Invincible vs Developers Offer a Closer Look at Viltrumite Fighters

As expected, Quarter Up are back with another deep dive for the recently revealed new characters for Invincible VS – the Viltrumite duo of Anissa and Lucan.

They open up with the brief introduction of what Viltrumites even are, as they are a pretty distinct entity in the lore of the show and comics. A planet of extremely powerful warriors who are driven by conquest, domination, and ruling through might.

The game now features four very distinct characters native to Viltrum - Omni-Man, Thula, Anissa, and Lucan. Technically you could say Invincible himself is the fifth one as a half-Viltrumite.

Regarding their differences, with Anissa the developers wanted to accentuate her stoic nature. She's described as a mid-sized fighter with precise, blade-like attacks. She's extremely fast, scary, and constantly in your face. To achieve this, her move set has several key tools revolving around her agility. A snappy approaching strike that does a series of attacks, a short range blink that also strikes the opponent, and a hover stance that allows her to dodge attacks before responding with a counter.

Lucan is quite big by comparison, and devs even put extra effort into selling his unique shape with a little bit of belly jiggle physics, which is especially noticeable with his belly thrust attacks. Somewhat expectedly, he will be fulfilling a grappler role and will threaten you with command throws if you allow him to get close and initiate offense. In spite of that, he's capable of being quite mobile, going against the usual grappler archetype of being bulky but slow.
