Abrams
Abrams is a Brawler - an easy-to-learn tank with incredible innate survivability through his passive regeneration. He excels at closing distance quickly, stunning enemies against walls, and dealing devastating damage up close with his shotgun. Perfect for leading team engagements and absorbing focus fire while teammates deal damage.
Apollo
Apollo is a Bruiser/Assassin who specializes in high mobility, precision timing, and devastating spirit burst damage. He is best compared to Yamato—both are spirit-scaling bruisers who dash in, deal burst damage, and sustain through fights. His spirit scalings are among the highest in the game (Flawless Advance reaches 2.55x spirit per perfect hit with T1 healing before T3's improved damage scaling, and Itani Lo Sahn delayed damage scales at 2.6x spirit, up to 5.2x against low-health targets with T3), his vitality stats are competitive with conventional bruisers, and he has the second-highest move speed in the game (7.2 m/s). His sword fires red air-slash projectiles that work with weapon/bullet items, but spirit investment provides dramatically more damage per soul.
Bebop
Bebop is a tanky initiator who excels at setting up kills for allies through powerful crowd control and disruption abilities. His hook and bomb combo potential allows him to control team fights and isolate key targets while providing significant team utility.
Billy
Billy is a Brawler who thrives in the thick of combat, using his bat and head-first charges to disrupt enemies. He excels at close-quarters combat, where his melee-focused kit allows him to sustain himself and amplify his weapon damage. Perfect for players who enjoy aggressive, high-impact playstyles that reward mechanical skill and positioning.
Celeste
Celeste is a Marksman who specializes in sustained spirit damage and debuff stacking. She excels at kiting enemies with her floaty aerial movement while applying Light Eater debuffs that amplify her damage output. Her playstyle revolves around maintaining distance, stacking Radiant Daggers buffs for spirit amplification, and using Shining Wonder to devastate grouped enemies in team fights.
Drifter
Drifter is an Assassin who excels at hunting and eliminating isolated targets. He utilizes a hit-and-run playstyle with high mobility, teleportation, and bonus damage against lone enemies. His kit focuses on tracking prey, ambushing from stealth, and snowballing through permanent weapon damage gains from kills. Perfect for roaming the map to pick off vulnerable farmers and creating chaos in team fights through vision reduction.
