Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder/Characters
From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
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).
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 in-game or in any documentation so are just made up.

[edit] Sternblade
- Weapon: Broadsword
- Special: Spinning Slash
- Initial magic pots: 9/9
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!
[edit] Goah
- Weapon: Really Big Axe
- Special: Cannonball
- Initial magic pots: 13/13
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.
[edit] Dora
- Weapon: (? sort of a padded club thing)
- Special: (Hind Kick)
- Initial magic pots: 12/4
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.
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.
[edit] Trix
- Weapon: Pitchfork
- Special: "Ninja" Kick
- Initial magic pots: 6/6
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.
Trix's Apple Tree spell grows one tree per player (max. 4). Each disappears leaving a pile of apples. Each pile restores 100% HP regardless of the difficulty setting.
