YOMI Hustle: Character Moveset Concept
"Suffocatingly I have endured. Desperately I have longed. Beyond all count, I have cursed."
Playstyle
Muga is a high-risk rushdown character who lives and dies by her combos. Her combo starters are deliberately difficult: Inevitable Termination requires setup, her specials and supers carry heavy startup, and Designated Opponent has a punishing hitbox. Miss, and she pays for it. Land, and the opponent does.
Blade Afterimage degrades rapidly outside of combos, pressuring Muga to stay aggressive. The combat loop is simple: build stacks, apply Phantom Trace, and use Inevitable Termination to guarantee re-entry the moment a combo window opens. As such, bursting too late means Muga can immediately get another combo started.
HP: 1250. Muga is a glass cannon. Without the House of Spiders present, she's forced to take every hit herself.
On Muga
Entanglement (Custom Level)
Builds passively and through hits and combos. Caps at 10. Spent on Supers and some Specials.
On Opponent
Blade Afterimage
Caps at 25. Each stack = +1% damage from Muga. At 20+ stacks, Phantom Trace is applied, enabling Inevitable Termination (3 Entanglement) as a free unclashable combo starter. Degrades rapidly outside of active combos with 2 every frame window unless actively being hit or in a combo.
