SPIRE

Spire is the sole remaining Diamont, the last member of an ancient silicone-based race whose bodies are composed of organic rock. Spire’s life as a Bounty Hunter takes him from one end of the galaxy to the other, while he continually searches for some information on the location, or fate, of the rest of his people. When he receives a message from Alimbic Cluster, he races to that system with the hope of finding the Alimbics’ source of ultimate power, and solving the mystery of their lost race, will help him solve the mystery of his own.

Dialanche Usage
The Dialanche is an interesting alt form. It has the ability to climb walls but doing it quickly takes practice. It is slow but wall climbing helps it do unexpected things such as flank and get to hard to reach places.

The Dialanche has a decent attack. At a close range, this spin attack can do up to 64 damage a hit and each hit is rapid. It require high contact but can hurt. Unfortunately the Dialanche is slow making it unreliable. It is a good alt for tall levels but otherwise it should be used sparingly.

Spire Biped Usage
Spire has one of the worst biped forms. His body is large, his head is fairly big, and he is extremely slow. The poor guy would be great if his speed wasn't so bad. In order to deal with this, you have to compensate for speed.

Stealth with Dialanche Wall Climbing helps but the Magmaul is where you'll need proficiency. The magmaul is a superb gun. It fires magma chunks that bounce off the ground and off walls. It can be used to get people out of tunnels, nuke alt form abusers, and do damage.

To use the Magmaul well with Spire, you shouldn't jump much. The thought of the Magmaul will keep enemies jumping. Use this to your advantage and aim ahead so that the shot will hit them when they land. You'll get plenty of damage up until they go to their alt. This part requires aim, you need to charge and lob the shot at the alt. If it makes direct contact, the shot will light the person on fire and burn them. Hopefully this will kill them before they get anywhere.
