Spirit

"Spirit Scrapes The Sky!"/"Spirit Starts The Fire!"

"Let's get this over with. I've got a fresh bucket of tricks, all ready to be used."

Spirit is a character in ''Bro Warriors. ''

He is the strategist of the group, and will not stop until the Xaggis Empire is defeated.

Personality
Spirit can come off as brash and arrogant. Lying underneath these negative traits is a golden spirit. However, he is very reckless when it comes to battle. Whenever someone cries out for help, he rushes without thinking.

Powers and abilities
''The following section contains spoilers for the story of Bro Warriors. Please read at your own discretion.''

Spirit's weapon is the Spear Sword, a weapon that allows him to control the wind and slash the air to rend opponents. With his sword, Stratovarius, he can cut the air in front of him from far away. He can also create a projectile called a Reppu-Ha, a projectile that gives him many options. With his Float Shoes, he can jump high into the air and float on the way down.

With the Striking Sword in his possession, Spirit now has the ability to awaken a stronger and more powerful version of himself, dubbed "Dark Spirit", increasing his power levels drastically, and causing the area to burn up around him.

Play style
Spirit's moveset specializes in fast combos. He can use his "Dolphin Slash" attack to temporarily suspend himself and a foe in the air. Depending on the weapon, the time he and an opponent can spend in the air differs. His Reppu-Ha is probably one of the best projectiles in the game as it does great damage for a projectile, and the player can cause it to explode, increasing its range.

Striking Sword
The Striking Sword is more rushdown-oriented, removing some of the zoning capabilities from the Spear Sword and replacing them with powerful melee attacks and a unique ability that causes the user's damage to increase sharply.
