Patch 2.3
Secrets of space

NEW character: Foxy
As an honorary Star Scout, Foxy is on a self invented mission to rid the galaxy of all evil. She also loves to collect weird aliens and put them in jars for her private collection. Unfortunately her scooter broke down in the Raki system. While searching for spare parts on the Starstorm station, she found a mysterious robotic claw artifact and the biggest adventure of her life!

Her skills are as following:

Pounce
Consume all charges to charge forward, knocking back enemies you come in contact with. Each charge increases range and damage.

Swipe
Consume up to 4 charges to shoot a piercing swipe that amplifies damage. Each charge increases the damage.

Strike
Foxy strikes with her claw awarding a charge when hitting an enemy. Max 4 charges.

Leap
Being super agile, Foxy can leap up and perform a double jump.
