The Awakening · Character
Kilimanjaro
Gichinga, one of the most powerful Alphas on Earth, hails from Kenya and was born at Mount Kilimanjaro. After awakening, he gained the ability to channel the energy of the earth itself, manipulating stone, precious minerals, and the terrain around him with overwhelming force. Deeply connected to the land, Gichinga stands as a formidable protector capable of reshaping the battlefield in an instant. In the TCG, Kilimanjaro uses his Magnitude abilities to gain health, draw cards, and build overwhelming momentum before unleashing devastating waves of attacks.
“Gearwin, Steampunk Engineer and Kilimanjaro, Power Erupting arrived on the scene and had their highest finishes to-date in competition.”
