Arcana Heart 3/AH3X/Pistrix

Pistrix

Profile

The marine beast that was born from alchemy, Paracelsia's investigations gave birth to the "Pistrix Homunculus" project, this one is test subject No. 29.

Test subject No. 29 is treated like the previous ones, this has hindered the creation of a parental bond between her and Parace. However, her emotional range is far greater than the previous ones and she learns even faster than the previous test subjects.

"I want to look cute & fashionable", that's something that No. 29 is always thinking. This is because most of the knowledge that she absorbs so fast comes from anime, manga, and superhero shows; which leads to her common sense being a little out of the ordinary.

Parace can use her alchemy with the other homunculus in order to recreate the original body (Pisu), this allows No. 29 to call the others during battle to give her the advantage. Her nickname is "Peace".

Overview

Beginner friendly rushdown character. Has a cross-up in j.C and a 2C that can pass through opponents or be cancelled into a special, allowing for tricky left/right mix. She powers up (up to two times, and they last throughout rounds) using her command grab, which grants her extra damage and properties on her existing special moves, as well as an additional super move and at least one power up is needed for her critical heart. She seems to be unfinished however with some moves not working properly, and not having animations for getting hit by certain attacks from other characters. Her backdash is unique as it temporarily removes her hurtbox. A weird oddity of the characters attacks are that some moves will display a bubble effect on whiff.

Recommended Arcana
