The Seeker is a unique survivor even amongRisk of Rain 2’salready-diverse cast. She has a stronger focus on crowd control and healing, and she is the only character so far who can revive dead teammates.

Given the game’s randomized nature, item builds inRisk of Rain 2are not absolute without the right artifacts. This guide is designed to give players an idea of what items they should look for when playing as the Seeker.
Updated June 13, 2025 by Marc Santos:The Seekers of the Storm survivors all received new unlockable abilities for the expansion’s final major update. For Seeker, this includes Palm Blast, an alternate Special skill that shoots a piercing spirit palm that damages enemies and heals allies. It’s a fun skill to use that makes Seeker much more aggressive, so we’ve updated this guide to include a section dedicated to making a Palm Blast Seeker build work.
Best Items For Seeker In Risk Of Rain 2
The Seeker is a slow-paced character much likethe Artificer inROR 2. Instead of relying on large volumes of attacks,Seeker deals her damage in bursts by default. As such, players should take advantage of her high base damage values by picking items that can take advantage of them.
Orange (Equipment)
Every item in the game is useful in one way or another. These are not the only items you should get for Seeker, though they should take priority whenever an option presents itself.

Use to clear large groups and deal more damage to bigger targets.

This item combined with the healing items above will let you use Sojourn indefinitely.
Seeker’s damage output is fairly lowcompared to other survivors likethe Railgunner inROR 2. However, since her attacks have high multipliers, she can trigger Band items fairly frequently.Voidsent FlameandCrowbarwill let you get rid of smaller targets quickly, while the combined damage effects from Gasoline, Voidsent Flame, and both Band items will let you deal with bosses effectively.
Soul Spiral Seeker Build in ROR2
Soul Spiral, Seeker’s alternate secondary skill, is much better at dealing damage. It creates orbs that revolve around Seeker, damaging anything they touch. The following are the best items players can use for a Soul Spiral Seeker build that also aims to turn Sojourn into a hard-hitting nuke.
Palm Blast Seeker Build in ROR2
Palm Blast is an unlockable skill for Seeker that replaces Meditate. This skill is meant for players who are willing to sacrifice Meditate’s healing for a damaging ability that can pierce enemies and generate barrier as well as stacks of Tranquility. Palm Blasts offers a playstyle that, when built properly into, results in a fun and satisfying experience.
Before getting into the items, we strongly recommend using Soul Spiral together withPalm Blast. This gives you a constant source of damage and barrier that you can easily rely on for when Palm Blast is on cooldown.Reprieveis also a decent alternative forSojournfor this setup since you’ll be missing out on Meditate’s healing.
Now, for the items:
All items in the Soul Spiral build section will also work great here. Keep in mind that Palm Blast’s size and damage increases as you gain Transcendence stacks, so line those enemies up and Palm Blast them whenever the skill is off cooldown.
