Melty Blood: Type Lumina characters

Melty Blood: Type Lumina Character Roster

Melty Blood combines many ideas from its visual novel background with the fast action of fighting games. Although the first of these games would release in the early 2000s, its original story precedes it by a good number of years.

As it stands, Melty Blood: Type Lumina features characters from the original franchise and those from other meta-franchises, like Kagetsu Tohya and The Garden of Sinners. Yet there are still a wealth of new characters for this game entry, including some that must be unlocked in-game.

This latest entry in the franchise is also a soft reboot, taking place in a new continuity of the games and modernizing the whole series from the ground up from its characters, story, gameplay, and overall design.

Although the web of alliances, secrets, and mysteries that ties together all of these wonderful characters might seem daunting at first, but their stories are rich and engaging. However, we would be remiss if we failed to mention their gameplay. In that regard, Melty Blood: Type Lumina characters truly shine with their creative fighting styles and careful balance of visual novel campiness, religious mystery, and detective conspiracy. 

As an anime fighter, most Melty Blood: Type Lumina characters have ways to fight in and against air approaches, as well as extensions, jump-in attacks and combo starts, and a big emphasis on pressuring opponents into the corners of the screen. Along with their normals and special attacks, all Melty Blood: Type Lumina characters feature special Moon skills and Drive moves that add a layer of complexity to their kits.

That said, each character takes a unique approach to their fighting; thus, we highly recommend we explore their different profiles, see their attached guides from top players in the competitive scene, and figure out which one speaks to you the most.
