Profile-eltnum.png

She slaughters. The path she carved for herself, and those who follow in it. The potential
hidden within the have-nots, she has come to witness for herself. The threads of fate play a
trick, and the actress must once more perform. The perfect distraction from certain boredom.
Until the curtains rise on her stage once more.

Story

A mysterious girl who is said to have saved a city from a dark vampire, once upon a time… At least, in appearance. Aside from the fact that she calls herself “Eltnum”, no one knows anything about this character. She suddenly appeared in the dark night, and then returned to darkness equally as fast, earning her the title of “Wanderer”. The Night of a city, which she claims to be her territory. It has become her mission to educate the young rookies in the strict ways of her industry.

My goodness...
Amateurs like you have no idea what I've seen in my years...

Gameplay

Eltnum is a well-rounded character who has tools for most situations, but excels as an “in your face” style rushdown character. With her 5A and 2A whiff cancel vorpal trait, it's extremely scary trying to challenge her meaty options. Eltnum can fight from a variety of ranges with the help of gun shots and ricochet shots. On defense, her kit includes both metered and meterless reversal options, decent anti-assault/throw OSes, and a 5 frame A button.

As well equipped as she is, Eltnum will struggle against a majority of stronger neutral characters in UNICLR. Outside of mid to close range, her moves have slow startup. Her pressure also requires lots of creativity in order to break patient defense, in the case of her strong staggers dissuading mashing. Lastly, Eltnum will suffer greatly from auto-piloting pressure, and needs to play in according to the opponent's shield habits. Overall, juggling resources while carefully watching your opponent is the core gameplan for Eltnum.

More info: Tensei & KFL's Eltnum Primer


Strengths Weaknesses
  • Scary close range pressure.
  • Fast running dash.
  • Multiple plus on block moves.
  • High corner carry in almost all combos.
  • With enhanced bullets, above average damage output, especially with counter hits.
  • Can convert off almost anything with 100 meter or chain shift.
  • Strong defensive options, including a metered DP that leads to a full combo.
  • Decent air options, such as an invincible air DP.
  • 6B overhead which can made safe on block with special cancels.
  • Fast air throw with high reward.
  • Fast gunshot projectiles which act as extended hitboxes.
  • Good anti-zoning options with good reward on hit.
  • Rising j.A hits the deepest, only always whiffs on two characters.
  • Vorpal trait makes rebeat pressure scarier--can threaten to whiff cancel rebeats or not, giving an extra layer to the pressure.
  • Most strong pokes outside of 236A are low; prone to getting low crushed/assaulted.
  • Is prone to being zoned out, relies on winning GRD to get in against zoners.
  • High skill ceiling requiring strong GRD control and consistent execution, dropping combos will prevent reloads which hinders her damage, neutral and pressure.
  • Lacks a metered special to extend pressure with.
  • Requires creativity and good risk/reward understanding to make the opponent unaware of when her pressure is actually over.
  • All plus frame moves are telegraphed, bringing risk to GRD upon using them repeatedly.
  • Poor advantageous matchup spread, but can go even with a majority of the cast.

    • During manual reload, if a button press is timed properly in the white area of the reload gauge, bullets reloaded will become purple which have enhanced properties.
  • Can influence air momentum (Aerial Drift) by holding 4 or 6 after an 8 jump (neutral and super jump cancel off 3C).
  • Can air backdash by inputting 44 or 4AB while aerial.
    • Can also cancel into air backdash from some aerial normals.
Vorpal Trait
  • 5A and 2A can be cancelled on whiff.

If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move.
±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better).
Invul The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute.

Two hit sweep that launches the opponent. Has fairly far reach and extended horizontal hurtbox. Unlike other sweeps, does not cause a tumbling counter hit on trade.

  • Both hits are lows, and both can be special canceled/backdash canceled. Can only gatling additional normals off the second hit.
  • Despite having a long reach and great utility for pokes and confirms, use it with caution against low crushing options.
  • 2nd hit damage has been nerfed in CLR, which is why optimal routing avoids using 2C(2)
  • DON'T just throw out this move-in neutral without thinking, especially if you are in assault range.

11 4 13 27 -5 10-14 Foot

Eltnum short hops and then takes a swing with her leg.

  • Eltnum is considered to be in the air during this move so it can avoid throws and command grabs
  • On hit, this will wall bounce. Can be followed up with 5B almost anywhere on the screen. This it's also considerable easier on Counter Hit.
  • Punishable by most cast members, but can be air backdash cancelled on block.
  • Also it can be cancelled into j.214A to be safe, though this is easier on big hurtbox characters and harder on thin hurtbox characters.
  • Has a potential frametrap option into j.623A on block.

  • Not the most useful attack in Eltnum's arsenal, but has some usage as an anti-air. Inferior to 3C due to worse routing as it sends the opponent away

  • Charged version hits further forward and can be normal, special or jump cancelled only on the first hit.
  • Essentially allows bridging strings back into normals, such as 421B [B+C] 5A.
  • Also used in high damage corner combos, mostly from a 22A Counter Hit starter. Trades a GRD block for notable damage increase.

She grabs the opponent and throws them diagonally downward.

  • Cannot be comboed off if performed as the second hit. (or consequent hits)
  • A+D air throw is unique to Eltnum and Akatsuki.
  • Can be used as an anti air since it would be a 6f anti air (considering jump start up) but it doesn't have any kind of invulnerability.

    • For Full Charge version: Airborne: 1~101, Standing: 102~108.

  • Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health).

  • 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.

  • One of Eltnum's signature moves, it can be used to pressure people at a distance, force approaches and "zone" out characters with short hitboxes.
  • Since the projectile doesn't have any travel time and the hitbox appears in front of Eltnum it can win against a lot of projectiles in mid range in spite of having similar frame data.

Eltnum swings her whip close to the ground snatching the opponent and tripping them.

  • Places Eltnum a short distance away from the opponent relative to their positioning when hit.
  • Catches backdashes and walk backs.
  • Both A and B versions can be used to win against projectiles if they catch their start up or recovery. Eltnum has no hurtbox during the successful hit animation and many projetiles will pass through her.
  • Comboable with resources, normally with 421C and 214C.
  • Can be consistently comboed off of on a raw 214A hit with microdash 2B. This is though a 2f link.

Just like the other versions, but it leaves the opponent in a standing position and approaching you.

  • Can be used as a follow up with a combo or go for a reset.
  • Sometimes used as a meter dump for added damage at the end of combos.
  • At ranges outside of 421C this move can function as Eltnum's fastest long range move as it has 2 frames less startup than 236C. This can give unique punishes or give you a bit more time to punish the recovery an opponent's move.
