- Door GuardSPECIAL
Raises two shutter doors as a counter: a melee hit makes you punch through and repel the enemy, while a bullet attack only shatters the doors.
Damage5 for melee, none if bulletCooldown16sCounter window0.6sNo Evasive - Reserve BallsMove 1

Summons doors that close on the enemy's torso from up to 25 studs away, stunning them in place and setting you to your 3rd M1.
Damage8Cooldown15sBlockableInterruptibleCan't hit ragdolled targetsProjectile - Shutter DoorsMISS VARIANT
If the doors miss, they stay for 7 seconds: you can bounce off them, and a ragdolled enemy that lands on them bounces three times.
Damage6, 2 per bounceCooldown15sInterruptibleHits ragdolled targetsProjectile - Rough EnergyMove 3
Winds up a strong cursed-energy punch that sends the enemy flying; its long windup and endlag make it punishable.

A strong kick sends the enemy in front of two doors, then with bullet armor you dropkick them through the doors.

Restless Gambler combos
- BaseDamage64.5
3 M1s Uppercut + Shutter Doors + M1 Uppercut + Fever Breaker + Rough Energy (Air) + Reserve Balls + Downslam
You can uppercut into Shutter Doors without triggering its bounce variant by surfing or good timing; turning around before Fever Breaker's dropkick lets Rough Energy land and sets up a downslam with Reserve Balls.
- BaseDamage64
3 M1s Uppercut + Fever Crush + Downslam + Rough Energy + Reserve Balls
- BaseDamage68.5
3 M1s Uppercut + Fever Breaker + Reserve Balls (Variant) + 3 M1s Downslam + Rough Energy
Each bounce from Reserve Balls' variant can line up an M1 if you jump, leading to a downslam into Rough Energy.
- True AwakeningDamage192.7
3 M1s Uppercut + Lucky Volley + 3 M1s Uppercut + Energy Surge + Lucky Rushdown
Flicking the camera before Lucky Volley's last hit gives an easy M1 reset, especially after a few uses of Rhythm.
Combos as the wiki's community lists them (move names in English, as in the game). We have not tested them.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Easy-to-learn combos for beginners and casual players.
- Reserve Balls' variant is a safe and rewarding neutral poke, while Fever Crush can force out evasives fairly consistently.
- A long Awakening that can be chained several times, with fast regeneration, a strong special and fast attacks that are hard to avoid.
Cons
- The block-breakers in base are slow and punishable, with little reward.
- Sometimes lacks general use: attacks like Reserve Balls' variant mostly catch opponents by surprise.
- The Jackpot depends on RNG, so it is not guaranteed.
About Restless Gambler
Kinji Hakari's kit, Restless Gambler, launched in Early Access and is now free for everyone. It has 100 HP and sits in tier B on the site's list at 0.672 damage per second of cooldown.
Door Guard (16s) is a counter with a 0.6 second window that punches through a melee hit for 5. Reserve Balls (7.5, 12s) stuns at range, Shutter Doors (8, 15s) pins the target, Rough Energy (12.5, 14s) is the heavy punch and Fever Breaker (15, 23s) is the long-cooldown fourth move. Using one move during another's windup creates variants, such as Fever Crush, whose stomp reaches 24 on a target that was ragdolled first.
Idle Death Gamble heals 15 HP and rolls up to four scenarios for a Jackpot. Land one and you get infinite cursed energy for 100 seconds (50 if it came from the fourth-scenario pity roll), plus a Rhythm dance that speeds up your moves. The true awakening brings Lucky Volley (28.7, 10s), Overwhelming Luck (40, 20s) and Energy Surge (20, 25s); the longest listed combo, in the true awakening, reaches 192.7.
Two caveats from the wiki: the base block-breakers are slow and punishable with little reward, and the Jackpot depends on RNG, so it is never guaranteed.
