Stray

"A messenger from The Void. The Stray conjures alternate forms to fulfill demands. Gaining additional HP is difficult with this class, but you'll gain more over time..."

- Class Description

The is an event class from the Alpha Anniversary Event. It can gain a random boon with its first ability and can kill troublesome droids with its second. Its most important quality is its passive, which greatly restricts this class' healing capability. As such, the Stray is considered an advanced class that should only be used by those that can keep taking damage at a minimum.

Strategies

 * Your passive sets your to your current  value, which will make healing very difficult. In order to heal outside of using Heart Containers, you need to use items that both increase your  and  in the same room (i.e. Chocolate Donut & Pink Donut, Potion of Protection & Healing).
 * This class is extremely difficult in Ascension as the modifiers will decrease the Stray's initial even further than most other classes due to its passive.
 * At Ascension 9, 10, and 13, your starting is effectively set to 25, 19, and 13, respectively, down from 100.
 * At Ascension 15, all forms of healing are halved, which may force you to use multiple healing items after increasing your.
 * The cost of killing Friendly Droids is negated completely with this class, so you can get free from killing shopkeepers or naturally spawned ones.
 * You can kill a specific troublesome droid with Forget if no other hostile droids are alive in the room. If there are multiple droids tied for the lowest HP, Forget will randomly kill one of them.
 * If there are no Weak Droids, Hunter Droids have the highest targeting priority for Forget as they have the second lowest base HP of any droid.
 * It's not really recommended to use the Rainbow Candy, as even though some of your stats will be boosted, your won't upgrade in the next room due to taking damage.
