Echidna

What is an Echidna?
An echidna is a class in SRB2-RPG. Echidnas belong in the HARD-HITTERS category, mainly because they have nearly twice the strength that other classes have. However, they lack MP and speed. While echidnas are one of the strongest classes to choose from, they don't have the largest arsenal.

Skills
Echidnas are mainly trained to be strong warriors and fight for their people. However, they can also learn valuable things.


 * Fist Slam - Level 10+
 * Dig - Level 5+

Abilities

 * Glide: By pressing the JUMP button mid-jump, you can glide in the wind. Upon gliding into a wall, you can climb the wall to gain access to higher areas. ABL stat * 2 = climbing speed.
 * Dig: By pressing the spin button in mid-air, you can drill into the ground. Underground, you can move around and eventually re-surface.
 * Enrage: By remembering how the Echidna clan was wiped out 4,000 years ago, you can become furious and sharply raise all of your stats. ABL stat determines how many seconds you can stay angry. You must be level 10 to use this.

Multiplayer Advantages
Online, echidnas have a large advantage. A successful punch will result in the victim being launched 256 fracunits away from the attacker, then landing on their back. The victim will lay on the ground for approximately 5 seconds, setting them up for an Echidna Combo: After they're down, spindash into them. When they're falling, glide into them and immediately dig. Then, after they land, thrust upwards out of the ground to land the finishing blow. The screen will even blur when you finish the combo.

Strategies

 * Dig-camping: Wait underground until somebody walks over you, then re-surface for a surprise attack.
 * Ambush: There's strength in numbers. If a bunch of stronger players keep messing with you, feel free to bring an army of echidnas with you. Have them all use the Echidna Combo on your enemies. Don't forget to bring Rings or some other currency to pay them!
