Kilik
Discipline: Secret Art of Ling-Sheng Su Style Rod
Weapon: Rod (Kali-Yuga)

Kilik was going to be the successor of the Kali-Yuga, one of the three sacred treasures of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple. However, the night before his succession ceremony an odd light appeared and fell upon the temple. Because of this light everyone who saw it was driven mad. The people went into a killing frenzy, including Kilik who killed a large portion of temple members. When the madness came to an end the second of the three sacred treasures, known as the Dvapara-Yuga, was in Kilik’s possession. The item was originally Xianglian’s, a woman who Kilik considered to be his older sister. When Kilik was free of the madness he found that he was in an old man’s house. The man told Kilik that a sword, known as the Soul Edge, was behind the atrocity. After that day Kilik studied diligently in the way of the Ling-Sheng Su style rod. When he was ready he left on a journey to destroy the evil blade. Along the way he met a woman named Xianghua and together they defeated Nightmare, the man who wielded the Sould Edge. After returning home to perfect the technique of neutralizing and purifying the evil energy he sensed the Soul Edge. Once again, Kilk set out to destroy the evil blade in hopes it would cleanse him of his sins.

Kilik’s weapon has the longest reach out of all the characters giving him the advantage of attacking from a large distance. Though Kilik’s weapon is meant for distance attacks Kilik is as good up close as he is far away. Kilik’s attacks are both powerful and fast causing a hefty amount of damage at a very fast pace. Kilik’s movements are so fast, at times, that it is hard to tell what kind of attack is coming next and, as a result, block. Kilik has a wide variety of attacks, most of which can be linked together with others to create a large combo. Due to the large quantity of attacks Kilik can be hard to master, but when the player masters him he can easily become the best character.

Kilik may have powerful attacks, but a lot of them end up leaving him open to attack. Some cause him to charge the attack before using it, which leaves him completely open, while others don’t have the best accuracy and could easily wind up missing while his defenses are down. If he is left open to attack a quick combo or a powerful hit will damage him greatly. Kilik is the hardest to master due to the large amount of combos and attacks he can use, so the player will need a lot of time and patience to truly master Kilik.

Kilik‘s Score: 9.25/10
