Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Fastest movement (Run/Airdash) in the game Very good frame data with a range of fast buttons, large stagger windows and lots of + frames Insane corner carry, Normal throw is a godpress and 236XX will cover an absurd distance on hit. Great mixup with tick throw/63214D Dash, 2B, 2C, and 236X can low profile Can self-stack fire element for consistently high damage High base damage elemental super (623XX) Bionic arm

Has a long sliding animation after running which can cause issues in re-establishing pressure Signifcant non-cancellable dash startup Buttons are overall not great at contesting neutral, especially air to air Command grab is the only throw in the game that can be rolled through. Bad backwards movement DP can be made to whiff easily

Recommended Support Knights

• Evaline: 1-cost ice assist, gives Eternal Flame a projectile to use, lets her combo off her J.D and confirm off it, and lets her counter hit with 5D for corner carry
• Enide: 1-cost wind assist that, when pair with Evaline, lets Eternal Flame get easy corner carry and gives her more opportunities to confirm into her high damage corner routes
• Balin: 2-cost fire assist, can be used as a good combo tool to add more damage and also functions as an addition neutral tool. Also lets you do DP+Assist as a defensive option
• Mordred: 3-cost fire assist, used purely for augmenting her already high damage output. Trades flexibility and consistency for the ability to meter dump for high damage

Normal Moves

5A

5A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 500 M 6 - - -1 - - - Standard jab. Short range

5AA

5AA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 700 M 6 - - +1 - - Fire Gut punch. +1 on block. Good stagger window, Decent hitbox for a jab follow-up, great for frame traps and has fire element. What more to ask for?

5AAA

5AAA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 400*3 M 12 - - +3 - - - Lightning Legs. +3 on block but has considerable pushback. For when you need to frame trap them again.

5AAAA

5AAAA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1800 M 11 - - -4 - - Fire Identical animation to 2C(2). However it is not a low and doesn't knock down. Impossible to frame trap with due to 5AAA's cancel window.

5AAAAA

5AAAAA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 2400 M 17 - - -5 - - - 236-esque auto-combo ender. Builds meter. Lucky last frame trap for the road. Can't perform rekka followups from this move.

5B

5B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1000 M 9 - - -5 - - - Surprisingly large range poke. Reaches as far as 2C. Can't combo into 5C at max range but can combo into 236B.

5C

5C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1900 M 14 - - -5 - - Fire Large range but significant whiff recovery. Risky to use as a poke. Can combo into 236B at max range. Can gatling into 2C indefinitely if it wasn't for pushback, as 5C>2C>5C>2C... is possible on block and on hit.

6C

6C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1400 M 11f - - -8 - - Fire Anti-air. Reaches slightly behind EF to hit cross-ups. Launches on hit. Not much horizontal range but the vertical range isn't bad.

2A

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 400 M 6 - - -4 - - - Standard crouching jab. Can gatling into itself twice before auto-combo.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 900 L 8 - - -8 - - - Low poke. Fairly short range but can sometimes low profile.

2C

2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1200*2 L/M 13 - - 0 - - Fire Only first hit is a low. Second hit has slightly further range. Neutral on block, great pressure tool and poke with good range. Just don't whiff. Can gatling into 5C indefinitely if it wasn't for pushback, as 2C>5C>2C>5C... is possible on block and on hit.

j.A

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 500 H 7 - - - - - - Air to air jab. Short range but can chain into itself infinitely.

j.B

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 800 H 8 - - - - - - Fairly small hitbox and angled 45* can make it awkward to hit. Not a great air normal but its there when you need a fast air to ground button.

j.C

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1800 H 13 - - - - - Fire Infamous air dash jump-in button. A big enough hitbox to hit behind EF and a large amount of untech time with fire element makes it a staple in both neutral and combos. Not jump cancellable on hit or block.

Elemental Attacks

5D

Melt 5D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 2500 M 23 - - -9 - - Fire, Strike Wall bounces on hit. Causes wall bounce into slump on ground counter-hit. Can delete projectiles during active frames and can hit behind. Big frame trap button with good reward.

2D

Phosphorus 2D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1500,500*4 M 14 - - -2 - - Fire, Strike(1), Projectile Gunflame! Amazing pressure tool. Can be up to +23 on block at max range and recovers fast enough to still establish pressure if the opponent rolls through.

j.D

Blaze j.D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 3200 M 14 - - - - - Fire, Projectile The button that makes EF impossible to anti air. EF blasts below her with a huge hitbox and can delete projectiles. Bounces back during active frames and recovers airborne. Knocks down on hit. Not an overhead
