Under Night In-Birth/UNICLR/Enkidu

“

He is tortured. The path he takes. What he wants. All because of his desperation. Seeking for a strong opponent with his imperishable body. His refined fist. Where it's heading. The hammer to defeat darkness. Earns a reputation as a disaster. To redeem a pledge with his lost friend.

”

Story

An unnamed fighter of ancient martial arts. So feared was he for his ferocity and strength that soon many erased his very existence from their minds. With no one left to face, he sought to test his mettle against those holding powers beyond mortals, the In-Births. He offers his arm to a Void, but his well-trained muscles prevent the fangs of the Void to penetrate fully, thereby leading to only a vague manifestation of power. Despite this, he continues to seek challengers under the Hollow Night, until one day, a woman appears in front of him and promises him the opponents he seeks. With those words, Enkidu's battle begins.

“

The power manifested within my body is weak. Yes, no different from a mere mortal. Let us see if you can smite me with that power of yours.

”

Gameplay

Enkidu is a decidedly unique mid-ranged footises-oriented character who struggles profoundly with closing in, but can put the rest of the cast to shame with his potential against a cornered opponent. He lacks projectiles, full-screen normals, unreactable mixups, and high-mobility specials, but in exchange, Enkidu has access to Havoc's obscene benefits, some rather crafty hurtbox shifting, and generally remarkably high damage output and meter utility.

Owing to his generally anemic neutral game and unsafe pokes, paired with his high damage output and conversion potential, much of Enkidu’s game plan boils down to one thing- play neutral once. This character is for people that wish to be challenged in the realm of decision making, rather than in terms of their execution or raw game knowledge.

Strengths

Weaknesses

All unsafe pressure can be rendered safe with meter. Absolutely stunning corner throw pressure. For the most part, your stagger windows on normals are especially long. Parry can punish opponents who mash out of blockstun, and keep otherwise easy punishes in check. 4C. It is an anti-air, a projectile eater, a high-power combo starter, and a tool for pulling back your hurtbox. If you can manage its risk on block, it can be remarkably hard to contest. Has consistent and viable safejump setups from 236B and j.236B. Overall high damage output and corner carry, both with and without meter.

Generally unsafe normals and specials. Mediocre reward, if any, from his midscreen throw. Your only overheads are telegraphed and incredibly unsafe. All pressure is high-risk and punishable unless meter is used. No meterless reversal. Parry is inconsistent when dealing with projectiles and large normals. Poorly chosen combo enders and throws can leave you in terrible positions, and force you to play neutral and close in all over again.

Airborne: 1~52, Standing: 53~59. For Full Charge version: Airborne: 1~101, Standing: 102~108. Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate. Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health). You can hold down A+B+C to delay activation and gain a few extra benefits, but doing so is highly unrecommended unless trying to run the clock as this move already has a long start up as is. A+B+C Cross Cast Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch 100+ EXS, Vorpal Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 2 4 20 25 +3 1~19 Full Cancels an action and launches the opponent high into the air on hit. Airborne: 1~25. CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel, you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun. Including in the air. Requires at least 100 meter and consumes vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate. Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from. Grants an additional bounce if both have been used in the combo so far. If the opponent does end up hitting the ground during the combo, damage is prorated. Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth. Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

Thunder Stomp 踏鳴 22X A/B Variation A/B Variation

22A Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - - - - A fast, (relatively) safe stomp with modest combo utility. 22B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - - - - Slower than 22A, but stronger and more useful generally. Can frame trap solidly, and is a powerful meaty with good timing. Excellent early in combos for adding damage without driving up scaling. 22C EX Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - - - - A fast, fearsome stomp that creates a pillar of energy. Arguably the highest utility move in Enkidu's entire kit. Canceling into this can render all of Enkidu's pressure safe- yes, it's that move that was mentioned in Enkidu's pros and cons. Unlike 22A/B, it also has a significant anti-air hitbox.

Must have less than 30% health (orange health) to use. After the cinematic, characters will be moved to the middle of the stage, regardless of where they were positioned before. Due to the cost, it is usually not recommended to use this move unless it will kill the opponent.
