Adriana/Playstyle Tips

In-Game Tips

 * Adriana's Arson makes it difficult to search for items by constantly damaging enemies who search.
 * Use Blaze to set enemies on fire, which reduces their healing from consumables by 30%, and deal additional damage to enemies in a Fire Area set by Arson.

General
Adriana relies on her extremely strong early game to establish a lead and then maintain it to win games. As a result, she is one of the best characters to build Thrown weapons like Bone Crusher and High Explosive Grenade with high early damage to then contest others for areas she needs to build armor and food, or to simply fight others to establish a mastery lead. This complements her strong attack and combat ability, making her very fearsome if no one is able to keep up with her damage output. If she does manage to fall behind in mastery, her strong attack is still able to keep her on par with other characters with weaker weapons and attack.

Abilities
Blaze is one of the best combat abilities in the game. It deals an additional ten skill damage which is very helpful early. More importantly, it also inflicts Burned. Blaze is particularly helpful for contesting areas throughout the game, to hinder whoever is in the lead or whoever is closest to catching up to Adriana, or even for final rounds. This is because a reduction in healing can be very detrimental, especially if players are saving up food that heals for a great amount which makes Blaze very deadly, since Burned lasts for twelve seconds. Furthermore, if Adriana has already activated Arson, then enemies suffer an additional ten skill damage.

On that note, Arson too is amazing for a few of the same reasons why Blaze is one of the best combat abilities in the game and more. It helps contesting for areas and is great for final rounds. This is because the amount of health people lose simply from searching adds up over time and with Adriana usually outputting very high damage, enemies are very likely to die simply from attempting to contest Adriana through her Arson. To add to this, Adriana doesn't suffer any damage penalty from searching herself. Enemies also cannot Rest through Arson so it serves as a disruptive counter for enemies who try to benefit from Hart's Peace Zone. Adding to all of this, it is very helpful when contesting for a dead body, fighting through Arda's No Digging or for defending the Research Center as even if Adriana leaves, enemies are still required to not search temporarily or are forced to suffer the damage penalty of searching through Arson.
