Story

Due to the effects of coming back from a "certain accident," her vampiric impulses and overwhelming desires have taken over. Driven by instinct, she arrives in a lowly human city. Controlled by pure emotion, her actions and words are quite dangerous, but her underlying personality remains mostly unchanged. The only big difference is her increased selfishness and changed attitude toward humans.

Gameplay

Red Arcueid, sometimes shortened to Warc, is a well rounded character with emphasis on mobility and neutral control. Her ring projectiles and strong air buttons control the neutral, while her fast dash and slippery teleports can slip right past the opponent to keep her safe and them off balance. Once in, her many forward moving buttons, corner throw combos, standing overhead, and armored charge normals make her a real threat in pressure.

Strengths

Weaknesses

The skirt's back! Comboable throw in corner: Can combo off her throw in the corner for 2000+ damage and more meter gain than typical throws. This also allows her to dump meter to make them extra damaging if needed, being able to deal over 4000 damage from a fatal counter if resources are spent. As a result her strike/throw game in the corner is especially potent. Big Armored Moves: Having a grounded overhead in 5[B] is already good enough in Type Lumina, but the armor on that move as well as 5[C] and (to a lesser extent) j.2C makes Red Arcueid very scary to carelessly swing at. Commanding Presence: With good movement speed, teleports, strong projectiles, and a robust aerial toolkit to boot, Red Arcueid is at home frustrating her opponents in the neutral game. Strong metered options: With an EX DP for clashes or desparate wakeups, an invincible teleporting hitgrab (that's safe on block!), strong EX fireballs as combo enders, and a giant air unblockable Arc Drive, Warc has no shortage of good ways to spend meter in any situation. Simple, stable okizeme: After airthrow or j214C ender, Warc can make the opponent block a deep falling j214A. Depending on the spacing and setup, this can be almost unilaterally reversal safe while remaining very plus on block, letting her run her standard strike/throw game afterwards.

Weak midscreen throw: Her throw cannot be comboed off of midscreen, dealing less damage than with a typical throw. It doesn't lead to knockdown, either, so you can't continue pressure afterwards. Subpar Moon Skills: Outside of Moon Drive, her Moon Skills aren't really anything special. (j)4BC is pretty good, but Warc usually wants to save her moon gauge for Drive. Situationally low reward: Despite the obvious strengths of her air and ground fireballs, they often don't lead to much on hit. Even with meter, they don't lead to much damage, assuming the hit can even be converted at all. If your fireballs get dashed under or jumped over, Warc is likely to eat three times the damage she would have dealt on hit. 6F 2A: Given that her 2A is slightly slower, Warc occasionally has to choose between being able to Anti-DP OS with 5A vs hitting low with 2A, or between mashing a 5F normal while standing or a 6F one while crouching. No more menacing laugh: :(

• Fairly standard 5A and fastest normal.
• Best option for rebeats, as it has the lowest total duration of all her moves.
• Can be used as an anti-air of last resort against IADs or bad jump-ins, to mash out of pressure if you're unafraid of lows, or as a low-commitment check in neutral.

• Very limited range, mostly combo and blockstring filler.
• Advances Warc forward a bit, but it's very stubby, so be careful about whiffing it.
• Can only be charged a little bit (a few frames at most) without getting 5[B].
• It shares the same startup animation as the charged overhead version, so you can part-charge to try and make your opponent flinch, then catch them off-guard with 2A or 2B.

• Very powerful button; an advancing, armoured overhead which is fully rebeatable on block and leads to good damage on hit.
• Has two hits, but only one of them will hit overhead. If the first hit connects, the second will hit mid; but if only the second hit connects, it will hit overhead.
• Can be used as a sort of janky poke or anti-air in neutral by armouring through a button or jump-in and punishing the recovery.
• The armour will lose to EX moves and throws, but it will eat through meterless/moon-skill DPs without stopping.
• You will press this a lot, and your opponent will hate it. Even if they can consistently react to the overhead, the advancing property makes it useful in pressure anyway, and it makes mashing low shield very risky to boot.

• Gains some range over the uncharged version, as well as advancing Warc forward a bit. It's also armoured like 5[B]!
• Very good combo tool as well, most high-damage routes will use it in some way.
• A strong frametrap option in pressure, given it's an advancing armoured move and all.
• Armour does start up fairly late, and it can be easily jumped over, so it's not the strongest poke in neutral, but it's still pretty good.

