Strengths (advantages)

・If “Turn Up” hits, a high firepower combo is possible even without gauge.
Weaknesses (disadvantages)
・Combo improvisation is required depending on the card placement position.
Standing around
・Far S, 2S, “Mist Finer”etc. to touch the opponent from medium distance. If you are able to knock down the enemy or are far away, actively set up “Deal” to increase the pressure of “Mist Finer”.
・If your opponent is aggressively closing the distance and attacking, we recommend using “Mist Finer” to slash while backstepping. If “Mist Finer” hits, you can take down the enemy, which leads to “Deal”.
ground to ground
・Far S
A stable control technique with a long horizontal reach.
・2S
A drag technique with a long horizontal reach. Although it starts slower than Far S, it has a longer reach, and even if the tip hits, it is excellent in that it can be connected in a combo with “K version Mist Finer”.
・Mist Finer
Mainly using the K version, which has a long horizontal reach, the S version has lower-level techniques, and the P version is excellent for anti-aircraft.
・2HS
A lower technique that attacks while moving forward. It is useful for hunting Bakuste due to its long travel distance.

After “Mist Finer” hits, place the card with “Deal”.

Small stories/techniques
Arcade mode stage 9 strategy
The hidden boss in arcade mode is a reinforced Mei.
Move around keeping the following points in mind.
- We recommend the “HS>K version Mist Finer” combo to start the event. You can attack by backstepping or crushing vertical dolphins.
- Since the horizontal dolphin travel distance is extremely long, it is best not to use “Deal” unless you are knocked down.
- Since the opponent will not use invincible moves with Rebasa, stacking close S is stable for wake attacks.
- Please note that horizontal dolphins and vertical dolphins have hyper armor, so they cannot be dropped with anti-air techniques such as 6P.
- Dolphins and whales will attack automatically, so guard is the priority. This combo may be stopped, but it will be more stable if you attack without worrying too much.
- When this attack is blocked, we recommend holding down “Mist Finer” for a while to apply a delay, as it may hit.
