Arkhov

Ex-Russian Army, tall and lanky with broad Iori-style shoulders and a long Russian Greatcoat, stocked full of grenades (or potatoes) that he can throw at various distances with effects similar to Leona's explosive hairpin. Long hair and thick mustache. We will not be giving him an ushanka; the commissar's coat should be distinctive enough.

Moves

• Pull the pin on a grenade. The grenade needs to be used within five seconds or it goes off, damaging Arkhov (and his opponent if they're nearby).
  • Arkhov can also attempt to grapple with the enemy while a grenade is live, by attempting to throw them. Both Arkhov and his opponent will explode in the process, but it will damage the opponent more, and Arkhov less, than if the grenade had just gone off on its own.
• Club an enemy with a grenade. If the pin has been pulled, this does greater damage to the opponent, but slightly damages Arkhov in the process.
• Chuck a grenade. Hold button longer for harder throws. If the pin hasn't been pulled, Arkhov chucks a potato instead ("Real grenades are more valuable than you!") that doesn't deal as much damage but builds gauge faster.
• Plant a sticky-bomb on the opponent. Can be comboed into a throw, causing them to explode in mid-air.
• SUPER: Pull the pin on three grenades at once and lob them across the screen.
