Good day, soldiers! Major update 0.3.0 is currently launching and can now already be downloaded! Note that this update is mandatory for online play.

"I am a warrior, born to protect humans. I am a proud warrior of Neo Arcadia! I don't need any help! Even if my body should fall into ruin... I will still gladly fight for humanity!"

Sage Harpuia is a close-ranged swordfighter battling using his twin swords, the Sonic Blades. While Harpuia is quite frail at 12 health points, he more than makes up for it with unparalelled mobility thanks to his ability to airdash by pressing the dash button midair. While his kit is somewhat similar to Zero's, it comes with notable differences: for example, his triple slash combination attack releases a short-ranged projectile that flinches, and he can follow-up a jumping slash with another by pressing attack again.

Sage Harpuia is all about mobility. Soar the skies with his airdash to take new paths that Zero cannot take, or to run away from dangerous opponents. Use your jumping slashes to rack up damage midair, and make use of your triple slash to play a mid-ranged game. But do not be reckless and keep an eye out on your health!
