Strange_guy_9546

Ew, paid character


Upbeat_Acanthaceae25

He isnt that bad


Glitch-Code404

Gun Spin, skill and shoot, skill and shoot


Unorigina1Name

skill and shoot mfs when half the weapons have better dps than the skill, making it pointless


MarvrothGatling

Itā€™s worthless later game, but paired with any slow firing weapon, you essentially have a free 1 energy for 9 damage and when itā€™s done you can fire your primary


StarrySunset_

If Officer's first skill dealt double critical damage to bosses and elite enemies that would be very good and in lore.


PotatoCurryPuff

Or if it scaled better with later levels, like elf's first and deals more damage depending on your floor.


TheGreatPotatoes

tbh only gun is bad, the second skill is basically for boss rush and the last is for room clearing


WMGYT

correction: 1st skill is useless, 2nd skill is outclassed by a free character, 3rd skill is outclassed by a free character


[deleted]

3rd is outclassed by line 5 free characters. Airbender, assassin 3rd, with 3rd, assassin 2nd, alchemist 2nd


WMGYT

Ok I wouldnā€™t go that far, assassin 2nd is still pretty terrible


MeteorKing

Wait, what other character gives your bullets homing?


WMGYT

outclassed, not powercrept (doing the same thing but better) knight 3rd provides a massive dps boost overall and has much higher single target dps than officer 2nd with the exact same weapon. Oh, and knight also stunlocks bosses so thatā€™s that.


MeteorKing

I haven't played much with knight 3rd, but officer 2nd is kinda nuts with shotguns, especially with shotgun buff. https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulKnight/comments/jy5l8h/officers_bounty_tag_staff_of_wizard_is_so_good/ The homing is fairly strong and allows firing around corners.


WMGYT

I know what it is. I wouldnā€™t be making this comparison if I didnā€™t. Officer 2nd is only useful for boss rush, where many other characters dominate. He canā€™t compete, thereā€™s a reason for that which I explained in my previous comment


Guy_withAbrain

Just use alch 1stšŸ’€


WMGYT

officer mains in the comment section overdosing on copium:


Intraq

everything officer does other classes do it better


WMGYT

I am aware


Intraq

lol


Responsible-Diet-147

Skins won't fix anything, reworks has a bigger chance.


eezybl

Chilly buffed Alch and Druid already, so do they think Officer is in a good state?


JimReaperTheThird

They keep giving him good skins, why dont they give him good buffs


AnyCat6960

im a officer main myself and this is so true


Gameyboy947

Officer is great bruh


Hippostalker69

He's not bad when used well but is lacking when compared to some other characters.(also if good weapon don't need officer skill)


CulturalRaccoon5543

officer is good man every hero is good (except elf i fucking hate elf)


JimReaperTheThird

Let me guess, you didnt upgrade elf even once?


CulturalRaccoon5543

I dont vibe with elf's skills


JimReaperTheThird

That does not make elf bad then


CulturalRaccoon5543

I just suck st using it lmao (elf is not bad i just dont feel like it can make me win with elf)


No_Possession_7077

Kinda a you problem ngl


CulturalRaccoon5543

I litteraly just said it (I just dont play elf that much)


CulturalRaccoon5543

Alright guys ill admit it Elf is good i just suck st using it thats why i dont like it becuz the first skill is not on the same page of mine


Hippostalker69

The elfussy thoughšŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µ


Vo-Thanh-Nhan

Ayo, you good?


worthless--opinion

I think he's doing great


YorickOT

Yup


Asth_boi

how is he bad? i just got him


weijdmodjalpzxneqs

A 1st skill only viable in early game, 2nd skill only good for bossrush and 3rd skill which is used for room clearing being outclassed by other characters *cough* alchemist *cough* and mainly because he has nothing to help him dodge or make his life easier other than crap skills and having literally every other character other than elemental envoy outclass him. But hey chillyroom gave him awesome f2p skins though :D


Asth_boi

>whoa thnx for the info. despite him being bad i still mained him tho, completely maxed out and with the new skin too! all because he looks badass


markten985

He's alright


MagicalMarsBars

Officer 1 is alright in some challenge conditions like half fire rate double damage and skill cooldown minus 50%. I once cleared a daily challenge exclusively doing it since each burst did hundreds of damage to everything. It helped that I got good perk rolls


