Stats & Specialization
Default Weapon: Strength-scaling melee weapon optimized for consecutive strikes and gap closing.
Abilities
Passive: Confluence
Draw power from allies and darkness-infused attacks:
- Ally Ultimate Trigger: When a nearby ally activates their Ultimate Art, Undertaker can instantly activate her own regardless of gauge fill
- Enemy Darkness Trigger: Closely evading darkness-infused grabs or attacks also triggers instant Ultimate Art access
This passive enables frequent, high-damage Ultimate Arts in coordinated teams.
Character Skill: Trance
Enter an altered state channeling darkness powers:
Normal Trance:
- Increased toughness (damage reduction)
- Attack power scaling with consecutive hits on enemies
- Enhanced mobility for fluid gap closing and evasion
Deep Trance (when Ultimate gauge is full):
- All Normal Trance benefits
- Automatic evasion of incoming attacks
Ultimate Art: Loathsome Hex
Massive stunning strike dealing devastating damage. Can be activated mid-range and allows instant gap closing for delivery. When triggered via Confluence, this becomes an accelerated version with reduced startup time.
Combat Strategy
Optimal Positioning
Undertaker thrives on the frontline, maintaining constant pressure through consecutive attacks. Her skillset supports a hit-and-run playstyle: dash to mid-range for incantations or dodges, then instantly close distance for melee punishment.
