Tips and Tricks[]
Role & Strategy[]
- Rain Shadow is an offensive fighter with a Signature Ability that allows her to inflict ARMOR BREAK and POWER SURGE when landing a blocked hit. Furthermore, while on her side of the stage for some time, the opponent will lose all current BUFFS and suffer FATIGUE, which has a chance to inflict STUN when expired.
- Although Buff removal has strong offensive utility, Rain Shadow falls flat when executing it right. Most often, fighters will be on the opponent's side of the stage so to activate Rain Shadow's Signature Ability, players will have to switch their play style.
- Although her ARMOR BREAK and POWER SURGE infliction are great, it's also held back by its poor execution, as hitting a blocking enemy leaves you open to be countered.
- Overall, Rain Shadow is a weak offensive fighter with niche defensive capabilities.
- Marquee Ability: Both of Fukua's Marquee Abilities only activates when a certain percentage of health is lost, which will often happen when used defensively. WRAITH'S WRATH is the recommended Marquee Ability for Rain Shadow to increase her survivability, which may allow her to survive fatal attacks.
Stat Investment[]
- General Investment: As an offensive Fukua, Rain Shadow is best built with Attack, Piercing, Meter Gain and Special Cooldown.
- Special investment: Accuracy will increase the chances of Rain Shadow inflicting her debuffs and stops defenders from resisting FATIGUE.
Trivia[]
- This variant is a direct reference to the character Rain, from the Mortal Kombat video game series, with its caption being a lyric to the song Purple Rain by Prince which is the main inspiration behind the character.
