LEADER SKILL
OVERVIEW
Overview
Leader skill: Red Fighters (Atk +30%, HP +15%, Crit Rate +6%)
Not really that great, if you ask me. Atk tradeaway is a bit meh. Stats are a bit weird, high HP value, literally average Atk value and low-average DEF values. Not really great on offense, but works with his passives. Strange delay after third hit. Besides that, generic normal attack string.
Core
Omega Rugal have really weird cores. Omega Rugal has a 5% reduction from Burn/Poison/Bleeding, reduced stun duration by 40%, penetration/attack/HP values increase and Power Gauge Gain by 30%. This is generally all around great cores… After revamps, Omega Rugal has become AMAZING. First revamp is that his core restores HP on EVERY SKILL.
This means that if he does his standard combo, he heals 12% of his max HP. 12%. This is enough to warrant and offset some burn/shock damage during Gravity Smash poking. Second part is that his HP heal has been moved to 40% HP threshold. At 40% HP, he heals 20% of his HP and gets 5 seconds of super armor. Obvious to say, but even the 40% movement of the activation mark is a HUGE buff to him as it improves his lethality in PvP.
Skills
Dear god they went off during the revamp. Dark Genocide is one of the worst-off skills in the game alongside Genocide Cutter. However, with its CD reset on hit effect, it becomes a very solid skill to use after Gravity Smash and God Press, as it has gotten a solid damage boost also. God Press is his signature skill.
With a short 8.5 seconds cooldown, this skill ends up being BUSTED. He gets a 26% Attack boost (which stacks because of how attack boosts work) and attack power reduction alongside HP heal, this skill becomes one of the best PvP skills in the entire game. The only problem is that it doesn’t effect much people with super armor, but it’s literally fair game for anyone else.
Gravity Smash has become the worst projectile skill in the game to the best for one reason: Damage immunity + super armor for 3 seconds. It makes him basically immune to anything besides crowd control and also gives him a projectile that stuns enemies for 1.9 seconds. If anything can be said about buffs to O. Rugal, this one is the biggest out of his.
Rugal’s Striker skill gives a HP regeneration effect total by 12% HP and a 11.6% attack buff for 10 seconds. This makes him one of the few HP recovery and attack buff hybrid characters, which makes him solid. 94 Rugal or 98 Heidern decreases his skill CD by 0.5 seconds. So it ends with him being able to access -6.5 seconds of cooldown. Not too bad.
Conclusion
Rugal has become amazing thanks to his rework, as he has become one of the best PvP characters by far from the Generation 1 upgrades. He basically lives up to his Rugal name with God Press and Gravity Smash being absolutely monster skills to go up against. He’s more defensive then Geese, but he by far performs at least on par with him.
