When to pick Rock

Pick the Rock early in your run, especially if you're using characters like Old or Gladiator who benefit from extra armor and health. It's ideal when you need to bolster your defenses without sacrificing too much damage output.

When to skip Rock

Skip the Rock if you're focusing on high damage output or ranged builds, as its benefits are more defensive and may not align with aggressive strategies.

Dwarf

Rock synergizes perfectly with a tanky Dwarf playstyle, giving armor and max HP on upgrades while still scaling from your passive Melee Damage, letting you safely stand in crowds to trigger Engineering gains.

Ogre

2 builds

Rock provides high base melee damage plus valuable Armor and Max HP, perfectly matching Ogre's need for huge single hits and tankiness to trigger explosions from the middle of enemy packs.

Old

2 builds

Rock is the perfect weapon for Old because it provides both Armor and Max HP on upgrades, fitting his stand-still, tanky melee playstyle. With a smaller map and slower enemies, Rocks reliably hit clustered foes while you stack defenses and Melee Damage.

Curious

2 builds

Rock synergizes well with Curious by adding both armor and max HP on upgrades, giving you the tankiness needed to aggressively chase loot aliens through thick enemy waves. As a melee option, it keeps your weapon pool diverse and helps you avoid stacking too many duplicates.
