Black Dahlia

Black Dahlia's assassination skills allow her to easily control the battlefield. She excels at mid-range, with teleport and dash attack options for positioning as well as various traps, projectiles, and explosives to harass her foes. Her gun is her primary weapon, and using each of her unique Shot types effectively is key to her success. While she has few ways to mitigate damage or recover health, her moves provide many methods of disabling her enemies and bypassing their defenses, leaving them helpless against her fearsome arsenal.

Biography

Black Dahlia is the right-hand assassin of Lorenzo Medici, head of the mighty Medici crime syndicate that rules New Meridian from the shadows. A former agent of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs, Black Dahlia was mortally wounded decades ago in a confrontation with a Skullgirl and rebuilt with experimental cybernetic technology. The experience left her with an unquenchable thirst for blood and a fascination with the despair and suffering of others.

She betrayed her peers to fight as a hired hitwoman for whoever could keep her paid (and entertained). After Medici Tower is destroyed by the Skullgirl, Lorenzo sends Black Dahlia off on a killing spree to stop Marie and retrieve the stolen Life Gem from Ms. Fortune. However, Dahlia finds herself jaded with her employer and drawn to the forbidden thrills only the Skull Heart can provide…

Sharpshooter

Black Dahlia has 6 different types of ammunition shots that can be loaded. Tapping the smaller button will discard all of the currently loaded ammunition and load in 6 new shells.
Shots are always loaded in a specific set pattern when you reload. The 3rd shot will always be a Special Shot matching Dahlia's Element. The 6th shot will always be a Random Special Shot. Standard Shots are the default for the rest. Neutral Element will have the same random Special Shot for the 3rd and 6th slots.

Type	Element	Description
STANDARD SHOT	N/A	Default ammo type, and the most common in Dahlia’s arsenal. Fires in a slow arc and explodes on contact.
FIRE SHOT	Fire	Fires in a slow arc and the shell will pass through the opponent, and bounces off walls. When it hits the ground it leaves a persistent pool of flames which hits several times before vanishing.
LIGHTNING SHOT	Air	Fires in a straight line and causes significant hit stun, allowing combo follow-ups. If it hits an aerial opponent it will pin them in place in the air.
ICE SHOT	Water	Fires in a slow arc and will freeze the opponent on contact. If it hits an aerial opponent, they will drop straight down to the ground.
RAILGUN SHOT	Light	Fires an extremely fast beam shot in a straight line, dealing significant damage and causing a knockdown.
BUCKSHOT	Dark	Fires a fast, close-range, and high-damage shotgun blast that causes a wall bounce.
