Personally I think Atlas kit isn't well sewn together, and he falls inbetween being a brawler and a earth/ground entity, which ends up with him being neither.

Do you feel like the abilities I've written makes the frame seem too similar to Atlas?

How so?

Abilities no, thread title however, exatly Atlas. If you changed Boxer for Brawler then maybe.

Do you go to museums and state that pictures were indeed made by using paint? 😜

Atlas's movements as well as his attacks via Landslide (a.k.a. his only ability worth using on him) are heavily inspired by Greek boxing along with most of the lore behind most of the names for him and his abilities.

Not too sure about the ability names, but at least a female boxing frame seems like a somewhat interesting premise.

I wasn't aware that Atlas was inspired by greek boxing! Concerning the names of the abilities I wanted to make names that made it easier to visualize how they worked 

Disregarding Atlas lore I don't feel like he fits archetype DE tried to make. I suppose it's a question of age.

As per Mwys 1st ability; the inspiration was in fact much more found in Kullervos Wrathful Advance.

Where Atlas might be a "Brawler" and a heavy hitter like Rhino, I tried to make Mwy more similar to an agile frame like Gauss.

More like they made earth his primary theme with the Greek mythological aspects as undertones.

That's fair, but I meant trying to find ways of using actual boxing terminology for ability names like "jab", "hook", "haymaker" or even "rope-a-dope".  Could've even used one for the frame's name since "Mwy" a bit of an odd one.

If you take a good look at frames like Atlas and even some more recent frames like Kullervo or even Dante to some extent, DE likes to make some endeavor to respect their sources of inspiration for frames as best they can through frame and ability names.

Mwy is actually thai for boxing! 🤓

When I wrote the abilites I initially wanted to call the ability "Jab" something, but with the second part of the ability being more of a charged punch I couldn't really land a good name for it.

I really like the name I came up with for the third ability though, which I feel really matches with Mwy delivering blast damage while using fist-weapons, and then with that ability spreading the status, adding to the niche of dodging while delivering accuracy debuffs.

Rope-a-dope could be a really cool name for the 2nd ability! 🤩

Well that definitely makes more sense.  I think at least in the US (where I am), it's spelled "muay" so that native American English speakers can almost pronounce it correctly (spoiler alert, not even close, myself included 🤣).

So terms for something like a charged punch could be either "haymaker" or "roundhouse" since I'm guessing it'd start with her arm pulled back before swinging, and that's more or less what those are at least in Western boxing (I'm not sure of the term in Thai boxing).

Since a jab is supposed to be a light punch, I guess she could have an ability called "Jab Volley" that could be just a flurry of punches for a decent frontal melee cleave.

It does kinda makes sense in that regard, although I'd probably recommend something more along the lines of "Drumbeats" or "Echoing Blows" so avoid confusion by players thinking "wait, there are drums?  Is she a musician?" because I wouldn't put it past some English-speaking players.

So the rope-a-dope is a strategy in Western boxing made famous by Muhammad Ali in which you wait out an opponent's offense and then once they've worn themselves out, that's when you take them out.

If I were making a boxing frame concept, that's definitely what I'd use for the defensive ability.