• Standard jA poke.
• Can be repeated 3 times on hit/block if you hold 4, like 2A and 5A.
• A solid low-committal way to cover air-space. You can whiff cancel into j214A, or airdash into jB if you see them jumping at you.
• Hits overhead quickly out of IAD as well.
• Rising jA is usually your best "anti-air" option as well. Welcome to Melty Blood!

• Two hits, one above Warc and one below.
• Very strong air space control option, but you don't have any air options if it whiffs, so be careful about over-committing to it.
• IAD jB will usually whiff on crouchers, but it still reaches high diagonally in the air, so it's a good way to swat people out of the sky.
• Can be used as a double overhead option out of j[C] jump-ins or high IADs.

• It doesn't reach that far below you, but still farther than the other air normals, so it's your strongest "standard" jump-in and best way to catch people running under you.

• Gains a bunch of clash frames, like other charged j[C]s, so it can power through air normals and win air exchanges as long as you have time to charge it.
• Does lots of damage in combos, but usually requires specific routes to get it to connect.
• You don't have time to do this out of IAD, and the flash comes out too late to jumpscare people with. You do have time to charge it enough to flash after 623[A]/[B], but it still won't actually hit.

• Briefly vanishes before lunging forward almost fullscreen. Warc will pass through the opponent and switch sides on hit or block, as long as she's close enough. At max range, she'll stay in front.
• Does not hit as a crossup, can be blocked in either direction.
• Useful combo tool, especially if you want to side-swap. You can also use it in neutral to force your way in, or as a burst option to catch landing recovery from air normals or specials.
• Cancelling into 236A immediately is gapless and only -2 on block, at a favourable spacing; immediate 236B has a gap but will trade favourably with 6F normals and give you a combo while still only being -3 on block. If the 6C hits, 236A will let you convert but 236B usually will not.

• Followup to 2C, can only be done on block or hit, not whiff.
• Hits mid and advances Warc forward a bit.
• Mostly a filler for corner combos, as it wallbounces and lets you do a ton of damage. Or you can use it midscreen ​to gain a lot of corner carry.
• It's decent in pressure, as it's an extra frametrap option and it's only -1 on 5A rebeat, but it's nothing special. It does advance Warc forward a bit, but it also has a ton of pushback, so it doesn't make much difference.

• Armoured air normal, best used as a combo extender. Does strange things to your air momentum.
• You can try using it as an air counter-poke, but it's not very reliable. The armour kicks in fairly late, too.
• Will almost always whiff on crouchers and is usually fairly unsafe if they block it on or near the ground. You have absolutely no cancel options until you hit the ground, too.
• Does not hard knockdown, and generally not a good combo ender. However, when it hits low to the ground, you can link 5A afterwards and continue your combo that way. This allows for much better routes off Shield Counter, 3C and 6BC, among other things.

• Autocombo linker.
• Advancing normal with a decent hitbox, hits diagonally and can AA people occasionally, but it's nothing spectacular.
• Can't rebeat into other normals besides Rapid Beat 3, so it's not a great option in pressure. You can special cancel into 236A to become -2 instead of -10, and it will auto-confirm if the rapid beat hit.

• Midscreen, flings them away and lets them air-tech afterwards. You can try to chase, but you usually essentially return to neutral.
• In the corner, however, you have time to 2B or 2C before they hit the ground, netting you a full confirm.
• If you're a little bit outside of the corner, you can still occasionally pickup with 5CCC.
• Throw combos are super scaled, but EX moves still do quite a bit of damage. Meter dumping after a corner throw is a great way to close out rounds.

• Only gives KD on Fatal Counter and can be shielded on reaction to superflash in some situations, though.
• Good option to win clashes (e.g. after hitting moon-skills) with, given the invulnerability.
• While it is air unblockable, if they're not doing anything in the air they can shield after flash and kill you for trying.
• You can use this after 214A/B whiffs in neutral to try punishing them for jumping in, but see above re: shielding.

