Loader

Tips

 * Contrary to what the description of says, it doesn't merely double your health, but makes you completely invincible a la Shield Generator for a whopping 3 seconds, more time than any other immunity skill in the game.
 * Getting a Wicked Ring is extremely valuable on the Loader, as with very few crit items, you can maintain indefinitely in combat.
 * Indefinite use of the Debris Shield will also provide invincibility to not just yourself but also your drones making the use of large numbers of drones without the risk of having to pay to repair them extremely easy and highly recommended
 * The 's AoE is actually much larger than the visuals would imply. This is because when the conduits arc lightning between each other, the game actually draws a bounding box area, with the conduits being opposite corners of said box, and all enemies caught within the box take damage. This means that the lightning visuals actually draw the diagonal of the AoE, meaning that the s are exponentially more effective if they are placed both horizontally AND vertically far apart, as the horizontal area of the lightning gets multiplied by the vertical distance between the s.
 * A mobility trick with the Loader is if you manage to press the 'Jump' button on the same frame that you press the button for during its 1st or 2nd attack, the Loader will lunge forward a moderate distance in the direction he is facing. Having a timing window of 1 frame however, this trick is very difficult to pull off consistently.
 * You will be stopped prematurely if you hit an obstruction while using.
 * When using, you can sometimes pull yourself onto ledges, however, due to how the game's physics work, you must pull yourself to a ledge from a point below said ledge, e.g. hooking to a ledge while falling. Pulling yourself when you are level with the ledge will result in you smashing your face into the ledge and not pulling on top of it, and pulling from above can sometimes fling you down and away from the ledge.
 * will hook to the 'ghosts' which are generated by & . This can interfere with trying to hit an enemy, making these items less valuable for the Loader.
 * can pull the Loader directly over a jump pad.  This could be good or bad, but is useful in saving a few seconds and a chunk of health over being bounced if you do need to get to the other side of the pad.
 * can effectively stunlock many enemies and break their attacks, especially inside the area of a  or when stacking  .  This can make many very dangerous enemies (eg. Sand Crab, Rock Golem , and Spitter) very easy early on, making life much safer when using the Glass relic.

Trivia

 * The loader seems to have taken inspiration from the Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader from the film Aliens.
 * The loader also bears a striking resemblance to Hyperion Engineers from the game Borderlands 2 Being that they are also inspired by Aliens. The robots that serve alongside these engineers are also called Loaders.
 * (Unconfirmed) According to a reddit post, The loader originally appeared as a female character, but was changed to male in the release version of 1.2. It is unknown when or why this change was made. It is possible that the female version of the loader closely resembled the look of a League of Legends character named Vi, who also has large robotic arms.
 * The loader's abilities are almost identical to ones of Blitzcrank from the game League of Legends. His appearance also bears resemblance.
