Description

Acid status effect was coded and drawn by https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/marcymallow
Improvements to Acrid's abilities and balance was done by https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/rxjgamer

Acid Effect

Acrid's acid is a status effect will damage the opponent for around 3 seconds (200 frames), every stack of acid will reset the timer Attacks that inflict acid are: Uspecial, Nspecial, Nair, Ftilt.

Uspecial - Caustic Leap:

Acrid will leap into the air, upon impact with either the ground or an opponent it will end causing damage and inflicting the acid status effect. Landing on the ground will leave a small pool of acid that deals damage to opponents that stand in it. Can only be used in the air twice.

Fspecial - Caustic Sludge:

Acrid will charge through the stage for as long as you hold special whilst secreting an acidic sludge that slows and damages opponents that stand in it, while making Acrid faster. The sludge lasts for 3 seconds, and the move's cooldown is 3 seconds.

Dspecial - Toxic Bubble:

Acrid spits out a bubble that deals damage when the opponent stands in it similar to the Caustic Sludge. After 5 seconds it will explode dealing damage and knockback. Acrid can bounce on top of as well as hit it around the stage.

Nspecial - Neurotoxin:

Acrid spits out a slow moving projectile that does small damage, and inflicts the acid status effect on the opponent.

Alternate Skills

Select a different version of a move on the character select screen.

Alt Effect - Blight:

Stacks increase damage, rather than resetting duration. Shorter base duration (120 frames).

Alt Fspecial - Dissolving Ambush:

Spit out a puddle of sludge, and then teleport to it by using Fspecial again. Sludge does not increase Acrid's speed.

Alt Uspecial - Frenzied Leap:

Increased damage and knockback, but each of the two uses has a 6 second cooldown. Hitting an opponent will reduce the cooldown by 2 seconds. Doesn't proc acid, doesn't leave a pool.

Acrid and Risk of Rain were developed by Hopoo Games and are owned by Gearbox Software

Both Uspecial's are a bit to good in terms of how long they give you a hit box and the seeming inclusion of super-armor on them. Both of them basically can be used at any point on stage to freely edge guard with his Alt Fspecial. It makes him stupidly oppressive and insanely annoying and unfun to fight. As this move is so much better than his entire kit to a drastic extent.

His alt Fspecial is.. Drastically better in nearly all situations than the default. The ability to have mixups and being able to get out of bad positions/recover no matter what while being really hard to camp due to the big hitbox you make when you return is crazy. The default of speed increase doesn't make up for losing the recover/mixup/combo avoidance of the alternite and the default needs a buff in my opionion.

The Frenzied Leap is his easiest and most consistent kill move which is really strange.

I love the gameplay of him but the raw strenght of the uspecials has made my friends never wanna face him

Hey I was play-testing this character for a CPU tournament I'm gonna be hosting soon and I noticed a bug that occurs when on the character select screen.
If Acrid is set as a CPU, you are unable to interact with any of the other CPU tokens on the screen to change their character. The only way I was able to remedy this was to set the Acrid player back to Human before selecting the other characters.

If you could find the time to remedy this, it would be much appreciated.