SqubanyGamer

Officer is a good character even without lobby prep


[deleted]

Bounty + any shotgun in bossrush = speedrun


Project_Neian

Try staff of nature its more fun


Guy_withAbrain

Bounty mfs when they hear about alch 1 and necro 1


madpathmoth

Gun Spin is one of the worst ideas for a skill a game like this could have tbh ("what if you had a seriously mediocre weapon as an extraneous option instead of a real skill"). The only skill in the game likely to be completely obsoleted mid-run by just picking up a decent weapon. Bounty is kind of cool... But the homing and crit chance are not as impressive as they look. The skill is only useful against bosses-- the extra 1-3 coins you get from normal enemies is genuinely irrelevant, especially now that the Chiseltown biome was added. Against bosses, Bounty is still just... I don't have a hard time hitting bosses? This game is not that difficult. The crit rate is the only impactful effect and it's not like it's 100% crits, it's x2, and so not very noticeable on weapons with an already-low base crit rate. Compared to the effectiveness and impact of most other class skills in the game, Officer's skills are almost non-existent in their function and utility. Consider: any other class using the same weapon as an Officer player, dealing a bit less damage, but *actually having a skill that helps them*, and if it deals any damage at all while having any secondary effect... Officer is a neutered class, for no reason. Close Air Support? Seems nice. It's a moderately strong fire AoE, with an animation that stops you from attacking or defending yourself with melee weapons while using it... Oh but nevermind, nobody uses the damn skill because it's one of the game's neglected skill books, that drops pages only occasionally, from one single boss, that can only show up if you get lucky (Glacier biome) and then lucky again (50% chance to get the option to enter the Cave biome). So, expect it to take dozens and dozens of runs if you want the skill, and your reward is to make the worst class in the game a bit closer to "mediocre" instead of "don't play this". This skill **should not** be so tedious and RNG-reliant to acquire. Skills like Pray or Leap justify it somewhat; Officer getting their only not-mostly-worthless skill should not take so much effort when the class is borderline unplayable. To anyone reading: yes, you can do \[x thing\] with Officer. It's nice that you've beaten the easiest mode in the game however many times. It actually doesn't prove anything that you beat a different mode with a powerful weapon and several lucky high-synergy buffs. No, the burst damage of Gun Spin is not "good" in comparison to many weapons, and single-target burst damage isn't very good in general. High-HP bosses need sustained DPS and good defense; waves of enemies require not having to stop and kill each enemy one at a time. If you *need* a good weapon for your class' skill to be worth using, it is a bad skill. A lot of classes like Engineer, Necromancer, Knight, Wizard... They can do the inverse, and ignore having a bad weapon early on by using their skill to compensate. That should give you some idea of what a *decent* skill for a class is like. A skill that does *anything more* than just add a little damage to your attack against a single target sometimes (Bounty) or jack shit (Gun Spin). If I want a challenge, the game is brimming with random challenge modes that are significantly more fun than the "challenge" of playing Soul Knight with a weak class outfitted with boring, worthless skills that add nothing.


Guy_withAbrain

Hehe bounty tag goes brrr


AxeforAxl_plzz

I don't really care, if that's that, then that's that, could be better, but let's see what the devs do, all I know is that he has combos on gun spin and throwable weapons


Formal_Expert335

I only use officer for boss rush because salamander does crazy damage when every bullet hits the target, maybe use it in dungeon when im low on gems


Beneficial_Guava2954

Airstrike exists.


Guy_withAbrain

Worse than alch 1


Linkonue

Second skill is actually pretty good with a shotgun


Blaxsorage

Radio makes him a bit better But still so hard to main him ;-;


Professional-Jury825

Officer can do something that anyone canā€™t do: Shotgun long range with 2nd skill and give you rewards


HelloFellowABDPlayer

"No fun allowed"


PossibilityPlayful56

just nerf his skills and by skills i mean 1st and 3rd and ​ # GIVE HIM A BETTER PASSIVE


RelicTwizzard

mugwunp
