Nobody Saves the World Mechanic guide

by Chris Hyde on September 14, 2022

The Mechanic is the first of two forms you will unlock in the Frozen Hearth DLC of Nobody Saves the World. It’s a decent melee fighter with a strong starting combo. The Mechanic is geared around using Familiars to support him, and attacking to keep the Familiars alive longer. It’s an interesting new spin on familiar, well, Familiars.

Tips

The Mechanic is a form that is a melee user with a difference. His trusty wrench can deal significant damage, especially on its final 4th hit of his combo. The Rattler Turret though gives the Mechanic some offensive options to consider, and using his wrench, will heal on that infamous 4th hit too to keep Familiars alive for longer. Barrier Coil is good in a pinch to avoid incoming ranged attacks. It is also very effective at crowd control in a pinch too, giving you versatility.
