Shortly after [[Shinryu (Dissidia)|Shinryu's]] defeat, the [[Moogle (race)|moogles]] give Locke a [[Crystal (term)|crystal]] to host his memories for [[Materia (Dissidia)|Materia]] to use in the [[Battle of the Gods|upcoming infinitely long war]]. With a crystal doppelgänger of himself to serve on Materia's behalf, Locke returns to his [[World of Balance|home world]]. ==Gameplay== Locke's fighting style is similar to [[Zidane Tribal/Dissidia NT|Zidane]] in terms of using daggers, abilities and gameplay. He can also throw a round bladed boomerang to his opponent as part of his Bravery attacks. He is an Assassin type, and when he attacks foes not targeting him, he deals extra damage and his EX skill Steal becomes Mug. Whether an enemy is currently targeting him is determined at the instant Locke unleashes his attack. His base EX Skill is Steal, which pilfers an item to use at will. The items are revealed on his list, such as Potions and Ethers, which he uses to restore a small amount of HP or Bravery. When he attacks foes not targeting him, Steal becomes Mug, in which he takes a piece of equipment that can be used to unleash a powerful attack. Most items stolen are Master Scroll, Soul of Thamasa and Brigand's Glove, which he uses to increase his attack damage, dealing magic damage and to buff himself to attack his opponents. ===Abilities=== {|class="full-width DFFNT article-table" style="text-align:center" |-class="a" !style="width:15%"|Move !style="width:10%"|Damage !style="width:10%"|Input !style="width:10%"|Type !style="width:10%"|Power !style="width:10%"|Frame Data !style="width:15%"|Image |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Mark the Spot}} |Bravery |[[File:DFF2015 II Icon.png]][[File:DFF2015 Right II.png]] |Ground | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Quickly slice your foe with your daggers. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Moonring Blade}} |Bravery |[[File:DFF2015 Up + II Icon.png]][[File:DFF2015 Right II.png]] |Ground | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Throw your moonring blade at a foe. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Slash & Soar}} |Bravery |[[File:DFF2015 II Icon.png]][[File:DFF2015 Right II.png]] |Dash | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Knock your foe up into the air, then send them hurtling to the ground. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Sideward Slash}} |Bravery |[[File:DFF2015 II Icon.png]][[File:DFF2015 Right II.png]] |Aerial | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Quickly slice your foe with your daggers. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Catch & Release}} |Bravery |[[File:DFF2015 Up + II Icon.png]][[File:DFF2015 Right II.png]] |Aerial | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Pull your enemy in with your moonring blade, then kick them away. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Deadly Chase}} |Bravery |[[File:DFF2015 II Icon.png]][[File:DFF2015 Right II.png]] |Dash | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Charge forward, piercing your adversary multiple times. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{LA|Mirage Dive}} |HP |[[File:DFF2015 IV Icon.png]] | | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Pounce on your foe from close range and strike them with incredible speed. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Ruthless Talons}} |HP |[[File:DFF2015 IV Icon.png]] | | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Jump up and fall straight down with your blades out, or press ↓ + [[File:DFF2015 IV Icon.png]] to dive down, then slash straight up. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{LA|Phoenix Ray}} |HP |[[File:DFF2015 IV Icon.png]] | | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Enlist the aid of Phoenix to cause an explosion at your opponent's position. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{A|Dagger Dance}} |HP |[[File:DFF2015 IV Icon.png]] | | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="5" style="text-align:left"|Cavort toward foes from midrange with a deft series of slashes and kicks. |- !class="b" rowspan="2"|{{LA|Steal}}<br>({{LA|Mug}}) |EX Skill |[[File:DFF2015 I Icon.png]] | - | | |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan=5 style="text-align:left"|Get in close to your foe and take either a potion or an ether from them.

Locke was revealed as the second DLC character of the Season Pass on May 15, 2018. He was released on May 17, 2018 in the arcade version, and was released later in June 2018 on consoles. ===Voice=== Locke is voiced by [[Yūki Ono]] in the Japanese version, who previously voiced him as the "Amnesiac Man" in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy: Secretum]]''. In the English version, he is voiced by [[Jonathan von Mering]].<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://www.reddit.com/r/dissidia/comments/8w03i4/lockes_english_va_is_jonathan_von_mering/| page name = Locke's English VA is Jonathan von Mering| site url = https://www.reddit.com/r/dissidia| site name = /r/dissidia @reddit| access time = 15:07, July 28, 2019 (UTC)}}</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery> Transient Pathfinder.png|Manikin.
