Sorrow

Verity, known as The Emperor's Sorrow, is a character in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita NT, originating from Softly Come the Rains.

Appearance
Sorrow is a tall, well-built man with dark brown skin and curling black hair. In contrast to Joy and Saturnius, Sorrow is dressed simply in a long tunic and trousers of blue grey. Draped around his shoulders is a shawl of pale blue, its edges embroidered with a pattern of green and gold threads on red. His gaze is often sad or empty.

Story
Verity dreams of people who are dead.

He dreams of Joy, whose love has withered. She is gone from us now.

He dreams of Saturnius, his brother, his emperor. We were betrayed.

He dreams of Sorrow. I do not remember my face.

Why do I dream of a man called Sorrow?

Battle
 Sorrow  Purifier – conjure up powerful, cleansing waves of water from the impurity of the earth

Sorrow is an unusual Marksman whose abilities are heavily ground-based, influenced by territory he himself can manipulate. Sorrow emphasises long-ranged attacks, often slow-moving and/or heavily telegraphed, but with spectacular effect if they are landed correctly.

His kit is influenced by the presence of Cracked Earth. Sorrow leaves a constant stream of Earth in his path, in a streak slightly wider than his hitbox. After five seconds, the Earth becomes Cracked. Performing abilities when Sorrow is on Cracked Earth, or landing attacks on it, drastically influences the effectiveness of the attack, but also consumes the Cracked Earth.

Effective use of Sorrow requires careful planning and movement around the battlefield, creating fields of dangerous control for the enemy. As some of his moves consume Cracked Earth even if they do not land, impulsive spamming is discouraged. Sorrow benefits most in a highly coordinated team, particularly if he has a partner that can drive his targets towards the earth. Conversely, Sorrow can perform a supportive role by limiting enemy movement with his pressure, and inflicting crowd control with Cracked Earth aspected abilities.
