Coven characters

On the topic of the Wendigo-Tsar hybrid wouldn’t it make sense that he would have other wendigoes as strikers? Even as just shadow moves or Instinct it could work since he’s the pack leader after all.

That could work. Something like Enchantress’s character train in Injustice 2

To be fair there are a lot of characters in KI that would feel “normal” in other games as well (Sabrewulf, Orchid, etc.). The Wendigo/Tsar hybrid is a great idea, but it’s not like they have to fuse everything together to make unique and interesting character designs; I mean look at Hisako, she is just an Onryo and her gameplay and aesthetic ended up amazing.

I understand that. I just feel like sense we have Mira, we don’t need another vampire. And I feel that the magic moves people are saying the Tsar should have by himself would fit better with a witch or mage character (my personal preference being a version of Baba Yaga, we need more old women in fighting games). Plus, by itself, a normal Wendigo would feel too similar to Sabrewulf. I don’t want this to be like Street Fighter with a million energy-ball throwing martial artists in gis. I want every fighter to bring something completely new to the table.

I could see a vampire hunter being a possible character for the “gun character” archetype like Chris Redfield in MvC3 (zoner character where every button has a different gun being used). He could also have a heavy focus on traps to create large setups and combos, with Instinct being a mode where he switches to a new moveset for the duration (involving his most powerful relics used for killing the biggest monsters).

I’d rathe our supernatural hunter be more of a John Constantine than a Van Helsing, but that’s just me. I have this idea for a character named Wildcard.

Wildcard: Slayer of Gods
• A fighter with a unique rhythm in life, at a young age Chad Bowman and his family were abducted by the Cult of Enyo. They killed his parents before his eyes and bound their souls to him using shadow. The trauma inspired him to fight demons when he grew up, renaming himself Wildcard, but as a coping mechanism, he doesn’t take anything seriously. The ritual also granted him enhanced speed and reflexes, as well as the ability to channel Shadow energy for magical spells.
• Essentially Johnny Cage mixed with John Constantine, Wildcard uses spells to move his oponant from place to place, like Gargos’s portal maneuvers. He can call apon his parent’s spirits to either grant a strength boost or a speed boost. He also has small enchanted playing cards, easily the fastest projectile in the game. He has a magical talisman that can be used like Shinnok’s amulet in MKX, copying one move from his opponent’s move list, however, obvious physical differences between the characters can result in the copied ability not being as effective as the same move on its native character.

That’s from an older post. Don’t mind the mention of someone named Enyo, it’s not important and could easily be replaced by the Tsar and the Coven. Or any number of cults worshiping KI’s various demons. Now that I think about it, the best character would probably be a fusion of the two ideas.
