The Blade Dancer

Setplay blade-field reset combosResource: FervorDifficulty

A blade dancer who throws blades that stay where they land, then Bladesurges to them and cuts through everything in between. Flawless Duet marks the opponent Unsteady, and a Bladesurge into that mark resets her combo. Pick her if you like placing pieces on the stage and writing long, self-extending routes.

Startup counts the first active frame. On Block / On Hit are measured by running each move in the real sim against a standing dummy at the closest range it connects from, point blank where possible. Hover any value for details.

Bladesurge to a blade. With a blade in range, she arrives at it facing the opponent, and the whole path is the hit. A blade behind them makes it a crossup. Without one, it's a short dash slash that's plus on hit and minus on block. On hit it cancels into the next blade or back into the series. It also picks up hard knockdowns (3H, j.H).

Flawless Duet236L236M236H236EX

Flawless Duet. Two blades meet at a point in front of her: 236L near, 236M mid, 236H far. The strike doesn't extend her hurtbox. It's a stun that marks the opponent Unsteady, and all versions are plus on hit and minus on block. If a blade is planted in range, it flies in to the meeting point and cuts everything between. On hit it hands back into the blade moves, or into 623 for the reset.

Bladesurge623L623M623H623EX

Bladesurge. The reset move. On an Unsteady opponent, any version resets (see Unique Mechanic), and a Bladesurge into the mark is always allowed while you have resets left. 623L/623M hand back into the blade moves on hit.

Blade Recall22L22M22H22EX

Blade Recall. No hitbox of its own. Every planted blade flies back to her, hitting once through whatever stands between and dragging the opponent toward her. Higher strengths fly faster and hit harder. Refused if no blade is out. Hands back into the blade moves on hit: 2U 22M 5U 6U.

Vanguard's Edge. A wall of blades thrown across the screen. It staggers with long stun, barely pushes, wallsticks, marks Unsteady, and plants a blade on each side of the opponent. After it, 6U has a target past them and 623 has a mark. Very punishable on block.

Wallstick

Ionian Fervor (Full). A spinning cut with a long stun that opens a long window: four Fervor stacks held the whole time, a third blade allowed, and every blade move and the special cancel fresh. The stun is long enough to run the entire reset loop inside it. Spend it early: 5L 5M 5H Awakening into the loop.
