Among Us Arena/Impostor

Profile

The Impostor from Innersloth's online multiplayer deduction game Among Us is the main (and only) character in Among Us Arena.

Basics

Strengths	Weaknesses
Unique: Only character in the game. Buttons: Impostor has many fast buttons.	Match-up Spread: Impostor has no winning match ups. Mobility: Movement is slow.

Important Moves

5K: Super-Armored, delayable, standing overhead that grants you a full combo on hit.

j.K: a great but slightly risky neutral tool. Also an important move for many combos, due to the ability to link a j.L after this.

2H: long range poke that wallbounces anywhere if it hits. Excellent abuser of the unblockable tipper bug, and also great for extending combos once gravity has started to kick in.

Move List

Standing Normals

5L	Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 40 5 2 13 - - Mid 10 N/A - Basic fast poke. Nothing special, but it does what it's supposed to. Prorate: 95%.

5H	Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 80 11 5 10 - - Mid 20 N/A - moves you forward a lot, making it great for whiff punishes. Will get stuffed by savvy opponents if you try it in neutral, be careful.

5K

Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 120[270] 9[41] 2 11[15] - - Mid[Overhead] 40[50] Launch[Groundbounce] - Charged values in [brackets]. Super-armored, holdable, knife stab that becomes an overhead if you charge it (doesn't need to be fully charged to become overhead). Fully charged, this does a crap ton of damage and groundbounces. You can combo 2H into a full charge 5K in the corner to do a lot of damage.

Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 174 - - - - - - - - - One of your main approach and combo tools, allowing you to burst movement and offense with the possibility of crossing up. You can use it more than once in a jump through cancelling another attack in the air, for example j.K > j.L > j.K. Be wary of using this too often, however. A keen opponent will catch on and punish you hard for misusing it.

Cancelling

• Among Us Arena uses the gatling system.
• Many moves can only be gatlinged on hit creating very fast fluid combos and a slower paced neutral.
