Guilty Gear/Testament

Click here for more information about Testament's other fighting game appearances.

Testament is one of three boss characters in Guilty Gear (the others being Baiken and Justice) and is the sub-boss who must be defeated before the battle with the final boss, Justice. Beat the game to unlock him.

Testament was a human before he made his conversion into a Gear. As a human, he was kind, gentle, pacifistic. He had a strong hatred of violence; this didn't help him much as a knight of the Sacred Order. Testament was a participant in the Crusades, and as he saw death all around him, his mentality wasn't able to keep its stability. After becoming a Gear, Testament showed loyalty to the leader of all Gears, Justice, and became her puppet.

A boss on a difficulty level almost as high as Justice's, Testament is not an opponent to be taken lightly. His quick combos leave barely any room for counterattacks, and as his attacks pile up, so does the damage you take. Like Justice, Testament also doesn't have a charge. His flashy move set consists of scythe slashes, summons, and strange magic. However, he isn't as easy to get control of as he may seem. Beyond his flashy move set is attacks that work best when timed correctly with a good set-up. Though he has great range and his moves make high damage, he has slow recovery time and effectiveness with Testament requires a bit of strategy.
