Overview: Elma is a highly versatile character who can specialize in both close-range and far-range combat. Her swords are made for those who wish to be up close and personal while her guns are made for those who wish to keep their distance. Her guns, unlike Bayonetta’s, are not heavily disjointed hit-boxes, but projectiles about tenth the size of a Pikmin and about 2x the speed of Sonic. Both weapons have their advantages and disadvantages, with swords being more close and powerful but has less range and speed and guns being more far-range and fast while sacrificing killing power and mobility
Unique Mechanic: Full Metal Jaguar: In Xenoblade X, players can swap weapons by pressing X. In battle, if you crouch long enough, you’ll flash with a red light. Press X after this and you can swap between your swords and your guns.
