Introduction

Glacius PLACEHOLDER CHARACTER STORY

Glacius PLACEHOLDER GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Character

Strengths

Weaknesses

Cold Shoulder: Glacius bypasses his movement woes with his shoulder tackle, zipping him forward at lightning speed and staying safe with its high pushback.
Assistance: With Hail up, it's difficult to challenge Glacius in close quarters, since the projectile doesn't disappear when he's hit.
Criminal damage: Glacius is one of the hardest hitting fighters in KI. He can equalize a life deficit with a Shadow Cold Shoulder, which does a load of damage and cranks the ender level.

Low gravity jumps: Glacius' jump arc is one of the floatiest in the game. It's easy to react to and tag his lance kicks with an anti-air from long distance.

Universal Mechanics

Instinct

Crystallize:

- Glacius gains 1 hit of super armor up to 5 times. The armor replenishes after a short time if it is destroyed. The number of remaining armor charges is shown on Glacius' portrait next to the life bar.

- Glacius gains access to a homing puddle punch with two versions. A crossup and a non-crossup version. These can be told apart by the crossup version having spikes during travel.

- Liquidize has increased movement speed.

- Shadow Counter window drastically increased.
