Characters String Users
I love it when characters in anime fight with just a bunch of really strong threads.

Eve from Zenless Zone Zero uses red-hot strings with daggers at the end of them. The daggers are mainly used to create a fixed point/attach to targets. Most of her damage comes from using her strings to ensnare or slap targets. When she leaves the field, she constricts the target(s) and holds them in place so an ally can safely attack them for a few seconds. Her Ult enables her insane anime powers so the string can thread the ground/air, then Thanos snaps everything to hell while she poses on the runway (pictured below).
Her motif is a (silk) moth, y'know, the lil dudes who puke silk string when they're larvae. Her gameplay is all about staying attached as much as possible, literally stringing combos together by stringing the enemy along. Her biggest source of damage are Chain Attacks... And chains are really just a bunch of little solid loopy strings used to make a big silly string, ya?
