Tekken 8 Season 2 got off to a bit of a rought start to say the least, but the game is shortly going to receive another big update including a new DLC character.
Ahead of Fahkumram’s impending release, a starter guide and early gameplay video has now been released for the next Tekken 8 fighter.
IGN got to sit down with Bandai Namco to showcase what Fahkumram can do in action to help get you prepared for his arrival next week.
Obviously, Tekken’s Muay Thai king stands out with his long reach and hard-hitting blows like before, but he’s got some new tricks up his sleeve too.
He now has a Garuda Force buff indicated by the icon under his health bar that can be activated by landing certain moves or entering Heat Mode, which causes his lightning scars to glow red.
This allows Fahkumram to perform some new strings including his old Tekken 7 Rage Drive and a chargeable Rama Stance that gives him different follow-up options.
The guide also goes over the fighter’s notable moves, frame data, strings and punishes to get a good idea of where to start with him.
Fahkumram is set to release on July 7 for season pass holders while those looking to pick him up by himself will have to wait until July 10.
Tekken’s next update will also drop at the same time containing balance changes, an Atelier Yumia collaboration event, Pac-Man stage and more, which will be detailed in Bandai Namco’s live stream coming July 6 at 8 p.m. PT.
