Introduction

Aganos PLACEHOLDER CHARACTER STORY

Aganos PLACEHOLDER GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Character

Strengths	Weaknesses
Big Fat Normals: Aganos' MP and heavy buttons have spectacular range with pushback to keep opponents out. Power Armor: With chunks, Aganos can bully his way through jump-ins and other offense. Unbreakable Combos: With walls up, Aganos can convert a stray hit or anti-air into Ruin for huge, inescapable damage.	Tall Tall Mountain: With a hurtbox that's both high and wide, there is very little that will whiff against Aganos. Not so rock-solid defense: With no fully invulnerable move, Aganos has to take a 50/50 risk to escape oki when chunk-less.

Universal Mechanics

Instinct

Peacetime: Peacemaker clubs start spawning in Aganos' hand every few seconds.

Combat Traits

Payload Chunks:Aganos' armor is powered by his chunks, with each chunk taking one hit before being removed. Aganos can rebuild his chunks through Fortify Chunk (←HP) or his Payload Assault ender. Chunks make Aganos slower in movement and frame data.

Cyclopean Walls: Aganos can spend a chunk to set up a wall behind him or his opponent. Walls cannot be passed through, but can be destroyed by wall splats, knocking Aganos down, or suffering a wall crash.

Peacemakers: By pressing ←LMHP near a wall, Aganos will turn it into a club. Aganos can hit the opponent 3 times with a Peacemaker club before it crumbles. Before that happens, he can convert it into a chunk with ←HP, or convert it back into a wall with LMHP.

Aganos drops his fist on top of your puny head. A horrifyingly fast overhead, but he can't special cancel on block and he's lethally negative.

Largest range of all normal throws. Aganos' throws are unaffected by chunks, so he'll always have this to rely on as a 5-framer. Aganos has a lot of time on hit to scoop up a chunk, place a wall, or set up a meaty projectile.

A fast, untechable throw that launches the opponent through walls. This is also unaffected by chunks. Doing a back throw will get you Aganos' standard back throw and also destroy the Peacemaker on attempt.

Aganos does an outward swing with his club. Can be chained out of Dislocate. This move also does not have a crouching version.
