Doctor

## C-Skin

Unlocked by dying to your active

*Doctor has the benefit of all mutations having additional benefits, at the cost of less radiation. She can also convert Health into Rads, for a delicate balance of risk and reward.*

## Features

Doctor begins with a revolver and a standard amount of ammo.

Every mutation's effects are either slightly increased *(EX: Rhino Skin gives 5 max health instead of 4)* or have some added benefits. *(EX: Patience allows you to select another mutation instantly)*

Doctor receives 50% less rads from enemies. Also, radiation canisters are much less likely to spawn.

## Special

Doctor can convert 1 health into a pile of 16 rads.

## Throne Butt

With Throne Butt, Doctor's active now creates 26 rads.

## Ultra Mutations

 Plague Doctor |  | Your active changes into "*Infest enemies using rads*".
Throne Butt decreases rad cost.
 Necromancer |  | Your active changes into "*Revive corpses into ally Freaks*".
 Sedative |  | Your projectiles put enemies to sleep for a short moment.

### Surgeon

 **Bolt Marrow** | 7 homing strength
 **Shotgun Shoulders** | 9 speed
 **Recycle Gland** | +14%
 **Boiling Veins** | 6 HP
 **Energy Brain** | +1 strength

## Gameplay

Doctor's abilities allow her to quickly gain levels at the cost of health, making for a balance of risk/reward, Crown of Life makes her able to exchange leftover health for rads and get it back on the next level. Most mutations are slightly better as Doctor, allowing for some increased flexibility with creating a build. Doctor's ultras B and C completely replace her active ability with two alternate, incredibly potent abilities.

## Unlock Method

Unlocked by reaching Level Ultra with any character.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Rhino Skin - Increases your max HP by 5, improving your survivability, and giving you a larger pool of health to sacrifice for rads.
* Bloodlust - Allows you to use your active to gain rads more frequently.
* Rabbit Paw - Increases the chances of medkit drops which may be used for your active.
* Plutonium Hunger - Reduces the distance you have to walk to grab a medkit and rads, letting you stay safely out of danger.
* Sharp Stress - Increases DPS the lower you have your health, creating an added benefit to going lower with your active. Also damages enemies upon using your active.
* Strong Spirit - Gives you an extra hit and brief invincibility if you were to take lethal damage from a hit, helping to mitigate the risk of lower health. Recharges at 75% health.
* Second Stomach - Doubles the amount of health from any medkit, and thus doubles the amount of rads you can receive from them.
* Rage - Rage stacks build 25% faster than other characters, allowing for an incredible increase in firerate and droprate over the course of a run.
* Tough Shell - Greatly lowers any damage above 4, significantly increasing survivability.
* Open Mind - An absurd amount of chests spawn, which frequently includes radiation canisters.
* Glass Arm Cannon - Taking this as Doctor will only reduce your max health by 1, which minimally affects your survivability.

### Unlocking B-Skin

Using the Crown of Life regenerates your health at the start of each level. If you avoid taking damage, you can drain your health to 1 using your active at the end of each stage to gain levels easily. Open Mind also spawns many chests, including Radiation Canisters (and spawns more when playing as Doctor), making a good secondary source of rads.

## Trivia

* Doctor was added in update #21 of the Ultra Mod.
* Doctor cannot use her active while near a portal.
* It is possible for Doctor to kill herself using his active. This still generates rads, even though they cannot be collected.
* Doctor's unused race\_back is "Less HP cost?".
* Doctor supposedly is referred to using five different names in the game's code.
