherry's burst damage Violent Gusts, as well as use Dark Energy to reduce enemy Attack stats to stall them further and keep the Wind Siphon Field Effect in play.
Knight	Water	Ice	Use the Water Siphon Field Effect to being forth even more sets of Deep Freeze Ice so they can be exploded by Fumarole to create over 100 projectiles that each deal 120 damage (240 with max level Devastator) flying across the battlefield in every direction (13 Deep Freeze ice sets x 8 ice spikes on explode = 104).
Alberto	Wind	Lightning	Use the Wind Siphon Field Effect to allow Static to not only Stun, but create powerful (but erratic) Thunder Storms and use System Shock to keep enemies locked in the area of the Thunder Storms.
Tara	Earth	Earth	Use the Earth Siphon Field Effect to not only make use of attack-all abilities, but to fill the battlefield with Instant Death Bottomless Pit Chasms to end fights very early.
Pound	Earth	Nature	Use the Earth Siphon Field Effect to grow wide-area, high-damage Death Forests. A single Death Forest tree, if the enemy is hit across all stages of it from Mindspike to full grown Dark Arts-infused Death Forest tree, can do close to 3000 damage PER TREE (ignoring Dark Arts and Vampire damage boosts to Pound, Pound's choice of weapon, debuffs like Claire's Throat Jab, etc.), making Pound's slow growing Death Forest deadly if the party keeps the enemy fighting where the forest grows.
Cook	Fire	Fire	Use the Fire Siphon Field Effect to start and spread fires using Field Flame, Viper Beam/Dragon's Breath, Viper Blast/Incendiary and Far Shot with Conflagration to create a field of damage-over-time flames that waste away the enemy while Cook fights on as usual. An enemy suffering from damage from 5 flames at once will suffer 75 damage per second (150 if Cook has a max level Burnarang), and this large area will ensure that more than one enemy will be engulfed in these infernos.
Claire	Water	Water	Use the Water Siphon Field Effect with Rainfall to cover the battlefield in up to 24 Knockdown-inflicting pools of water in one call so that they cannot fight back for a short time and suffer more damage while they're prone. For good measure, use Torrent to place even more pools of water onto the battlefield, and for even more good measure, use Toxic Gas/Acid Rain to make those pools of water poisonous.
Jimmy	Fire	Explosion	Use Shurikens and Smoke Grenades to fill enemies and the battlefield with combustible Fire Siphon tags, then use Crimson Force to detonate them in a chain for high damage and a ridiculous number of explosions under the Fire Siphon Field Effect. [EDIT: As of 2019/05/21, Smoke Grenade do not count towards this, just Shurikens]
Brooks	Earth	Gravity	Control who goes where on the battlefield. Use Field Tactics to drag allies to Brooks and use Power Drag to drag an enemy to Brooks (then deal Body attacks and blast them away), or throw out a Pandemonium to send enemies flying every which way. Use High Gravity and Black Hole to immobilize enemies and keep the Earth Siphon Field Effect active to enhance Brooks' other attacks and lower their movement speed with the Field Effect's sandstorm so that they move so slowly, they might as well be immobilized from that, too.
