When to skip Ricochet

Best characters for Ricochet
Characters that pick up Ricochet in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Crazy
1 build
Extra bounces are incredible with Shuriken, multiplying the value of your crits and range; Crazy's damage scaling and crit focus help offset the damage penalty.
Renegade
1 build
Ricochet gives every projectile an extra bounce, which combined with triple shots, pierce and multihit weapons causes bullets to pinball across the map and clear entire waves despite the damage reduction.
Apprentice
1 build
Ricochet is incredible with fast guns like Gatling Laser and Chain Gun, letting their already-piercing shots bounce into extra enemies. With Apprentice’s high scaling, the damage penalty is easily overcome.
Doctor
2 builds
Ricochet adds extra bounces to your projectiles, greatly improving wave clear with Medical Guns and especially late‑game explosive weapons. Doctor's sustain lets him play aggressively around packs, making bounced shots extremely efficient at clearing dense enemy groups.
Lucky
2 builds
Extra bounces for ranged weapons like Slingshot dramatically increase kill count and material drops, which feeds Lucky’s pickup damage and economy.
