The best characters in Kirby Air Riders’ City Trial
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan Gnau in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For those playing Kirby Air Riders, we’re going over the best characters in the game’s City Trial.
In many ways, Kirby Air Riders is a racing game. But in just as many ways, it kind of isn’t – City Trial is arguably its premier game mode, and it’s more about combat and collecting than it is racing. If you’ve never played this mode before, you’re tasked with exploring Skyah, a City Trial-unique location, and gathering stat boosts to power up for the final battle. The final battle in question is different each game, and you can pick from a selection of four based on your currently equipped machine and its upgrades. As is the case with all competitive games, some characters are better than others. And as you might expect, the best rider for City Trial may just be a certain masked knight.
