Soul Survivor

"Ahh... free at last. O Gabriel, now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall GLISTEN before the temples of Man! Creature of Steel, my gratitude upon thee for my freedom. But the crimes thy kind have committed against humanity are NOT forgotten! And thy punishment... is DEATH." —Minos Prime

Info

Soul Survivor (often referred to as just Minos Prime or Minos) is an Epic ability, originating from the FPS game ULTRAKILL and was added on Update 1.9.

Appearance

Soul Survivor is a tall, luminescent humanoid. His translucent body gives a clear view of his circulatory system, which seems to be the only organs present. There is a hole where his face should be, and he wears a large crown like the one worn by his deceased Husk. Twin serpents can be seen coiled around his arms. If you would not like to cosplay as Minos and you want to wear your own avatar go to settings, click video, and turn off cosmetic changes.

Trivia

This ability is a near perfect 1:1 adaption from the source material, excluding the counter and grab.
Soul Survivor's pose music is Requiem, from the level 2-2 /// DEATH AT 20,000 VOLTS in ULTRAKILL. You cannot fight Minos in this level. However, his husk does appear in the background, visible at nearly all times.
Soul Survivor's pose music changes when awakening, being ORDER, from his boss fight, P-1 /// SOUL SURVIVOR.
This ability can chain nearly all of its moves together. Coupled with low cooldowns, this is a very formidable enemy and ability to use. 7 of 10 moves can bypass ragdoll, making this ability deadly if you mess up once.
While Soul Survivor can have high damage outputs, blocking and parrying the attacks is key when fighting this spec.
As mentioned before, Soul Survivor is based off the glorious King Minos from ULTRAKILL.
"WEAK" currently has a flawed description in which a damage increase is mentioned, yet with the current changes it gets no such buff and instead makes the spec's shockwaves bigger. The damage reduction and attack speed buffs thankfully remain untouched.
If you roll pure red unusual pattern 72 on Metallix, it gets new voice lines, custom SFX, and custom VFX, which is an easter egg based on the Sonic.EXE creepypasta.
