DUAL BLADES
	Ludger's specialty, taught by Julius since early childhood. With dual blades he is quick, agile, and deadly. Most of his attacks involve flips, dodges, and aerial strikes. He's quite the jumper. This is his strongest fighting style, and one he uses the most, simply due to his long experience with the weapons. (click pic for full)

SLEDGEHAMMER
	Introduced via a hands-on "lesson" with Ivar, Ludger is mostly self-taught. As he has only recently started using it, he is less skilled with the sledgehammer staff, but makes up for it in strength, since it obviously will pack a punch. He is much slower when using it due to the weight, but a heavy weapon is much harder to guard against. (click pic for full)

DUAL PISTOLS

Much like the sledgehammer, Ludger is self-taught with the pistols, and they're also a recent addition to his arsenal. Because of this, he's slower with them in order to stay accurate, since it would be a huge problem if he started shooting his allies. He's decent with them, and they're great for pinpointing weak spots, but he only uses them when he has to, favouring the mid-to-close range fighting styles instead. (click pic for full)

CHROMATUS

The chromatus is a transformation that is triggered via Ludger's pocketwatch, with four different levels of power to unlock. Each level causes a different transformation, and the higher the level, the more power at Ludger's disposal. The chromatus forms durable armor and a nigh-impenetrable shield around Ludger and whatever enemies he's fighting when he transforms, trapping them inside with him and shielding allies from harm. Higher chromatus levels take longer to recharge and will corrupt Ludger's body faster. Currently, he is at Level 2. (level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4)
