Larc
A demonic warrior working for Draconis, the dragon of darkness. Larc was an honorable warrior who became Draconis's dragoon after his death, unknowing what Draconis meant to do. With his new powers, Larc fights to fulfill his master's plans. Sierra is Larc's sister. Strategy: With his low speed and high power, use Larc defensively. Rising Crush, Axe Yo-yo and Boulder can all work to get the enemy away from him. Battle Plan: If you can manage to get close to him, his slow speed makes it difficult for Larc to get the first hit in.

Sierra

When Draconis's forces attempt to steal the energy of the dragons of nature, Sierra is forced to battle against the horde, which is lead by her own brother, Larc. Strategy: Despite her quickness, Sierra is best used as a projectile character. Her dagger specials as well as the Air cutter are superb middle distance attacks. Also, teleporting can be used to stay away from the enemy. Battle Plan: Sierra is a decent all-around fighter. The key to beating her is to pick a strategy that counters Sierra's.

Elazul is working with his partner, Pearl, to find a way to restore the Jumi race to their previous glory. Strategy: Elazul fighting style is much like Strider's. Elazul is best played aggressively. Both the Cloak Wing and Lapis Shock attacks can be comboed into many of his attacks. Battle Plan: Like many others, his strengths and weaknesses are not too different. Many of his specials place him out of position or make him pause and wait, leaving him open for countering.

Thanatos
The big, ugly Lich responsible for the corruption in the Secret of Mana world. After using most of the world's mana power to transform himself into an undead sorcerer, Thanatos tries to take control of the Mana Beast to destroy the world.

Golems are mechanical war machines that could be built by the player in Legend of Mana. These war-bots can be programmed with AI blocks to define when they attack. These Golems can be incredible fighters if the AI matrix is build correctly. In this game, Golems are controlled directly, so ignore the AI crap. Strategy: The Golems are slow moving with slow moves.
