Melty Blood: Type Lumina is the fifth main installment of the series and carries on the tradition of the 2D fighting style. The upcoming DLC will be the second major one in the game, which has been in existence since September 2021. While the ultimate impact of the forthcoming DLC will be realized upon release, it appears pretty promising at first glance.

Two new characters

Powered Ciel returns to Melty Blood: Type Lumina and players can use her magic damage to do massive damage. She uses the Millennium-class holy relic "Seventh Holy Scripture."

Powered Ciel's moves and style are different from ordinary Ciel's, and her kit is geared towards an aggressive playstyle. Players will also be able to switch between her other weapons to play as they like.

The puppeteer Mario Gallo Bestino also enters as part of the free DLC 2 for Melty Blood: Type Lumina. Mario pulls the strings to control the sisters, which he uses to outlay significant damage. His greatest strength lies in his speed and agility, which can treat players well if they know what they're doing.

Mario is an excellent character for medium and long-distance battles. Mastering him could take some time as players will have to understand which attack is suitable in which situation. However, the task gets easier after some time, and Mario will feel no more complicated than the other characters in the game.
