Stick It to the Stickman characters include your customizable fighter, hostile coworkers, armored elites, ranged attackers, halo enemies, bosses, trainers, and unlockable roles. Your moves, weapons, promotions, mastery bonuses, and temporary allies determine how each character affects a run.
Character Types
- Basic coworkers: Attack in groups with simple strikes and make crowd control valuable.
- Armored elites: Have stronger defenses and higher durability, so use focused damage or launches.
- Ranged fighters: Use bows, slingshots, or other projectiles from outside melee range.
- Halo enemies: Can leave ghosts after defeat.
- Bosses: Have large health pools and distinct attack patterns.
Build Your Fighter
Your fighter can begin with unarmed attacks, kicks, or a baseball bat, then specialize through move upgrades and promotions.
| Build focus | Useful equipment | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Unarmed | Kicks and launch kicks | Close-range control |
| Blunt | Baseball bat, mace, kanabo | Heavy hits and launches |
| Piercing | Javelin, spear, hunting knife | Damage at reach or range |
| Ranged | Bow, slingshot, shuriken | Safer distant pressure |
| Mixed mastery | Several weapon categories | Promotion flexibility |
Choose promotions that support attacks you already use. Add health or recovery when a run becomes unstable, and keep a ranged option when crowds or distant enemies make melee dangerous.
Cultist, Ghosts, and Followers
The Cultist is an unlockable role that uses social and supernatural abilities instead of relying only on punches and weapons. Collect ghosts from defeated halo enemies to unlock it.
- Preach can develop into follower-gaining and conversion abilities.
- Twin Flame can develop into Love Bomb, creating explosive follower actions.
- Improv can escalate through Overreact and Tantrum.
- Tentacle abilities can briefly hold or convert targets.
Converted followers can fight for you, draw attacks, and create openings. Skeletons do not respond to conversion like ordinary coworkers, so retain conventional attacks during a Cultist run.
Areas and Preparation
The training area includes the Sensei, training dummies, spirit-like opponents, martial arts rewards, and the White Belt. Foreign Manufacturing features bamboo scenery plus archers, sword users, and armored enemies.
- Bring range, mobility, or dependable melee damage into weapon-heavy areas.
- Target halo enemies when you need ghosts for unlocks.
- Save strong abilities for boss floors.
- Use armor for the arms, torso, or head before starting a floor.
- Prioritize survival over every reward when health is low.
Cash and materials can support food, coffee, training, education, or sports-related expansions, opening new content, character themes, and technologies.
Is It Worth It?
Yes, if you build around the enemies in front of you. Blunt and mixed builds are approachable because they offer impact and crowd control, while the Cultist provides a tactical alternative through followers and conversion. Boss manipulation can sometimes create an exit opportunity, but it is not officially confirmed as a guaranteed substitute for defeating a boss.
