Greetings, warriors!

Previously, we shared the concept design of a new female character while keeping her weapon hidden for the time being, leaving everyone to guess what she would wield.

Today, it’s finally time for the reveal: the new character joining Wretch: Divine Ascent is the Swordswoman, and her weapon of choice is a two-handed greatsword. (Bigger and heavier than the Knight’s sword.)

For those of you who joined in the guessing before—did anyone get it right?

In addition to her weapon, the Swordswoman will also feature two special mechanics: “Quick Activation” and “Full-Power Heavy Strike.”

These mechanics mainly affect the startup and recovery of her attacks. So even with a greatsword in hand, she can still be surprisingly agile in certain situations.

How can a two-handed greatsword “move quickly”? And how should “Full-Power Heavy Strike” be combined with different moves to bring out its full potential?

We’ll reveal more about how these two mechanics work and how they perform in combat in future updates. Stay tuned!
