==Tactics==
[[File:2013-11-22 12 23 05-.jpg|thumb|Acrid's crate.]]
*The poison applied in {{Ability|Acrid|Festering Wounds}} is stackable.
*{{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}} has a 17 second Cooldown, but the trail itself will last for nearly 15 seconds, meaning that by the time it dissipates, '''Acrid''' will be ready to spread another trail shortly. Spam it as often as possible, as it slows enemies down and speeds allies up, making it great not only for combat but for escaping as well.
*Try to spread {{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}} in as wide an area as possible, avoiding bumpy, uneven terrain as much as possible.
*Hanging on a rope after spreading {{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}} is a safe way to kill a big group of enemies, as this will keep them grouped and most of them can not reach the character.
* The {{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}} can easily take out a group of imps holding a reward, as '''Acrid''' can spray the ground directly next to the statue, summon them, and they'll die easily and quickly, granting an easy and painless reward.
*{{Ability|Acrid|Epidemic}} will spread on contact with other mobs, as well as attempt to jump to others close enough on the screen. It can multiply itself and do devastating damage to groups and can go through walls. Note that it won't return to a previously infected enemy.
*As with any melee user, '''Acrid''' is a little flimsy and should make use of items such as the {{Item|Rarity=Common|Hermit's Scarf}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Tough Times}}, {{Item|Rarity=Boss|Colossal Knurl}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Mysterious Vial}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Bitter Root}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Infusion}}, and {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Guardian's Heart}} for the sake of survivability.
*Also, as with any melee user, '''Acrid''' is always in the thick of the fight whenever it wishes to do damage. Thus, it benefits from passive damage items like {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Frost Relic}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Barbed Wire}}, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Tesla Coil}}, {{Item|Rarity=Boss|Burning Witness}}, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Fireman's Boots}}, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Plasma Chain}} and {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Chargefield Generator}}. With all of these together, the bulk of his damage will come simply from proximity.
*Items that add status effects or damage over time stack well with '''Acrid''''s inherent abilities in this regard, such as {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Thallium}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Rusty Knife}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Toxic Worm}}, and {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Shattering Justice}}.
*Due to the stacking nature of {{Ability|Acrid|Festering Wounds}}, it's a good idea to get {{Item|Rarity=Common|Soldier's Syringe}}s and {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Energy Cell}}s whenever possible. To synergize with this, melee users like '''Acrid''' may find the {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Hyper-Threader}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Leeching Seed}}, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Laser Turbine}} and {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Heaven Cracker}} to all be of use with his high attack speed, and any on-hit effects for that matter can only help.
*Stun items help '''Acrid''' maintain momentum, avoid damage and keep enemies in his {{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}}. To bolster this, gather {{Item|Rarity=Common|Tazer}}s, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Concussion Grenade}}s, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Prison Shackles}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Spikestrip}}, and {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Permafrost}}.
*As a class that must move around in the fray, and works well with hit-and-run strategies, items such as the {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Red Whip}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Paul's Goat Hoof}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Hopoo Feather}}, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Photon Jetpack}}, and {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Rusty Jetpack}} can help him quite a lot. Items that increase movement speed can help him spread {{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}} much further, and jetpacks and hopoo feathers can allow the player to repeatedly hop above a placed area of sludge to lure enemies into it without putting themself in harm's way.
*'''Acrid''' benefits from on-death effects like {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Will-o'-the-wisp}}, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Happiest Mask}}, {{Item|Rarity=Common|Gasoline}} and {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Ceremonial Dagger}} as, within an area of sludge, they can help him gain very fast momentum and eliminate a large group quickly, bolstering his {{Item|Rarity=Boss|Burning Witness}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Chargefield Generator}} and {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Frost Relic}} in turn.
*{{Item|Rarity=Common|Mear Nugget}}, {{Item|Rarity=Uncommon|Filial Imprinting}}, and {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Interstellar Desk Plant}} can be helpful as they drop buffs or heals in the sludge while the player is fighting large groups, allowing them to stay in their sludged area longer.
* The {{Item|Rarity=Use|Unstable Watch}} is very good for doing large amounts of damage to bosses.
* At low health, it is a smart strategy to try to get {{Ability|Acrid|Epidemic}} on one enemy and flee.
* {{Ability|Acrid|Epidemic}} can pass through the terrain, both on its initial attack and as it spreads. The initial attack also has an unlimited range.
* {{Ability|Acrid|Epidemic}}'s first hit on mobs (as well when it passes to another enemies) is treated as a hit, allowing on hit items a chance to proc.
* As with other melee characters, {{Item|Rarity=Rare|Heaven Cracker}} gives unlimited range to '''Acrid''''s basic attack when it procs. However, {{Ability|Acrid|Festering Wounds}} is not applied to enemies hit by it.
*The poison damage from {{Ability|Acrid|Festering Wounds}} is based on the damage of the initial hit, while the poison damage from {{Ability|Acrid|Epidemic}} does not, this means that {{Item|Rarity=Common|Crowbar}} and critical hit items will increase the poison damage on Festering Wounds, but not Epidemic.
*{{Ability|Acrid|Festering Wounds}} deals a total of 7 hits, the initial damage, a tick of poison damage at the same time as the hit, and then 5 more over ~2.5 seconds, for a total of 464% damage.
*{{Ability|Acrid|Epidemic}} deals a total of 6 hits, the initial damage, and 5 ticks of poison damage over ~2.5 seconds, for a total of 600% damage.
*The damage from {{Ability|Acrid|Caustic Sludge}} does not apply on-hit effects, but oddly does seem to benefit from critical hit chance, dealing double the damage but notapplying on-crit effects.

==Trivia==
* '''Acrid''' is still the only playable class that can be fought in-game by the player.
*'''Acrid'''’s name is synonymous with acid, harshness, and sharpness, linking in with his nature and acidic abilities.
