Killer Instinct Guide › SPINAL

INTRODUCTION

The skeleton warrior returns with teleports, sword, shield, and all! Mastering this character will be no simple task, but it will be well worth the effort. His movement is on the slower end of the cast, but his command run, dive kick, slide, and teleport help him get around. On top of the usual Shadow and Instinct Meter that most characters have to manage, Spinal also has an additional resource—Skulls. These Skulls can be used to upgrade his special attacks, giving them additional properties and making them work better with one another. He also has the ability to stack Curses onto his opponent to steal that opponent’s Instinct or Shadow Meter—or both! The better you know your opponents and how they use their characters, the better Spinal gets at stopping them.

INSTINCT MODE

When Spinal activates his Instinct, he instantly spawns his full stock of 5 Skulls. He also regenerates a Skull every 2 seconds. Instinct also increases drain rate on all of his Curses.
