All assist characters in Fraymakers

Fraymakers is an indie fighting game that uses the same formula as the Super Smash Bros. series, where the objective is to knock the opponent off the edge of the screen instead of depleting their health bar. The only fundamental difference between Fraymakers and Super Smash Bros. is its assist system, which allows the player to choose a different character to be summoned at different points during the fight.

All Fraymakers support characters

Fraymakers lets each player choose their fighter before going to the support selection screen. In order to use assists in combat, the fighter must fill up their gauge by dealing damage with attacks. Once the gauge is full, the player can summon their ally instantly or save them in case they are needed later in the game.

Below is the full list of the assist characters in Fraymakers at launch, the series they are from, and how they work in combat:

• aine (Renaine) – Aine executes a four-hit combo from close range.
• the Ape (Ape Out) – The ape charges at an enemy fighter and throws it.
• the bard (Wandering Song) – Creates a shield around the player that pushes enemies back.
• birthday (King of the Hat) – Throws a hat that knocks an enemy up.
• Captain Viridian (VVVVVV) – Flips gravity and launches the user into the air.
• teammate (Among Us) – When summoned, creates a circle that lasts for five seconds. If the player presses the assist button once to summon Crewmate, his team will be buffed. If the player presses the button twice, the Crewmate will transform into the imposter and deal damage to enemies in the circle.
• Commander Video (Bit.Trip) – Transforms into a shield that reflects projectiles.
• Diogenes (Getting Over it with Bennett Foddy) – Smashes enemies with his hammer and pot.

• Octodad (Octodad) – Grabs enemies and throws them into a spike attack.
• hurricane (Rivals of the Aether) – Fires a stream of bubbles that damages the enemy.
