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 & Strawberry 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 can be mostly more forgiving for this class, but be careful, as killing a Friendly Droid at ≤20 HP will kill you.
 * Activate your Pursuit ability often for small benefits over time, but keep in mind that you have a 12.5% chance to activate Transcendent's 1st ability Control, which not only warps your forward or backward a world but also drastically lowers your if you happen to warp backwards. Because of this, it is highly recommended to use pursuit in odd numbered rooms so you can warp forward. Since Stray gets a 1 second forcefield upon casting pursuit, you will be able to negate the damage from warping forwards.
 * 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.

Trivia

 * Stray is one of the only classes besides the Transcendent who has a Rune in the background of their class render.
 * If this class is owned, Stray alongside Transcendent will also lower the tempo of the lobby music when selected as your class.
 * Stray is, by far, the most expensive class, at a whopping.
 * Stray is the only other class that may have ties to RGD's "lore". The other being Transcendent.
 * Stray is the third class to break the rule of class avatars having their accessory textures removed.
