YOMI Hustle: Character Moveset Reference
Counter / Punish Archetype
Playstyle
Kim is a counter/punish character who fights with grief as his fuel. His entire kit revolves around getting hit, every blow the opponent lands builds Growing Resentment, and enough Resentment detonates into To Claim Their Bones. He is deliberate and slow, but not immobile. Rangers hard counter him by design, but he has enough tools to close distance and make it a fight rather than a free win. He claims bones too.
HP: 2000
