Zold:out – Rita Guide, Tips, and Tricks

Rita, the ‘Truth-Seeker,’ is an eccentric explorer who is always energetic, always impulsive, and always leaves nothing but triggered traps and destroyed ancient artifacts in her wake, much to the dismay of her sponsor, Charity. In combat, Rita is an archer who specializes in harassing or bursting enemies from a safe distance by using long-range bows, as well as escaping from those who try to get close to her.

Tips, Tricks, and Thoughts

Rita is all about range, harassing enemies from afar while charging her ultimate, then using it to finish off a weakened priority target. While her passive 1, exclusive weapon, and ultimate are all very powerful, they all have a long minimum range, so it is vital for her to be paired with teammates that can prevent enemies from moving in too close. Such characters include:

• Those with easily accessible knock back effects, such as Sarah and Josephine, or with access to knock back weapons, such as Archers with Shortbows or Trap Launchers, Mages with Storm Wands, and Healers with Tomes of Holy Light.
• Tanky Swordsmen, such as Luther or Faustina, or summons, such as Arianna’s Mr. Rabbit or Felicia’s Chicks, who can be used to create a front line.
• Those with freezing or electrocution effects, such as Adelaide, Eileen, Lisa, and Nicola.

Rita’s second passive, Fugitive, can often make it difficult for enemies to attack her more than once at a time, as she will often recoil herself away from their effective range. Ensure that Rita is always facing towards enemies, as the recoil always sends her backwards, regardless of from where she took damage from. Otherwise, it may instead recoil her towards danger.
