Playstyle
The Karateka leans on strength first and speed second, with a starting bonus of +1 strength and +1 speed. It hits hard and acts quickly, a good base for combo builds that chain several blows in one action.
Look and attack
A white gi, a black belt, a headband and bare feet. Its basic attack is a high kick; while it holds a weapon it throws a cross punch instead, so the weapon can swing. Clothing cosmetics dye the gi and the headband. Rival karateka use Japanese given names such as Daichi, Kenji or Haruto.
Good matches
- Thornkick: snap kicks, flying knees and clinch knees, the favoured school.
- Any skill that raises speed or combo chance, such as Quick Feet.
