Best Seeker Build In Risk Of Rain 2



The Seeker is a unique survivor even among Risk of Rain 2’s already-diverse cast. She has a stronger focus on crowd control and healing, and she is the only character so far who can revive dead teammates. This comes at the cost of her own DPS output, but with the right items, she can steamroll through enemies much like the other survivors can.




While not terribly impressive on solo runs, the Seeker drastically changes how multiplayer runs feel in ROR 2. Regardless of whether you’re alone or with friends, you need to get the right items to get the most out of this Seekers of the Storm survivor. Here’s a guide that covers the Seeker’s best items, as well as some notes on how to best use the class.

Given the game’s randomized nature, item builds in
Risk of Rain 2
are not absolute without the right artifacts. This guide is designed to give players an idea of what items they should look for when playing as the Seeker.

Updated December 3, 2024 by Marc Santos: Seeker’s damage output may be at the lower end of the spectrum compared to other ROR2 classes, but she’s still capable of dealing monstrous DPS with the right items. We’ve updated this guide to include an additional section covering the best Seeker items for a Soul Spiral/Sojourn build, which turns this otherwise decent character into one that’s both powerful and fun to play.

Core Items For Seeker In ROR 2

The Voidsent Flame item in Risk of Rain 2's logbook

The following items are the ones players should get first when they start a Seeker run. They form the backbone of Seeker’s basic build, and once you get all of them, you’re free to get other items based on your own preferences.


Item

Notes

Crowbar

Use this to one-shot enemies and trigger Band items.

Soldier’s Syringe

Significantly speeds up Seeker’s slow Primary Skill.

Kjaro and Runald’s Bands

Can be triggered whenever you deal more than 400% base damage in one attack.

Gasoline + Ignition Tank

Use to clear large groups and deal more damage to bigger targets.

Voidsent Flame

Synergizes with Crowbar to increase your one-shot potential.

Planula/Weeping Fungus/Medkit

Will heal you when Sojourn starts draining your health.

Repulsion Armor Plate

This item combined with the healing items above will let you use Sojourn indefinitely.

Seeker’s damage output is fairly low compared to other survivors like the Railgunner in ROR 2. However, since her attacks have high multipliers, she can trigger Band items fairly frequently. Voidsent Flame and Crowbar will let you get rid of smaller targets quickly, while the combined damage effects from Gasoline, Voidsent Flame, and both Band items will let you deal with bosses effectively.

Soul Spiral Seeker Build in ROR2

Soul Spiral, Seeker’s alternate secondary skill, is much better at dealing damage. It creates orbs that revolve around Seeker, damaging anything they touch. The following are the best items players can use for a Soul Spiral Seeker build that also aims to turn Sojourn into a hard-hitting nuke.

  • Razorwire – Soul Spiral provides a temporary barrier to Seeker when they hit enemies, allowing players to take advantage of Sojourn to trigger Razorwire without losing any health.
  • Focus Crystal – The best common item for increasing damage against enemies within melee range. Works on both Soul Spiral and Sojourn.
  • Repulsion Armor Plate/Planula – Either of these items are great for negating Sojourn’s health cost.
  • Medkit – Great for healing back any damage taken from Sojourn
  • Ukulele/ AtG Missile – Both items can proc off of Razorwire.
  • 57 Leaf Clover – Helps trigger on-hit effects more often.
  • Tesla Coil/Frost Relic – Great supplementary AOE damage to enemies at close range.
