Nikandreos

Nikandreos is the main protagonist of the action platforming game . He appears as an Assist character in Fraymakers.

Character description
Nikandreos is a young warrior from the Village of Dion in ancient Greece. His parents died when he was born and he was taken in by other soldiers as a child. After his village is destroyed when the Gods of Greece abandon mankind, he takes up arms to save humanity by ascending Mount Olympus and hunting down the Gods in order to strip them of their power. He is guided by the Goddess Hera to gain the powers of each God he encounters, slaying them and their armies when necessary. Throughout his journey, Nikandreos finds himself fed up with the rule of the Gods over humanity, leading him to use the combined powers of the Gods within him to become a towering God himself.

As a warrior, Nikandreos fights both with his fists and with a variety of weapons, such as xiphos, battle axes, clubs, spears, bows, and knives. He also gains new abilities and weapons from the Gods and armies he defeats throughout his journey.

In Fraymakers
Nikandreos is one of the Assist characters in Fraymakers, and he is one of the twenty Assists available at the launch of its Early Access release. He is depicted with no armor and wields a xiphos and a Hoplon Shield. When called upon, he appears in front of the player and delivers a quick short-ranged stab forward and then an uppercut with the xiphos. The first hit deals 6 damage, with the final hit dealing 14 damage and weak upward knockback. The quick startup and low knockback of the attacks makes them very effective for setting up or extending combos. However, they also suffer from poor range.

It takes 50 damage to fully charge Nikandreos.

''Stabs forward, then slashes upward. The first slash comes out fast and the second hits vertically, making it the perfect combo starter or extender!''
