Silas Kranos/Gameplay

## Playstyle Description

**Silas Kranos** has the most attacks of any characters in the game. In the boss fight against him in his home game, he can switch effortlessly between Lefty and Rightey, his laser swords, his Shock Spear, and his Scorch Hammer. In *Toshiko X LegendGames Superstar Smackdown*, that has been carried over. By using his Green Button moves, Silas can actually change the moveset of his Yellow Button. Each of his three weapons has its own Yellow Button moveset.

Wielding Lefty and Rightey causes Silas to run and attack at average speed. Wielding the Shock Spear causes Silas to run and attack at much faster speeds. Of course, wielding the Scorch Hammer causes Silas to run and attack at much slower speeds.

## Basic Moveset

### Red Button

* **Shockbot March**:  (*Silas summons a group of Shockbots that move autonomously across the ground, electrocuting and stunning any opponent they encounter. They disappear after touching one enemy. If used in mid-air, the Shockbots don't activate until they hit the ground.*)
* **Electro Dash**:  or  +  (*Silas dashes quickly across the ground, leaving a trail of electricity behind him on the ground.*)
* **Rising Kranos**:  +  (*Kranos rises up on a group of Shockbots. This move does no damage, but is good for recovery.*)
* **Stun Blast**:  +  (*Silas fires a small ball of plasma energy, stunning any opponent it hits. This attack doesn't have much range; it's best used at mid-range. This is a fantastic attack for opening up combos.*)

### Yellow Button (Lefty and Rightey)

* **Swords Slash**:  (*Silas slashes with Lefty and Rightey. He can do this three times for a three hit combo.*)
* **Flip Slam**:  or  +  (*Silas does a leaping front-flip, leaping forward and slamming his blades on the ground.*)

### Yellow Button (Scorch Hammer)

* **Hammer Throw**:  (*Silas throws his Scorch Hammer forward. A target appears on the ground in front of him; holding the button will allow Kranos to move the target across the ground. Releasing it will cause Kranos to throw the hammer at the target.*)
* **Hammer Tornado**:  or  +  (*Silas performs a devastating spin attack with his Scorch Hammer. Mashing the button will cause Silas to spin longer, but spinning for too long with make Kranos dizzy.*)
* **Hammer Arc**:  +  (*Kranos throws his Scorch Hammer in a high arc. This attack isn't too effective as an anti-air attack, but it is good at hitting opponents a few character lengths away.*)
* **Hammer Smash**:  +  (*Kranos smashes his hammer on the ground in front of him, creating a small fiery shockwave that travels along the ground for three character lengths.*)

### Green Button

* **Spear Change**:  +  (*Silas wields the Shock Spear and thrusts it forward three times in quick succession.*)
