Best characters for Adrenaline
Characters that pick up Adrenaline in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Ghost
5 builds
Adrenaline directly rewards Ghost's high dodge by adding more dodge and giving a 50% chance to heal on every dodge, which is crucial when each hit is extremely dangerous.
Soldier
2 builds
Adrenaline turns dodge into healing, giving Soldier another powerful sustain tool that works even when you refuse to move during hectic waves.
Fisherman
2 builds
Adrenaline synergizes with Fisherman’s need to dodge many projectiles from Bait enemies. Combined with high Dodge and items like Riposte, it both heals you and keeps you alive while you greed more Bait and farm dense waves.
Knight
2 builds
Adrenaline pairs perfectly with high dodge Knight builds, giving both dodge and powerful healing whenever he dodges. This turns defensive dodges into sustain, especially strong combined with Riposte.
Ranger
3 builds
Adrenaline turns Dodge into a powerful sustain tool. For a low‑HP ranged character like Ranger, healing on successful dodges makes occasional mistakes far less punishing in late waves.
Cryptid
1 build
Further rewards Cryptid’s dodge-heavy style by adding extra healing on dodge, compensating for his lack of life steal and supporting aggressive positioning around trees.
Sick
2 builds
The extra dodge stacks well with Sick’s defensive gameplan, and conditional healing on dodge adds another small but meaningful sustain layer on top of the already strong Life Steal.
Baby
