General Gameplan
- Vatista is a character with simple but strong tools who is capable of dictating the pace of most matchups. Because of the strengths of her tool kit, she can be played in many different styles: extreme passivity or aggression are both valid. However, changing up tempo and approaches to neutral situations on the fly is encouraged, if not necessary.
- Because of her dash, she is a character that benefits greatly from backing off and setting up obstacles rather than engaging directly. Vatista must *back off* before she can advance safely! She does this by jumping back and using a projectile (j[4]6x). After backing off, she can either poke from fullscreen with lazers or set up A lumen ([4]6A) in order to mount her approach. Once A Lumen is out, she can safely dashblock behind it in order to close the distance and set up pressure.
- It is very easy to throw projectiles as Vatista and lose a great deal of GRD. In order to win vorpal cycles, Vatista must leverage gems. Gems allow Vatista to concentrate and threaten to detonate them if an opponent approaches recklessly. She can do this at close range with 5A or at a long distance with 5C. Because of the nature of the vorpal cycle, using gems effectively is imperative in order to play Vatista successfully.
- When Vatista is knocked down, she is far from defenseless. She has access to flashkicks ([2]8x) that make pressuring her tricky. She can antiair assaults, blow up gaps in blockstrings, and even use flashkicks as a throw OS. When she has vorpal, these threats go up significantly, as she is rarely in a situation where she cannot CS a gap and successfully reversal.
- Once Vatista scores a clean hit, she is capable of running very strong pressure resets with gems and can leverage the threat of throw or nearly-unreactable high/low mixups in the form of her B drill ([8]2B), an instant overhead. Her offensive capabilities go through the roof when she has CS available, and many setups have no clear counterplay, so getting knocked down by Vatista when she has CS available can be a very scary situation.
- Vatista is just as capable of playing keep-away as she is of running a vortex-like series of mixups to melt the opponent's health bar. It's valuable to know how to balance her strong defensive and offensive capabilities to come out on top of every situation.
