Kiran

Kiran is the nineteenth character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.

## Character Description

Kiran is the official summoner for the Order of Heroes. Being brought to Askr from the modern world, Kiran wields the mythical weapon Breidablik to summon heroes from all across the *Fire Emblem* worlds, commanding them in battle against the forces which conspire against Askr. Kiran is seen as reliable and inspirational to the many heroes brought to Askr, as they not only act as a tactician but also a friend to many and all.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Kiran and the Order of Heroes were called to investigate an issue with a summoning gate flashing various colors and sucking in surrounding scenery. While taking a look at the gate, Kiran wound up being sucked into the mysterious portal and was dropped into the Abandoned House. While surveying the scene, they heard Strong Bad's cry for help and rushed to his aid. Kiran summoned Reinhardt, who blasted one of The Thwomps with a cast of his Dire Thunder. After summoning Gray to finish off The Thwomps, Strong Bad and John Egbert were enamored with their ability to summon heroes with Breidablik. After hearing Alfonse call their name, Kiran rushed to reunite with the Order, but not before waving goodbye to their new acquaintances.

Kiran and the Order would set camp in the woods as Kiran told them the story of what happened. Unbeknownst to them, Qrow Branwen was surveying them after witnessing the way they fought The Thwomps. After getting in contact with Ozpin and the Beatdown staff, Qrow would eventually bring Kiran and the Order to Beatdown, where they were eventually recruited as a fighter.

Shown in BeatdownBound, Kiran would take part in Beatdown and spent time training at the Colosseum, where they had an "engaging" conversation with Frisk. They would also summon heroes to train with the other fighters and even train their own abilities.

Kiran would not only attend the premiere of *Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time!*, but thanks to Anna opening movie theater concessions in the mansion, Kiran summoned a few heroes (Owain and Hinata) to act as employees.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Kiran's role as the summoner for the Order of Heroes has them summon and lead heroes from other worlds into battle. As such, they do not fight directly on their own, but they make use of summoned heroes throughout their moveset- with good disjoints to keep opponents at bay or the ability to cover the stage. If the opponent finds a hole in their defenses, Kiran can very easily be taken care of. Their Neutral Special becomes their most used tool to bring heroes of different weapon varieties and skills across the stage, letting Kiran use the most of their standards to bring the Order to victory.
