Acceleration of Suguri 2/Star Breaker

Introduction

Witness this planet's end!

Overview

Star Breaker is the 2nd of aos2's 3 boss characters, her gimmick is once again having red and blue attacks, though in her case they apply different kind of debuffs, with her red attacks allowing her to raise her opponents heat and prevent cooling down while her blue attacks drain them of meter.

In game, Star Breaker is a melee heavy zoner type character that heavily relies on constant zoning with her bombs to keep applying debuffs to her opponent, having to set up constant bomb fields to not only apply pressure but also hide behind.

Due to her low speed and somewhat poor cover options outside of bombs Star Breaker is one of the less good characters of this game, though is still one of the more viable low tiers.

Difficulty: Hard

Having a bunch of bad matchups really doesn't help, Star Breaker relies on constant micromanaging of her bombs to seek cover in order to not heat up and get exploded by her opponent, this mixed with her requiring a level of player fundamentals makes her not a very simply character to get behind.
