White Russian

'' ' Directly affects the muscles. ' ''

White Russian is a variant of Nekro that is unlocked by reaching round ten in the Underground Concert. It has two charges, heals a small amount and has a stronger berserk effect than other drugs. White Russian's finishing moves gib enemies, which causes the corresponding Severed Head of the enemy that was gibbed to spawn, and the finishing moves are significantly stronger than the finishing moves that other drugs provide. Gibbing enemies can be considered disadvantageous, as gibbed enemies never convulse. White Russian is a poor healing drug, so it should be used to complement a play-style that frequently uses berserk.

Strategy
This drug essentially makes berserk far more powerful than normal, and is especially effective at destroying large groups of enemies. However it does have a few notable downsides.

Most notably, the healing efficiency and potential of this drug is very poor. for comparison the Kremlin Colonel is 50% stronger at healing. Additionally, when berserking with this drug your finishing attacks will gib enemies which may kill them extremely quickly but also renders them unable to convulse, reducing the amount of Nekro available. This makes it an awful synergy with purple rain.

This drug can be used solo effectively so long as the player is skilled at the game. This is due to the limited healing, it relies on the player being able to avoid more damage to compensate. Additionally, in order to maximize the effect of its berserk the player should be efficient with as well as knowing good opportunities to do so. In theory, you can reduce the need of healing by quickly killing enemies while berserked before they can deal damage to you, although due to its gibbing effect, you may find yourself low on Nekro if done excessively.

This drug is more effective with other players providing they take a drug that can cover one of its downsides. Blue Lagoon is the obvious choice since not only does it make up for its lack of healing, but it also requires less Nekro to heal for a specific amount which also synergises with White Russian's effective reduction of available Nekro. Kremlin Colonel is also a good option however.
