Description
The warrior of the storm treaded the land and thought Aether would make a nice place to rest up, or so he thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Nimbat Companion]
Dust is the central character that's controlled by the player. Fidget resembles where Dust was a set period of time ago.

[Exhaustion Meter]
Dust & Fidget utilize an Exhaustion meter for Specials. When this meter depletes, Dust is put in stun & neither can perform these moves until Exhaustion is off of cooldown.

[Wall Cling]
Dust has a Wall Cling.

[Jab]
Slash the sword in various ways in front. Inputting Special for the 3rd Jab makes Dust leap forward. The Special Jab sends more upwards.

[Dash Attack]
Slide on the ground. An early hit sends upwards & a late hit sends out. This can go off ledges.

[Forward-Tilt]
A rising kick in front. If this connects at it's peak, Dust flings them to the opposite side of him.

[Neutral-Air]
An aerial variation of Jab which requires manual inputs. Hitfalling this will cancel whatever is remaining of the move.

[Forward-Air]
Swipe the sword in front. If this connects, Dust grabs & slams them into the ground.

[Neutral-Special (Fidget: Command)]
Uses Fidget's current equipped spell. Dust can move freely while casting this.

[Forward-Special (Dust Storm)]
Spin the sword rapidly in front multi-hitting enemies & deflecting projectiles as long as the input is held. Casting this in the air will have him propel forward. Dust can drift up or down while airborne. Collideing with the ground will transition into the grounded varient.
If one of Fidget's projectiles comes in contact of this move, the projectile gains bonus effects:
- Energy Blast: The amount of light is multiplied.
- Fireball: Spawns a slow moving piillar of flame forward.
- Thunderbolt: If Dust is within cast radius, the shock does increased damage and is conducted off of Dust.

[Down-Special (Fidget: Swap)]
Switches between Fidget's 3 spells. Dust can move freely while casting this.
- Energy Blast: Spew a spray of light in an arc. These don't apply knockback unless the enemy is already in hitstun. Has the lowest Exhaustion cost.
- Fireball: Cast a fireball forward damaging & igniting the first enemy hit.
- Thunderbolt: After a delay, shock an enemy nearby within radius. Has the highest Exhaustion cost.

[Up-Special (Rising Phoenix / The Fallen)]
Standard uppercut that carries Dust upwards, but doesn't put Dust in pratfall. Inputting Up-Special again at any point after this move is used airborne, Dust comes crashing down, spiking enemies along the way.

This is practically Dust & Fidget's entire moveset from Dust: An Elysian Tail with a few bonus moves to fill in the gaps.

Sword hitsounds are from Fire Emblem. Cry about it.

Suicide kills is not a move. It's an art.

Props to anyone that can figure these guys out, 'cause I can't do jack-sh*t with them.

If you do Fidget Lightning spam in a Free-For-All, I'm putting you in Chaotic Evil on my Alignment Chart.

If Dust just repeats saying "Dust" over & over again, uhhhh don't worry about it

Don't expect any major balances or changes. There may be bug fixes here and there, but that's just about it.

Game crashed when trying in Abyss Mode. Consider fixing it.

Oh, and palette option bugged when going around it.

When i bought the game for the first time and saw ori and shovel as guest character, I hoped to se Dust and Fidget in the game. Nice work bro.

I'm not questioning the Fire Emblem sound effects, I'm just wondering if there were any problems with the normal D:AET Sound Effects?

"Dust"

- Dust

(yeah that happens)

For me, clicking the voice toggle option doesn't toggle it. It just switches palettes instead.

Damn, a good few years ago I wanted to create this mod but didn't (and still don't) have the ability to do so. To see this come to fruition so well, to recognise all the moves from the original game, to realise the combo potential if it works similarly enough to the source material... I love this, I love you for doing this, and now I really need to find a controller that isn't busted so I can play this game again

Dust: An Elysian Tail is my favorite piece of media to ever come out, so y'all can't imagine how happy I am that this exists
