The Harp is a balanced character in Pyre, excelling in mobility and unique offensive capabilities. While initially slow, her potential can be unlocked with the right skills and talismans, making her a potent force for both offense and scoring.

Basic Controls:

• Jump: The Harp flies into the air. Holding the button allows sustained flight as long as stamina permits.
• Sprint: A short-range dash that shoves enemies out of the Harp's path.

Strengths: Unique tackle aura cast; sustained flight can dodge ground-based enemies and ignore blocking terrain.

Weaknesses: Slow on the ground; aura is small unless actively tackling.
