Honestly if you changed it so that if Liv dying when playing as Yara wasn't an instant lose condition (and instead you just lose him for the rest of the run) she'd probably be A tier.

"She"

[@MrSupersonic2012]

@@ChrisYorky Lev's wiki page literally refers to them as He/Him. So you're wrong. I assume you probably identify with the old grumpy guy at the beginning of the game who didn't like Ellie because she likes to kiss girls? Also they're video game characters so who the hell cares?

@MrSupersonic2012 you know you can edite Wikipedia right? It's not facts. And to each their own bud.

[@amaanarain2774]

Just started playing this today, loving it so far. Tons of replayability

[@kekahoz]

They should add an endless mode to this, would really help the games replayability even more, also you could easily have the leaderboards track the furthest wave people have got to.

[@bladechild2449]

If the intention is to ramp up encounter difficulty along the way, I doubt endless would scale very well. It already gets pretty crazy insane at the end of the run with waves of 6/7 enemies on assaults that start in combat.

[@kekahoz]

@@bladechild2449 I mean I was more thinking that they could make it so there's multiple bosses per boss stage, or just make enemies more aggressive or faster, I thinking spamming enemies should only really happen further along if they were going to do this.

[@sam_apollo1187]

and maybe a special run you can select where your character is swapped each encounter and your guns and abilities are rerolled would be kinda cool

[@VivaBlackMesa]

I think it would be neat if they just kept adding more and more gameplay mods if it was endless. Like round 5 difficulty just more and more volatile

[@sam_apollo1187]

or like an all boss ecounters runs expect you start with mats and materials and guns@@VivaBlackMesa

[@krayzieridah]

Abby is my favorite character to play as. Her close-quarter combat style is very brutal and satisfying, and I love it!

[@amaanarain2774]

I’m stoked for this mode and will for sure be playing it. Happy to see Ellie in S tier lol

[@bladechild2449]

Joel is S tier for one simple reason - he gets shivs. Clickers are the only thing in the game that can just one shot you unless you have a shiv. And getting them with any other character is extremely RNG as you rely on the outpost. Don't even consider doing a run where the boss is the theatre infestation with any other character

[@futurestoryteller]

Not being able to dodge is too much of a disadvantage. Clickers' walk speed is actually kinda slow compared to other infected of the same size. Their flails can be dodged, you can stun them with throwables, and they die instantly from environmental melee weapons, at least on moderate. They're also vulnerable when you feed them something, which you can do with both people and infected, they're not good against shotguns blasts - _and_ a Shiv costs resources that can be used to make melee upgrades _and bombs_ both of which have potential to kill clickers in one shot where shivs are not a guaranteed one hit kill mechanism, like they are in the first game. Don't get me wrong they're an invaluable resource, but perhaps more trouble than they're worth.

[@nicolaslalonde2807]

I used pipe bombs galore ez

[@adamdennison80]

​@futurestoryteller he don't need dodge when his revolver one hits runner with increased accuracy already there.

[@BrayWs]

When you play on grounded everything can potentially 1 shot you 😂😂

[@chriscastaneda6652]

Manny seems like my type of character, the fact that you can craft bullets is nice and extra health

[@Laevatheinn]

They gotta add dodge to Joel and Tommy, seems to really hold them back.

[@jenishmaharjan9655]

Did u see the video, it clearly states can't dodge but takes less damage and deals from more damage to melee enemies

[@Laevatheinn]

[@ombra711]

@@jenishmaharjan9655 Its bad if you depend on dodge, you literally play the game differently and getting backed into a corner with no shivs will get you stun locked to death.

[@maineman5757]

[@adamdennison80]

Nah Jesse is better, since he starts with the pipe bomb recipe, he basically has Abbys animations anyway.

[@kaant21]

Jesse is my fav character having 6 bomb basically insta kill all bosses

[@peezytheproducer116]

Kinda funny hearing Dina being an “explosives expert” all I think of is Seattle day 1 when that clicker runs into a trip wire mine and Dina screams “WTF WAS THAT?!” And Ellie calmly says a trip mine and then Dina says confused “A WHAT!?!?” 😂😂😂😂

Bice catch. During the story never saw Dinas talents in think ehehe

Might wanna cover the weapons available and how good they are in the run. For instance I got the explosive arrows for the bow and they easily got me to the boss. Only to betray me when a zombie dropped right in front of me when I fired.

[@heyitssgeri]

It's a great video, thanks! 🤛I already love No Return. Just start a few days ago to play NR, but Jesse is a "S" grade character too imo. +30% coins and the unlimired re-roll is very helpful after a completed level. In combat, the silencer and the pipe bomb are to be too op sometimes (on grounded). He is a great mixed character by Joel and Abby. He got only pros almost.

[@themoviefan9990]

Why is Mel playable instead of Owen? Did anyone even like Mel?

[@frusci.t]

we had no combat cenarios with Owen, we did with Mel

[@jonsinatra3194]

Probably because we needed a medic chracter, it was Mel or Nora

[@kingmedjai9433]

Probably alot easier. All the characters that are playable are characters that already have combat animations in the main story

[@leonthesleepy]

Looks like they removed dodge for Joel and Tommy to handicap them a bit...

[@moonlightxmusic6382]

exactly what i’m saying. if they could dodge they would be too op

[@r0yalr0sePT]

At least block, not as good as dodge cause it doesnt reposition. But Part 1 Joel could block

[@PapaDon911]

I have a question any permanent unlocks for future runs for each character also, what about the custom mode

we need an endless mode with waves and a boss fight every like 5-10 waves. with recourses spawning in crates just like they already do at the end of each wave

So when you die you lose your character upgrades but not your character cosmetics, right?

[@Xerx3s1]

Only your upgrades and weapons. Character cosmetics get equipped before you start a run.

Accessibility and post-game cheat codes both feature slow-motion options, and No Return is a singleplayer campaign. So I'm pretty sure you can use whatever you want. I would be surprised if they allowed cheats during daily runs though.

Joel not dodging isn’t a problem simply because you shouldn’t play as him the same way you would Ellie or the others, you should have shivs crafted all the time and at least a melee weapon all the time, he can also get kills using the bricks like in part 1 so that’s saving ammo and crafting.
