Dwaalux

I can't believe I fell for such a lame prank. None of the houses even have their lights on! Halloween night is almost over and this dead end street's clearly a waste of time. Whatever. They said if I could make it all the way to the end and back without getting scared, I could take one piece of candy from each of their piles! I'm not scared of the dark, this'll be a piece of cake.


The street lamps give just enough light to see the end of the street: I count sixteen houses until the brick wall. One, two, three, four... I can't wait to see the look on their faces when I take the biggest chocolate from their piles! Five, six, seven, eight... did that lamp just flicker? The city should get that checked out. Nine, ten, eleven, twelve... Already halfway to the end. I can't believe I'm busting a sweat... but I guess the costume's pretty heavy after all. Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen... Ha, I can already almost taste the chocolate! So why am I tasting blood...?


One, two, three... were the street lamps always this harsh? Four... five... six... I think I gotta sit down for a minute and catch my breath... Seven... nine...? I lost count... It's all so bright, my head's spinning... Where did my friends go? Fourteen... two... ten... It looks like the lamps are moving... Why am I here again? Just go towards the light...


One...... five...... eight...... Are you here to help, Mr. Lamp?

Play as Dwaalux, the False Light! Illuminate the path to victory!





Dwaalux's defining gimmick is "Hex Percent", a temporary source of damage that can quickly shift the outcome of any match in favor of the aggressor. Whenever a character is enveloped in Dwaalux's light, or is hit by any of Dwaalux's light-based attacks, they accumulate Hex Percent. Hex Percent can be transferred to another player by hitting them. The more hex percent you have, and the bigger the attack, the more you transfer at once.

Time is of the essence, however, as it will decay if you stay away from the light and don't get hit. Players who take risks and carefully manage their own Hex Percent can unleash even more damage in a single combo string, leading to some very early kills.














Tip: Who Turned Out the Lights?
Dwaalux's light-based attacks do less actual damage to compensate for the Hex Damage they apply. Press Taunt to toggle the light on and off; half of the Hex Damage is converted to actual damage if the lamp is off.


Tip: Lord of the Luster
Dwaalux accumulates Hex Percent faster, stores it for longer, and sheds it faster than other characters. Naturally, Dwaalux has superior control over its own gimmick, so take advantage of it!


Tip: Charged BAir
Dwaalux can charge their back air for extra oomph!
