Lee Chaolan fights with Martial Arts, but his true power comes from the Violet Suit, a one-of-a-kind battle suit that uses sophisticated technology and unleashes attacks that reflect his “Silver haired-Demon” persona.Alisa Bosconovitch
Alisa Bosconovitch is the “Destroying Automaton” developed by the brilliant scientist Dr. Bosconovitch.
Alisa’s fighting skills come from her high-mobility flight suit and her arsenal of technological weaponry.Zafina
The “Mystic Stargazer” Zafina brings back her unique fight style rooted in her warrior heritage and her spiritual abilities as a mystical astrologist. Her methods are as old as her lineage, using Ancient Assassination Arts in her attacks.Panda
Panda’s nickname as the “Pretty Protector” comes from her double duty as both Ling Xiaoyu’s pet and bodyguard. She uses Heihachi-Style Advanced Kuma Shin Ken as her fighting style.
That now makes 30 of the 32 fighters officially announced who will make up the game’s full roster. Bandai Namco confirms the last two fighters in the 32-character roster will be revealed on November 2 and November 12.
