Fleet's Up Air is a sweeping attack that has a powerful sweetspot at the start of the move. Up Air is great at juggling and launching opponents; but, a well spaced Up Air can combo into pretty much anything you want!

Loxdont's Dash Attack is a great burst option that can help him extend punishes, catch landings, or even cancel into an Up Strong! Use Dash Attack on a lava pool to throw magma at opponents and extend the active frames with a weak hitbox.

Clairen's Up Tilt is the perfect move to keep opponents at sword length. Use it to anti-air enemies, keep a juggle going, or set up for a deadly finisher with either the tipper or non-tipper.

While there was no Direct this year, we still cooked a little something for you. Presenting the almighty Chef Loxodont skin coming to Rivals 2 later this year.

Our first Kickstarter backer beta weekend, available to all Aetherian Hero+ backers, will be April 26-28th! Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

Happy 5th Birthday to Lovers of Aether. The game that we never should have made but did anyway. Then we released it for free because I never went to business school.

Kragg's Forward Strong is one of the most powerful moves in the game. Throw your weight around and finish off your enemies, break shields, and strike fear into their hearts.
