## Powers and Abilities

Clown is built as part of the Demon King's Four Dark Stars; a group of machines designed to be more advanced than the Demon King's Four Shining Stars.

**Nightmare** (ナイトメア *Naitomea*): As the Death of Edens, Clown can summon a dark virus to evaporate any life such as water, and uses it to ensnare his target and send them to a mindscape realm. In this realm, Clown keeps his target trapped and forces them to experience an unpleasant ongoing torture, that is capable to give the average person trauma-level mental damage even if they're aware everything happening is not real.

* **Environment Manipulation**: During his battle against Rebecca within Killer's subdimension program, Clown is able to manipulate the circus environment they are in. He usually snaps his fingers to do so, such as making the tightrope snap apart, activate the stage lights, and making rings of fire from the ground or from his hands. He is even capable of making electricity run through the stage.

**Machine Physiology**: As a machine, Clown should be able to survive in the vacuum of space unprotected with no negative effects like his fellow machine, Wizard.

* **Ether Bullets**: Clown can fire a spray of Ether bullets from a gun built into his right arm.

**Battle Dress** (バトルドレス *Batoru Doresu*): As one of the counterparts to the Four Shining Stars, Clown possesses the ability to requip into a different form of battle suit.

* **Nightmare Clown** (ナイトメアクラウン *Naitomea Kuraun*): Clown's Battle Dress gives him the appearance of a menacing, dark-skinned clown.

**Master Acrobatic**: Clown has shown to be able to perform acrobatic feats from high above the ground, such as dancing on a tightrope perfectly fine, and landing safely on the ground.

**Expert Juggling**: Fitting with his circus motif, Clown has shown impressive juggling skills, tossing several swords in a circle at once and even being capable of throwing them and grabbing more at his target at the same time.

**Anti-EMP Coating**: Clown, like all members of the Four Dark Stars, is equipped with a defensive coating that protects him from an Electromagnetic Pulse.

**Overclock**: A power up ability, the Dark Stars need permission in order to use it.
