Introduction

Kim Wu PLACEHOLDER CHARACTER STORY

Kim Wu PLACEHOLDER GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Character

Strengths	Weaknesses
Explosive Damage: Kim's damage enders are the most powerful in KI in terms of numbers.	Cloud Jump: Without dragons, Kim's jump arc is one of the floatiest and most committal in KI. Stubby Shadow Counter: Kim is cursed with a SC that doesn't move her forward, meaning she has to hold well-spaced offense.

Universal Mechanics

Instinct

Dragon Spirit: Kim automatically gets dragons every few seconds. She can additionally fire a Dragon Cannon via HP+HK.

Combat Traits

Dragon Grasp: Kim can use her command grab as an opener and linker, similar to Thunder.

Dragons: Kim earns her unique resource from Firecracker enders and successful Dragon Parries. She can spend these Dragons to perform a Dragon Cancel.
