Player Select- Dirge

“That’s cute, you think you’re a threat.”

History

As much as the Guardian Corps prides itself on accepting members from a number of species, their attempts at robotics have been far less than successful. Unit-164 codenamed: Dirge, is the first successful Android. Fully autonomous, he is indistinguishable from a Human…so long as he isn’t using his built-in Arm Blades. At first, his programming had him serving as a loyal soldier but over time he became overtly more hostile and sadistic. Taking sick pleasure in combat. He didn’t care about the Militia or the Guardian Corps, all he wanted was an excuse to takedown Char…and the man responsible for creating him…

Skills

  • Primary- Twin Arm Blades
    • With his built-in Arm Blades, Dirge makes short work of enemies. Each swing dealing Slashing Damage
  • Secondary- Block
    • As much as Dirge loves attacking, sometimes you have to slow down. Using Block will reduce all incoming damage by 25% while active.
  • Special- Diving Whirlwind
    • There’s no escaping Dirge’s wrath. Dive towards enemies or out of harm’s way, dealing Slashing damage to anyone in his way. If he lands on an enemy Hero before reaching his maximum distance, he’ll perform a follow-up attack.
  • Ultimate- Execution
    • Pity is for the weak. Dirge sharpens his Arm Blades and for the next 6 seconds, if he retriggers Execution he’ll dash forward. If he makes contact with an enemy Hero, he’ll instantly defeat them in one move.

Pros

  • Stun immunity lets him stay within range
  • Only Machine immune to Hacking
  • Ideal for taking down enemy Supports and enemy Heroes
  • Diving Whirlwind gets Dirge into the fray and out of danger

Cons

  • No special effects
  • No ranged weapons
  • Vulnerable during Diving Whirlwinds follow-up attack
  • Diving Whirlwind does not add any extra distance if used while airborne
  • Execution can’t change direction

Playstyle

Dirge is a melee-focused Damage who gets in close and devastates enemies with unrelenting attacks. Never let up on the pressure and overwhelm your targets.
