Ky Kiske is the deuteragonist of the Guilty Gear series, and rival to Sol Badguy.

Background[]

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Expert Tactician
  • Expert Swordsman
  • Magic Practicioner: Ky is most known for being adept at using lightning magic, which is the most difficult type of magic to use in the Guilty Gear world. Ky is also able to use other types of magic, but he doesn't use them often.
  • Expert Marksman: Although it is not one of his main combat attributes, in some GG spin-offs, Ky has shown to be skilled wielding gunblades.
  • Regeneration: After gaining Gear powers, Ky started to develop a healing factor that allows him to recover from deadly wounds in mere seconds.

Moveset[]

  • Stun Edge: Ky fires a bolt of lightning from his sword. Ky can also use a charged up version of this move.
  • Vapor Thrust: Ky preforms an upward slash that sends him and his target into the air.
  • Stun Dipper: Ky slides across the ground and then performs a low slash.
  • Greed Sever: Ky uses his sword to perform a lightning-imbued leaping air slash.
  • Lightning Strike: Ky summons lightning to strike his opponent down.
  • Lightning Javelin: Ky shoots a bolt of lightning that repeatedly damages the enemy.
  • Lightning Sphere: Ky envelops himself in a sphere of lightning and charges at his opponent.
  • Sacred Edge: Ky fires an arrow-shaped wave of lightning at his opponent.
  • Ride the Lightning: Ky surrounds himself with lightning and throws himself towards his opponent.
  • Rising Force: Ky's Instant Kill attack. With it, Ky opens a portal of lightning and charges through it, enhancing his speed and power. He then continues to charge at his target, stabbing them with a massive amount of lightning.

Equipment[]

  • Thunderseal: One of the weapons that were created by Frederick in project OutRage. It is a sword that greatly amplifies Ky's lightning magic. As a last resort, this sword can be sacrificed to halt time completely.
  • Aquila: A broadsword that Ky wielded after Thunderseal was sacrificed. It is much weaker than Thunderseal, as it doesn't increase Ky's magic power.
  • Magnolia Éclair II:
