Description
Short Background / Summary
A descendant of the powerful SL Wolves and half Water Dragon, Daora is a fighter in the resistance from Clarien's timeline. Loxodont destroyed her village, her family, and her life. Now she will get her revenge, no matter what.


Gameplay
Daora is a medium-heavy weight grappler that uses a elemental mark system to buff her next grapple attack.

- All Strongs, FAIR, BAIR, and Jab 3 will create a water mark on the opponent, her next grab will be buffed and play a unique animation with different properties.

- Grabs are her specials. Use them to consume the water mark on the opponent.



Specials
Neutral Special - Judo Hip Throw

Oh damn. Well, I understand.

@Discounted Potato, Sorry for the late response, I have been on vacation. That was a change I made a couple of years ago and forgot to update the steam page. I need to get around to that one of these days lol. The reason I made it was that the RKO was found to be hard to react to and would kill people because they were unsure if they got RKOed or the normal grab. I standardized it to the Fspec execute grab so it was more clear how to react to it.

For whatever reason, her boosted Dspecial leads to a curbstomp instead of an RKO.

Aside from that, she is an absolute blast to play as. I love her

@amaterachu sorry for the late response, but I am still working on her lore. I do plan to branch her out of the rivals lore she currently has into a more fuller character in the future. But I don't have everything set up yet.
amaterachu Feb 17 @ 3:31pm 
Please lore dump her I wanna know everything
amaterachu Feb 17 @ 3:31pm 
This is still the best water element (workshop) character of all time. I love her

Ah, that's okay and understandable. And what do you mean by future media?
Opengunner  [author] Oct 28, 2024 @ 8:05pm 
@alphalycanlord I plan to expand upon her personality and stuff in future media. I can't say I have it nailed it down.
alphalycanlord Oct 26, 2024 @ 6:53pm 
Also, I am curious. What exactly is Daora like? Personality wise and all that.
alphalycanlord Oct 20, 2024 @ 1:01pm 
Wait what, that cost that much? That's kinda absurd. Well I hope you can figure out something someday, but until then I'll keep playing Daora a bunch in the first game. She's just so fun to play for me.
