Bio: Not much is known about the Drifter.

For the purposes of the RT I am assuming the Drifter has every upgrade.

Note the Drifter and Alt Drifter are very similar except for three things.

• The Alt Drifter uses a drone for their attack.

• The Alt Drifter dash is slightly longer than the Drifter's dash

• The Alt Drifter has somewhat less health than the Drifter.

Strength

• Can shatter crystal formations that are larger than the Drifter with repeated strikes from their sword.

  ^{NOTE: Destroying this crystal formation is necessary to complete the game be it by sword, guns or Roly Poly.}

• Shatter groups of large crystals with a power attack.

• Shatter a crystallized Hanged Man with a sword strike (might be related to a bug).

• Shatter wooden boxes with a sword strike.

• Strikes from their sword break pieces of crystal off the Crystal Golems.

• Destroy a large metal box thing with repeated strikes.

• Destroy a large metal box thing with a power attack.

• Embeds their sword in the ground. In this case it was a stone floor but there are also times where they do this to metal floors.

• Over the course of a battle disembowels The Emperor.

• Break out after getting encased in crystal.

• Decapitate enemies.

• Knocks enemies back hard enough they will be injured if they are hit into a wall or another enemy.

Speed/Mobility/Dashing

• Repeatedly stabs Judgement moving FTE.

• Can deflect some kind of gunfire (and sends it back faster than the initial bullet).

• Can cut missiles out of the air.

• Makes afterimages by dashing.

• When doing chain dashes makes a shitload of afterimages.

  • Under normal circumstances The Drifter can at most chain dashes 25 times in a row.
  • If the Drifter collides with a wall while chain dashing they will be knocked off their feed for a bit.
  • When the Drifter stops chain dashing they will slide a ways before regaining control.

• Can attack enemies while dashing past.

• Able to dash up certain types of walls.

• Dashing lets the Drifter cross over gaps.

• Can create a kind of shield while dashing which protects against projectiles including missiles.

Durability

• Can survives a hit from The Hanged Man who can shatter large crystals with a strike.

• Can survive the Emperor landing on top of them.

• Can survive various kinds of explosives including (but not limited to) missiles.

• Can Survive Judgement slamming into them.

  • Judgement is strong enough that striking near the Drifter will knock them over.

• Of course keep in mind they also can get hurt by small imps.

Guns/Equipment

Equipment

• The Drifter has healing packs which heal them.

• A teleporter that lets them teleport to teleportation platforms.

• They also have a drone that helps them interface with technology.

  • Doors
  • Force Fields
  • Elevators (minor spoilers but it is basically like all the others)
  • Teleportation pads
  • Activate Pillars

Weapon Power

These were all done with the pistol showing that the least powerful weapon (per shot) available to the Drifter can do these things. More powerful weapons will instead of taking a few shots to destroy large crystal formations only take one shot.

• Shatter piles of bones

• More Bones.

• Shatter metal boxes.

• Break wooden boxes.

• Destroy crystals

• Destroy the crystallized Hanged Man (might be related to a bug)

Specific Weapon traits

• The Pistol has a high ammo capacity and fire rate but low damage.

• The Zaliska is like the pistol but with less ammo capacity, lower rate of fire, larger bullets, recoil enough to push the Drifter backwards and a bit more damage

• The Shotgun short ranged weapon that fires a lot of weaker projectiles.

• The Crystal Shotgun fires four crystals that diverge then converge.

• The Rifle long ranged weapon that fires a beam. When the beam hits a solid object it makes a vapor cloud almost like it is supposed to be vaporizing the material.

  • This beam can pierce through enemies

• The Railgun most powerful weapon the drifter has takes a moment to charge before firing. When the beam hits a solid object it makes a vapor cloud almost like it is supposed to be vaporzing the material.

  • When it kills enemies it leaves them as a blackened corpse. It also causes the "special" death animation which basically shatters crystal enemies and decapitates everything else.

• Roly Polys are grenaides with large blast area. The Drifter can at most carry two at a time.
