Buffalo (Buff in short) is a Party Member found during the main story of LISA: THE PAINFUL. He is an ex-football player and enjoys living in the past. He is a Warlord of Olathe, ranked #7 on the The List.
Background[]
Name: Buffalo Van Dyke
Fighting Art: American Power Tackles
Past Occupation: Pro Football Player
Likes: The Pride of the Game
Favorite Food: Steak
Most Hated Thing: Other Countries
An American Football star, he was adored by the people, but hated by officials due to his violent tendencies. He uncovered a secret league of businessmen controlling the outcome of the games. He was soon fired from his team and had his eye ripped out. He then retreated to the mountains to perfect his tackle.
Appearance and Personality[]
Buffalo is an American Football star who seems to be attempting to find a crew worthy of his past. He dons an eye-patch for his lost eye and American Football gear. His loyalty is usually to the strongest team he can get to.
How to invite to party[]
Buffalo is impossible to miss. Once you have reached Snow and climbed up most of the mountain, you will meet Buffalo. Defeat him and his crew and he will join Brad's party.
Battle[]
As Buffalo is found later in the game, his use may be limited. His skills mainly revolve around tripping, and therefore are very effective against most non-Joy mutant enemies, as most often they are vulnerable to Fallen. He is a fast character that can take a hit, and because of such qualities, he can be used to be a character to use healing items quickly. However Buffalo lacks in diversity, as all his skills are just stronger versions of each other as well as his late entry into Brad's gang, not giving him enough time to shine.
Tips[]
- His late entry causes Buffalo to be outclassed by most other characters in most specifics, making him arguably one of the least useful party members at in the game due to his lack of support skills, utility and crowd control moves. At best, Buffalo can ideally be reserved as an emergency damage dealer should one of Brad's party members die.
- A good team for Buffalo to be most effective would be a team with others who inflict more status moves, such as Ajeet, RT, or Fly.
