NEW CHARACTERS
Eleanora
The Gun-Toting Mob Boss Dressed to Kill
CHARACTER ARCHETYPE - Heavy Zoning / Lane Control / Henchmen
QUICK BIO - Always with style, she’s gonna be the biggest and baddest “wiseguy” this town’s ever seen, but she and the boys prefer to fight dirty.
Nyra
Her Inner Peace Belies Outer Ferocity
CHARACTER ARCHETYPE - Hybrid Chain Grappler / Long Reach
QUICK BIO - A skillful and agile practitioner of an ancient grappling art, Nyra is also the wielder of a peculiar set of extra limbs that bonded to her from her home village’s shrine.
A quick breakdown of both of these characters will be released over the next coming weeks. Keep your eyes peeled!
NEW CO-OP MECHANICS
- Jive Bomber - C+D (while teammate is not jumping or being hit, 25% meter): Teleport to your teammate and perform an invincible attack!
- Switcheroo - C+D (while teammate is being hit or grabbed, 25% meter): Instantly take your teammate’s place to allow them to escape!
- Ghost Meter - Upon K.O. in Teams, you’re given a full ghost meter! 1) Performing Ghost Assist/Jive Bomber/Shock will cost meter, while successful Ghost Parries will add meter. 2) Your ghost meter will automatically replenish. 3) Losing all your ghost meter will take you out of the rest of the round, so use your resources carefully!
