The same goes for Shield and Defence as well.

Do be aware though that Attack and what we’re calling strength are not precisely the same thing, as their icons are completely different. Attack is strong against Grab, Grab is strong against Shield, and Shield is strong against Attack simple stuff. These three classes work in favour and against one another using a fairly straightforward rock, paper, scissors manner that’s common in a lot of other games. 1 Gooey assigned to Inkling has a total power of 1587, which is made up of a strength power of 762 and a defensive power of 825, indicated by appropriate icons (see above).Įach Spirit comes with its own class as well, namely Grab, Attack, or Shield. For example, according to the Direct, a Lvl. You can assign one primary Spirit which will boost your strength and defence. You can assign Spirits you collect through methods we’ll discuss later on to your fighter, and empower your own abilities, similar to the stickers found in Brawl. Even the stage can be affected, such as being covered in poison, lava, or having strong winds happening all the time.īut Spirits aren’t just an obstacle for you to overcome, they can also be benevolent. These mashups don’t stick to just the traditional rules either, and so you’ll be thrown head-first into all sorts of unpredictable and unlikely scenarios.

For instance, Gordo causes Dedede to become invisible and basically do nothing but fire Gordos. These affect how the characters behave, and all sort of wacky things can occur as a result of these two characters combining into a single fighter. In their desperation they enter puppet fighters that have been cloned from all the playable fighters in the game so, for example, you’ll be fighting a Mario Puppet that’s being powered by a Smoky Progg from the Pikmin series, or a King Dedede Puppet powered by a Gordo. The lore behind it all is that Spirits are characters that have been ripped from their bodies and are floating about the place desperate to exist again. However, it is somewhat possible that World of Light is the only way to unlock new fighters, in which case you will have to dip your toe at least a little bit. If you don’t like the idea of them, they’re safely tucked away behind an optional mode and you needn’t bother with them. They don’t come into play during regular battles or online matchmaking, so if you’re concerned about the competitive scene being impacted, don’t be.
