## **Assist Trophy Info**

Edgar is the King of Figaro and a master engineer having created many odd and usual tools which he has at his disposal. Edgar is also secretly a supporter of the Returners, a resistance group against the Gestahlian Empire as he pretends to be loyal to the empire. This comes to a head however when Terra breaks free of the empire’s control and is spotted fleeing towards Figaro with a Returner. It was then that Edgar revealed not only his true loyalty, but perhaps his greatest feat of engineering of all; a mechanical system that allows the entire castle of Figaro to submerge beneath the sands and emerge in another location entirely. Oh, and did we mention he has a twin brother who once suplexed a train?

## **Mode of Assistance**

When Edgar pops out of the Assist Trophy he’ll grab one of several of his Tools and wield them against the opposing fighters. Edgar will usually swap between 2 or 3 Tools before he disappears from the stage but on rare occasions he may stick to just one. Edgar’s Tools and how they are used are as follows:

* **Auto Crossbow** - Edgar will pull out an automatic crossbow and fire out a spray of crossbow bolts. Edgar can fire these either just in a straight line, or more commonly by swinging the crossbow around causing bolts to fly in a spread pattern either just in front of him or in all directions around him.
* **Noiseblaster** - Edgar will pull out a strange sonic device with a big horn on the end that fires out a wave of harsh sonic vibrations. Any opponent who gets hit by these waves will take a small amount of damage while also scrambling their left and right controls for a few seconds.
* **Bioblaster** - Edgar will pull out a large gun-like contraption which fires out a large cloud of noxious gas from it. This gas will slowly move across the stage as a thick cloud and cause all opposing fighters to take damage for every second they remain in the cloud.
* **Flash** - Edgar will pull out a large device fitted with a massive-looking lightbulb before turning on the light and flashing the entire screen with bright white light. This causes the entire screen (minus the hud of course) to go white making it very difficult for all fighters to know where they are and what they’re doing for a few seconds.
* **Drill** - Edgar will pull out a long drill and lunge forward with it towards fighters who thought to get a bit too close. This drill is unblockable by any means and will instantly break through a fighter’s defenses whether it's their natural shields or something like King K. Rool’s Gut Check special.
* **Chainsaw** - Edgar will pull out a circular saw and spin around where he’s standing. Like the Drill, the Chainsaw is very damaging and will break through an opponent’s defenses easily, though it won’t be instantaneous like the Drill is.
* **Debilitator** - Edgar will pull out a small device of seemingly minimal consequence. The device will end up firing a small red bolt towards all fighters within range and apply a random status effect. These can include being Grounded, having a Flower on their head, being Poisoned, Stunned, Mini’d, Frozen, or having their left and right controls briefly scrambled.
* **Air Anchor** - Edgar will pull out a large gun with an anchor sticking out of it and fires it towards a fighter. If the Air Anchor makes contact it will not only damage them, but cause burning chains to wrap around their body. These chains will cause damage to the fighter anytime the fighter uses an attack with the damage scaling with the damage of the attack that the fighter used. Luckily this doesn’t come with any knockback besides the initial hit.
