Character Creation

Selecting a Character

DMFD features 6 Playable Characters:

Character	Summary
Empress	All-around melee DPS attacker. Recommended introductory character for a balanced playstyle with quick attacks and intricate positioning to "dance around" enemies. Comparable to the baseline gameplay of Inti Creates's Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX games.
Warrior	Defender, tank, and berserker. Recommended introductory character for players unfamiliar with 2D action games and who prefer a slower playstyle. Playstyle revolves around defending teammates and, in turn, building up power to unleash powerful burst attacks.
Shinobi	Agile fighter and "DP battery" who draws aggro and attacks with a lock-on. Recommended advanced character for a tactical playstyle focused on intricate positioning in midair. Somewhat comparable to the gameplay of Copen from Inti Creates's Azure Striker Gunvolt 2.
Witch	Spellcaster specialized in Magical artillery and some support via healing. Recommended advanced character for a playstyle focused on memorizing spell inputs and choosing the appropriate attack spells.
Oracle (Unlocked after clearing the main scenario)	Spellsword specialized in ranged DPS who requires support and buffing spells to reach maximum performance. Recommended advanced character for a risky playstyle that involves dishing out powerful ranged attacks and finding openings to cast buffs.
Bandit (Unlocked after clearing the DLC scenario)	Combo-based DPS with versatile damage types. Recommended advanced character for players coming from fighting games and those familiar with the other playable characters.
