Introduction

Happy Chaos, Deadshot, MorriDoom, Nu-13, Peacock, O. Sagat, Steve... Every fighting game franchise had at least one extremely overpowered zoner in their roster, with zoning so powerful they sometimes invalidate entire characters. Ys vs. Trails unfortunately also has one of these beasts, in the form of Mishera. Her zoning is the uncontested best in the game. In fact, it is so good that approaching her as a slow character is nigh impossible. On top of that, she also has access to the strongest defensive Skill in the entire game: Calm Gust. While it does basically no damage, it pushes her opponents extremely far away from her, allowing her to continue her zoning. It also has some armor, which means that it'll also reset neutral at close range. Despite her low combo potential, Mishera's offense is still quite good thanks to an array of multi-hitting projectile that deals tons of stamina damage. While punishes hits hard on her, landing such a punish on a skilled Mishera is very difficult.

If you enjoy cheap zoning that'll get your opponents very salty, or are an agent of chaos, Mishera is right up your alley.

Playstyle

Mishera is a zoning monster with good mobility and the best defensive tools in the game.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Outstanding Zoning: Mishera's toolkit is filled with excellent zoning-oriented attacks and Skills. Excellent Defense: Calm Gust is the best defensive Skill in the game, allowing her to reset zoning no matter where her opponent is. Great Pressure: Mishera's multi-hit Skills allows her to easily snowball her way to victory by breaking her opponents' guard. Good Mobility: Even without any accessories, Mishera's mobility stats are pretty high.

Low Stats: Like all ranged characters, Mishera's stats are overall pretty low, resulting in low damage output and very low survivability.

All damage values below were tested on Estelle (841 DEF). No stats-altering accessory was equipped. Also the values are averaged (see System page)

Movelist

Normal attacks

A	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 74 6 - - Projectile Mishera's basic projectile. Unlike every other ranged characters, Mishera's A doesn't lose in power while moving. Frame data assumes point blank. This applies to all projectile attacks in this page

Charge Attack [A]	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 99 7 - - Soft Armor, Projectile, Homing Big homing projectile. Fairly important move in Mishera's arsenal, since it lets her safely build SP from a distance. Gives 27 SP on contact

j.A

Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 20x3 2 - - - Mishera's only melee attack, and an excellent one at that. On top of being active for a very long time, Mishera can move around during those frames, making it much safer than it initially looks. It's also extremely fast, coming out on frame 2, making it a very good poke. While she can combo out of it, her options are fairly limited. While she can usually only cancel her dashing j.A into grounded Skills, she can cancel them into aerial ones if she performs a frame perfect cancel. This is only really useful for comboing into aerial Cloudburst. Mishera can start moving quickly after the move comes out Launches opponents on hit

Falling Attack j.B	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 74 3 - - Projectile, Homing Shoots a homing projectile that goes downwards. Stops Mishera's vertical momentum, letting her stall in the air

Rising Attack	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 98 9 1 AP - Hard Armor 1-10 "Universal" Rising Attack. It's a basic launcher that has the merit of being armored all the way through. Can be jump or dash cancelled in order to combo

Skills

Cloudburst S1

Version Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties Ground 25, 270 12 14 / 13 / 12 / 12 / 11 - Soft Armor, Projectile Air 25, 270 10 14 / 13 / 12 / 12 / 11 - Soft Armor, Projectile Extremely wide projectile that covers a lot of ground. It works as Mishera's main combo starter, since opponents will be stunned for longer than usual on hit. It can also be jump and walk cancelled very early into the animation, allowing some otherwise impossible combos. However, it has a very long cooldown, so Mishera can usually only fit one Cloudburst per combo. The air version is usually better at zoning, due to coming out 2 frames earlier. It also covers lots of ground, due to Mishera sending the projectiles in a cross-shaped pattern.

Calm Gust S2 Burst, except it costs 13 SP instead of 20% HP Burst, except it costs 13 SP instead of 20% HP	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 55 12 13 / 12 / 12 / 11 / 10 - Soft Armor, Projectile Arguably the best Skill in the entire game. While it does virtually zero damage, its range is gigantic. It also pushes back her opponents pretty far away, allowing Mishera to continue her zoning.

Storm Gust S3	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 510 16 26 / 24 / 23 / 21 / 20 - , Hard Armor 1-4, Soft Armor, Projectile Very good during scrambles at close range. If Mishera gets hit, the projectile will remain active, allowing her to start a combo afterwards. Projectile stays active even when hit

Purge Wind S4	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 610 19 28 / 26 / 24 / 23 / 21 - Hard Armor 1-4, Soft Armor Projectile, Homing Placeholder

Can easily be combo'd into from Cloudburst, for some fairly good damage. 8 frames of freeze upon use. The opponent can still cast Skills or use their assist during the freeze

Aerial Orb S6

Version Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties Windbox 0 8+5 52 / 47 / 45 / 42 / 39 - Hard Armor Projectiles 107x10 8+21 - - Hard Armor, Projectile, Homing Shoots 10 orbs that directly homes onto the opponent. Each orb has a chance of inflicting Poison. Frame data corresponds to the first projectile being shot 8 frames of freeze upon use. The opponent can still cast Skills or use their assist during the freeze

Wind Legion EXTRA Skill	Damage Impact SP Cost Cooldown Properties 105, 114x19 6 100 EXTRA - Invincible, Draw-In An uncharacteristically unremarkable EXTRA Skill. The opponent can still cast Skills or use their assist during the freeze
