About the game
Himel Nine, the newest member of the BattleCON roster, is an invincible hulk with supercharged weapons. His UA, Invincible Armor, reduces incoming damage down to 1, allowing him to shrug off even the most powerful attacks in the game with impunity. Invincible Armor can be removed by moving past Himel, and it is also removed whenever Himel moves. This paradox leads to many critical moments where Himel needs to out-speed or out-slow the opponent, and must consider his foe's options carefully. Himel also has a unique and colorful personality, which comes out on many of his cards.
