Orcane (Fraymakers)

Orcane is a playable character in Fraymakers. He was unveiled alongside the game's Kickstarter campaign and was first made available at the launch of its Early Access release.
Hailing from the platform fighting game Rivals of Aether, Orcane's moveset derives mainly from his appearance in that game. He features a tricky playstyle using a variety of synergistic water-based attacks that also provide strong stage control. These attacks primarily revolve around creating a puddle on-stage to be used in a variety of ways, such as through Water Amp, which amplifies the strength and range of his strong attacks, and by activating Puddle Teleportation and Bubble Evaporation. He also uses several bubble-based attacks to trap opponents in a continuous stream of damage.

== Assist functionality ==
When summoned as an Assist, Orcane fires a stream of bubbles forward while propelling a large distance backward, similarly to his forward aerial. Unlike with its forward aerial counterpart, Orcane's body deals 16 damage and stronger knockback. The bubbles can be used for extending combos or escaping pressure, whereas Orcane's body can be used as a reliable KO move.
It takes 50 damage to fully charge Orcane.
