2XKO Shares More Detailed Look at Samira and Her Kit

Samira is still a little under two weeks away, but we already get a fairly detailed character spotlight that should give you a good idea of what the character does and what she's good at.

As was promised, she's a rather expressive character built around the unique style meter mechanic. Using varied attacks within your combos, taunting, and parrying will increase the style meter, which will in turn buff her specials, eventually providing extra damage upon reaching S rank.

To help her with the style options, she also has a unique mechanic of chaining different specials. The pistol specials on S1 can be chained up to 4 times if you reach A rank, or you can chain S1 into an S2 special.

While Samira doesn't seem like the most technical character (with ease of use sitting at 3 stars), she still seems to offer a very interesting layer of complexity in the form of her combo structure. 

We won't know for sure until the character is out, but it seems like there will be a lot of room for creativity and active decision making between going for extra style or extra damage, with opportunities to blend the two with her mixup and reset potential.

And of course, you can finally knock people out with the equivalent of Dudley's rose taunt, which earns Samira a lot of style points even outside the game.
