Garnet (Saikin Fighters)

**Awakening Technique** | Made of Love

**Garnet** is one of the main characters from *Steven Universe* and is a playable character in *Saikin Fighters*.

## Attributes

Garnet plays the rushdown and powerhouse type of character. She has pretty fast speed and quick melee combinations.

She has a huge combo game that allows her to follow up attacks such as her Rush and Heavy attacks. She also has a counterattack in which it can trick opponents into attacking her. She can also rush down slow-but powerful powerhouses such as Jasper.

Although she is a good character to play as, she does have her flaws. She's a close-ranged fighter like Reaper who have a disadvantage against those with disjoint hitboxes like Shovel Knight or Finn The Human.

Gem Shocker is easily avoidable to characters who are faster than her and has high-ending lag leading her to be opened with hits. Rocket Gauntlets are also easily avoidable by blocking, however on the bright side, this leads for Garnet to guard break her foes into open combos.
