NEW character: Penny[ | ]
Honorary Star Scout Penny Fox is on a personal quest to rid the galaxy of all evil. In pursuit of these lofty goals, she has traveled all over the worlds to collect weird aliens and put them in jars for her private collection. During her latest travels her scooter broke down in the Raki system, forcing her to scour for spare parts on the nearby starstorm station. It is there that she found a mysterious robotic claw, which would lead her to the adventure of a lifetime!
Her skills are as follows:
Pounce[ | ]
Consume all charges to charge forward, knocking back enemies you come in contact with. Each charge increases range and damage.
Swipe[ | ]
Consume up to 4 charges to shoot a piercing swipe that amplifies damage. Each charge increases the damage.
Strike[ | ]
Penny strikes with her claw awarding a charge when hitting an enemy. Max 4 charges.
Leap[ | ]
Being super agile, Penny can leap up and perform a double jump.
