Bastion
Play as the heavily-shielded Bastion. Now with totally redone sprites!
Special Mechanic: Blocking. when bastion is in a move that involves pushing with their shield, they have some armor against attacks coming from that direction. for certain attacks, it even parries.
Forward special is a projectile special. on the ground, it shoots a bunch of small chunks of rock. While in the air, it fires one small shield.
Neutral Special is a holding counter, it uses the aforementioned special mechanic to block attacks. if you successfully block an attack with it, you can cancel into a roll or a standard parry.
Down special places a large shield that reflects non-article projectiles. it also damages those that walk into it, but only 3 times before its destroyed and needs to be replaced.
Up special is a blast upwards, very similar to Pomme’s or Olympia’s
Known issues:
when using the blocking mechanic to parry an attack, bastion can sometimes turn mostly transparent, leaving only the black lines. I do not actually know how to fix this, if anyone does, please tell me.
Other things:
Bastion now has Abyss runes! for extra fun!
