Summary
Ky Kiske (カイ＝キスク, Kai Kisuku) is a playable character in the Guilty Gear franchise. As one of the two leading characters (the other being his rival Sol Badguy), he is one of the most well-known characters and has been an integral part of the series since the first Guilty Gear. He is one of the Three High Kings of Illyria and a former commander of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, as well as a man with a powerful sense of justice and devotion to God. He once had the goal of eradicating all Gears, as he believed them to be evil after fighting against them in the Crusades, but after meeting and eventually marrying the commander Gear Dizzy, he changed his stance, instead fighting for the future of all people, humans or Gears. He has a son, named Sin Kiske.

Attack Potency: Large Planet level (Was stated by Leo to be stronger than him. Clashed with Sol numerous times in the past and easily defeated him when serious, Sol also said that he would need all of his power to properly fight him), higher with Dragon Install (Possesses some of the "blood of Juno", allowing him to use this form). Able to ignore conventional durability by sacrificing his Thunderseal.
Speed: At least Relativistic+, likely higher (Speedblitzed Sol. Dodged blasts from Merged I-No)
Lifting Strength: At least Class P (Can match Justice. Superior to Anji Mito)
Striking Strength: Large Planet level, higher with Dragon Install
Durability: Large Planet level (Can fight against Sol), higher with Dragon Install (Held his own against Merged I-No), much higher with Absolute Defense: Felion (The spell projects a forcefield that has only been broken by several extremely skilled magic users such as Sol and Asuka working in concert)
Stamina: Extremely high (Able to hold off an army of Gears by himself for a while before going down), although Dragon Install tires him out when it ends
Range: Extended melee range normally, thousands of kilometers with attacks.
- Thunderseal: The sword Ky currently owns. One of the Eight Sacred Treasures, weapons designed by Sol Badguy as part of Outrage, the ultimate anti-Gear weapon. It acts as a conduit for thunder magic, allowing the user to charge up energy inside the blade for release at an opportune time. By breaking it, the user can generate a localized temporal stasis field, stopping time in a short range for everyone except the user. This field can only be dismantled from the outside by powerful magic users.
- Aquila: A modified ceremonial sword Ky used in GG2 after breaking Thunderseal to freeze Dizzy in time. It seems to have capabilities similar to those of Thunderseal, although less powerful.
- Magnolia Éclair: A custom-made Illyrian sword Ky used in Xrd, replacing Aquila. It seems to have capabilities similar to those of Thunderseal, although less powerful.
Intelligence: One of the most powerful magicians the world over, renowned for his mastery of lightning magic, the most difficult type to learn. Extremely skilled swordsman and tactician, considered a prodigy at only age 15 and growing since that time. Very effective leader, standing at a 92% approval rating among the citizens of Illyria.
Weaknesses: He can be tricked due to his great honesty, kindness, and sense of justice. He also refuses to fight disarmed people and children. Dragon Install's activation seems to be conditional on stress, and the transformation lasts for a limited time and then vanishes, leaving him worn out and in pain afterwards.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Stun Edge: Ky fires a burst of lightning that can be charged to increase its size. It can also be formed aiborne as a diagonal projectile.
- Vapor Thrust: Ky performs an upward slash that sends him and his opponent into the air.
- Lightning Javelin: A special move can be used immediately after the rising slash of Vapor Thrust, Ky fires a lightning bolt that repeatedly strikes his opponent.
