Hello Retriever folks! During the Early Access period, we plan to create a space to introduce a Teammate you can recruit every week. We'll explore how to utilize existing Teammates bi-weekly, and in the remaining weeks, we'll introduce new Teammates!
Gasoline Rod
The first protagonist of Teammate Highlight is "Rod," the first Teammate that the player meets while playing the game! The self-made businessman Rod spreads the power of passion throughout the universe based on his success story. Even in the team, he takes on the role of igniting the passion of team members!
Rod has a powerful effect of re-rolling the Buddy. It's not merely re-rolling; it has a very Gestor-like ability to re-roll without the same side coming up again.
Usage
Rod's most basic usage is exploiting the fact that the same side won't come up again. Especially if there are only two sides, you can undoubtedly get the side you want, so you can use it to solve even challenging missions. There's good synergy with Teammates like Scar and Wally, who need to show a specific side.
Re-rolling itself doubles the effect of other Teammates, so it can have good synergy with Teammates that generate a lot of resources. In the case of Teammates who create many resources in one space, there might be waste, but with a broad range of providing aura like Stella or Fog, you can utilize Rod's effect without waste.
Weaknesses
If there is a weakness to Rod, it's that the box to re-roll the desired Teammate is fixed. Additionally, with a 4:2 die, its self-stability is somewhat lacking, so the more challenging the quest you need to solve, the more ambiguous moments you will encounter.
To overcome these weaknesses, you can either sprinkle aura to reduce Rod's generation burden or use equipment like Broken Tata that can additionally draw specific aura to fill Rod's position.
