Rotondo



Rotondo is a character created by Pecon7. He was created based off of one Blockland's Staff members.

Abilities & Toolset
Despite his large size, Rotondo has rapid acceleration and is capable of outrunning most of the bosses in the current roster (With the exception of Chaos Samus and STEYR-33). He has no weapons, that is assuming you're only looking at the inventory.

Rotondo's main (and only) attack is the punch, which is fairly slow but inflicts large amounts of damage at a time and knocks opponents back.

Right-clicking reveals a secondary ability, with which he can pound players at a large range and with much greater force than the punch can offer. The ability recharges in 10 seconds.

Playing as Rotondo

 * His quick movement can be used to hunt down slower and/or more vulnerable opponents.
 * With the large size comes a large hitbox, so use your speed to dodge incoming projectiles when possible. Also avoid projectiles with high knockback, as the boss has minimal control mid-air.
 * While being surrounded, using your right-click ability is crucial against a number of opponents without fall damage immunity. However, direct contact with them is not recommended.
 * Time your ability wisely, as you won't be able to move for a second while it's in use.

Playing against Rotondo

 * As much knockback as the boss can do, weapons with large knockback can often be an effective option to keep him away from direct contact. Weapons that fire very fast or hitscan projectiles are also a great bet while he's unable to move.
 * Avoid close-ranged combat at all costs while also keeping yourself at a safe distance.
 * Be mindful of your surroundings, as his ability can be proven deadly in places where your movement can be easily impeded.

Trivia

 * In Beta tests of Strife, the boss was known to have too powerful jump force, making players take unreasonable fall damage (usually peaking at several hundreds of HP) as a result.
