Profile
The Impostor from Innersloth's online multiplayer deduction game Among Us is the main (and only) character in Among Us Arena.
There is only one playable character, but you can select 15 (+1) different colors, each with their own unique taunt.
Basics
| Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Unique: Only character in the game.
- Match-up Spread: Impostor has no losing match ups.
- Versatility: Combined with oppressive close range pressure, Guns and j.5k allow Impostor to claim dominion over any range with proper spacing and timing.
- Conversions: High hitstun and gatlings create opportunities for 70% damage combos off of any hit, except for j.G and far 5G
- Super: Full screen beam creates absurd damage opportunities from any hit. Long enough combos can even build 100% meter, bumping up damage all over the place.
|
- Match-up Spread: Impostor has no winning match ups.
- Defense/Volatlity: Very committal defensive options. Losing rounds off of one opening and one mixup means you'll be guessing for game very often off a single mistake.
- Unforgiving Execution: Opportunities for near-100% combos are common, but will require very lengthy and precise sequences, with mistakes being just as fatal.

- Has one hit of armor.
- Overhead if partially or fully charged.
- Charged values in [brackets.]
Super-armored, holdable, knife stab that becomes an overhead if you charge it (doesn't need to be fully charged to become overhead). Fully charged, this does good damage but causes a groundbounce.

Zoning and combo tool with heavy damage. Long startup makes it very reactable, so only use it at range, or when you feel absolutely safe. Dangerous with super.

Key mixup tool. Deceptively long, and can be cancelled back into 5L to continue pressure.
When chaining between 2L and 5L, there is a slight cooldown on 2L.

- Invincible during start-up.
- Launches opponent on hit.
Key whiff punisher and primary combo tool. Can be used as a reversal on a variety of situations due to an invulnerable startup, but not on frame 1.

- Large, fast anti air.
- Launcher/combo tool in corner.
Your safest anti air, but not as rewarding as other options.
Be very careful doing this move close up as part of a chip kill. The defender can mash super before the 2nd hit.

- Pressing j.4K will cause a shorter dash.
Burst movement and offense with crossup potential, with the risk of eating huge combo damage if blocked. j.4K is usually preferred over j.K in combos.

- Dominant Neutral tool.
- Recoils backward on shot.
- Groundbounces if opponent is airborne
- Good air to air with gun hitbox.
Important zoning tool. Allows you to chip and wall your opponent out while keeping you in relatively safe distance with the backwards recoil. Along with 5G, this move creates lengthy zoning wars that are tiring to come out on top of. Not unbeatable, though.

True reversal alongside super. Risky and easy to play around, but destroys meaty setups, lousy crossups and even works against far 5G/j.G, up to the tip of the muzzle flash.

- Requires full meter
- Invincible startup.
Your super move. Beats counter, hits full screen and does insane damage as a combo ender. Very unsafe if blocked, but not from a distance.
Works as a reversal, but the risk relegates the move's use to a damage nuke at the end of every combo.
