S-Tier Schrift

A-Tier Schrift

A-Tier Schrift	Notes
Butterfly	• They nerfed Butterfly G’s cooldown and in addition made it so you possibly can’t movestack anymore again in September 2024 • That stated G remains to be a extremely quick transfer that may combo into different assaults rather well • T can also be fairly good because it’s an AOE mini-stun that serves as an excellent combo extender • General Butterfly has some nice combo potential and is a viable choose in any rank
Explode	• The T has guard break and ragdolls and is nice for permitting you to increase into different strikes like Quick Bang, Flash Minimize, Black Claw, Earth Shatter, and so forth. (Nice with Velocity and Hakuda) • The G is de facto good for sustaining a combo because it extends the air time in your opponent • General I believe it’s similar to Butterfly for comboing so I worth them the identical
Zombie	• I largely like Zombie for the G counter because it true combos into quite a lot of different Velocity-Kendo-Kido strikes • In any other case, the Zombie passive is de facto area of interest and nearly ineffective in excessive rank 1v1s although it’s good in open world noob-stomping and crew fights since it really works like a Kyoka clone • T doesn’t have a lot synergy with different strikes however is a fairly respectable AOE cone harm in entrance of you
Stability	• Stability has acquired quite a few nerfs over the previous months with the removing of hyperarmor, lessening the stun impact, and so forth. • That stated Stability remains to be fairly good since T nonetheless guardbreaks and offers you Order to heal together with your passive • G is the principle heal that sustains you and buffs your crew or offers harm should you maintain however I wouldn’t maintain it because the heal is healthier • General whereas it’s not so good as it was once it nonetheless presents glorious maintain in excessive rank PVP
Deathdealing	• Deathdealing is such an superior Schrift as a result of it’s so versatile and works on any construct like Kido/Flash/Kenpo and even Floor Hakuda as a result of G flashstep disable • Your passive Deadly Dosage will ramp up an enormous harm burst together with your strikes that explodes and ragdolls enemies after they attain 100 (Executes on low HP) • T is an uncounterable transfer with excessive posture harm that simply ramps up Deadly Dosage passive • G is a superb space management spell (each defensively in ganks or offensively for chasedown) because it disables flashsteps and in addition ramps up Deadly Dosage • Simply be aware that good gamers will at all times attempt to get out of G with stuff like Dropping Fang, Time Minimize, Eviscerate, and so forth.

B-Tier Schrift

C-Tier Schrift

C-Tier Schrift	Notes
Visionary	• Visionary obtained huge nerfs by way of not with the ability to movestack anymore so it sort of falls of closely • T not movestacks into different strikes and is straightforward to parry • G is fairly okay with the knockback however a lot slower and extra simply punished since you possibly can’t hit enemies in entrance of you who get shut and put stress because it misses them • The passives with the T harm discount and extremely parry with G when on full Creativeness is okay however not sufficient to put this increased than C-Tier for me personally
Concern	• The principle downside I’ve with Concern is that it’s predictable since you possibly can see the T transfer coming a mile away you possibly can simply block it or counter it • That stated should you can pull it off the T transfer does stun sufficient for a real combo into one thing like a Rising Swallow or Floating Strikes • G doesn’t try this a lot harm and its solely actual use is slowing • General that is an underpowered Schrift however it’s not ineffective for D-Tier

D-Tier Schrift

D-Tier Schrift	Notes
Obligatory	• Whereas T has been buffed to extend its pace it’s nonetheless a blockable transfer • G doesn’t even guardbreak although it does good posture • General this can be a very weak Schrift however nonetheless extra usable than Royal and X Axis
Royal	• Royal actually wants a buff since each T and G have big windups/gradual animations which are simply punished • They’re each hyperarmor and guardbreak strikes however that isn’t actually value since your opponent could have ages to dodge or punish you • This may flip into an A-Tier or increased Schrift in the event that they pace up the beginning animations on the strikes
X Axis	• That is the ranged fight Schrift and the largest downside with it’s that Kind Soul fights get actual shut actual fast with plenty of mobility strikes • That signifies that the T and G gradual start-up animation like with Royal sucks because you’ll simply get punished • As a base Schrift that is in all probability the worst one within the sport

B-Tier Voltstanding	Notes
Zombie	• If the Zombie corpse revive passive wasn’t so area of interest this could be a significantly better fashion, particularly now that they maintain their mode should you increase in Volt (For instance should you might simply increase random corpses with out having to grip) • That stated, Z is fairly good as a result of it’s an immediate harm burst scaling with how a lot Blood they’ve and in the event that they’re on 100% it’s an extended stun that true combos into the whole lot (Auto-executes if low HP) • X is total weak however respectable for beginning combos as a result of skeleton hit stun whereas C is simply total respectable mobility & harm that applies Blood • Basically, Zombie is respectable however when in comparison with A and S it’s only a bit weak since quite a lot of energy is in that zombie passive that not often triggers
Thunderbolt	• The Volt weapon offers respectable M1 harm however the Crit is healthier as a result of it ragdolls so you possibly can combo into Kendo and Velocity strikes simply • Z and X are leaping strikes however X is the higher one as a result of it has hyperarmor disabling flashsteps • C strikes all enemies round you and disables their flashsteps so each X and C are good into G • General viable however as as overpowered as the upper tiers
Concern	• Concern has an okay moveset however the one purpose it’s not in C-Tier is as a result of stacking of the Z and the Concern Volt aura Mindbreak passive beautiful enemies permitting you to true combo into strikes • Which means you’re actually encourages to maintain the melee stress going so I like utilizing Velocity quite a bit together right here • Z additionally applies the passive round you so it’s one other good combo begin • X is an effective reposition should you utilized Mindbreak however are a bit additional away so it’s a combo connector whereas C is simply meh harm poke

C-Tier Volt

C-Tier Voltstanding	Notes
Energy	• Don’t get me mistaken, Energy Vollstandig strikes do actually nice harm and AOE however they simply don’t combo effectively collectively • There’s no innate synergy so your playstyle will largely be making an attempt to land every transfer individually for good harm • Greater-tier Volts provide extra utility and combos so Energy is IMO a C-Tier although miles higher than Iron and Complusory
Iron	• Iron’s Voltstanding is much like Energy the place it has good strikes however they simply don’t actually combo effectively collectively • The Z is a hyperarmor projectile that offers good harm and X is identical however melee AOE • C is a extremely quick body 1 counter however it doesn’t actually true stun so that is total C-Tier

D-Tier Volt

D-Tier Voltstanding	Notes
Obligatory	• One of many weaker Volts as a result of the strikes simply do random stuff with out having a lot synergy or combos • Z offers okay harm, X stuns and C is simply dangerous in my view because it’s anti-combo potential • I’d skip Obligatory
