Architect (Shadow Fight)

	“	All this fantasy narrative of yours has exhausted me... Now we're going to play by my rules. And it's in your interest to surprise me, Shadow. [...] That was to be expected. I know all of your moves, Shadow. After all, I was the one who invented you. Perhaps I was off my game at the time... But now you'll like your new life.	„
		~ Architect towards Shadow

Summary

Architect is the mischievous science fiction writer and author responsible for the creation known as Shadow Fight 2. During a Halloween festivity, he invaded the world of Shadow Fight 2 to assure the heroes Shadow and Sensei that he's their maker, and that all the adventures they've experienced so far are nothing more than a figment of his spoiled mind. He threatens his invented characters with the total rewriting of their world under the excuse that said characters have grown stale in the eyes of the people of the newer generations. However, in actuality it is stated that he is just bored and for this reason his creation is threatened with unpredictable problems.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Perks Enchantments Magic Special Abilities Fight Rules Name Description Head Hit Landing a strike on the enemy's head triggers a Head Hit, making it deal 60% more damage. Critical Hit Any unblocked attack has a chance to be a Critical Hit, which deals 50% more damage and makes the enemy fall to the ground. Shock Dealing a hit to the enemy has a slight chance of resulting in a Shock, which will disarm the enemy and make them fall to the ground, forcing them to fight barehanded afterward for the rest of the round. Block By standing still and not moving, Architect can enter defensive stances to block incoming hits from the enemy, significantly reducing the damage received. Name Description Example Plot Twist Upon hitting the enemy with his Smoke and Mirrors Magic, Architect will copy that enemy's Magic for himself, as indicated by a sudden camera blitz briefly covering the entire screen and a shutter sound being heard. Immediately after this Architect's Magic fully recharges, allowing him to use the enemy's own Magic against them once, which deals significantly increased damage. If Architect doesn't use the copied Magic within 5 seconds after mimicking it, then the Magic in question won't deal any increased damage. If the enemy doesn't have any Magic equipped, then the Enchantment can still work in the same pattern, but it will only use Architect's own Magic instead. Additionally, the copied Magic cannot activate Plot Twist on its own, and so Architect has to use it and recharge his own Magic again before being able to mimic the enemy's Magic again. Name Description Example Smoke and Mirrors Architect raises his arm and forms a fire ball in his hand, before slaming it into the ground and sending a chain of fire pillars on the ground towards the enemy, damaging them upon impact. Additionally, this Magic bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Name Description Example Cyan Blink Architect disappears in a cyan glow coming from Volcano's Lord of the Flame's Swords or hands (when wielding Vortex's Silver Glaive) with a damaging slash and reappears behind the enemy with a second damaging slash. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Crystal Pillar Architect raises his arm and forms a crystal ball in his hand, before slaming it into the ground and sending a chain of crystal pillars on the ground towards the enemy, damaging them upon impact. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Seismic Stomp Architect jumps and then stomps the ground, causing an earthquake that knocks down and damages the enemy if they have their feet on the ground. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Smoke Bomb Architect becomes invisible after throwing a smoke bomb to the ground and stays the same until the enemy damages him heavily, the enemy deals a Critical Hit, or the round ends. Architect does not use his Ranged Weapon while being invisible. Rat Wave Architect summons a swarm of rats from the ground, before commanding them to rush towards the enemy in a wave on the ground that deals damage upon impact. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Soul Flay Architect extends the two tentacles from his back towards the enemy, piercing through them upon impact and dealing damage. Upon retracting his tentacles from the enemy's body, Architect will rip the enemy's soul out of their body, causing their soulless body to collapse to the ground while their soul will powerlessly stand still for a few seconds before returning to its body, retaking control of it. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Hunger Claws Architect leaps towards the enemy, before smashing the ground with Karcer's Hunger Sickles and causing bone-like spikes to emerge from below, damaging the enemy upon impact. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. War Wind Architect forms a red whirlwind around himself for 5 seconds, before quickly charging towards the enemy while spinning Drakaina's War Shuang Gou horizontally around himself, damaging the enemy upon impact. Architect also becomes invulnerable to melee attacks while the tornado is active. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Fear Beam Architect charges for a moment, before unleashing a devastating white-purple beam of nothingness from his body, dealing damage and sending the enemy flying from the impact. Additionally, this Special Ability bypasses the enemy's Block Perk. Name Description Random Weapon Upon entering the fight against Architect, the enemy is stripped of their equipped Weapon and are forced to fight using a different, random Weapon given to them instead.
