radish

radish’s first appearance at rising tides split 2 introduced a duelist who could put real weight behind the opening challenge. phoenix, jett, and reyna all suit a game built around taking space through direct combat, and radish delivered the strongest part of that promise in the damage they created. the tradeoff is just as important: the round involvement was less dependable, so a sharp start did not always become a full-round contribution.

the combination produces intriguing but uneven arrival, with the aim carrying more authority than the wider sequence of decisions. radish can bend a round early when the entry lane opens, yet the value drops when the first fight does not resolve cleanly. for now, radish’s place is defined by the moments when the duel goes their way—and what follows afterward.
