Amvira

RoA-Workshop Wiki Page: https://roa-workshop.fandom.com/wiki/Amvira

Amvira grew up in Hell, the overlooked middle child of a noble family, but a chance summoning to Earth gave her the chance to live her own life. She quickly escaped the bindings of the novice infernalist who summoned her, and set off learning how to become a DJ! She opted to lay low, but came to genuinely love the world, and became its protector, though she retained her arrogant, thrill-seeking personality.

Amvira is a wild rushdown fighter with unpredictable movements, who rewards you for predicting your opponents. Striking your opponent she fills up her meter, allowing her to temporarily transform into her mighty Balrog form!

In this form, she is nearly unkillable, with massive knockback reduction, reduced damage taken, and soft armor out the wazoo, but if your opponent is brave, punishes your mistakes, finds your blind spots, and lands some solid hits, the transformation meter will deplete surprisingly fast!

Against particularly slippery opponents, her Balrog D-Special, Brutal Finisher, is the most surefire way to land a killing strike; a fairly quick command grab that instantly and stylishly defeats any foe above a damage thresshold. It even comes with three extra variants!

Amvira comes with support for Feri, TCO,Kirby, Dracula (with a pretty special scene), Trummel & Alto (with a codec for each form), Hikaru (with a title for each form), Rat, Katie(?), and Abyss Rune Buddy! Please check out those mods, too!

Normal Form Specials:

N-Special (Hellfire Flare): Amvira fires up to two fireballs, and can move back and forth during each throw to affect their speed. Damage is low, but it applies hellfire buff. Amvira can cancel a roll into Hellfire Flare, or cancel it with a roll.

F-Special (Shadow Strike): Amvira dashes forwards a large distance, dealing light damage to enemies she passes through. There is a sweetspot at the end of the attack. Holding special causes Amvira to repeat the attack but in the opposite direction. If she hit a foe with the first strike, the second strike will lock on to their position.

U-Special (Feral Leap): Amvira leaps forwards in a controllable arc. She grabs foes, then delivers a multi-hit attack upon hitting the ground. This attack lets go of the opponent if she tries to drag them off-screen, but she can cancel it at any time with an airdodge.

D-Special (Balrog Transformation): Uses a full meter to transform into her super powerful Balrog Form. While in this form, she takes reduced damage and knockback. The transformation depletes over time, when taking damage, or when using special moves.

Balrog Form Specials:

N-Special (Hell Mortar): Amvira spends 4% of her meter, and fires a large, slow moving fireball. By holding a direction at the start of the attack, its horizontal speed can be altered, and it can curve up or down. On impact with a player or the ground, it makes a large, multi-hit explosion. You can aim at the ground to catch people in the blast radius, but its stronger on a direct hit.

F-Special (Shadow Slam): Amvira slowly rises up before dashing forward and slamming the ground. If you hold the special button, she will rise farther, and fly farther and faster. Be careful; once you start, this attack can't be fly-cancelled, so don't SD with it!

U-Special (Flight): Amvira gains omnidirectional flight, as well as 7 frames of super-armor after a 3 frame startup. This ability drains meter while active, but lasts indefinitely, can be used to cancel out of multiple attacks (including strong-attack charge windows), can be cancelled into a jump or any aerial at any time, and it can be used repeatedly without landing.

D-Special (Brutal Finisher): Amvira quickly grabs an opponent in front of her. Below certain percentages (dependent on enemy KB scaling), the attack will simply deal 25 damage before releasing the opponent. Above certain percentages, denoted by a skull above the target's head, the attack will instantly kill with a flashy finisher. While performing, hold Taunt, and optionally either Up or Down, to access one of three alternate versions of the finisher. This attack consumes a lot of meter if you miss, and even more if you hit.

Traits

Forward Counter: F-Strong and F-Air have intangibility frames as Amvira dashes before attacking backwards. F-Tilt has no intangibility frames, but raises her hurtbox up in the air enough to avoid some attacks. All three of these abilities have increased potency if the opponent is or was recently attacking.

Hellfire: Landing N-Special or D-Strong grants Amvira a Hellfire buff, which increases her damage, knockback, and hitstun for a short duration. The duration is reset every time you land a hit.

Super Dash: For a brief time after landing a hit with any attack, Amvira's initial dash speed is greatly increased.

Reposition: Most attacks can be cancelled on hit by pressing or holding shield, which adds extra hitpause and causes Amvira to roll. There is a brief cooldown on Reposition rolls.

Transform Meter: Landing hits or parrying enemy attacks builds meter. Filling it up allows you to transform by pressing down+special. While in your transformed state, your meter decays slowly, but getting hit or using specials causes meter to deplete quickly.

Fly Cancelling: In Balrog form, most attacks can be cancelled with up-special. Doing so drains meter, but can be used for a pseudo turbo mode.
