How Red Roc Luffy Rewrites the Rules of Combat in Bounty Rush 🔥
Leaked data indicates that this version of Luffy boasts solid endurance, allowing him to withstand direct exchanges, while his base attack power surpasses that of other recent legendary characters. His specials, centered on the Red Roc style, have wide range and reduced cooldown times, making it easy to chain combos. Additionally, his passive ability grants a damage bonus against specific types, forcing players to rethink their lineups if they want to compete in the meta.
Meanwhile, those who spent gems on the last character cry in a corner 😭
Because yes, just when you thought your team was unbeatable and you had emptied your wallet on the previous banner, this Luffy arrives with his red jacket and smug smile. Forums are already full of players asking if it's worth abandoning their beloved Gear Fifth. Spoiler: yes, but don't tell them that, as they're still in the denial phase. Get ready to see him in every match for the next few weeks.
