After surviving a paradox and the horrors of the abyss, Rudas & Dagon emerge to hunt for their vengeance.

Rudas & Dagon are a puppet character that focus on having complete control of the puppet's actions. Rudas has a mix of standard and unusual attacks, while Dagon is intended to support him during both neutral and combos.





Nspecial: When Dagon is unsummoned, this will summon him at your location. When he is summoned, this will cause Rudas to enter command mode, from there, simply input a direction to give Dagon a command. If special is pressed again while in command mode, Dagon will be unsummoned. Command mode can even be entered when performing another action, but not while being hit.

Fspecial: Tells Dagon to move left or right depending on which direction you chose. Can be used while Dagon is both unsummoned and summoned.

Uspecial: When dagon is unsummoned, this will summon him at your location as a projectile that will travel in an upward arc. Dagon can hit the opponent in this state. When he is summoned, if you use uspecial from the ground, it will launch him upwards as normal. If used from the air, Rudas will teleport to Dagon's position and attack on arrival. Dagon will also be launched upward if you use uspecial while performing another action.

Dspecial: Rudas will punch forward and leave his arm where he punched. This opens a rift to the abyss, which will empower Dagon and heal him if he makes contact with it for an extended period of time. When empowered, all of Dagon's commands gain a new trait. Nfspecial will wait for the opponent to be in range before biting, nuspecial will gain damage and float towards Rudas instantly, and ndspecial will follow Rudas.



Nspecial Forward: This is Dagon's primary attack command. He begins charging up a smash attack by growing a larger head from his mouth. The second head then bites, dealing massive damage to opponents caught in the attack.

Nspecial Up: This command causes Dagon to spit an eye projectile upward. The projectile is somewhat slow and bounces once before floating towards where Rudas was when it landed. Only one projectile can be active and it will splat on contact with an enemy. It can also be destroyed by enemy attacks.

Nspecial Down: Dagon assumes a bear trap like position for some time and waits for an opponent to make contact with him. He will then grab them and throw them upward.

Nspecial Hold: Pressing and holding nspecial while in command mode will tell Dagon to regain a health state after a short period of time. You don't need to keep holding nspecial after you hear the sound.


During Loxodont's rise to power, many of the soldiers recruited into his army came from outside the Firelands. Rudas was one such soldier, hailing from the swamps not far from Merchant Port. Having previously worked as a bodyguard for wealthy merchants, he was no stranger to protecting the powerful.

After many grueling battles, and with the scars to prove it, Rudas was eventually promoted to the status of royal guard. Back in a familiar role, he settled into his new position and kept steadfast watch against any outsiders, unaware of the danger within. It was only luck that led to his patrol being nearby when Clairen made her move.

He raced to the other side of the bridge past the bots, watching his former comrade seal herself inside a strange device. Attempting to pry open the doors, he heard someone call out to him, before a flash of light and heat flooded his senses. Swept up in the timestream surrounding Clairen’s device, Rudas had no protection from the paradox that awaited him.

Caught between what is and what was, he could feel his existence burning away. His only escape was the timeless Abyss below, rooting him from possibilities into What Cannot Be. The void cut through his senses, time crumpled and sizzled away. In that yawning maelstrom he found no peace, reduced to a needle-thin thread of survival instinct. A presence both foreign and familiar approached him, latching on like a long-lost friend, giving strength in uncharted waters. Crawling through endless darkness, they finally find themselves in a time long since passed.

A paradox that shouldn’t have lived, a hunter that never existed. Only one goal burns in their linked mind, ringing through their body like some primal hunger.

Revenge.
