Salaryman Character Showcase
The headline feature of Update 1.73 is the addition of Salaryman to the public roster. This character wields a blunt sword wrapped in cloth and utilizes a precise, heavy-hitting fighting style.
Base Abilities
Salaryman controls the battlefield with a mix of dashing attacks and counters.
- Overtime: A rapid dashing punch attack that closes distance quickly.
