The Chef finally makes a return to the series in the Seekers of the Storm expansion for Risk of Rain 2. This culinary-based character is a treat and has some of the most unique skills in the entire roster. He’s easy to use and has tons of interesting skills for the perfect dish. Here are the complete skills for Chef in Risk of Rain 2 and their general abilities.
Risk of Rain 2 Chef Complete Skills
The Chef has the following skills available from the start:
| Skill | Skill Type | Skill Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dice | Primary | Throw a cleaver through enemies for 250% damage. Use again to recall the cleaver, dealing 375% damage on the return trip. |
| Sear | Secondary | Scorch nearby enemies for 600% damage. Inflicts Burn on targets. Glazed enemies take 75% extra damage. |
| Roll | Utility | Charge the rolling pin to speed forward, dealing 500%-800% damage and stunning any enemy hit. |

| Chef’s Kiss | Misc | Killing enemies with 2 or more skills cooks them up and drops a healing food item. |
Chef Overview and Tips
Apart from the abilities, here are a few things to know about Chef that aren’t explained above:
- Dice doubles the chance of triggering on-hit items because you can recall the cleaver after throwing it.
- Glazed enemies can be seared for a lot more additional damage.
- Searing is the perfect skill to deal with a group of enemies as it has a large impact area.
- Combining any three skills or more on an enemy will force enemies to drop food, which you can pick to heal. So, ideally, you want to glaze enemies first, sear them for additional damage, and then dice them for the finisher.
- The food dropped by these enemies can also be consumed by teammates.
- Roll lets you stun enemies in a row while dealing a ridiculous amount of damage, too, and it’s a great skill that can be used to get out of tricky situations.
The Chef is a tremendous addition to the Risk of Rain 2 roster, but it requires finding a few ingredients to unlock. Apart from Chef, the Seeker is a great healer and mid-range brawler, while the False Son is a heavy-hitting melee character that’s fairly hard to unlock.
