Of all the characters, probably the best for learning players would be Dora the Centauress or Trix the peasant. Dora has cheap magic (6 pots/shot) and starts with enough magic pots for 3 doses worth of blasting, while Trix has even cheaper magic (4 pots/shot) and the power to spawn a pile of apples for each player—a very useful non-offensive power that makes him an instant favourite for teamplay. Drop him before you get to Death Adder, however (see Strategies).


The characters in Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (RODA) vary in what attacks they can do, what targets those attacks can hit, how much damage an attack does, and their appearance (all characters have the same amount of health and take the same amount of damage). Their attacks deal damage differently, but magic attacks all do the same amount of damage (except for Trix's, which deals no damage). Keep in mind that spell and attack names are not mentioned in-game or in any documentation so they are all conjectural.
Best character overall: for your money's worth, start with Goah no matter what. He gives you 13 initial magic pots. Then when you die you can change to a cheaper character and keep your bonus bottles! Note that magic is the same strength (as such) for each character it's just more bottles equal more damage. So Goah is the most powerful and Dora the weakest, but compared pot-for-pot they are all even. Also keep in mind that spell and attack names are not mentioned ingame or in any documentation so are just made up.


==Character comparisons==
===Sternblade===
Of all the characters, the best for beginners is Dora the Centauress and Trix the farmer. Dora has the cheapest magic (4 potions per use) and starts with enough magic potions (12 potions) to cast her magic 3 times. On the other hand, Trix has slightly more expensive magic (6 potions per use) that has the power to spawn a pile of apples for each player (a very useful non-offensive power that makes him an instant favourite for teamplay).
 
Goah is a more difficult character to use due to his slow speed, which makes him more vulnerable than the other playable characters when facing multiple enemies. Goah begins the game with 13 magic potions, but is only able to cast his magic once. Therefore, Dora is a better recommended character for beginners as she is a better balanced and more efficient character to use, and starts with only 1 less magic potion.
 
Trix and Dora are the two easiest characters to beat the game without using a continue.

Sternblade has a similar appearance as Ax Battler from past games, but Sternblade plays differently. Sternblade has the best dashing attack in the game, compared with Ax Battler who had one of the worst dashing attacks in the series, which allows Stern to be a much more technical character. Stern can use his excellent dashing attack (which happens to do the most damage among all dashing attacks) to easily knock back enemies and to corner (infinite combo) certain bosses and defeat them without taking any damage. Stern is the only character that is unable to hit downed enemies with his diving attack; however, his running-jumping-downward-attack (which hits both standing and downed enemies) deals the most damage in the game (tied with Goah). Overall, Stern is a balanced character who can rely on his superior dashing attack to deal with most situations.
Sternblade plays very much the same as Ax Battler from past games. His magic attack is Firestorm, which uses 9 pots. All enemies are burned up, bodies and all. If one of its victims is a soldier there is a closeup of his face as he burns!

Sternblade's magic attack is Firestorm, which uses 9 pots (4.33 damage per potion). All enemies are burned up, bodies and all. If one of its victims is a soldier there is a closeup of his face as he burns!

Gilius rides on his back in a sack and can be somewhat controlled at a certain point. Goah is the slowest-moving character, but deals the most damage with his combos. He is arguably the most difficult character to beat the game without a continue due to his inability to efficiently take on multiple enemies.
Gilius rides on his back in a sack and can be somewhat controlled at a certain point. He also casts the "cloud-fog being" spell, which is the most powerful of all ''RODA'' spells. It costs 13 pots. A giant hairy skull appears and breathes a cloud of deadly smoke; human foes turn to stone before smashing to pieces.

===Dora===
Goah casts the "cloud-fog being" spell, which is the most powerful of all ''RODA'' spells. It costs 13 pots (4.92 damage per potion). A giant hairy skull appears and breathes a cloud of deadly smoke; human foes turn to stone before smashing to pieces.

Dora is a Centaur, but her legs shapeshift into a normal human to ride Bizaarians. She has the second fastest walking speed (after Trix), but has the fastest running speed. Her biggest advantage are her very damaging and useful jumping attacks (although she has a weak running-jumping-downward-attack). Her diving attack, in particular, is very useful against normal enemies and bosses alike. If Stern's distinguishing feature is his dashing attack, then Dora's is her diving attack (performed by jumping, holding left/right, and pressing attack ''after'' the peak of the jump); the advantage of the diving attack is that it can hit multiple enemies (including downed enemies), while the advantage of the dashing attack is that it is faster and safer. Unfortunately, Dora possesses the absolute worst dashing attack in the game (lowest damage, pitiful reach, and the sole inability to double-hit cornered bosses), and also has a tall hitbox, making her a big target for enemies' jumping attacks. Overall, Dora is an excellent character when her high mobility and powerful crowd-clearing diving kick are utilized well to dispatch enemies.
Dora is a Centaur, but her legs shapeshift into a normal human to ride Bizaarians. She is very fast (of course). Note that when using her special she turns to face the other direction, so you want to keep holding the direction you are facing, using the classic Chicken Leg Strategy.


;Magic
Note that Dora will be facing the opposite direction after executing this move exactly like the Chicken Leg on the original game, so just hold the direction you want to go while doing this attack, in similar style to the Chicken Leg Strategy of previous games.
Her magic is Earth's Fury: chunks of earth fly up, interspersed with lightning. She has the most useful offensive magic in the game due to her ability to cast it the most (4.75 damage per potion). Don't expect to kill many enemies with her magic (i.e. do not use it as a "finishing attack"); instead, use it to get out of sticky situations (i.e. when cornered by enemies) in order to gain a more advantageous position on the screen (to perform diving attacks, her main source of damage). Note that when using her special, Hind Kick, she turns to face the other direction, so you want to keep holding the direction you are facing, using the classic Chicken Leg Strategy. Just hold the direction you want to go while doing this attack, in similar style to the Chicken Leg Strategy of previous games.


==Trix==
Her magic is Earth's Fury: chunks of earth fly up, interspersed with lightning.

The most unique of all characters, Trix has the fastest walking speed and the fastest attack. Despite appearing frail, Trix actually has the best ability to survive thanks to his very small hitbox and fast movement. His combination of fast movement and extremely quick attacks (fastest in both attack and recovery) is highly efficient, and his dashing attack (while not as damaging as Sternblade's) is safer and just as useful to take out dangerous enemies from a distance. Trix is the only character able to push back and corner every single boss in the game (including Death Adder) with repeated dashing attacks (compared to Stern who is unable to corner the deadly scythe-wielding bosses and Death Adder himself; or Dora who is unable to corner any boss at all with her dashing attack). Despite being the least damaging character, Trix's quickness, versatility, and healing magic make him the best character in the game.
The most unique of all characters. Fastest attack but very easily knocked down. His restoring magic make him a popular choice for both group and single play. ''RODA'' is unfortunately his only appearance in the saga.
 
One hidden advantage is that Trix picks up items (potions and food) twice as fast as the other characters.

Trix's Apple Tree spell grows one tree per player (max. 4). Each tree disappears leaving a pile of apples. Each pile restores 50% HP regardless of the difficulty setting.
