Main 3 Characters

  1. Lepic
    Lepic is your classic straightforward high-damage shooter equipped with an array of grenades, rocket launchers, and all-around high explosive damage dealing. His main focus is mid to long-range launching attacks and increasing his attack above all else. He also has a few abilities to keep damage and effects at bay as you take deadly attacks and when you have lower health.
  2. Viessa
    Viessa is the ice wielder full of debuff powers. You can use a wide range of ice attacks that will also incorporate extra affective ice damage and debuffing skills. The effectiveness also increases to larger percentages depending on how high level her attack stages are.
  3. Ajax
    Ajax is the massive tank with shield power, stun damage, and knockback attacks. Using ‘void energy’ you expend to massive increase attack and defense abilities that come from HP and defense base power and attacks, depending on the level of those two main stats.

Unlockable 6 Characters

  1. Gley
    Every game has to have a beautiful deadly healer with glasses. Gley has a lot of intense vampiric-like healing and life-draining powers. Her berserker mode increases all these effects while also using her HP as power, damage, and determined level of effectiveness. Good thing her ability also includes dropping extra healing spheres from enemies at all times. She even has an ability to negate running out of ammo.
  2. Blair
    The pyromancer-style gameplay of Blair is all about hard-hitting constant close-range fire damage. Most of all his abilities relate to a wide spreading fire damage attacks and setting up areas called “stoves” to deal constant fire damage. With laying out stoves, along with his flamethrower attack and fireball attack that deals a massive range of area damage, you’ll be burning the whole field in no time.
  3. Bunny
    Bunny focuses on always moving to charge up her electric-based attacks. Don’t keep her still for long unless you’re using her pulse or high-energy beam attacks. The more you move and the faster you build up her speed and electricity attack the more damage you deal.
  4. Sharen
    If you love being the close-range assassin then Sharen is for you. Designed to get in and get out fast, Sharne’s camouflage technique along with physically based electric attacks are all about doing lots of damage to closed-in groups and getting out of there to do it all again.
  5. Jayber
    It’s all about the turrets with Jayber. You have attack turrets and healing turrets. You even have a special gun you shoot at your turrets to increase their ability for a quick burst amount of time. The turrets use HP however, so you’re going to want to focus more on them. Then stay out of enemy range and behind your buddies quite often and lay good traps with your turrets.
  6. Freyna
    You’re going to want to really focus on Freyna’s high poison damage abilities. She has tons of ways to spread and project her poison effects fast and efficiently. With her high defense, you can run around and hit enemies with as much poison power as you can. Poison also subjects them to extra gun damage the longer they are poisoned.
