How to play Oryu
- Dragon Breath is a cone of fire that hits four times and keeps burning. Use it at mid range, where enemies cannot escape the cone.
- Scale Ward reflects projectiles. It hard-counters Yuki's Foxfire and Karasu's Steel Feathers.
- Oryu has one jump and weighs 1.15. Recover early: grab the ledge rather than gambling on a late double-back.

Story: Yokai · Dragon Blood
The Shogun Dragon's estranged son, exiled from Tokyo nine years ago. He came back the very week his father died. Oryu claims the throne by blood, and the dragonfire in his lungs says he may be right.
“My father's throne. My father's fire. Mine.”
The open question: Why did he return that week? Read every suspect's file in Who killed the Shogun Dragon?
