Under Night In-Birth/UNICLR/Vatista

“

She serves. A pawn that sleeps eternally. A puppet with no will to call her own. Her master, nowhere to be seen. There is but one directive that resonates to this day -- the end of peace is the beginning of war. To destroy the Voids once and for all.

”

Story

An ancient biological form known as Autonomic Nerves. They've existed for as long as we know, arguably an eternity, and emerge during the Hollow Night as its enforcers. She is one of them. On this Hollow Night, she detects an abnormal number of EXS levels, and awakens. Once awake, she wanders the Night as her program deems fit, making her way towards the Abyss. Her mission, to determine the source of the disturbance in EXS and eliminate it. But to her, Voids and In-Births are all enemies.

“

Neither one of us is a human... Thus, I will perform your last rites, and proceed.

”

Gameplay

Vatista is an incredibly versatile and extremely powerful charge character that excels in both controlling neutral with oppressive projectiles like Mico Ruseo and Lumen Stella, as well as utilising Si Deus Fragmentum 'Gems' and Transvolans in up close pressure for extremely scary throw and high/low mixups. Rounded out by an incredible defense with her signature Ruber Angels 'Flashkick', she is an technically demanding character able to easily switch between proactive offense and reactive defense, leaving no two Vatista players playing exactly alike.

Despite all of her strengths, Vatista lacks the mobility that comes with a run, as well as the consistency of being able to constantly access specials or an Anti air. Without Si Deus Fragmentum sets or Vorpal, her frame trap game with specials has a lot to be desired, and with a gameplan that feeds GRD to the opponent for free, knowing how to structure and mix up your offense becomes even more important.

Strengths

Weaknesses

CANNOT BE COUNTERHIT! Extremely versatile at all ranges. Excellent space control thanks to normals like 2C and 5C, as well as Si Deus Fragmentum Gems. Some of the best neutral and defensive options in the game. Above average damage from good starters and reversal-safe okizeme off every starter. Extremely strong high-low mixups. Very high/unlimited skill cap due to charge management and tricks like partitioning.

Very high execution and steep learning curve. Outside of okizeme and use of Si Deus Fragmentum, She has weaker close range pressure (poor rebeats, slow normals, below average stagger windows) Poor flexibility in strings due to the commitment of Charge specials and Negative Edge. Very poor horizontal mobility. Struggles against characters who control the mid/long range like Yuzuriha, Phonon, Merkava, Hilda and Chaos.

Attribute	Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile
Startup	Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash.
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish.

Overall	Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). 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).

Veil Off

A+B+C Normal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch, Wall Bounce, GRD Break 100+ EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 20 2 [7 (3 on hit) on landing] 58 (54 on hit) -13 1~30 Full A+B+C Full Charge Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch, Wall Bounce, GRD Break 100+ EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 68 2 [7 (2 on hit) on landing] 108 (103 on hit) -14 1~91 Full Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit. 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.
