Joseph, or Joe for short, is a playable character introduced in Metal Slug: Awakening.
Character Summary[]
"My Position, my territory!"
When Joe was still called Joseph, he was the most elite agent in the Security Investigation Agency. However, to the top brass, he was nothing but a tool that could be sacrificed at any time. He chose to erase his name and past when he was sacrificed, becoming a listless mercenary called Joe who does nothing all day. But the naive and inappropriate faith of that white- haired commander whom Joe once looked down upon ignited the fire in his heart once more...[1]
Skills[]
Overloaded Shield Strike[]
Pull the giant shield towards the target for a Melee ATK, dealing 110% ATK as DMG, and the whole squad enters 1 stack of Overload state. If the target is hit, gain an additional shield of 20% points. When Joe is switched off in the squad, he leaves his giant shield in place, creating an Overload barrier. When Joe is active again, he pulls that shield to his side, dealing 110% ATK as DMG to nearby units.
Overload Barrier: Attacking targets on the opposite side of the barrier increases DMG by 20%, and DMG in a 3-stack Overload state is further increased by 6%.
Vanguard Shield[]
Slam the giant shield to the ground, dealing 1,500% ATK as DMG to nearby units and knocking them up, gaining a shield of 40% points, while deploying a giant Overload Field for 8s. Allies within range get a DMG Boost.
Overload Field: Inside the field, DMG is increased by 50%, and if in a 3-stack Overload state, DMG is further increased by 18%. When Joe is in the team, for each 10% PEN, DMG in a 3-stack Overload state is increased by 1%.
