The Rogue is unlocked by building the Refuge. They are a high-risk, high-reward class focused on Evasion and critical hits. Instead of equipping items directly, they collect trophies from defeated enemies and exchange them for new gear at the campfire.
Key Stats & Priorities:
- Evasion: Your primary defensive stat, allowing you to dodge attacks.
- Critical Hit Chance: Increases the likelihood of dealing bonus damage.
- Critical Hit Damage: Increases the amount of bonus damage from critical hits.
- Attack Speed: More attacks mean more chances to crit and evade.
- Vampirism: Crucial for healing, as Rogue has no direct defense.
Recommended Strategy:
Maximize Evasion to avoid damage. Place Forests and Thickets for attack speed. Use Watchtowers to help clear enemies. The Rogue's unique item exchange mechanic means you'll always have fresh gear, but it also means you can't save specific items. Focus on getting high-quality items at the campfire. Be wary of enemies with high accuracy or unblockable attacks.
