    New Vikings hero idea - Northman

    Northman
    Hybrid (Vanguard + Assasin), variable mix-ups


    Look:
    Smaller then Raider, more muscular then Berserker, bearded guy with 2-handed axe (semilong like Rollo´s axe from Viking series). Leather armour, maybe chainmail body armor, maybe some pelts.

    Pretty nice pic of him (but younger ):


    Great example of playstyle look here:

    HP +- 125.
    Light damage - average 15
    Heavy damage – average 32

    Something about moves:

    Light attacks - Northman use only one hand and use axe weight and torque (like in video). Cant switch from right light to left light attack (or from left light to right light) cause inertia. Combo have to be like left+top or right+top or top+some side cause spining of axe. Call this „nonopposite“.

    Heavy attacks - Northman use both hands for better manipulation and strength. The same „nonopposite“ think is in heavies (after left light u cant do right heavy cause rotation axe). All directions can be fainted to haft attack (like lawbringers shove). His heavy attack is much faster after each light. That means if u do light + light + heavy, ur heavy have speed almoust like light. In chain, if heavy is 3dr atttack, its unblocable.

    Haft attack - Stamina damage attack which counts as 1st light so u can reset ur combo and change direction of next attack as long as u have stamina. Each heavy can be softfaintet to haft attack or can be use like dash attack.

    Hook – Northman try to reach over enemy, hack enemys body with axe like hook and drag enemy to the ground under Northmans feet. Have some low damage + stamina damage. Can be used in combo insted of heavy or use independently. After wallsplat is hook guaranteed. Functionally its like Highlander´s grab.

    Ground finisher – some kind of Centurions ground finisher.


    He can have no exactly move sets, he just have to follow the rules od „nonopposite“ attack and can use every move he have in any order.

    Example of usage combo:
    Light + Light (nonopposite) + Light (nonopposite)
    Light + Light (nonopposite)+ Heavy (nonopposite unblocable)
    Light + Heavy (nonopposite)+ Light
    Haft + Light + Heavy (nonopposite unblocable)
    Haft + Light + Haft + Hook + Ground finisher
    Light + Light + Hook + Ground finisher
