Introduction

Gargos PLACEHOLDER CHARACTER STORY

Gargos PLACEHOLDER GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Character
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Master of the Skies: Great aerial mobility, with 3 midair jumps and Reckoning to change his trajectory on a dime.
  • Despicable Me: For a bar of shadow, Gargos can summon a minion to lock down his opponent on defense and interrupt their offense.
  • Excellent Zoning: Portal Punches are great at keeping most characters from walking forward, build a lot of meter and allow him to combo at range.
  • Snowball Factor: When Gargos gets the minions out and has instinct up he is almost impossible to stop.
  • Bad defense: Without his buddies, Gargos has no easy way to take his turn back when pressured.
  • Poor Grounded Mobility: Gargos has a sluggish forward dash and one of the lowest walk speeds in the game.
  • Low-Mid Damage: Gargos's damage is below average, particularly during portal punch combos.
  • Weak Comeback Factor: Gargos's instinct is not particularly good at helping you recover from a deficit, and it has major drawbacks.

Forward Walk Speed 124f to cross two large training mode squares
  • Instinct Forward Walk Speed= 179f

Instinct

Stoneskin: Gargos sacrifices movement speed, dashes, extra jumps, and the ability to block for infinite armor. At any time, he can perform Eruption to remove the armor and keep half of his remaining Instinct meter.

Combat Traits

Ranged Autos & Linkers: Gargos can start a combo from any distance after a long-range L Oblivion opener.

L-R: Izzik, Dretch
Izzik and Dretch, skinny and fatty, stabby and jumpy, Larry and Jerry. Y'know, those two guys.

Izzik (skinny stabby blue one) is slow and frail, but aggressive on offense. His Kill move is a 9x-hitting spin attack that locks opponents in place.
Dretch (jumpy flabby red one) by contrast is a tanky mover, but attacks infrequently. His Kill move is a delayed singe-hit overhead.
