Profile
The Impostor from Innersloth's online multiplayer deduction game Among Us is the main (and only) character in Among Us Arena.
While there is only one playable character, you can select 20 different colors, each with their own dedicated special move and unique taunt, performed using the Sus button and quickly tapping down three times in a row respectively.
Basics
| Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Pressure: It's easy for the Impostor to lock down their opponent. Make them block enough jabs, and you're free to force devastating mixups.
- Versatility: Combined with oppressive close range pressure, Guns and j.5k allow the Impostor to claim dominion over any range with proper spacing and timing.
- Conversions: Fast moves and a plethora of gatlings create opportunities for 50% damage combos off of most hits.
- Movement: The impostor has grown quite agile over time, threatening even mid-screen ranges with dash punishes and pokes.
|
- 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: Making the most of your hits will require demanding execution and pinpoint reactions, getting exponentially harder as combos get longer.

- Has one hit of armor.
- Overhead if partially or fully charged.
- K input in the table above represents uncharged version; {K} input corresponds to partial charge and [K] to full charge
Super-armored, holdable knife stab that becomes an overhead if you charge it. (It doesn't need to be fully charged to become overhead.) Fully charged, this does hefty damage but is slow.
- If any version of the move hits a midair enemy, they will be grounded.
If your armor is hit once, you can cancel the startup of the move by dashing, allowing for the KADC technique.

- Slides forward.
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.
Slides forward moderately, allowing dangerous range for punishes with dashes or extended combo routes when cancelled in and out of repeatedly.

- Large, fast anti air.
- Launcher/combo tool in corner.
Your safest anti air, but not as rewarding as other options.
it is not recommended to use this move against a grounded opponent close up, even as part of a pressure/chip string. The 2nd hit whiffs on many occasions and a variety of invincible options blow it up completely.

- 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. Power falls off drastically at distances, but is the only option at ranges that far.

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

- Requires full meter
- Infinite armor on startup (no damage)
The default super move. Eats up attacks, hits full screen and does good damage as a combo ender. Very unsafe if blocked, but not from a distance.
Works as a reversal, but is best reserved for far 5G hitconfirms or combo damage.
Generally not as interesting or as freeform when compared to the other two supers.

- Requires 50% Meter.
- Larger hitbox if the opponent is in hitstun or performing a move (dashes are considered moves.)
- Whiffs entirely on blocking opponents. No chip.
- Air OK
A shockwave emanates around the impostor, hitting enemies in a moderate radius. Strong anti air, consistent combo extension tool, especially on several color specific combos. The low price of just 50% meter allows you to retain a burst if desired. The move will go straight through blocking opponents if used raw, not even doing chip damage, and will have horrible range if the opponent isn't in a vulnerable state.
