Rutilus Nex

Rutilus Nex is a character in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita. A manipulative sadist who lives for the thrill of battle, he carries out the will of 0 while operating under the alias of "Red Shadow".

Appearance
Rutilus has black spiked hair, one brown eye and one red eye. For his default outfit, Red Butcher', he wears a red outfit with bronze pauldrons and gauntlets, with chainmail covering his waist.

Battle
 Rutilus Nex  Warmonger's Slaughter – Cripples the opponent with occult spells and overwhelming power.

Rutilus is a tough and aggressive fighter who uses darkness and blood-based abilities to disrupt his opponent, making it easier for him to dominate them with his physical strikes. While his Attack and HP are very high, his speed is severely lacking.

EX Mode
Rutlius's Ex Mode is Blood Lord. A crimson aura surrounds Rutilus, improving his weapon and granting him a helmet and additional armour. While in EX Mode, Rutilus gains the abilities "Regen", "Warmonger's Thirst" and "Blood Sacrilege". Rutilus slowly recovers health throughout the fight. Whenever Rutilus inflicts HP damage he regains health equal to 50% of the damage dealt (Anime Drain and Supremacy Fist now health equal to 100% of their HP damage). While attacking during EX Mode, Rutilus is not staggered by the first two attacks he is hit by with a medium priority or lower.

Rutilus's EX Burst is Absolute Bloodlust. Rutilus slashes the opponent with his greatsword before creating a burst of energy that dispels his crimson aura. Rutilus then grabs the opponent by the neck and strangles them, doing damage over time as a crimson mist surrounds them both. If the player presses several button prompts correctly, Rutilus regains his EX Mode form and leaps into the air with the opponent before crashing down against the ground as a dark meteor a few moments later, causing the opponent to slide away as Rutilus follows up by swinging his greatsword against the ground and upwards, creating a large slash of blood. If the player fails the button prompts, Rutilus instead throws the opponent against the ground and crushes their head with his foot from a first-person perspective, the screen fading to black.

Equipment
Rutilus can equip the following: Swords, Greatswords, Spears, Axes, Shields, Gauntlets, Hats, Helms, Clothes, Light Armor, and Heavy Armor.
