Arcana Heart 3/AH3LMSS/Gottfried

Týr Arcana, Gottfried

Introduction

An armored spirit developed by the Drexler Institute, modeled after the Norse god of war, Tyr.

Attributes

Passive

• Speed Sword - Lutze - Depending on the number of times that you activate your Extend Force, the amount of time that it takes to fully charge your E moves will shorten. A pretty plain passive attribute, it takes many stacks to really feel the effects.

Extend Force

• Fusion Sword - Feder - Again, depending on the number of times you activate EF, a couple of properties of your character and Arcana will be strengthened. To be specific, the duration of EF, the recharge time after EF, burst recovery, blaze recovery, and your attack and defense power during EF. These buffs will also be carried between rounds.

It is best to think of it as "points." If you EF or EFC, you will gain more points. You can have a maximum of 16 points to help buff the aforementioned stats, an EF will give you 2 points, an EFC will give you 1. You'll often find more zoning-oriented characters activating EF whenever they can in order to very quickly gain the buffs from Feder.

It's worth noting that at 6 stacks, tyr has burst recovery equal to blossoms (fastest burst in the game). It overtakes blossom at 10 stacks.

Special Moves

Piercing Sword - Salomon

Piercing Sword - Salomon 623E File:AH3 Gottfried 623E.png

Damage Guard Cancel Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Level - - - - - - - - Air ok. Your character will rise into the air a bit, then charge into the opponent with Gottfried. The start-up is a rather slow, but you move forward a good bit, there is almost no recovery, and if you make the opponent block this you get some great frame advantage off of it. It will wall slam on hit and is easy to combo into and out of. This is a plain but good move all around. Good for blockstrings, combo enders, mid range spacing and more.

Launching Sword - Rohm

Launching Sword - Rohm 236E File:AH3 Gottfried 236E.png	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Level - - - - - - - - Summon Gottfried, who will fire a blade towards the opponent. This move is very slow on start-up but is a very strong projectile. It's fast, cannot be neutralized by other projectiles, and non-reflectable. The recovery is also good, but you can't shoot these out repeatedly.

Arcana Supers

Decapitating Sword - Kruger

Decapitating Sword - Kruger 641236E File:AH3 Gottfried 641236E.png	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Level - - - - - - - - Gottfried appears right next to you and slashes upwards. This is air unblockable and will launch your victim upwards, making it easy to combo off of with neutral homing. This sounds great but the move is too slow to be easily used for combos or as an anti-air.

Barrier Sword - Daluege

Barrier Sword - Daluege 214214E File:AH3 Gottfriend 214214E.png

Damage Guard Cancel Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Level - - - - - - - - Gottfried appears in front of you and slams his sword into the ground, creating a wall of lightning behind you and your opponent. In other words, the closer you are to your opponent, the smaller the cage of lightning will be. Regardless of who touches this wall of lightning they will be caught in it and take damage. That means even the player using Tyr. The blue lightning attacks your opponent and the red attacks you. The blue lightning is more towards the interior of the cage, so there are a lot of times where you get hit by your opponent, but get saved by the blue lighting attacking your opponent. The size of the cage depends on the distance between you and your opponent. This move makes quick work of the fat characters (Kira, Cathy, Nazuna) as it's very hard for them to do anything about this move. The start-up after the superflash is the slowest out of all of Gottfried's moves. Fortunately, the move is guaranteed to come out no matter what, even on hit. The damage is somewhat small, but this move is mostly to restrain your opponent's movement. Plus, there's situations where it can be comboed off of very easily. While Gottfried's sword is out, you cannot use any Tyr moves (not even the Arcana Blaze). This move cannot KO the opponent.

Arcana Eclipse

Rapid Sword - Shutrasa 214B+C File:AH3 Arcana 214BC.png	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Level - - - - - - - - Gottfried flies forward horizontally. If he hits the opponent, he locks them in-place and slices them. Generally used to add extra damage as a combo ender.

Arcana Blaze

Gottfried - Tyr 236A+B+C File:AH3 Arcana 236ABC.png	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Level - - - - - - - - This is like a super version of Kruger. However, the start up is way faster is still air unblockable. The second hit, the part where Gottfried rises up, guard crushes.
