any chance there is a full version of her victory theme?

Lyca is my favorite custom character since her release. Loved the little updates and the new art.

This might just be the most fair projectile character I have ever played in any fighting game and its definitely one of the best OCs I ever played

By far one of the best characters in the workshop. If base cast was this fun, i would actually play competitively.

Why am i hearing MEGALOVANIA here ?

I had a lot of fun playing with this character and I hope to see the creators of it to prosper

Late to the party but Lyca's definitely one of my favorite workshop characters, quite a lot of depth to her kit and she fits well with clear inspiration from ZSS and Pit.

Probably won't ever happen but if she ever gets another update/rework I'd love for her to get the ability to fire her arrow upwards by inputting up during the startup or while charging. Besides possibly helping to get some kills off the top, it would also allow for some fun setups with the wisps as on lower amounts of charge the arrow would come back down and detonate the wisp a couple seconds after the arrow was fired.

Lyca is a really fun character that I've spent a lot of time playing. She's went through some changes in her kit, and I think for the most part she's come out a lot better for it. Even with all the time I've put into Lyca it still feels like I've got a lot to learn and experiment with! Thanks to everyone involved for making such a great character!

Is it just me, or does the font look like "fuckering" instead of "flickering"?

why am i acting this way

to see if it is WORTHY of STAYING in the ROSTER of custom rivals i have

dang this looks GOOD.
time to TEST IT

really fun character, feels good to play

also fair 1 wasnt connecting to 2. again rusty but i dont remember me having troubles with that and i dont know if something changed.

looking for the update as well. just played tower online and was rusty so i picked lyca. got bodied in a match i feel used to swing easy cuz the arrows got mad nerfed. it was my safety net verse ppl camping with dash attack spamming, bullshit custom characters. really need those to go through plats again.

There's actually a big update in the works right now for Lyca -- this revamps the way arrows and wisps work as a whole ans should hopefully make the character feel much more cohesive and smooth to play -- do look out for that!

look how they massacred my girl

I used to main Lyca, I really enjoyed the way she played. The most recent update got some quality of life tweaks, but the nerfs to her arrows absolutely butchered her as a character. At this point I'm keeping her around in my subscription box in the hopes that the neutral special gets fixed to at least be usable again for things like the rapid charge shot, but as is Lyca's just... not the same character I'd come to main, and it stings something fierce my dudes

The new cooldown to her nspecial is probably for balancing reasons, but it currently feels a little unresponsive and not very intuitive, especially when you try to fire a few arrows in a row. The cooldown feels a little too long and you kinda left to wait to see if your nspecial actually started its animation which feels a little bad.

Wow. Just wow. I've played as her for five minutes and this is already one of my favorite's. Amazing work everyone!

Wait, so the wisps are her children?

This character feels great to play. When you get things to line up and quick snipe an enemy into the blast zone off-stage, it is absolutely amazing, and she doesn't feel too strong when going up against the rest of the roster. The character rewards smart play. For my part, I think it is extremely well-balanced. The art's nice too. Good aesthetics, good design... Can't really criticize it all. It's solid.

That's epic! Spirits as arrows is mind blowing! I have to know your next workshop character!!!

best ws character

@crippling depression:
You have to charge your arrow up with strong, get the blue charge around you and then you will practically kill with all smashes.

@pandabomb
Out of all the Workshop characters, this one is by far my favorite. Her aesthetic, her movement, her gimmick. I love her! But this wouldn't be the internet without some critics lol. Anyway, my only nitpick I have is in the art. She has 3 fingers, 2 which grab the bow from the left and a THUMB that grabs it from the right. But she doesn't do that in any of the splash art and its killing me!. She does it right in the trailer when she grabs the wisp. So please! FIX!! Other than that, keep up the phenomenal work <3

i want f strong to kill

This character actually feels like she was meant to be part of the game. Although the mechanics are a bit hard to learn, once you know how to use them she's actually pretty fearsome. It honestly sucks the Rivals DLC is finally finished as I think Lyca would've been a pretty great candidate.

I am having the same issue as the other users such as Rota Abyssian.
I am simply cant get gimmick ( will of the wisp) to activate despite following the instruction as per the latest patch. This is the perfect example of breaking things that do not need fix. She was good at first release. Now she does not even work. I may as well delete her. But great job from the author. Great design and everything but this character is not at her full potential. Anyway. Best luck

@power cubed

Yeah, I understand. We changed the mechanic again

"THE FUCKERING SPECTRE"

@pandabomb:
I really need to read the patch notes more carefully. still seems like a strange mechanic because there isn't a lot that encourages using the wisp mechanic more and its not hard at all to get them back, so letting people spam it with no repercussions does sound like a bit much in my opinion.

@power cubed:

In the current build, wisp are only consumed on hit. Did you land the launching hit?

just discovered that wisp charged up-strong dose not spend a wisp when you have 3 wisps.

looks like she isn't marked as finished

@rota Abyssian: we patched Lyca last night in an attempt to change the charge mechanic. To charge nspecial and the strongs, press “away” on the joystick.

Example: if doing Ustrong, press down to charge it to blue

For the life of me, i cannot get her gimmicks to work for me. I hold down a charge arrow for as long as it will stick, but it will never turn blue. And despite having every button mapped on controller, cannot get any of her empowers or cancels off.

Not at all a fan of her taunt.
It takes way too long and is too loud.
Would really love a quicker taunt and have her default one as an alternative.

:)

throwing your children at enemies is a surprisingly effective strategy

why is her idle hurtbox so small? but when she taunts her hurtbox gets bigger and looks normal

giving a limited resource makes the player question whether using it now or later would be better, which unlike sub-optimal controls, is a good thing. Like Cloud or Hero in smash you need to pick the best moment to use the resource. Likewise making strong attacks always use a wisp will make people as hesitant to use them as a celebrity being told to give to the poor. As for how to enable the use of a wisp, as i mentioned earlier mapping it to the triggers on a controller feels like the most optimal, since people will have their fingers on those anyways, and the button serves no other purpose while one is charging a strong attack. It also works with keyboard controls, not that they'd have this problem anyways but enabling everyone to play the character is important.

Godslayerfenrir. We are looking into it.

Would you prefer an easier input like a dodge trigger or maybe pressing the left stick on the reverse direction?

Or would prefer the strongs just used wisp automatically?

the character's gimmick isn't inclusive of people with different controls and i feel it will turn people off of what would otherwise be a fantastic character. (Wanted to say this in previous comment but forgot)

This feels like a good character, i just have one suggestion. Rather than tying enhanced strong attacks to the special button can you tie it to parry or something? without using tap smash or completely altering my controls i must employ "the claw" to press the special button while charging a strong attack. Needless to say this is far from ideal in any circumstance, much less in the middle of a heated fight. If it's mapped to parry then my fingers will already be in position to press the button, and it's not like you can parry while charging a strong attack anyway

I SIMPLE FURRY CHARACTER? UNREAL! TAKE MY THUMBS UP WE NEED MORE CHARACTERS LIKE THIS.
