He also is excellent at using guns, becoming proficient with them due to his love for western action movies)
Weaknesses: Likes to spend time with and dote on women | If Ange, Beatrice, or Battler dies, he will disappear
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Truths: Special moves utilized in debates between Witches and Humans taking place in the Meta-World, being statements denoted by specific colors which often manifest as conceptual weapons that directly target the enemy's very existence in an attempt to deny it, and are thus impossible to physically avoid, forcing opponents to counter the attacker's arguments with another truth. As the damage dealt by the Truths is conceptual, rather than strictly physical, they completely bypass conventional durability and allow the user to skewer and even kill opponents much more powerful than themselves
** Blue Truth: A theoretical scenario made with the purpose of directly denying the enemy's arguments and existence, whose true validity is unclear but nonetheless takes precedence over any statements spoken in basic white text, while being inferior to the Red Truth. It normally assumes the form of several stakes which skewer and impale opponents, damaging them on a conceptual level and being impossible to remove unless their falsehood is directly declared with the Red Truth; otherwise, that which is spoken in blue will be asserted as the truth and grant victory to the attacker, while erasing their opponent's concept entirely.
** Purple Truth: A new Truth introduced by Bernkastel for her game. This Truth has power comparable to the Red Truth in that all words spoken in this color are deemed automatically true without any evidence or proof to support it. However, unlike the Red Truth there is a special caveat in that the killer is capable of lying in it. Since Rudolf is deemed one of the killers of Bernkastel's game, he is capable of lying with the Purple Truth without any consequences. Because of the circumstances, this Truth is only available to Piece Rudolf.
