  • Well Timed Blocks and successful Dodges grant 5% of max Power while Night Thrasher is under 1 Bar of Power.

Dev Notes: Night Thrasher’s combat suit allows him to focus on the important aspects of battle and not worry about small nicks and burns. His damage increases considerably when the battle goes his way. Playing optimally, by fully utilizing Parry and dodging incoming attacks, allows him to retaliate at a faster pace than his opponents.

Skateboard Attacks

  • Champions of the Contest never see the skateboard coming. Attacks using the skateboard have passive True Accuracy.

Dev Notes: Skateboard hits occur during Medium Attacks, Heavy Attacks, Special 1 and Special 2. Mastering when to use the skateboard is the key making the most out of Night Thrasher’s Abilities.

On Opponent Knockdown

  • Refresh the duration of all active Gadget Debuffs.

Dev Notes: Knockdowns occur after successfully landing a Heavy Attack, Special 1, or Special 2. Knowing when to knock down your opponent will be vital to Night Thrasher’s success. In situations without enough Power to knock the opponent down with a Special then plan to use Heavy Attacks after a successful Parry.

  • After being Knocked Down Night Thrasher has a 25-50% chance to Purify all Debuffs.

Dev Notes: Players can use Heavy Attacks to inflict a Taunt once the opponent has been peppered with enough of Night Thrasher’s gadgets. Maximizing Night Thrasher’s damage comes from taking advantage of his skateboard attacks while his opponent is Taunted. Players can also expect Night Thrasher to have a tough mental psyche with the ability shrug off debuffs after being Knocked Down.

Special Attacks[]

Special 1 - Vengeance on a Skateboard
Night Thrasher blindsides his target with skateboard strikes to open them up for a trick gadget shot.

Dev Notes: Utilizing all of the gadgets at Night Thrasher’s disposal is essential. Night Thrasher can execute one of three gadgets if Special 1 is used immediately after ending a combo with a Light or Medium Attack.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Anti-Incinerate
    • Night Thrasher has added immunity against Incinerate attacks thanks to his custom-made armor. This allows him to take opponents like Human Torch without worry
  • Disorient
    • Night Thrasher’s Smoke Capsule gadget reduces the opponent’s ability to trigger defensive abilities allowing him to go on the offensive without much worry.
  • Taunt
    • Night Thrasher's sig ability allows him to Taunt the opponent. A taunted opponent will be more likely to activate a Special Attack, allowing a skilled Night Thrasher to control the pace of a fight in his favor. Alongside that, landing Skateboard attacks while the opponent is Taunted grants him Fury Buffs which greatly increases his damage.

Weaknesses[]

  • Playstyle
    • Managing your Gadget Debuffs on your opponent is paramount. Mixing Heavies and Specials into your fighting style is key. This is a challenge that experienced players will want to contend with.
  • Power Manipulation
    • Abilities targeting Night Thrasher’s power meter will significantly impact his ability to Debuff his opponent. If Night Thrasher can’t effectively Debuff his opponent his damage potential becomes limited.
  • Purify
    • Night Thrasher relies on his Debuffs for maximum damage output. Champions that are immune or shrug off Debuffs will disrupt Night Thrasher’s playstyle and limit his damage potential.
  • Stun immunity
    • Night Thrasher needs to land Heavy attacks in order to refresh his Debuffs. Without being able to stun the opponent, he cannot do that as effectively

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Precision
    • Night Thrasher’s Critical Hits are boosted by his Special 2 but only for a temporary duration. Boosting his Critical Hit Rating gives him access to increased damage without relying on Special 2.
  • Inequity / Despair
    • Throughout the fight, Night Thrasher will have inflicted Debuffs on his opponent. Inequity will allow Night Thrasher to survive for longer while applying his gadget Debuffs. Pick up Despair to shut down opponents that rely on Regenerative Health effects.
