Galvan is the next character to make its way into the platform fighter, which is featured on the Evo Stage
Galvan is an ancient Ferosaur reborn after millennia to protect its fallen kin from Badger Co. In Rivals of Ether 2, it's a heavyweight set-play fighter, using drills as traps and powerful disjointed attacks. Landing hits energizes it, boosting moves: drills ricochet foes, Magnettos (a controllable magnet) returns for pressure, and normals become stronger.
Key tools include Drill Rush, a combo-capable burst attack; Chain Grab, a technique for chasing opponents; and UFO, a magnetic platform that extends combos. Its grab can magnetize enemies, pulling them in for powerful follow-ups. However, losing galvanization when hit balances its strength. Designed as an evolution of Kragg, Galvan combines raw power with strategic depth. The team refined its appearance, avoiding a villainous look, and created unique drill sounds. Hidden hints suggest possible future content. Galvan rewards skilled play, its complex arsenal and backstory (a primal creature adapting to a new environment) make it a distinctive and formidable character.
