## **Character Info**

Noah was originally a soldier and off-seer for the Kevesi army, but after a chance encounter with a unit from Agnus, a Moebius, and Guernica Vandham, everything changed. Noah, Lanz, and Eunie from Keves as well as Mio, Sena, and Taion from Agnus joined forces to become Ouroboros in a mission to free their Keves and Agnus allies from their Flame Clocks and defeat the Moebius threat so that they can end the Endless Now and return the world(s) to the way they are supposed to be.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

The circular flames of a Flame Clock will be seen on the stage. Suddenly a sword will swing through the “Flame Clock” and disperse the flames to reveal Noah behind them.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will have Noah’s hair plopped on top of his head along with a miniature version of Noah’s blade placed on his back.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Noah retrieves his flute and performs a short version of his Kevesi Off-Seer composition. If you hold down the taunt input, then Noah will play this tune endlessly until he is either attacked or the input is let go.

**Down Taunt:** Noah will get down and do a couple quick pushups with Riku sitting on his back.

**Side Taunt:** Noah will unsheathe Lucky Seven and point it forwards like at the start of his Ouroboros Order before putting Lucky Seven away.

### **Victory Poses**

1. The camera will dynamically pan around Noah as he plays the opening notes of the off-seer tune, “A Life Sent On” for the fighters he defeated on the battlefield. Noah will continue to play as the flute fades out and the music transitions into Noah’s victory theme.
2. Noah will be in his Ouroboros form falling to the ground. As he lands he’ll cancel out the interlink he has with Mio as the two separate and land next to each other. Following this Noah and Mio will high five.
3. Noah slashes forward once with the Veiled Sword, then again with Lucky Seven before it freeze-frames. He shouts, "I live to fight, and fight to live!"

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Ground Beat:** Noah slashes the Veiled Sword downward, its ether pulsing forward in the form of a fast-moving blue beam. The initial strike down has a tiny bit of start-up lag, during which time Noah bears super armor, before he crashes it down. It's a good combo and keepaway move, wherein if someone were to block or dodge the melee portion of this attack, chances are the beam would still hit them. The beam travels about as far as half of Battlefield and can be charged, though this only affects how far it travels and not how much damage it will deal. However, Noah will strike the blade down faster, so the melee portion of the attack will deal stronger damage and knockback to those hit by it.

### **Side Special**

**Overfall:** A swarm of Taion’s Mondos will spiral around Noah’s waist as he holds out his arm and sends the paper-like Mondos flying forwards. The Mondos will fly together in a straight line with multiple hit boxes along it which allows it to hit enemies more than one time. The Mondos can also have their flight pattern adjusted slightly, similarly to Pit’s arrows, by tilting the control stick up and down. That said, the Mondo are a bit slower than Pit’s arrows which makes them easier to control.

### **Up Special**

**Giant Swing:** Noah will take out Sena’s Comet Mallet and use it to propel himself straight up into the air. Up until Noah has reached the height of his jump, players can press the special button again to have Noah swing Sena’s hammer around himself horizontally. Noah can only swing his hammer around once and he will begin to fall back down to the stage once the attack is concluded.

### **Down Special**

**Arts Combo:** Arts Combo is a move that changes based on furthering a combo to inflict statuses on an opponent. It involves using the arts Sword Strike, Bull Rush and Myopic Screen to inflict Break, Topple and Daze status, respectively. Any status inflicted on an opponent will have a short timer window, during which the next stage of the combo can be applied; the combo is reset if a status times out or if the opponent is KO’d.

Upon first using the move, Noah uses Sword Strike to inflict Break status on an opponent. He will always perform this art when facing an opponent without any status inflicted on them, or by default when no opponents are within range.

Upon using the move again when an opponent with Break status is in range, the move automatically changes to Bull Rush (with Noah instantly summoning the Heavy Guard’s Shieldblade) which then inflicts Topple status. This causes the opponent to trip; they can get up and keep moving, but the Topple status is still present for a while.

Finally, using the special near an opponent with Topple status changes the move to Myopic screen (where Noah summons the Medic Gunner’s Gunrod) to inflict the Daze status. This move has slightly more wind-up but if successful puts the opponent into a daze as if they’d just broken their shield. Daze status is removed once the opponent returns to normal, either by taking damage or waiting until the effect wears off.

### **Final Smash**

**Limits Unbound:** Noah’s iris will erupt in Ouroboros flames as he draws Lucky Seven and makes a mad dash forwards. The first opponent that Noah runs into will be hit by an uppercutting slash which sends them flying off into a cinematic final smash. This cutscene will show the trapped fighter in the middle of a war-torn battlefield as Noah’s Ouroboros form towers over them. Noah will spin around himself as he materializes two massive blades in both of his hands before dashing at the opponent and swinging the blades at them a couple of times. Noah will then turn around briefly before swinging both blades at the opponent in a single movement before canceling out of his Ouroboros form. Noah will swing upwards at the opponent with his Veiled Sword before Mio follows up with a jump and a cartwheel kick before leaping back. After this, Noah and Mio will interlink once again, but this time into Mio’s Ouroboros form. Now that Mio is in charge she will dash and skate around the fighter while slashing at them with her chakrams a couple times before leaping into the air and throwing her chakrams down at the fighter which creates an explosion of light around them which sends the opponent flying away.

If Noah’s opponent was at 100% damage or more at the end of this Final Smash then they will be instantly KO’d. If this occurs, then at the end of the cinematic cutscene the text “Conquered” with appropriate kanji will appear over the screen just like when defeating a Unique Monster in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

### **Extra Skill**

**Unlimited Sword:** Noah’s extra skill allows him to activate Lucky Seven, a powerful sword hidden inside his regular blade. During battle, every successful attack Noah lands slightly fills a Talent Art gauge located next to his damage percent. Once filled, Noah use his extra skill to draw Lucky Seven out of his Veiled Sword. While using Lucky Seven, Noah gains a slight boost to his damage, as well as the ability to break shields in a single hit. The Talent art lasts about 20 seconds, so make the most of it and “tear it all down!”

Additionally, when Lucky Seven has been unsheathed his Standard Special “Ground Beat” will upgrade into “Tachyon Slash”. Tachyon Slash is very similar to Ground Beat with Noah swinging Lucky Seven downwards to send out an ether-based projectile forwards. Tachyon Slash deals more damage and knockback than Ground Beat does with both the initial sword slash and the projectile that comes out of it. Additionally, Tachyon Slash’s projectile is invisible making it considerably more difficult to track. Perhaps thankfully the projectile moves at the same speed it does for Ground Beat so if a player knows the right timing they can still avoid the projectile.