• Nearly fullscreen teleport hitgrab that switches sides on hit.
• Not a true reversal, but invincible after the flash. You will probably die if you try this on wakeup. Takes the meter immediately, before the superflash, so you can just lose a bar for no reason if you're careless.
• Great for punishing projectiles, whiffs, Heats, etc, or for challenging pressure resets (rebeats, IADs, redashes).
• Wallbounces for combo extensions if they reach the corner.
• Can try to use this post-clash, but usually loses or just clashes again rather than winning outright like 236C.
• Midscreen, you need to use Moon Drive for an extension, but it will give you a fairly advantageous hard knockdown if you don't do anything, even as a combo ender.

• More committal than 214A, if they jump at you you might die, but it can catch people off-guard if they were expecting only one fireball.
• However, you can EX cancel on whiff, so you can 236C or 623C on reaction to them jumping in (even 236BC, if you're willing to bet it all).
• You can also Moon Drive cancel, which is safer and lets you confirm the situation before you commit to anything.

• Technically the only source of guaranteed plus-frames in your grounded kit, but as it's only +2 it's not the strongest use of the meter.

• A very solid neutral tool that covers a lot of space. Key to running reversal safe pressure after knockdowns.
• You roughly retain your air momentum from before throwing it, so you usually want to do this with airdash momentum or on the way down to make you plus or safe on block. Doing it while rising leaves you quite vulnerable.
• You can't act again until you reach the ground, and there's a bit of landing recovery, so be wary of people dashing under you.

• Often your go-to combo ender as it does lots of damage, is easy to route into, and gives a really good knockdown with a lot of corner carry.
• Also lets you convert stray j214A/j214BB hits that otherwise wouldn't lead to anything.
• As an ender, gives you enough frame advantage to run up and set a meaty ring, or do funny 623[X] safejump pranks.

• Moon Skill DP.
• Outside of Moon Drive, it's okay. It's pretty big, fast and tall for a 7f move, but it's air blockable and doesn't have any invuln or clash frames. You can cancel into j214C at the peak to make it more advantageous, at least.
• In Moon Drive, however, it's really powerful, as it gains clash frames through the entire move. It's a very strong reversal option as long as they don't shield it, as you can clash right through their offence if used at the right time.
• Leads to a full confirm using j2C as well, dealing quite a bit of damage. Very scary option in Moon Drive overall.
• Jump-cancellable on hit, block or whiff whether you're in Moon Drive or not. However, if shielded, you lose the ability to jump-cancel so you will assuredly die.

• Similar to 623B, a teleport which travels about 3/4 of the screen and can side-switch.
• It's much faster and has less recovery than 623B, but unlike other grounded moonskills it doesn't gain clash in Moon Drive, and it doesn't have any actual invuln.
• Decent option to cross under your opponent while they're in the air, or ambush them with an unexpected approach or sideswitch.

• Double-hitting fireball. Very very quick, and can net a full confirm if you're in 2C range or have meter.
• Goes fullscreen, unlike 214A/B. Good way to whiff-punish, counter-zone or check fullscreen heats.
• Also gains clash frames through the duration in Moon Drive. Another very ignorant option to mash when you're Drived up.
• It's generally safer than 6BC; they may have a hard time punishing it even with Shield if the spacing is poor, but it's not quite as rewarding on hit. It's slower, too, so it's easier for them to jump-cancel into Shield on the clash.

• Double air fireball. Effectively multiplies your current air momentum when input, so it's like j214A but juiced.
• Both fireballs comes out at slightly different angles, and the angles change a bit during Moon Drive as well.
• If either fireball connects with the opponent in any way, you gain the ability to jump-cancel the move's recovery. Though if you're too fast, you can cancel the move before the second fireball comes out. If both fireballs whiff, you can't do anything until you hit the ground.
• Fairly strong pressure reset and neutral control option, especially if you can make sure they block at least one fireball. Also part of Warc's strong combo air ender, j4BC superjump j[C] j214BB j214C.
• Probably the strongest Moon Skill outside of Moon Drive, and pretty good move overall.

• Giant full-screen wave.
• Air unblockable, but can be shielded on reaction to the flash, so don't get too wild with it.
• Strong full-screen whiff-punish option, or to convert off of far fireball hits, or as your big-money combo ender.
• Has invulnerability so you can use it as a reversal if you feel like dicerolling really hard (or after Moon Drive)
• Surprisingly hard to punish from any distance outside point-blank as well.
