Ougon Musou Kyoku/EVA Beatrice

Eva Beatrice

Background

Originally some sort of inner being in Eva Ushiromiya, she became a witch after Eva solved the riddle of the Epitaph. She was recognized as Beatrice's successor, and was extremely cruel. She often used her powers to kill and resurrect people multiple times (usually in brutal ways) before finishing them off. She is sometimes referred to in the text as "The Cruel Witch", and later on, "The Black Witch". She is the main antagonist in Banquet of the Golden Witch.

Introduction

Strengths

Weaknesses

Good close to mid range game: Good air to airs and pokes, and very ranged lows, with good ways to convert them into oki, allow her to go into her trademarked pressure game. Amazing pressure with Jelly: When the opponent is both cornered and has a Jelly in front of them, EVA's pressure can feel extremely overwhelming, thanks to high/lows, an airdash to get back in, a divekick, and 2 command grabs. Great metered options: An Eva with meter has access to a much faster spider web, a loopable air grab, a grounded command grab, a guard crush tool, a reliable reversal with a convenient input, and an amazing MetaSuper, all of which are extremely useful and make her much scarier. Access to unprorated damage: Eva's j.63214SP air grab (which, as a grab, isn't affected by some forms of prorate) is loopable and allows her to deal high amounts of burst damage once she gets a meter advantage over the opponent. Eva isn't a high-damage character overall and this capability is situational (as it's expensive and often depends on being able to MetaDeclare uncontested), but it makes her capable of doing damage in scenarios where damage is usually low (high-hitcount stun combos), a valuable trait. Berserk: Her ability is one that every character can make use of, making her a very easy character to fit in many teams.

Weak to zoning: While she has an air-dash, it's best used in pressure. Her kit is designed around staying close to the opponent, but doesn't have much in terms of actually getting there. Commital buttons: All of her B and C normals have hefty amounts of recovery (and both the 214 and 236 series have large amounts of startup), meaning Eva's neutral is highly commital unless she's under the protection of a jelly. Poor anti-air game: Eva lacks a traditional anti-air (her idea of an anti-air is her air grab - a high-risk, low-reward option which requires proximity to function). Easy to shutdown pressure without Jelly: Her pressure is full of resets, so if there isn't a Jelly to stop them, the opponent can very easily escape it. Berserk: Her ability is simple to a fault. It doesn't help her or her partner in other ways that isn't just more damage, and unlike Battler's, it doesn't help unless she gets the hit. This ends up making her teams end up feeling like just two strong individual characters rather than having much synergy between them. It doesn't help that it's only 7 seconds duration, meaning other abilities during MetaWorld get shortened due to it.

Health - 1450.

Berserk - Increases attack power for a short period of time. (+25%, grabs are not affected)

Will hit OTG against Rosa, Beatice, Virgilia, Willard, Kanon, Eva, Chiester, Ronove, Lambdadelta, Jessica, George, Erika, Dlanor, Bernkastel. This will allow you to then run cancel into TK Air command grab (EX or regular). This, however, is very hard to perform.

Knocks down on hit. Similarly to f.5B, has really good range but is horrible to whiff. Also a risky, but very important normal. Its risk, in neutral, can be mitigated with the presence of jelly. 2C > 22A sets-up some of Eva's strongest oki. On-block, most-often cancelled into 214B (which catches jump-out attempts), 236A/B/C (which has a large gap, but resets pressure), 236SP (which has a very small gap while resetting pressure), or 22A (a defensive jelly).

Dream of Flying 「空を飛ぶ夢」 j.63214A/B/C

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 360 x 1 ? ? UNB - KD x x Eva grabs the opponent in mid-air and brings them straight down to slam into the ground. A slightly delayed 2B can be used as a meaty. All versions are identical. It is possible to grab an knocked down opponent with it if its performed with a TK motion right after hitting the opponent OTG. This is only possible with either cancelling an OTG hit into MetaDeclare, or f.5C OTG into Dash Cancel inro TK air grab (the f.5C OTG only works on a portion of the cast, though - see f.5C's description for list) Very useful to catch airborne opponents, especially after a successful MetaDeclare Since EVA lacks traditional anti-airs (as a lot of characters do, in Ougon), a preemptive j.63214X is a useful (albeit horrible to whiff) anti-air option

SP Supers

Spider Crush 「蜘蛛潰し」 236A+B

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 549 x 22 ? ? HL - KD +10 x Eva spawns a spider web. If it lands, she pulls the opponent in and hits them with her staff which forces a wallslam. Hits low. In the corner, the wallslam allows for a follow-up combo with 5B > 5C > j.B j.C > j.63214X Due to the much smaller startup than 236A/B/C and large frame advantage on-block, 236A+B allows EVA to nearly guarantee a pressure reset: 5C/2C > 236A+B has very little gap between hits, and cannot be jumped-out of. However, the gap does exist, and can be exploited for backdashes (in which EVA still recovers faster than the opponent), MetaDeclares, or reversals. With jelly in play, though, this becomes much scarier for the opponent.

