Introduction

General Shao’s Loyal Lieutenant

"Reiko was a boy when he and his family were captured during the Kafallah War. Though his family died, Reiko fought and survived. After spending months as a prisoner, Reiko was freed during a raid by General Shao. Despite his youth and small size, Reiko attacked his former captors and exacted bloody revenge. Impressed by the boy’s spirit, General Shao made Reiko his squire. Under his tutelage, Reiko learned the ways of war. He became an exceptional soldier and is now the General’s second-in-command. Reiko’s loyalty to General Shao is absolute. He will live and die by his orders."

Reiko is a Grappler who can leverage his command grab into high damage combos when used in tandem with a Kameo like Tremor or Darrius. This is complemented by an arsenal of long-ranged strikes, a high damage Overhead, and a projectile. After the Conan patch, Assassin Throwing Stars are now destroyed by almost every other projectile in the game even if Reiko enhances it so in most match-ups he is no longer the Zoner/Grappler hybrid he began the game as.
