There is a mix of heroes and villains within the Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact characters list. Some star in the beginning of the anime while others are some of the fiercest foes that Gon and his friends face towards the end.

Here are all of the Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact characters currently shown off, as of the time of writing:

  • Gon
  • Killua
  • Leorio

  • Hisoka
  • Netero
  • Uvogin
  • Biscuit Krueger
  • Chrollo
  • Feitan

All of these characters show their faces during the intro of the game, marking them as part of the base roster. Some notable exceptions so far include Ging Freecss (Gon’s father), Illumi Zoldyck (Killua’s terrifying brother), and Canary. There is definitely an opportunity for DLC in the future.

How does Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact play?

Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact is a 3v3 fighter that definitely takes inspiration Marvel vs. Capcom series. You’re switching out characters mid-combo and resting allies so they can build health. Kurapika’s chains make him a long-range fighter, while Gon is in everyone’s face, striking with his fists. The protagonist, however, does have some ranged potential. Killua, meanwhile, has electrical powers he can use to stun his opponents.

Hisoka is a scary fighter to go against, as he has a mixture of physical and ranged attacks. He can also pull in foes for a sticky situation with his Bungee Gum power. Leorio is a surprisingly strong fighter, as shown in the Evo Exhibition tournament. He can strike the ground and hit his foes with projectiles from underneath; he’s certainly unconventional.

The fearsome Uvogin from the Phantom Troupe has a ton of armor possibilities and he can be tough to face against. Established fighting game player Justin Wong during the Exhibition tournament stream said whiff-punishing Uvogin’s slow attacks will help you a lot with countering him.
