OVERVIEW

Greek Relic combines long ranged attacks and combo-friendly moves with a unique mode change mechanic. Mode Swap, its down special, swaps between Fire, Shield, Lightning, and Water. Fire focuses on high damage and knockback. Shield increases defense and survivability. Lightning utilizes a unique combo-enabling status effect. Water generally focuses on projectiles. Using these in the correct situations is vital to playing Greek Relic correctly.

Its normal attacks are generally quite long ranged, though also narrow; precision is needed to hit them (especially its aerials). This comes with the added drawback that they tend to be slow in frame data. Perhaps the best example of this is its Forward Strong: A gigantic, fully disjointed spear stab with a sweetspot on the tip, and also the slowest strong attack in the game. Proper use of the Relic's range can keep opponents out and force them to find new approach methods.

Despite these strengths, it is not limited to a playstyle of keeping the opponent out. Greek Relic also has many good combo tools, with attacks like Up Strong and Forward Air that can be combo-ed both into and out of.with proper use.

Greek Relic's main downsides are its mobility and defense. Its movement is very slow, on par with the slowest base game characters. Its defense multiplier is the worst in the game, and though it can be modified through shield mode or Protection, it is overall quite vulnerable to early kills.

 Greek Relic is a complex character with long range and a unique mode change, allowing for versatile and variable gameplay.

PROS   /   CONS
  • Range and Disjoint: A large majority of the Relic's attacks have long range with high disjoint, easily hitting the opponent from distances other characters can not with relative safety.
  • Versatility: The four different modes allow Greek Relic to access more moves than any other character, letting it adapt to many different situations and needs.
  • Combos: Many of the Relic's attacks lead into each other, with multiple options after attacks to keep opponents guessing.
  • Hitboxes: While Greek Relic's attacks have high range, their hitboxes also tend to be quite narrow. This means they must be used precisely to hit correctly.
  • Defense: Greek Relic has the worst defense in the game, and though Shield Mode can somewhat help with this, it's defense is still quite low.
  • Mobility: Greek Relic has generally below average mobility, being quite slow in most ways. This can make it difficult to get away from the opponent, and to avoid things such as projectiles.
  • Frame Data: In exchange for their range, Greek Relic's attacks are generally below average in speed, especially its strong attacks.
Unique Mechanic: Elements
Greek Relic can use Mode Swap to change between four different modes; Fire, Shield, Lightning, and Water. The current mode completely changes Neutral Special and Ultra, while giving new properties to Side Special. The orbs that surround Greek Relic change colors to show the current mode.

  - Charging does not increase knockback or damage, only delaying the attack.
  - Is a HITGRAB, meaning it does not go through shield.
  - Reaches max height on frame 16.

A high reaching anti-air hitgrab with poor horizontal reach, and an excellent combo tool. Combos into Up Tilt at low %'s, and Up Air at mid %'s. It can easily be comboed into from many different attacks, such as Up Tilt, Down Tilt, Up Air, and Down Air.

  - If the shield is hit by the opponent from 9~46F, Relic will become invincible for the rest of the attack.
       - On 31~34F, the shield fully covers Greek Relic.

A slow, gimmicky move. The invincibility can allow for situational but hard to use counterattacks. Also Greek Relic's strongest normal attack outside of sweetspot forward strong.

An interesting move that has optional upward velocity. When held, it can be followed by any of the Relic's aerials. The unheld version is mainly useful for hitting grounded opponents, as Greek Relic can then follow it up with Up Tilt or Up Strong.

An odd projectile that lasts a long time, taking up a large amount of space. It bounces upon hitting the ground, though it loses some speed each time. While it doesn't go far horizontally, it can be used in tandem with a jump to greatly increase its vertical coverage. It can also be used to edgeguard since it falls downward when created.

[All] ----------------------
  - Upwards velocity on hit on 24~34F if used in air.

Slow, long ranged command grab that changes based on the current element. It can be used in the air as well, and can cover a large area when combined with a fastfall.
[Fire] ---------------------
The strongest version in terms of damage and knockback. A good kill move, especially offstage
[Shield] -------------------
  - Heals self for 8% on hit.

The weakest version of the throw, but with an extra healing property.
[Lightning] ----------------
  - Stuns for 0.25 seconds on hit.
  - Gives the opponent the Thunderstorm effect.

Sets up the Thunderstorm status, with much higher damage than Lightning Spin. However, it also has much higher knockback, making followup pressure harder.
[Water] --------------------
Launches the opponent vertically, getting them airborn to allow for followups. Has very low knockback growth, making it consistent at most %'s.

[Normal] ----------------
  - Given by Lightning Spin and Elemental Whip (Lightning).
  - 6.0 second startup.
  - Stuns opponent for 1.0 second.
  - Effect disappears if Greek Relic is hit or blocks an attack.

A special effect given to the opponent. As long as Greek Relic avoids getting hit, the opponent gets struck with lightning. If the Relic can keep pressure and combos going while waiting for the strike, it can act as a reset to the combo. It leads into just about anything, but is not infallible. The opponent can still shield or dodge the lightning with proper timing.
[Ultra] --------------------
  - Given by Shock Charge.
  - 6.0 second startup.
  - Stuns opponent for 2.0 seconds.

A more powerful version of Thunderstorm that DOES NOT go away when Greek Relic is hit. It has a larger hitbox, making it slightly harder to avoid. It also does more damage, and has a twice the stun time. This can allow for much easier followups, even a fully charged strong attack or fully charged Fire Blast
