Introducing SCHIAVONA. She enjoys opening sparkling wine in a fancy manner, eating olives and skewering anything that moves with the overly large sword that she is named after.
SCHIAVONA is the fourthand final unlockable player character, and can be unlocked by gaining the achievement PHEIDIPPIDES, when the player has travelled more than a total of 225km / 139miles and 1423 yards in old money.
SCHIAVONA is a close range, melee based character with the highest damage rating of all playable characters. She has allround good statistics for speed, health, energy and strength, but nothing super special.
Her Standard Attack is SABRAGE, a neat way of taking the head off a bottle of fizz, and equally effective against monsters. With an excellent range for melee combat of 5 metres, it does have a slight pause whilst she poses to show off before delivering the coup de grace.
Her Special Attack is the SHISH KEBAB, were she dashes forwards to skewer all enemies to her front. Again there is a pause whilst she flamboyantly strikes a pose before dealing the highest damage of all cosplaying characters to all who stand in her way. She is invulnerable to taking damage during this attack, which makes the delay all about timing to land the best blow. See the gif below.
Her Special Evade is BACK DRAFT, were she stuns all nearby enemies and forcefully pushes them away before quickly retreating backwards, and hopefully out of harm's way. As with her Special Attack, she is again invulnerable to damage for the short duration of her Special Evade.
