Brawler

Brawler

2 builds

Brawler already wants to stack dodge, and Retromation's Hoodie converts that directly into a massive attack speed boost, turning your Unarmed weapons into a blender at close range while the Range penalty is irrelevant for melee.

Chef

Chef

1 build

Retromation's Hoodie lets a dodge-stacking bruiser Chef convert Dodge into massive Attack Speed, greatly increasing how often Flaming Brass Knuckles apply burns and trigger Chef’s bonus damage.

Cryptid

Cryptid

1 build

In a dodge-focused Cryptid build, Hoodie transforms his high dodge cap into a huge attack speed steroid, and the range penalty is less relevant since Cryptid already plays close range.

Doctor

Doctor

2 builds

Retromation's Hoodie perfectly complements Doctor by converting dodge into a huge attack speed boost, helping to overcome the -100% Attack Speed penalty. Since Doctor already wants dodge for survival, this item dramatically scales both DPS and survivability at once.
