Errr
Lnks pretty good
Caveman too?

Either the Caveman or the Skeleton Queen for me.

The Caveman has a bound "Large Club" with a hitbox greater than the Scythe, Which can hit 4-5 zombies per swing. Her stats can build into higher levels of strength/fitness fairly easily. (Not entirely sure on this but I believe her strength stat can also go one level above the normal cap). She is a one-person army, And it's the only run I've had where I've never needed guns after finding her.


The Skeleton Queen on the other hand can summon additional units. You start with one undead skeleton each time you enter an area, However she spawns an additional 2-3 Skeletons each time she takes damage. (Health can still be recovered afterwards/From Healing Spray) She can resurrect once from death, Erupting in a massive explosion which kills all nearby zombies. Afterwards she turns into a skeleton, However she retains her abilities/Vitality level.

The nice thing about skeletons is that they require no additional food, Can wield any weapon in the game (Including rifles, However they need to find ammo from the current mission to fire), And have their own independent stamina/health bars. Skeletons don't carry over between missions, You always start with one however anything they're carrying when you leave is automatically added to your inventory.

thank you for your time typing that out lol. im gonna make sure to look out for those characters

GaioGuy!

I like Lnk. Even though he's not the most(er sword) powerful rare character, I think he's the best.

The Wizard is absolutely amazing and takes my vote. Get his fit up for maximum charged bolts, smooth wins every time!

Giga Guy. I made a post about him awhile back to have him nerfed from 10 food cost to recruit to 20. He can single handedly take out every siege without any help because of how powerful he is when using a half charged shot to clear zombies. Ranged character + unlimited ammo and his charged shots 1 shot zombies/furniture with a chance to pierce up to 3 zombies.

the wizard and giga guy sound awsome so im gonna be on the look out for them

The pirate is also crazy good : Correct stats, a good weapon (cutlass), and, best of all, a 20-shot cannon that reload between every mission.

No one said Contender? Incredible strength and fitness. Along with a more powerful melee that hits more and knocks back. Plus Vitality +2. Great all around character.

yeah but the fact that she can't pick up or use ANY type of weapon makes her much worse

hudsonhom5t you know they have boxing gloves right?

The Contender is no where near the best rare character in the game is probably what hudsonhorn5t is trying to say. From my 100+ hour of Death Road to Canada, most of these rare characters people have been listing aren't any better than a common character with a good weapon. Most of the rare character listed, I would much rather have a common character with a tactical spear equipped to be honest.

to reply to both of you essentially i'm agreeing with spacelobster i'd rather have a normal character that do normal things like say pick up weapons (unlike contender) but also there are a lot of rare characters that are better than common characters of course there are characters like kaiju who are utterely useless but then there's gigaguy who has a mid level gun THAT NEVER RUNS OUT OF AMMO
