What characters are there in The Outliers? This game is adapted from a legitimate anime original work. The game has been continuously introducing various outlier characters, which are the selectable characters for players during gameplay. If you are not familiar with these characters, your efficiency in subsequent battles may be lower. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the skills of these characters, making it easier for you to choose your character.
1. Rong Shan
Rong Shan is one of Zhang Zhiwei's direct disciples. He has a straightforward and bold personality, and his punches are extremely powerful. He looks very large and is a very powerful character. His normal attack "Progressive Punch" uses the Tai Zu Long Fist to launch an offensive, capable of attacking up to four times consecutively. His basic throw "Double Dragon Claw" involves Rong Shan using a grappling technique to disrupt the opponent's center, then slamming them away. After successfully using the throw, his hands will be covered in a layer of golden light, entering a temporary "Golden Light Overcast" state. At this point, pressing the normal attack button while facing away from the opponent triggers the special normal attack "Golden Sea Dragon Capture," which pulls the enemy in front back to continue the attack. This move has a longer range than a typical normal attack and can be effectively utilized in combat.
His throws, counters, and skills can all obtain the golden light. His small skill "Sea Turning and River Crossing" involves jumping forward to strike the opponent, followed by several long punches, ending with a powerful hammer blow. The first hit of this move can hit a downed opponent, making it useful for follow-up attacks. Skill 1 "Piercing Clouds and Slapping the Table" starts with a palm strike as a probing attack, followed by three punches, and ends with a piercing blow that sends the opponent flying. Both of these skills can immediately use a forced cancel after the final hit to transition into a special attack, allowing for continuous combos. Ultimate skill "Heaven Lifting and Earth Holding" involves activating the Golden Light Curse, launching a cross punch forward. Upon hitting, it forms two giant arms that clap together, causing massive damage. This can be effectively used in combo sequences.
2. Zhuge Qing
Zhuge Qing is an outlier character that many players have found to have strong pulling abilities during testing. His close-range grabs and long-range pressure make him quite versatile in movement. His normal attack starts with a forward kick, followed by a two-hit hand chop and elbow strike, then a forward punch, and finally a push that sends the opponent flying. As long as you don't perform the fourth hit, you can usually maintain a stable combo. When Skill 1 is activated, he fires a fireball that travels across the entire screen. The fireball will explode upon contact with the edge of the stage or when it hits the opponent. There is a significant delay, so at close range, you need to actively cancel it. Because the explosion expands its range, it has a high hit rate near the edge of the stage.
After using Skill 2, he will cast a wind rope forward. If it hits the opponent, it will pull them to his side; if it misses, nothing happens. If it hits, it will lead into a combo. The first two hits of the wind rope are horizontal pushes, and the last hit sends the opponent flying. You can cancel the second hit to smoothly connect the moves, making it a well-compatible skill. The ultimate skill opens the Qimen (Mystic Gate). If the opponent is within the formation, it will be considered a hit, and after a full normal attack, you can immediately link to the ultimate move.
3. Feng BaoBao
Feng BaoBao has always been a highly popular character in both the original work and the game. Her normal attack 1A is a forward palm push, 2A is a quick forward slash, 3A is a reverse slash, 4A is a backward kick, and 5A is a forward flying kick that sends the opponent flying. It cannot be chained. For her throw, if the opponent defends during a normal attack, it will directly become a throw. Defense cannot block normal attacks, only skills. If the opponent is a ranged character, defending will also result in being thrown. When Skill 1 is released, it will involve two forward thrusts, followed by a return to the original position. After the thrusts, she will perform an upward slash, releasing a sword energy. If the timing of the second input is perfect, two sword energies will be released. Skill 1 has both displacement, ranged, and close-range suppression capabilities, making it very versatile and effective for both initiating and countering.
Skill 2 can be used directly or involves two forward slashes. If the slashes hit the opponent, they will only cause a stagger, allowing for a follow-up normal attack. It is also a multi-hit skill, with additional hits added through normal attacks, ending with an upward slash and a downward smash. After the downward smash, no further combos can be connected.
This article has introduced the above-mentioned outlier characters in The Outliers. The game features many classic outlier characters, each with unique abilities. They can also gain different combat effects through the "External Body" skill equipment. Each character's specific combat performance is very diverse.
