Scorn of the Moon

Mark-and-recapture dive swordfighterResource: MoonlightDifficulty

A midrange sword who paints Moonlight on the opponent with Crescent Strike, then spends it with Lunar Rush to reopen her gatlings for a whole second chain. Pick her if you like confirming into a meterless double string that carries to the wall from anywhere.

236H marks, Rush spends, and the second chain cashes the EX Moonfall: the drag pulls them in and the new forward send carries them out, reaching the wall from mid-screen.

Awakening pays for the second recapture: Rush does not spend the mark, so the chain opens twice instead of once. The biggest single-spend route she has.

The close Crescent's short mark (120f) is enough: Rush recaptures and the EX drag finishes. The easiest mark to place, so the beginner's recapture route.

Combo notes

Mark, recapture, second chain (the spine): 5L 5M 5H 236M 6U 5L 5M 5H. Cancel the Crescent into 6U as soon as it hits, then run the chain again. End the second chain on 2H jc j.L j.M j.H for the knockdown, or on a special or super.
Pick the Crescent by what comes after. 236L is the easiest mark. 236H holds longest and opens most of her top routes. Any of them is enough for an immediate 6U.
Cash-outs after the second chain:
- 623EX (50 Style) for the big drag toward the wall.
- 236EX (50 Style) to leave them marked.
- Skybound (100 Style) for the wallstick and the +25% on a live mark.
- Awakening (100 Style) for the most damage from one spend.
Two legs, no meter: 5L 5M 5H 236H 6U 5L 5M 5H 3H 5L 5M 5H 623H. 3H knocks down, the 5L pickup opens a new leg with a fresh special cancel, and 623H flings them at the wall.
Cascade glue: 5L 5M 5U 6U 236M. Here the Rush is unmarked, so it doesn't reopen normals. It only special-cancels into the mark.
Already marked: if Moonlight is live when you open (a j.U jump-in, a blocked 236EX), start straight from 6U: 6U 5L 5M 5H 623EX or 6U 5L 5M 5H Skybound.
Style Cancel: a Style Cancel after the first 236M buys a second Crescent without spending the leg boundary: 5L 5M 5H 236M SC 5L 5M 5H 236H 6U 5L 5M 5H 623EX.
Style Dash: after the second chain's 236EX or 623H, an up Style Dash (SDC8) chases the launched body for j.M j.H.
Corner: the sends already carry, so mid-screen routes finish at the wall. With the opponent cornered, the two-leg route into Awakening is her corner damage answer.
Autocombo: mashing L walks 5L 5M 5H 236M, then Skybound at 100 Style or 623EX at 50. The recapture is manual: press 6U yourself after the Crescent.
