They’re both enigmatic fighters with questionable motives and shrouded pasts. Learn more about them in today’s blog post below: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43108098/a66a66cc5d0ad8178fa6deec10fdc7bb581f670d.png[/img] [b]Mistress Persephone[/b] is an enigmatic character who seemingly has her hand in many of the affairs of the realm. She granted DeGrey his seeming immortality and retrieved the Stormborne Family Sword from Onimaru to return it to its rightful owners. She twists, manipulates and respects the inner strength of friend and foe alike. Persephone controls her opponents by restricting their actions and getting a huge bonus for knocking her opponents down. Her innate ability, [b]Dominance[/b], lets her recur cards from the discard pile when she scores a knockdown, and lets her get four cards when her [b]Y Loyal Pets[/b] effect (a projectile “summon”) triggers on the same turn. She can even recur her supers with this to keep the oppression going. Most uniquely, her super [b]Mistress’s Command[/b] is kind of slow and only deals 1 damage, but it allows her to control her opponent’s combat card selection on the following turn. This allows her not only to fully see the opponent’s hand, but also force them to use their Super moves, Block the wrong direction or break apart Pairs to prevent them from powering up. She has generally low damage on a lot of her options, so this is just one of the ways that she can slowly grind you out over the course of a match.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43108098/6f249aac2fc82aa8a621776834c5436024cbbcf2.png[/img] Vendetta is one of the more mysterious characters in the Fantasy Strike universe; on the surface, he’s an undead mercenary working with Zane (we’ll meet him later!) and the Blood Guard, but he secretly serves a dark master from the Dreadlands. Gameplay-wise, he’s the premier “poking” character in the Yomi series. He has fast and varied normal attacks that can string to short combos, but they also draw him extra cards when he plays them and doesn’t get hit (when he outspeeds enemy Attacks, gets Blocked, or stabs into a Throw). Vendetta uses that card advantage to draw into his powerful special moves and gain fodder for powerups. He can also use his X Attack, Tumbling Strike, as a combo ender or Dodge follow-up to do 20 damage while discarding some of those excess cards. His Y Dodge, Acrobatics, is perhaps his most iconic move; it avoids Attacks and Throws, and can even be used while knocked down!
