Quick notes

Samus remains the campaign protagonist. The rival hunters appear as opponents during exploration.
Sylux has a specialized close-range kit. Shock Coil and the Lockjaw alternate form give him a different rhythm from Samus.
Every rival has an alternate form. These forms affect movement and attacks, not just appearance.
Gorea is separate from the hunter rivalry. The message promising power draws the hunters into the Alimbic mystery.

Samus remains the campaign protagonist
