version travels a set distance to attack from the front.
As EXE Beast is a strictly ground-base technique, the opponent can simply jump up to avoid the attack. Failing to do so, they still have an option to just stand and block as it is not a low attack like its movement suggests.
Introduced in Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus for EX Testament, Testament gains the alternate version of Lucht Warrant (ルフトウォレント, Ruhuto U~orento?), which makes Warrant a teleport instead of a counter; the

Like the regular Warrant, EX Testament's Lucht Warrant poisons the opponent on contact - regular Testament's doesn't, however.
Should the opponent walk where Testament set the Zeinest trap, they will get trapped in the web for a second, then get launched. The trap otherwise lasts for 10 seconds. If Testament has a doll stocked, the web traps the opponent for 3 seconds, imprinting a purple skeletal creature on top of the web.
Exclusive to EX Testament, they dissipate into blood as if using Warrant - however, instead of going front or back, Testament teleports above the opponent to strike them with their scythe.

Testament's Dolls are a unique mechanic exclusive to the Guilty Gear XX series.
After using their air throw or Master of Puppet, Testament gains a straw doll with a nail through its head and holding a red orb.
These dolls alter the effects of HITOMI & Zeinest, using 1 doll per input;
- HITOMI's tree gets bigger and poisons the opponent.
- Zeinest's web keeps the opponent locked in place for 2 seconds.
Stain (ステイン, Sutein?) is a unique status effect that Testament can afflict in Guilty Gear -Strive-.

Guilty Gear
Guilty Gear X & XX series
In the original Guilty Gear, a blue/purple centipede-like creature replaces the blade of Testament's scythe as they descend. Following Guilty Gear X, Testament's blade morphs in the shape of a screaming skull as they swing their scythe around.
Grave Digger is one of Testament's more valued special attacks for more direct head on damage and aggressive approaches. Its large hitbox and mobility allows it great versatility, for attacking crouching opponents with an unblockable overhead, and to get in damage while closing distance immediately on foes. Because of Testament's lack of further aggressive attacks, Grave Digger can become a liability and can be anticipated if the player cannot mix up and become unpredictable to throw foes off track.Panzer Centipede (パンツァーセンチピード, Pantsā Senchipīdo?) was first introduced - and last seen in the original Guilty Gear.
Testament spikes a blue ball of energy down at their feet. After 2 seconds, a blue, demonic centipede wriggles its way out of the ground and floats up, flailing around like a fish. Both the energy ball and the beast are unblockable.
Dimension Scythe (ダイメンションサイス, Daimenshon Saisu?) was first introduced - and last seen in the original Guilty Gear.
Testament slams the bladed end of their scythe into the ground, making it reappear a short way in front and arcs over to jab the opponent's feet. If it hits, the opponent will get pinned in place for 3 seconds - afflicted with the one-off "Capture" status; unable to jump out, and Testament's attacks will not free them.
Warrant (ウォレント, U~orento?) was first introduced in Guilty Gear X, and last seen in Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus R.

Unholy Diver (アンホーリーダイバー, Anhōrī Daibā?) was first introduced in Guilty Gear -Strive-.

Soul Vise (ソウルヴァイス, Souru Vaisu?) is Testament's first Instant Kill, only appearing in the original Guilty Gear. Replaced by Seventh Sign in Guilty Gear X.
Testament grabs their opponent, then slams them sharply to the ground - enough strength to expel the soul out of their opponent, appearing as a skull that dissipates like mist.

Testament splits their scythe into 2 smaller ones, doing a cross slash. If it connects, a large bed appears in front of them with their opponent on the top.
