Elphelt Valentine

Elphet Valentine is a new playable character in Guilty Gear series. She is a playable DLC character in Guilty Gear XRD -SIGN-. She will also be seen in the game's story mode.



Yet it is unclear whether there is any relation between Elphelt and Ramletherl Valentine, or the clone simply named Valentine.

Personality
A kind-hearted lover of nature and animals, she ignores those who are lonely. She always tries to exemplify the pinnacle of femininity, only to fail over and over again.

Gameplay
Elphelt's playing style is remarkably different to any other Guilty Gear character in that, instead of using primarily melee weapons, she uses rifles and shotguns to deal damage. From long distances, she is able to snipe and 'potshot' opponents; she is also able to aim and reload these weapons. She also makes use of other weapons such as a pistol, fruit-shaped grenades, a cannon, and champagne, most of which are concealed within her bouquet. Her bouquet and individual flowers also function as melee weapons, along with a hidden cake-cutting blade.
