Rock Riot fires projectiles from a fixed location on the field, independent of the player's position. The launch point remains stationary even as the player moves, creating a persistent attack zone at a fixed map coordinate. This makes it a placement-type weapon that relies on enemies moving into the firing zone rather than the player chasing enemies.

• Fires projectiles from a fixed map position — not from the player's current location
• The launch point does not move when the player moves
• Projectiles land in a set area and deal AoE damage at the impact zone
• Stone Mask (evolution material) raises Max HP, improving durability while held

Hold Stone Mask, level Rock Riot to MAX, then open a treasure chest after 10:00 (evolved form name to be confirmed).

Stone Mask grants Max HP +1 while held, so securing it as an evolution material also increases the run's durability throughout.

• Fixed-location firing allows continued damage at a specific point while the player kites elsewhere
• Exceptionally effective when enemies naturally funnel through the fixed launch location
• Stone Mask as an evolution material raises Max HP as a passive benefit while held
• Attack continues while the player moves — provides passive coverage without requiring the player to aim

• If no enemies are near the fixed launch point, damage is wasted
• Limited control over launch position — effectiveness depends on enemy movement patterns
• Fast or erratic enemies can pass through or avoid the fixed zone
• Raw damage output requires companion weapons to supplement

Characters that can direct enemy traffic toward the fixed launch location benefit most. Low-durability characters gain additional value from Stone Mask's Max HP bonus. Position-focused or trap-style builds align well with the fixed-location mechanic.

The key to Rock Riot is funneling enemies through the fixed launch location. Stay near the fixed point so enemies that chase the player naturally pass through the firing zone. Moving in tight circles around the fixed position consistently draws enemies into the impact area.

Tracking the fixed launch position visually is the primary skill. Once the location is identified in each run, position play around it — the zone is a free passive damage source when enemies enter it.

Stone Mask's Max HP bonus lets the player absorb more hits while experimenting with center-field positioning. Playing closer to the fixed zone maximizes the overlap between player position and launch point.

Q. Where does the fixed launch point appear? A. The launch point is fixed at a specific map coordinate and does not move with the player. Watch the in-game effect to identify its position, then adjust positioning to draw enemies through it.

Q. Is stacking multiple Stone Masks worth it? A. Stone Mask raises Max HP with each copy. After the evolution is complete, additional copies continue raising Max HP — worth considering for spare passive slots if durability is a priority.

Q. How do I direct enemies toward the fixed point? A. Stay near the fixed point or move in loops around it. Enemies that chase the player will naturally enter the impact zone as the player positions around it.
