New character – Rappa

Rappa is a 5-star Imaginary element character who follows the Path of Erudition.

Background

A peculiar girl who appears in Penacony like a flashbang at the darkest hour of night, identifying herself as a ninja and attributing everything in the world to “ninjutsu.” Upholding the recitation of ninja mantra, creating Dazzling Ninja Seals, and mastering ninja techniques, the Way of the Ninja involves rap, graffiti, and comics. Through rigorous self-discipline, she roams the stars, upholding justice and righteousness. As a member of the Galaxy Rangers, she relentlessly pursues the villain known as Evil Ninja Osaru, chasing them to the very edge of the Cosmos.

Combat Role

Rappa is a DMG dealing character suited for attacking multiple targets. After using her Ultimate, Rappa will gain an extra turn and an ability that can reduce Toughness regardless of weakness. Additionally, Rappa can increase the Break DMG sustained by Broken enemies.
