Risk of Rain 2 – How Do Different Items Stack?

Different Items Stack

Unmarked spoilers for several items. Viewer beware.

Risk of Rain 2 has several items which introduce different numerical modifiers to the same character values. This is a guide about how different items interact with the same stat.
If a piece of text says “any number”, assume that means the bonus/penalty does not increase with extra stacks.

All calculations should be done in the same order that each operation is listed here.

All info was gathered by decompiling the game.
Naturally, as this is an Early Access title, everything is subject to change.
