Schei: 20% shorter overload timer. If the selected tile is overloading, 9999 Blast Speed, double elements sent.

My personal thoughts on Schei: This character never really caught my eye all that much, and not just from the graphics. The character was designed to play similar to Darthvega from Meteo Wars. The gimmick is simple if you read it carefully, while a tile is overloading, matches made with that tile pull a Celestorii and double the elements sent...but with one catch, when you make the match the SELECTED tile has to be overloading, meaning you have to be careful how to make your matches if you want that max Blast Speed, which the gameplay video showed I'm not that good at it. To iterate, you have to have the rest of the match already set up, then move the last tile into place once its column flashes for an overload. This can be simple enough if it's the last column left to get a screen wide stack going, but accidental matches are a thing, which throws the gimmick out the window unless you clear the stack or let the tiles regenerate on purpose, and the tiles can be difficult to distinguish at times since they appear very similarly aside from a color change. And remember that the overload timer is much stricter with this character than the others, especially late game, so one wrong move could do you in. Overall, a kinda difficult character to play unless you don't care about the instant launch and you're fast enough to make matches before you overload.
