About
Talim grew up in the Philippines. She was believed to be the last priestess of her tribe. On the day the Evil Seed rained down on the world, she felt its evil power. Some time later, a man appeared who carried a small metal shard. Talim could feel the same evil power in this piece of metal as she did years ago. She was convinced that by returning this shards and others like it to their rightful place, it would bring piece to the world.
Against the wishes of her elders, Talim set out on this quest. She soon connected the legends of the cursed sword, Soul Edge, and the evil she had been tracking. She eventually came to a small mountain side watermill where she found a group of sick children. Among them, she felt a strong evil aura coming from one in particular. Not long after she arrived did Yun-seong stumble across the watermill. He spoke of his quest to find the Soul Edge which caught Talim's attention.
Yun-seong stayed with Talim as she tried to help the kids. She would eventually perform a dangerous ritual that cured all the children and freed them from the evil. Talim set off in search of the Soul Edge once again with Yun-seong at her side. She would constantly warn him of its evil powers but he didn't seemed to care. One day they were approached by a girl, Seong Mi-na, who knew Yun-seong since childhood. This stranger to Talim was obviously like a sister to Yun-seong as she quickly lectured him on the evil the Soul Edge possessed.
The three of them camped out that night and when Talim awoke in the morning, she found that Yun-seong had taken off in the middle of the night. Talim and Soul Calibur IV - PS3 XB360/Character Guide/Seong Mi-na|Seong Mi-na]] exchanged good-byes. Talim set off on the trail of the Soul Edge in hopes of finding Yun-seong.
Unlocking Talim costs 4,000 gold at the character creation screen.
Tactics
Talim is almost and exclusively close range combat character. She's quick but her damage output is very weak. Also some of her attacks involve her jumping around and over her opponent which is great for confusing your opponent, but could also lead to an unwanted ring-out.
