EDITOR'S NOTE
Great to see another NPC following on from Sindel. It's a major step toward making Invasion Bosses the event-based attractions they should be. The only thing missing is a more disciplined use of the realms. The same fans who'll respond to battling special NPC opponents will also be frustrated by haphazard in-fiction references (eg; Seido). NetherRealm really need to figure out if they're hot or cold on their once expansive universe - preferably hot - and get back to making the most of it. Being half-in and half-out has, at times, made the reboot era unsatisfying. Tanya's naginata makes us wish for a patch that maps a Hotaru skin to an Invasion Boss assets remix.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Is this an overdue use of assets - or a teaser for next year's DLC? Either way, we have to applaud the arrival of the first non-playable Invasion Boss. This should have been the plan from the get go. Other modes let players face enhanced versions of standard characters. Using NPC skins and existing moves to create the impression of a weekly "invader" is exactly what the mode needed. This gives it the 'event' status it supposes. Mapping simple skins of characters like Havik or Hotaru to existing move sets would also be a considerable improvement over previous "Chaosrealm" and "Orderrealm" offerings. Sindel is an excellent start, as it is.
