Best characters for Retromation's Hoodie
Characters that pick up Retromation's Hoodie in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Ghost
1 build
Retromation's Hoodie turns Ghost's stacked dodge into enormous attack speed, which synergizes perfectly with melee ethereal weapons that want to hit as often as possible.
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
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
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
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.
King
1 build
Retromation's Hoodie fits King’s high‑scaling playstyle by turning Dodge into massive extra attack speed, stacking multiplicatively with his tier IV bonuses and helping melee dagger builds reach absurd hit rates.
Mutant
2 builds
Retromation's Hoodie synergizes with the high Dodge targets recommended in the Endless builds, converting that Dodge directly into massive Attack Speed so your XP-scaling weapons can shred high-curse enemies.
Ranger
