Unused Content/Signature Attacks

Default Signatures

Before Alpha v0.1.0, unique signature attacks did not exist for each Legend. Instead, each weapon would have the same heavy attacks, regardless of what Legend had the weapon equipped. Weapons that were affected by this include the Sword, Blasters, Rocket Lance, and Grapple Hammer.

During the time where unique signatures did not exist, there was no difference between neutral and down signatures - they both resulted in the same attack. As a result, each weapon only had 2 usable default signatures, with unused neutral signatures in the game files for Sword, Lance, Hammer and Blasters. Spear and Katars have no unused neutral signatures since they were released after unique signatures were introduced.

There are also default signatures found for the Bow, but were never used in-game.

Default signatures were fully removed from normal play by Beta v1.12.0.

Introduction of Signatures

With the introduction of signature attacks in Alpha v0.1.0, there were two main differences compared to today:

• Each Legend only had 1 unique signature per weapon, performed by doing a neutral heavy attack. Side heavy and down heavy remained as the default heavy attacks seen above.
• Each unique signature had a name and icon; these could be viewed on the Legend info screen.

Combine this with the fact that all Legends could use each weapon, and every Legend had a total of four signatures.

Introduction of Weapon Combos

In Alpha v0.4.0, the ability to use any weapon as any Legend was removed, and each Legend was assigned two weapons. Because of this, each Legend up until Teros only had 2 unique Signatures (one per weapon), with the other heavy attacks being default Signatures.

These signatures all had names, many taken directly from when each Legend could use each weapon. These names could not be seen in-game after Beta v1.0, but would sometimes be referenced in patch notes until around Beta v1.7.0.

The following table lists all of the unique Signatures for each Legend. Since many are still used today, animations will only be shown for the ones that were removed.

With Beta v1.7.0, the current system of 3 unique Signatures per Weapon was introduced. Over the course of several updates, previous Legends received their new Signatures in the following order:

• Beta v1.7.0 (Mar 19, 2015): Lord Vraxx, Ada, Cassidy and Scarlet
• Beta v1.8.0 (Apr 10, 2015): Queen Nai
• Beta v1.8.7 (Apr 23, 2015): Gnash
• Beta v1.9.0 (May 7, 2015): Sentinel
• Beta v1.10.1 (May 22, 2015): Hattori and Sir Roland
• Beta v1.11.0 (May 29, 2015): Bödvar and Orion
• Beta v1.12.0 (June 17, 2015): Thatch and Lucien

By Beta v1.12.0, all Legends had 6 unique Signatures, in turn removing their older Signatures and default Signatures.

Air Signatures

In the game files, there existed unique and unused Signature animations for Queen Nai and Hattori that would have been used in the air. Only four total animations exist. It is unknown whether these would have been Legend-specific recovery attacks, or if they would have been side-air heavy attacks.

• 

  Queen Nai's Blasters air Signature.

• 

  Queen Nai's Hammer air Signature.

• 

  Hattori's Sword air Signature.

• 

  Hattori's Lance air Signature.

Stalker's Signatures

Stalker is an unreleased Legend who, despite being unreleased, had Signatures developed for her. As she was developed when each weapon had only one signature, she had two functioning signatures, one for her Lance and one for her Katars. There were also three additional Lance signatures tied to her, though it is unknown if they would have been used in-game.

Weapon	Signature	Description
		Stalker charges forward, shooting a purple laser out of the exhaust of her Lance.
		Stalker hides in the shadows, leaps forwards and strikes. This attack is fast and covers a fairly large distance.
