Assist Strategies

Eliza can benefit well from any type of assist, but there are four main areas of weakness that she likes having patched up by her assists.

• Opening Up Upbackers: Eliza's constant overhead pressure is one of her biggest strengths, which leads many opponents to hold upback to escape her pressure. A low assist or anti-air grab assist can be great to punish them for doing this or prevent them from doing it in the first place.
  • Examples: H A-Train (Big Band), Cilia Clide (Double), L Hurting Hurl (Beowulf), 2HP (Squigly), Excellabella (Cerebella)
• Lockdown: A good lockdown assist can allow Eliza to transition her pokes into pressure, or improve the risk/reward of her lows.
  • Examples: Cerecopter (Cerebella), H Drill (Fukua), L Bomber (Double), 5HP (Robo), 2HP(Squigly)
• Neutral: Eliza can sometimes struggle to get in and start her pressure, so she likes having a long-range assist that's hard to contest to allow her to close the gap while it dominates neutral.
  • Examples: H Lock N Load (Cerebella), H Beam (Robo), H Brass (Big Band), H Bomber (Double), L George (Peacock), L Shot (Parasoul), H Hurting Hurl (Beowulf)
• Defense: With her only <3 meter defensive tool being vulnerable to throws, Eliza can struggle when she gets hit. Invulnerable or armored assists can really help her out in that regard.
  • Examples: L Beat Extend (Big Band), H Updo (Filia), L Bomber (Double), Napalm Pillar (Parasoul), H Lock N Load (Cerebella), H Brass (Big Band), H Hurting Hurl (Beowulf)

DHCs

• Lady of Slaughter can be tricky to DHC from efficiently. Some supers that work well are; SBO (Squigly), Hatred Install (Painwheel), Lenny followed by Argus (Peacock), Magnetic Trap (Robo), Airwulf (Beowulf)
• For some teams Nekhbet Breaker will do slightly less damage up front, but allow for a more efficient DHC
• When you DHC into Eliza, Khepri Sun allows for a follow up combo if you keep OTG available.

Tagging

• Eliza's tag-in gives her teammates more chances to safely tag-out since Eliza's tag-in is easy to combo into
• Eliza's tag-in is like her 236MK but with much faster start-up so it's a good anti-air move but very punishable on block
• She can tag-out and let her teammates tag-in safely with a combo into the sliding knockdown of 5HKx2 but you need to not use OTG beforehand

Assist Combos

L Bomber

The invincibility helps Eliza's horrible defense and the 2 hits on block can give enough time for Eliza to start her airdash pressure.

Napalm Pillar

The tall hitbox of the pillar helps Eliza with the big weakness of her dp, low hitbox.
