Stabbing things to death as Survivor was satisfying as hell and now I'm playing Artificer! Her bomb jump is non-precise enough to be fun and gives just enough height to be effective, I had found a lot of shortcuts in rooms of Garbage Wastes
It's also really convenient in terms of repositioning, I was always very cautious around lizards (that are not green or purple) as Survivor but now I can actually put up a fight with the stun, bomb spear crafting and bomb jump. I still die a lot though
Mauling for me is for now only effective to eat the Squidcadas who give 3 food pips, although I'll try to use it in combo with stun against the Scavengers too (as I somehow always miss spears when close to the enemy I'm fighting)
