Zil

The legends say that whenever the power of all elements in Aether become imbalanced… A mysterious figure shows up to put things in place again…

That figure being… Zil!

Zil was sealed deep below under the Sheol Prison ages ago. There were plans to execute her, however, Zil wakes up and instantly takes down everyone inside the prison, managing to escape in the process- After escaping, Zil quickly realizes the fire deep within her has been greatly weakened, something isn’t right in the lands of Aether, fearing that the flame could vanish completely, Zil gets to work immediately, arriving to the city of Neo Fire Capital after her escape.

Zil is a stance switch character, meaning she doesn’t have one element, but two! Fire + Ice (water.)

Her playstyle depends on which stance she’s in.

-Fire stance has better kill power and combos.
-Ice stance’s combo game is weaker, but she has greater mobility and is better for opponents who are easy to read.

You can switch stance by taunting (Don’t worry, if you stay idle for 2 seconds she will taunt on her own!)

The following attacks change depending on mode:
-Fair
-Uair
-Dair
-All specials
-Dtilt

Each stance has a bunch of unique stuff.

-Forward Air can stick to walls for a bit. You can cancel it with jump or airdodge

-Zil can perform a super wavedash by wavedashing opposite to the direction she wants to go and then quickly moving the stick to that direction right after landing (You must keep jump pressed for the Super Wavedash to work.)

-Zil has less friction on the ground
-Can freeze her opponent with ice projectiles for a few seconds if the opponent is marked with water.

-Fire attacks have increased knockback and damage when the opponent is marked with oil.
-Can set her opponents on fire.
-Can place fire on the stage that can act as a mine if the opponent is marked.
-Can keep doing dash attack until you reach the ledge.

And more.

Have fun finding out all of the differences each mode has! Maybe you might like one mode more than the other, who knows!
