Starrk	• The Full Res works by alternating between gun strikes and twin sword strikes that you may change from swords to weapons with the X cero if you happen to deal sufficient harm with it • I personally don’t just like the unreliable stance switching and the sword strikes are inferior to the gun ones which is why Starrk is B for Full Res and A total with Segunda • The Full Res will be good in gun mode as a result of your most important device Z with weapons now guardbreaks • The gun X can be a robust one-time nuke that you may arrange with Wolves to deal wonderful harm • The Segunda makes this far more dependable with you all the time being in gun mode and your crit and T dealing wonderful harm (T stunlocks so if you happen to hit somebody they’re taking the entire thing) • Nice stun-locking ranged choice for zoning and ranged combos

B-Tier Full Res and Segunda Etapa

B-Tier	Notes

Satan	• Satan is a bit mid for Full Res as a result of the Z simply goes additional, X is extra AOE, and C guardbreaks which is arguably one of many higher strikes • For Segunda you’re taking a look at extra AOE harm which is fairly good and raises Satan from C-Tier to B-Tier however I nonetheless anticipated extra right here • General if you happen to’re going to play Satan the Segunda is what you need as a result of the Full Res is underwhelming
Phoenix	• The Full Res might have been so good with the Z turret spawning if not for the actual fact of a loud sound impact that tells you precisely when it is advisable parry • However that’s it for Full Res… I had a lot hope for Phoenix because of its Rei debuffs • The Segunda expands the turret mechanic with extra turrets however they’re nonetheless simple to parry because of the sound • The T transfer is an honest harm seize and G is definitely actually good for AOE harm and strain which saves the Res from C-Tier • You additionally get a one-time use lifesteal transfer with C so that is positively not a C-Tier Res however I did anticipate much more enjoying across the Rei siphon mechanic from the bottom
Bone	• The Full Res for bone actually makes it a bit worse as a result of whereas the Z is best the C not stuns round you however goes from outward to inward which makes it more durable to combo from • The segunda is hit and miss with the T cost being only a standalone transfer that doesn’t combo and the G being a very good AOE knockup that you may combo from with feints into the brand new vital • The brand new vital is fairly first rate because of its velocity and it does ragdoll so you may combo off of it too so Bone is ideal for B-Tier being saved from C by the Segunda

C-Tier Full Res and Segunda Etapa

C-Tier	Notes
Spirit	• Spirit’s Full Res Z is definitely fairly good as a result of it true combos into Rising Swallow and Floating Strikes as you’re falling • That stated X and C don’t enhance a lot dealing a bit extra harm and being only a bit extra helpful • The Segunda T is a fairly huge harm burst • The G is an AOE stun that’s simply dodged and your base strikes keep the identical so total you continue to should work exhausting to land T so I’m not the most important fan of Spirit having used it
Horse	• Horse is underwhelming and barely underpowered in comparison with the others • For Full Res your principally get a sluggish wind-up crit that’s horrible in 1v1s • You additionally get some utility strikes to tug foes round and you’ll combo Z into C properly but it surely simply does horrible harm for Meta requirements so I might skip Horse • The Seguna can be underwhelming total as a result of the bottom Z, X and C package drags it down with low harm
