The final DLC character for Smash Ultimate seems to be just over the horizon, and many fans are expecting a big, bombastic reveal as a truly special capstone to live up to the ultimate Smash game's title. However, there's another possibility. Most Smash reveal cycles have often ended not with a dramatic finish, but a moment of denouement, finishing off with something more niche or low-key, often a first-party character from then-recent game, as one of the last characters revealed. This is the sort of scenario Delzethin's latest video looks at, presenting a moveset concept for Euden, the protagonist of Dragalia Lost.
For those not in the know, Dragalia Lost is a mobile action-RPG with gacha elements produced as a collaboration between Nintendo and CyGames. This places Euden in something of an odd position: unlike other recent Nintendo IPs like Astral Chain or Ring Fit Adventure, there hasn't been any sort of spirit event for Dragalia Lost. On the flip side, Dragalia Lost is also the only currently-active Nintendo IP that has yet to actually appear on their hardware, which means that if Euden were to appear in Smash as the final DLC character, it would likely be his debut appearance on a Nintendo console.
This time around, Delzethin has put together his most complex moveset concept yet, consisting of two full movesets: one for Euden himself, and a second one for when he takes the form of the dragon Midgardsormr. In his human form, Euden would be a fairly standard, though slightly aggressive swordie, using strong disjoints to control space at mid and close range. When taking the form of Midgardsormr, Euden would effectively play like a boss character for the next 10-20 seconds, taking on a larger frame and improved movement stats, gaining innate armor, and significantly improved kill power.
Of course, this is only one of many possibilities, not just for who could be the final DLC character, but how Euden could play in Smash. We still have yet to find out when the final character will even be revealed, let alone who it will be and how they'll play.
Author's Note: How do you feel about Euden's chances for Smash? How do you think he would play if he did make it in?
