Every character in Shadow Fight 4 Arena, attacks and strategies included

First name Unique abilities Rarity Guy Difficulty Strategy Ling

• Sharp blow
• Ling's Flask

Rare Heralds Easy Ling is a patient character: use him to block a few hits and then punish him with quick neutral combos. June

• Collapse Meter
• Control module
• Chaos Form

Legendary Dynasty Difficult June is extremely strong because she can break the opponent's block. To reach her full potential, you need to familiarize yourself with her gameplay. Shang

• Shadow Energy Expert
• Protection from the shadow

Common Dynasty Normal Shang has a long reach with his weapon, so you shouldn't be afraid to attack from afar. Use his projectile to hold enemies back, and when you're cornered, unleash your Shadow form. Kate

• Daughter of the liquidator
• Experienced soldier

Common Legion Easy Kate doesn't have the longest range, but she's fast and has brutal combos. Be patient and space your opponent out, then unleash hell. Battleship

• Stubborn as a mule
• Non-stop

Common Legion Easy Ironclad is a close-quarters fighter, and can even shield itself from projectile attacks. Use a more rushdown-focused attack strategy with this one. Snail

• Shadow Assault
• Perfection

Epic Heralds Normal Kibo loses his Shadow energy if he doesn't hit the opponent with his attacks, so distancing and isolating your opponent isn't worth the effort. Instead, be patient and wait for your enemy to make that big mistake before striking. Marco Epic Legion Normal Marcus starts out big and slow, but ends up becoming incredibly agile when you use his special ability. Keeping your opponent on edge while you land the hardest hits is the strategy here. Hong-joo

• Burning Bite
• Anticipation of the triumph

Rare Dynasty Normal Hong-Joo is a combo-bashing type of guy: wall them up and take them all out. His skill set is different than most, he's just a Triumph skill, which will help you deal massive damage to enemies. Fender

• Shadow generator
• Flamethrower
• Countdown

Common Heralds Normal Since Fireguard restores Shadow Energy through his Shadow Generator ability, you can feel free to use Shadow Energy whenever it is available, along with all special attacks, to dominate your enemies. Helga

• Power of light
• Shield of Light
• Hit

Rare Legion Easy Helga automatically smites enemies who use Shadow form with Smite, and gains access to her Shining Dash attacks simply by attacking an enemy. Combine them to overwhelm enemies. sergeant

• Shadow Team Leader
• Suppression of the will
• Old school

Rare Legion Normal Sarge quickly builds up Shadow energy while attacking and also gains invulnerability while in Shadow form – a powerful combo. Who needs special moves? Azuma

• Neutralization
• Consequence Management

Common Heralds Difficult Azuma negates Shadow energy, so he's a tough counter to all those characters we mentioned who thrive on it – and that's where Azuma dominates. The long reach helps too. Yucca

• Open wounds
• Guillotine
• The Shadow's Turn

Rare Dynasty Easy Shade's true form unleashes a shadow at your opponent to attack, and Yukka is at her best when doing this often. Jack's Bulwark

• Bone fracture
• Shadow Fortress

Common Legion Difficult When your opponent enters his Shadow form, Jack Bulwark lives up to his name and becomes invulnerable. Use him to dominate your enemies. Jet Rare Dynasty Difficult Jet doesn't have any fancy attacks, but he specializes in one strategy: patience. Jet's attacks will be weak at first, but as Shadow Harmony develops, Jet's combos will tear apart a blocking enemy. emperor

• Emperor's Curse
• Shadow Beast
• Predator's lunge
• Sharpened ribs
• Harpoon
• From below

Epic Dynasty Difficult

The Emperor dominates while in Shadow form as a Shadow Beast: build up Shadow energy and then go all out. Lynx

• Hunter in the shadows
• Mark of the Order
• Demonic Power

Epic Heralds Normal

Lynx is a hunter who never backs down from striking an enemy. He dominates from the shadows with powerful attacks. King of the Monkeys

• Ascension Day
• Jingu Strike
• Demonic Power

Legendary Dynasty Difficult

Monkey King's attacks are better the more damage he does to the opponent. He's a fun unit, but quite difficult to play. Once you master his kit, he'll win you a lot of games. Midnight

• Shadow shift
• Escape technique
• Experiment successful

Epic Heralds Normal

Can teleport behind enemies, performing surprise attacks that deal high damage. Cobra

• Charge bite
• Serpentoxin
• Bomb Drop
• Vegetable bomb

Rare Heralds Normal

Corba can pierce the enemy block dealing huge amounts of damage. It also has the ability to reduce the opponent's damage. King of the Legion

• Sacrificial pact
• Shadow Domain
• Dark Incarnation

Legendary Legion Difficult

King of the Legion can unleash heavy attacks that cover an area in front of him – the top attack, however, has one of the shortest ranges, but is also one of the most damaging abilities if executed correctly. The player should always be careful of his HP, as KKing of the Legion sacrifices his health to charge Shadow Energy. Butcher Epic Legion Easy

With Butcher you want to attack as if you were fighting “cattle”, as his moveset suggests. You want to alternate between kicks and Cleaver attacks and trap enemies in the Cattle Cage whenever they are weakened. He

• Time manipulation
• Space-time cut

Legendary Heralds Difficult

When playing as Itu, your goal is to use talents like Yadomejutsu to deflect ranged attacks, while using Time Manipulation to successfully land attacks on enemies even from close range (especially against ranged enemies). Lord Gideon

• Perfect moment
• Bounty Hunter
• Guardian Spectre

Epic Legion Normal

With Lord Gideon, you really don't have to worry about running out of HP. His kit is designed to make him “invulnerable”, so to speak: he can't go below 1 HP. Use this window of time to take down your opponents with a flurry of attacks.
