Male NoviceFemale Novice


Clumsy early on and Deadly at high level. Novice is dangerous both to their adversaries and themselves. Novice has weak basic attacks, weak defense and long delays which often times leave themselves wide open. Their best moves are unlocked as they grow and most of them cost HP - a resource that is not abundant for them, especially when they're still low level. It's a high risk, high reward gameplay. But perhaps their strongest appeal is that they can be entertaining to watch, even when they fail to do something.

Gender Differences[]

Male Novice appears overconfident and reckless with everything he does, but his performance is often lackluster. On the other hand, Female Novice has a meek personality, but extremely powerful when she unleashes her aura attacks. True to their personality, Male Novice is best played recklessly while making sure he survives. While Female Novice is best played explosively when the moment is right, and conservatively when it isn't.

They're like the cliché anime siblings where the older brother has a bright personality and boastful while the little sister is normally meek but much more powerful when angered.

Other than the normal differences such as Males have higher HP and Females have higher SP, as well as moveset, the most notable uniqueness are:

  • Male Novice only has 1 move that requires SP, Aura Blast. Which means he only needs to worry about surviving. Most of his moves will put him in danger as he attacks, and then leave him wide open afterward. You will need to be extra careful with him. But he can still be deadly and can go on indefinitely even with 1 HP, as long as the player does not get him killed.
  • Female Novice strong moves often requires SP. So even if those moves can be used when she is at 1 HP, she won't be able to use them if she doesn't have enough SP. She is extremely powerful but be sure to monitor her SP so she can use her Aura attacks when they count. The other way to play her is depleting her SP for powerful attacks, then just sit after clearing an area to recover her SP (as well as HP if needed).
  • In theory, Male Novice is potentially stronger until level 3 (depends on how good you are), as Female Novice is still unable to unlock any of her Aura attacks - unless she goes for Flying Hip Press at level 1, which can make her niche stronger even at level 1 (if you can control it) but delay her progress with her Aura attacks until at least level 6
  • With 10 AGI, Female Novice runs while Male Novice hops around.
  • Female Novice is a lot easier to play and master.
  • Female Novice easily deals drastically stronger damage on land, be it single or multiple targets, while Male Novice has much lower damage potential on land, is very clumsy at it and will have to struggle to even get things done half the speed of Female Novice.
  • Female Novice's normal (Air) A attack does pretty much the same thing with Male's Jump Kick (↓↘→ A (Air)). But with no requirement and deal a little lower damage (50 base physical damage for female, and 200 base physical damage for male), making it much easier to perform, especially when you want to move forward and/or dodge an attack.
  • Male Novice basic (Air) B attack has a hidden feature. It CAN deal base 1500 Attack Power at the very last frame of the dagger, BUT ONLY IF the blade does not come into contact with anything until the very end of the swing. To pull this off, the Male Novice must face away from the intended target then swing/or he can face toward the target, but maintain a perfect distance, hoping the blade will not come into contact with anything until the very end. If you manage to do it, it can be your main source of damage on airborne, or just a target tall enough to get hit by it. However, failing to do so will deal a clumsy base 200 Attack Power instead. This is probably the only saving grace for Male Novice, so its almost essential to master the trick. It's might not be easy and not very consistent at first (or at all, depends on how good you are), but you don't really have a choice. And even then, this does not make him any stronger than the female counterpart, as she also has other moves that are more powerful.
  • Female Novice has a Skirt of levitation. enhancing her jump as well as slowing down her descent in the air.
