Overview
When I’ve played Dungeonland on multiplayer back in the day, I’ve noticed one thing. A lot of people choose Rogue and I will show how that turns out:I’m entering a server. Two players choose Rogue, so I chose too. During gameplay I saw that two of them are only throwing knives and dying after a minute. NOONE on my team used backstabs. The same situation appeared 13 times. That means:- 40% of people doesn’t know ANYTHING about backstabbing- 30% of people know what is backstab- 20% of people use backstab as Shadow Run potion- 10% of people know how to use it efficiently as special attackI think this guide will change your life and MASSIVELY help your team.
Basics
When you choose Rogue you must know basic controls
– LPM is throwing knives/shooting by gun/shooting by bow (it depends on profession you choose)
– Q is special attack (also depends on profession)
– PPM is backstabbing (the same funcion for all professions)
Now you know Rogue controls, now let’s talk about professions.
Assassin
Assassin Rogue throws knives, special attack throws several knives. Choose this profession if you think lost of damage in long period of time is enough.
Gunner
Gunner Rogue has gun (nuff said). Shooting it gives lots of damage in small amout of time, but gun shoots very slowly. Special attack shoots projectile that knock back small monsters and explodes after a few seconds, instantly killing the target. Use it for groups of monsters and DON’T use it on Elite monster, because it won’t explode.
Costs 750
Archer
This is the most complicated profession for Rogue. Shoots arrows that can be charged and can reach very far monsters (like on the border of your screen). Hold your LPM to charge your arrow. If the arrow glows, your arrow will deal maximum damage and penetrate enemies. Special attack throws spikes that can be used to deal more damage (more info on “Dealing additional damage” section). Monsters that are in the area of spikes, receive small damage.
Costs 1500
Backstabbing
Backstabbing is the most useful attack for Rogue (you haven’t noticed that bold text?)!
Can instantly kill all monsters, such as trolls, dire ducks, wizards, imps, everyone! Some Elites can also be killed instantly with backstab, but this is difficult and rare.
First of all, how to use it in action?
Make your teammates (Mage or Warrior) harrass the targets. Monster will then try attack your teammates, during which you have the time to strike. Go behind him and use PPM (by default) to kill your enemy. If the monster will turn and attacks you, get to him quickly with a roll and backstab. Do it as many times as you can.
You can also backstab A GROUP of monsters. If you’re advanced at backstabbing you can do it. Notice that during a backstab, you’re immortal to all attacks. If you backstabbed one enemy, backstab the next one. It can be suicidal, but If monsters are turned in one direction, this can be surprisingly easy. You’ll die alot, if you overuse backstab, but use common sense for each situation. Backstab only monsters that will cause problems, such as Trolls, Imps, Dire Ducks and Monkey Commanders.
Remember, that you can’t backstab Bosses.
Rogue potions
If you want to buy a potion, be careful when using it. Here is the list of potions and usages.
Bomb
Use it to throw bomb at your foes and deal damage. Works the same way as black sheep, but it has a timer. After throwing you can pick it up again, but you must then throw it as fast as you can, before it explodes in your hands. Blow up groups of monsters if you can’t defeat them or use it to damage slow Bosses.
Decoy
If your teammates doesn’t have time to disatract monsters, use Decoy instead. Teleports and leaves a ragdoll of you where you last stood. Monsters will attack it and you’ll have time to backstab them. You can also use it for quick escape.
Holy Hand Grenade
Damages monsters, heals allies. Easy? NO! A lot of people use them only for heals. For healing are Potion Supplies, not grenades. Sorry. Help your Warrior in battle and throw it at him. It will heal him and damage a group of monsters. Your mage can use Ray of Awesome instead, but if he is also surronded or he must wait to recharge, he can’t help him.
Potion Supplies
No white and green sheeps and checkpoint is far? Use Potion Supplies! Throw a barrel with some potions, that everyone can heal. Get close to it and press F by default. Your health will be replenished. Use it on Elite monsters or in a Boss battle. Why noone uses the barrel when I’m placing it?
Shadow Run
Teleport to players and backstab them all. For a lot of people, the only way to backstab. It’s false. Use it when you have problems with backstabbing or if you have a lot of enemies and you can’t get close to them. Use it propely, or you’ll have issues.
