Soulrift Ricochet — Rapid-Fire Ranged

Ricochet is the third shop character in Soulrift, priced at 1500 Souls, with 90 HP. He is the ranged fire-rate specialist — very high attacks per second with low per-hit damage. Role: sustained ranged DPS. Update 1.5 Cosmic Expansion reworked his Last Stand behavior, which changed how he plays in the burst window.

Kit overview

Ricochet’s identity is the highest raw attack rate in the roster. Where other characters deal bigger individual hits, Ricochet deals consistent chip through sheer volume. The low per-hit damage means his accessories and team comp choices emphasize sustained pressure rather than spike burst.

Key stat: very high attack speed. 90 HP means he cannot trade blows with melee characters — positioning is everything.

Strengths

• Highest effective DPS against high-HP targets due to sustained fire.
• Ranged positioning keeps him safe from dash-and-slash patterns.
• Accessories that boost attack speed multiply his effective damage more than on slower characters.

Weaknesses

• Low per-hit damage means low burst. Cannot secure kills on phasing bosses quickly.
• 90 HP is in the middle range but without mobility tools — kite vulnerability is real.
• Update 1.5 Last Stand rework changed his burst window behavior — confirm current kit in client.

Recommended accessories

First slot: Magic Mirror from Katan. Second slot: Badge of Deadeye (+10% ranged damage). Third slot: Corrupted Emblem from Sunix (+12% attack speed) — this stacks multiplicatively with his natural fire rate. Fourth slot: Laser Eye from Lazereth (+12% crit chance) — even low per-hit damage crits add up with fire rate. Fifth slot: Angel Wings from Seraphim (longer dashes) or Divine Crown (−20% cooldown).

Team comp role

Ricochet fits in the ranged column of standard 4-2-2 comps. Pair him with Cross or Lumina for varied ranged pressure. Do not replace a support (Reviva or Clockwork) with a second ranged — the lobby needs sustain more than a third DPS at 1500 Souls.

In team comps: Ricochet goes in the damage column alongside Cross and Lumina.

Unlock order

Ricochet at 1500 Souls is the third shop purchase after Reviva (250) and Sunder (1000). He is a specialization purchase — buy him after you have Reviva and Sunder, or when you want a ranged alternative to Cross in specific boss matchups.

Unlock path: unlock characters. Cost planner: unlock planner.

What Ricochet is not

Ricochet is not a burst character. His damage is sustained, not explosive. Do not expect him to close phases quickly — he wears bosses down over time. If you need spike damage, use Sunder or Lumina.

Update 1.5 changed the Last Stand mechanic specifically for Ricochet. Confirm current behavior in the client before using him in high-tick content. Cosmic Expansion.

Comparison to other ranged

• Cross (100 HP, starter) — more HP and grenade utility. Cross is the default ranged until you buy Ricochet.
• Lumina (90 HP, 2500 Souls) — similar HP with burst potential and long cooldowns. Lumina is a later, more specialized unlock.
