| |content= Boasting long range, crafty tricks and elegance in spades, Testament, the reawakened Gear, finally returns! Equipped with a massive crimson scythe, Testament controls the battlefield like no other. | |
|
| |
| Armed with impressive hitboxes on many moves, Testament is a strong contender in the midrange. {{clr|S|f.S}} and {{clr|H|5H}} are particularly strong for grounded space control, with {{clr|H|5H}} adding a disjoint at the cost of safety. {{clr|H|6H}} is a bit slow, but reaches far both horizontally and vertically. For air control, {{clr|S|j.S}} and {{clr|D|j.D}} excel at contesting foes. Spicing up Testament’s space control is the [[#Grave Reaper|Grave Reaper]] projectile. Both the grounded and aerial versions can be angled straight or diagonally with the {{Prompt|GGST|S|18px}} or {{Prompt|GGST|H|18px}} variants. It can also be powered up by partially or fully charging it, resulting in twelve different versions total.
| |
|
| |
| After Grave Reaper has travelled its full distance, the projectile transforms into a succubus that stays in place for a few seconds. The succubus can be teleported to with [[#Possession|Possession]] for a unique movement option. [[#Unholy Diver|Unholy Diver]] fires Testament’s crow like a projectile, which tracks to the position of the succubus. [[#Nostrovia|Nostrovia]] is a unique Overdrive that locks the opponent down under a barrage of attacks, allowing Testament to close the gap and enforce mix-ups. If Unholy Diver or Nostrovia make contact, the opponent is inflicted with Stain State. This opens up some new mix-ups and combo routes, such as converting off of uncharged {{clr|D|5D}}. You’ll need a good understanding of both the succubus and Stain State to make the most of Testament’s unorthodox offense.
| |
|
| |
| While Testament’s range is excellent, the same cannot be said for their frame data. Many moves are sluggish to start up or have long recovery. As such, wild swinging renders Testament vulnerable to counter hits and punishment. To mitigate this danger, remain calm and calculated. Wait for the right moment to strike.
| |
|
| |
| If you’re looking for a character with excellent range and tricky mix-ups, then this glamorous Grim Reaper is a perfect match.
| |
| | |
| | lore = Testament was once human, before being surgically modified into a Gear.
| |
| | |
| Under the control of the Conclave, they worked to revive Justice.
| |
| After the events of the Second Holy Order Selection Tournament, however, they regained their sense of self.
| |
| Feeling guilty, they hid in the Forest of Demons, before resolving to protect the half-Gear Dizzy from the humans who pursued her.
| |
| Although this began as a way to atone for their sins, it ended up bringing back their human sensibility.
| |
| | |
| They now live with the elderly couple who once took care of Dizzy.
| |
| This new life has brought them peace of mind, and they now enjoy their share of happiness.
