Rico

Fires bullets that bounce off walls and gain reach from the bounce. Use the geometry to reach a lane indirectly, while remembering that a broken wall removes that angle.

Fires an extended burst that passes through enemies and bounces off walls, gaining reach. A useful wall angle can threaten several targets without requiring Rico to stand directly in their lane.

Deploys a vending machine that releases projectiles in all directions when destroyed. Its Gadget Buffie lets Rico load more projectiles by shooting the machine. Consider where the eventual burst will travel before spending ammunition to strengthen it.

Fires a large gumball that splits into smaller projectiles on hitting a wall or enemy Brawler. Its Gadget Buffie makes the projectiles slow enemies. Aim around the split location; this is an offensive projectile tool, not the former bounce-healing Gadget.

Adds damage to main-attack and Super bullets after their first bounce. Its Star Buffie adds Super charge from bounced hits. Use the wall angle when it helps you connect; forcing a ricochet is not worthwhile if a reliable direct shot is available.

Increases Rico's movement speed at low health. Its Star Buffie strengthens the speed bonus as health falls further. Use that movement to escape pressure or find another angle, not as a reason to stay exposed while nearly defeated.

Lets the Super's projectiles travel farther after bouncing. Plan the rebound route before firing; the added reach is most useful when the walls guide the burst through relevant space.

Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.

Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.

Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.

Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.

Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.

Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.

If unlocked and the related ability is usable, this automatic upgrade modifies the selected Gadget. It is not an additional equipment choice. MULTIBALL LAUNCHER: Rico can load more projectiles into the vending machine by hitting it with his bullets before it explodes. MULTIBALL: The large gumball and its smaller projectiles also slow enemies.

If unlocked and the related ability is usable, this automatic upgrade modifies the character's Hypercharge. It is not an additional equipment choice. TRICK SHOT KING: Increases main-attack bullet speed and adds projectiles during Hypercharge.

If unlocked and the related ability is usable, this automatic upgrade modifies the selected Star Power. It is not an additional equipment choice. SUPER BOUNCY: Bounced bullets give additional Super charge when they hit. ROBO RETREAT: Strengthens the movement-speed benefit further as Rico's health falls.
