Chou est le héros de plus haut plafond du roam. L'idée est simple — l'ultime envoie une cible en l'air et la déplace — mais son exécution repose sur des annulations d'animation que le jeu n'explique nulle part. Le combo de référence enchaîne compétence 1, saut annulé, ultime, puis compétence 2 pour retenir la cible à l'atterrissage.
Son intérêt en équipe organisée vient de là : il choisit qui meurt. Contre un joueur qui garde son Purify, en revanche, l'ultime perd la moitié de sa valeur, et Chou redevient un combattant moyen.
Strengths
- Choisit et isole une cible prioritaire
- Immunisé aux contrôles pendant sa compétence 2
- Excellent en escarmouche à deux ou trois
Weaknesses
- Exécution exigeante, très punitive à l'apprentissage
- Neutralisé par Purify sur la cible visée
- Dégâts faibles si l'isolement échoue
A talented fighter with a heart of chivalry.
Story
Chou was born in an isolated slum in the heart of poverty, living the lowest quality of life. Despite the terrible conditions, Chou kept his heart of kindness, while continuing to care for the old and young with passion day after day. During this period there was great unrest and unrest in the Land of Dawn; chaos spread throughout the country and eventually began to affect this small, isolated area.
One day, Chou rescued a mystical monk being chased by his captors and brought him back to his slum to take care of him. In return, the monk passed on to Chou the ancient Asian skill of Kung Fu and told him that the world needed a true hero to rise up and end the chaos. Chou then made a vow to begin his journey to the Land of Dawn to become a true hero without looking back. As Chou left, the monk nodded and disappeared into the shadows.
