Adol Christin

The legendary fiery-haired adventurer, whose travels are known across the world. In Alternative Saga, Adol is the most balanced character, having no real strengths or weaknesses. This makes him extremely easy to use, but in many instances more specialized characters can get the upper edge on him. Still, even expert players can use him well--he's highly versatile and has some nasty skills and combos at his disposal. Starting character.

Strategies
Adol excels in conserving stamina, so guarding whenever possible is made much easier as him. His skills are a good mix of comboability and AoE, and he starts with a fairly useful, very low-cost ranged skill (Fire). His standard combo is six quick slashes, and his charge attack has great push, but outside of his downward thrust, he has poor air combat ability. Dash Cut is decent for utility and pushback, but does little damage, making it a questionable choice in a general loadout. Fire is a must against characters who can crush Adol mercilessly, and it's great for applying pressure. Aerial Thrust is most useful in comboing and goes extraordinarily well with either of his whirlwind attacks, or when tacked onto the end of a standard attack chain. Both his whirlwinds are a must for battles with 2 or more opponents; however, it's generally better to stick with Spinning Slash, as its damage and rise are more efficient for the SP cost. Beatdown is a great choice for comboing along with Aerial Thrust, and does immense damage, but its initial attack range is extremely narrow (think Klose's charge attack), making it a gamble to use unless your opponent is knocked down or in prolonged hitstun. A good, if basic, offensive setup would be something akin to Kevin on support, plus Spinning Slash and Beatdown; whenever you feel the moment is right, activate Kevin's support ability and continually use Spinning Slash and Beatdown consecutively until the effect wears off. This could easily give you the upper hand when backed into a corner, and does IMMENSE damage (3-4000 at lv99 with max skill and equipment level), but whether it's worth giving up another more defensive support ability is up to you. Experimentation is key with Adol; he's good in most any situation, but he can be even better with the right setup.
