A samurai pulled through time finds himself on Petrichor V
About this mod Author’s original text
Samurai
This mod adds a custom survivor to Risk of Rain Returns; the Samurai.
Slice enemies with his blade, throw shurikens that make them bleed, and parry predictable attacks,
but don't forget to take a break and enjoy a pleasant drink every now and then!

Skills
Primary - Oma Kugiuchi
Samurai's primary ability is a straight forward melee combo, dealing 150% damage with each hit.
Secondary - Shuriken
Samurai throws a shuriken that deals 60% damage on impact, and then bleeds the enemy for 4x35%
total damage. Throws more as he gets more drunk.
Utility - Flash
Samurai briefly enters a defensive stance and becomes invulnerable. If an enemy hits him during
this he will counter with a swift slashing attack that deals 70% damage and resets his Shuriken
and Sip cooldowns, allowing you to build up drunk stacks. The counter attack gets more slashes as
he gets more drunk.
Alternate Utility - Instant Flash
Much the same as Flash, but with a tighter parry window and 120% damage counterattack instead of
just 70%. Very risky, but the reward can be worth it.
Special - Sip
Samurai spends a moment sipping his sake, gaining a stack of drunkenness that lasts 20 seconds.
The cooldown is 30 seconds, so you'll need to reduce or reset it (usually by using Flash) to build
more stacks.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer hopefully works, but it's hard to test and so it might not. Please give it a go and let
me know if you run into any issues.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. If the mod depends on a loader such as ReturnOfModding, install it first as the readme describes.
