Rebel

## B-Skin

Unlocked by completing a main area on loop as Rebel

## C-Skin

Unlocked by reaching Bandit Land

*Rebel does damage to herself to spawn allies and gets healed at the end of each level. She is meant to be played like a low health character that uses allies to do damage and for protection. Keeping her allies alive and spawning them at the right moment is key to using this character effectively, which usually leaves Rebel's health below 50%.*

## Features

When entering a portal at the end of each area, Rebel will refill half of her missing health. If the missing HP isn't even, the returned amount gets rounded down. For example, if Rebel is at 2 out of 8 HP, she is missing 6 HP and will be healed 3.

## Stats

### Rad Drop:

5

Spawns an ally that shoots enemies at the cost of health. Allies are fairly quick, moving at a speed close to that of a rat. They do not aggro enemies but can still take damage from them. They also act as a source of light in the dark areas.

Spawning the first ally costs 1 HP. The cost increases to 2 HP if at least one ally is currently alive. Special will not work if using it would kill the player.

Allies bleed for 20 seconds and then die, leaving behind 5 rads and there's a 3% chance for a pickup. It will be either an ammo or health pickup. Drops being HP instead of ammo depend on your total health. The lower it is, the bigger the chance of an ammo pickup becoming a health pickup, basically going from 0% to 66% as your health nears 0. These are the same rules as for every health pickup in the game. Allies will also fire a ring of 14 projectiles around the location of their death, each doing 3 damage.

Summoning another ally heals any pre-existing allies, lengthening their initial lifespan. All allies die after an area ending portal opens.

If an ally moves too far from Rebel, it will teleport to her position.

## Throne Butt

Gives allies a better weapon which increases their fire rate by 60%. This is the only mutation that affects Rebel's allies.

## Gameplay

Rebel's allies can be a blessing on the battlefield; taking shots meant for you as well as dealing damage to enemies with shots of their own. Their help does come at the cost of 1 of Rebel's HP for the first ally on screen, which could allow you to gain some extra firepower to clear out a mob of enemies or aid in a boss fight for a small cost. However, any allies spawned in after the first one cost 2 HP. Melee weapons can be of use to the Rebel team as it deals with any projectiles that could damage the allies while doing damage of its own. Keeping an eye out for when your allies start to bleed is a big factor. Remember that summoning another ally heals the bleeding ones, but also remember how many you have spawned during that current floor because it may leave you with a squad of healthy allies but a close to death Rebel. It would be a wise idea to ration your health before you spawn in more than 2 allies, but you safely spawn in more if you find a source of health that helps compensate for the extra HP costs. At the end of the level, each ally dies, leaving Rebel a bunch of ammo pickups. That's also a high chance to get an ammo pickup each time an ally dies. With that in mind, Rebel can use high ammo consuming weapons such as the Minigun and build up her lost health at the end of each level.

## Unlock Method

Defeat the Nuclear Throne and loop for the first time.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Rhino Skin - a useful synergy as it allows you to stock up on more health and potential allies.
* Rabbit Paw - which increases the number of drops from enemies (the most useful of them being medkits).
* Second Stomach - to increase the value of those medkits.
* Sharp Stress - lowering your HP will give you a passive rate of fire buff each time you're under max health, and Rebel deals 2 damage to all enemies when summoning her first ally, and 4 damage after each additional ally spawned.
* Bloodlust - its vampiric nature allows Rebel to heal herself after using her active, allowing for more allies to be spawned.
* Back Muscle - as Rebel gets ammo from dead allies, it's a good idea to increase the ammo capacity.
* Throne Butt - changes your allies into serious killing machines with really high rates of fire.
* Hammerhead - summon an ally or two then duck into a wall.
* Boiling Veins - you can summon more allies and not worry about explosive or fire-related damage.
* Tough Shell - reduces the health required to summon allies after the first one by one. This allows you to summon a lot more allies.

### Unlocking B-Skin

Using allies is your best bet for unlocking this skin. Throne Butt and Sharp Stress both will help greatly. Rebel's Ultra B, Riot, will be your best bet for clearing a room. Scarier Face and/or Glass Arm Cannon can help your allies kill enemies faster.

### Unlocking C-Skin

In order to unlock Rebel's B-Skin, you need to visit the secret area Bandit Land as any character. There are two ways to enter Bandit Land. The first method is by entering the Inverted Volcano, and progressing. The next area you visit after the Inverted Volcano is Bandit Land. The other way to enter Bandit Land is to visit the second level in Wonderland without killing any sheep. A strange mushroom will spawn in the second level. Using the mushroom will take you to Bandit Land.
## Trivia

* Rebel used to be a bandit wandering the wastelands like any other bandit. She killed to survive but purposelessly lived only to kill. After hearing the alluring tale of the Nuclear Throne countless times, Rebel gathered some allies and set out to make reaching the Throne her purpose.
* Big Bandit was Rebel's brother. Driven by hate, Big Bandit will not hesitate to kill Rebel. Defeating Big Bandit as Rebel causes her to say something in a very sad tone. What she says could be translated to "protect everything/all" (EI KHA) or "lose everything/all" (EI HYA).
* Rebel's scarf is a gift from her brother. He gave it to her before the apocalypse. The scarf reminds her of better times.
* *"Rebel is more advanced brain wise than regular bandits, just like the other playable mutants and bosses, thus speaks proper trashtalk (main difference is, clever mutants have a better grasp of the concept of time in the language)."* - Joonas Turner
* The first two allies spawned by Rebel's Personal Guard Ultra Mutation will say *"Fläshyn"* after spawning in, which means *"Let's do this!"* in trashtalk. These allies are called *"Guard Bob"* and *"Guard Weave"* in the sound files. It's a reference to *"Bob and weave"*, a phrase often used by Youtube personality Sleepcycles.
* Rebel wears a parka in her B-Skin. She puts on the hood when in the Frozen City area.
* Rebel's unused race\_back is "Faster allies, allies teleport to you when lost", although allies already teleport when they get too far.
