Breaking down Locust Guy in Jujutsu Shenanigans

Overview

Locust Guy in action (Image via Roblox)

Locust Guy is inspired by Ko-Guy from Jujutsu Kaisen, a character with a locust-like design and poison-focused moves. Being a poisoner and grappler, this fighter can bypass guards and inflict massive damage over time, making him a constant threat on the battlefield.

For his passive ability, he gets access to Flight, which serves as a short aerial dash that lets him juggle an airborne ragdolled enemy. He can chain up to three regular attacks and — if the opponent hasn’t hit the ground yet — a skill as a combo ender. This does come at the cost of 5% of the Awakening gauge.

Once his Awakening meter is full, he gets access to Directed Poison, an uninterruptible, unblockable ultimate move. Unlike traditional Awakening gauges, this move does not result in a transformation. Thus, Locust Guy only has access to one set of skills. That said, Directed Poison is fairly devastating in its own right.

The Awakening move inflicts heavy poison damage to the opponent, slowly draining their HP. While performing the move, the user is completely invulnerable, making it safe to use at any time. Directed Poison is best used early on in a duel to capitalize on the damage dealt over time. It can also be a great way to avoid certain unblockable and uninterruptible attacks by making use of its intangibility.

• Crushing Jaws: Three-hit unblockable move that throws the opponent into the ground. Allows follow-up attacks.
