Gameplay

Michael

Michael has a specific unique ability that lets him get stronger as his allies are incapacitated. His talent, Firey Indignation, doesn't activate by having one person repeatedly dying; they must be someone else. Michael is included in this count bringing the possible stat self-increase to +100%, which could be useful via reviving. Skill-wise, his fastest move is Bosom Blow, while Firefest is the highest damaging/Rush gain move unless Lava Flow is viable.

Possible combos are:

• Normal » Pyroclast Punch » Bosom Blow » Firefest / Lava Flow » (evade if using Volcano)
