Glimmer [Xenoblade Chronicles 3]

From Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, Glimmer arrives in Rivals of Aether!

Check out her awesome home stage by ATalksToSelf: Vermilion Woods!

Glimmer is a character based around the theme of music and buffing.
She has a variety of tools that let you use her moveset in different ways for a very open array of playstyles!
Her mechanics can loop into each other in many ways, but requires careful planning and resource management.


Attacking with normals will grant her music notes on her partition, up to 5.
By using Dspecial, you can play those notes and activate buffs based on conditions.
Having 3 notes of the same color will grant you the corresponding buff. Grey notes only extend the buff's duration and don't have a buff themselves.

-Red melody improves offense: More damage and kill power overall.

-Blue melody enhances defense: Harder to kill and some moves change/ are enhanced to be more defensive.

-Green melody enhances movement: Faster, jumps higher and mobility focused tweaks.

Glimmer can make use of fire balls in different ways for pressure, combos, or stage control.
Her neutral special is her primary way to generate them.
Spear attacks that use flames will also spawn fire balls on hit.

Up to 6 of them can be on the field and detached from Glimmer at the same time.

Glimmer in her original game is based around healing and buffing teammates. The team support aspect has been translated into the ability to trigger fire balls into certain behaviors based on what music she plays.

-Red: It explodes immediately.
-Blue: Becomes a static flame mine that explodes after a short delay if an enemy gets too close.
-Green: Transforms into a spinning fireball that traps enemies in and slowly lifts them up.


-Dspecial does what was just said above. (If she already has a melody active and uses dspecial with an incomplete partition, she will activate fire balls again. But the buff duration does not reset).
The current buff can be overriden if a new one is played.

-Nspecial summons fire balls that fly around Glimmer, up to 3 attached to her. Pressing any attack button during the move, or when you have 3 of them, they will fire one by one with delay in the direction Glimmer is facing.
The fire balls will be detached from Glimmer one at a time if she gets hit while holding them.
You can also dispatch the fireballs following her when doing a strong attack.
Use those tools effectively to control your approach and set up your field.

-Uspecial basically prominence revolt from Smash Pyra's moveset. the recovery height gets affected by the melodies.

-Fspecial changes depending on the melody.
-> Default: Chargeable double hit, inspired from smash Mythra's neutral B.
-> Red: The same as the default version but stronger.
-> Blue: A forward leaping counter.
-> Green: A horizontal dash with some invincible frames.


Some things are subject to change. I have some ideas in mind but I will wait for feedback first.
I hope you will enjoy playing as her!
