Vortex Gaming

· Sirius is the 100th Brawler, the first villain of the ultra-rare Legendary tier, with a unique shadow-manipulating playstyle.
· His backstory reveals he was the owner of Star Park's first attraction, but as Brawling gained popularity, he faded from interest and returned for revenge.
· His main attack fires two projectiles simultaneously: 'Shadow Strike,' which flies in a straight line, and 'Star Bomb,' which can be manually aimed to deal area damage.
· Sirius collects Brawler shadows after a certain number of successful attacks, and his Super allows him to summon up to three Brawler shadows. These shadows share similar attack and health characteristics to the original Brawler.
· By aiming his Super, he can command shadows to defend specific areas or attack enemies, allowing for strategic use.
· Using his Hypercharge summons even more powerful shadows.
· A special event will be held alongside Sirius's release.

· Naja is a Mythic-tier damage dealer with the ability to poison enemies using paper snakes.
· She was hired by Phinqs to make the Pyramid Quest puzzles more difficult but has a good nature, helping those trapped by Phinqs' time-warping antics.
· Her main attack involves throwing a jar containing deadly snakes, and she can release the snakes in any desired direction while the jar is in flight. This is very useful for attacking enemies behind walls or in tricky positions and provides a very long range.
· The jar deals direct damage, and the snakes inflict poison damage on targets. This poison stacks, increasing damage over time.
· Naja's Super, 'Dangerous Noodles,' releases three paper snakes that scatter over a certain distance, dealing poison damage to enemies within the area. This Super can also be aimed to throw a jar containing snakes at a specific location.

· New buffs will be applied to the Gadgets, Star Powers, and Hypercharges of the Retropolis and Rumble Jungle trio Brawlers.
· Six Brawlers will be improved: Crow, Bibi, Bull, Nita, Leon, and Bo.