Special Giant Jelly 「スペシャル巨大ゼリー」 22A+B

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 543 x 46 ? ? H - KD +10 x After a slight delay, Eva summons a giant purple jelly immediately in front of her that knocks down on hit. Overhead. Does 50% guard break. If set-up with a knocked-down opponent, it can lead to guard break sequences that force a response from the opponent (be it taking the 22A+B hit, or Guard/Assault/Damage Touching), making 22A+B very useful when closing rounds Once the animation reaches the part where Eva lowers her arm after raising it the Jelly is summoned and it will come down regardless if Eva is hit afterwards.

Imperial Wrath of the Tyrant 「暴君の逆鱗」 214A+B

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 526 x 15 2, 2, 3, 1 ? HL, H - KD -14 x Eva Does her 214 series in a row, ending in her 214C. Last hit is overhead. Invincibility in the first portion of the special makes it a reliable reversal. Despite being quite negative on-block, the sequence puts the opponent quite far from EVA, making it much harder for them to get a punish

Be Careful around Iron Railings 「でも鉄柵には気を付けて」 j.63214A+B

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 693 x 1 ? ? UNB - KD - x Eva grabs the opponent out of the air and slams them down onto a pointed, iron railing. Midscreen, Eva has enough time to drop do 22A in order to drop a red jelly in front of the opponent and run up to them for a meaty attack. In the corner, the jelly will appear behind the opponent unless Eva moves back slightly. This gives less time for oki. It is possible to grab a knocked down opponent, after an OTG hit. This means OTG > Dash Cancel/MetaDeclare > TK j.63214A+B combos, and allows for SP air grab loops (in which EVA alternates between the Dash Cancel and MetaDeclare methods, to allow time for the Touch meter to regenerate). The dash cancel version is only possible with a 5C OTG, however, and only works on a portion of the cast, making the loops somewhat character-specific. Since j.63214X isn't affected by some forms of prorate, j.63214A+B loops provide a very solid method for large damage after a stun. This gives EVA a role, in team-building, that not many other characters can fit.

Exclusive SP Super

All You Can Eat Chocolate and Rare Cheese 「チョコとレアチーズの食べ放題」 63214A+B Whiff animation Whiff animation

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 660 - 1 - 31 (whiff) UNB - KD x x Eva kicks the opponent, stunning them, then buries them under a mountain of chocolate and rare cheese. Acts as a grab. Being frame 1 (as all command grabs in Ougon are), it acts as a secondary reversal. Allows time for a 2C OTG, which can lead to SP air grab loops (see j.63214A+B for details)

Level 2 Super

Why don't you just drop dead?「ヘソ噛んで死んじゃえヴァ」 236236C

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 645 - 7 9 25 HL - KD -7 x Eva slides forward the screen. If she hits the opponent, initiates a 7 hit combo that ends with a wallslam. Doesn't fit naturally into the end of EVA's metered combo routes, and competes with her SP specials for meter (each of which provides a niche that EVA very much appreciates). Knocks down, but doesn't lead to jelly setups anywhere on screen. Both of these make 236236C an expensive and very situational option.

Meta Super

Closed Room of Spiderwebs 「蜘蛛の巣の密室」 641236C during MetaWorld Whiff animation Whiff animation

Damage RecDamage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv Hit Adv Block Invul 798 x 1 x 45 (total) UNB - KD x x Instant activation time making this a great meta-reversal. One of the reasons EVA is a scary character. The combination of large horizontal range and meta-based instant activation means that an EVA with meter has a nearly-guaranteed way to escape pressure, by MetaDeclaring as soon as hitstun/blockstun ends. Acts as a grab Unaffected by Berserk. Builds slightly more than 1 bar of meter for Eva's partner while not building any meter for the opponent's partner. Doesn't allow for a full jelly setup, but still permits a "jelly+meaty" sequence, with dash > 22A > dash 2C. Without jelly, though, EVA has time to approach however she prefers. Overall amazing super, and with an even better animation The only downside is that the long duration pretty much guarantees that EVA's MetaWorld presence will be over as soon as the super connects.

Strategy

General Strategy:

  Eva's Jellies

A Version

• If Eva is a distance from the enemy midscreen, she can throw this out to help her close the gap. It creates a wall for the enemy since if they try to attack Eva, they'll hit the jelly first which will allow them to be punished. Eva can use this move to setup okizeme in the corner to prevent damage touches or some reversals.
  

B Version

• Eva can use this to setup okizeme midscreen if she can land this behind the opponent. The opponent now loses their option to backdash and now their only ways to escape is to jump or guard touch. This jelly remains stationary which means if Eva combos or pressures the enemy, the jelly will negate the pushback.
  

C Version

• Can be used midscreen to force opponent to jump backwards over it allowing Eva to anti-air easily, or let themselves get trapped between Eva and the jelly as the C jelly moves back towards Eva.
  

EX Version

• Very slow startup, which means that Eva should not do this unless the opponent is knocked down. If you can get a oki setup, you can force them to either block the jelly and loses 50% of their guard meter, get hit, or assault touch out of it.

Pressure

  2A > 2A > 5B > ...

This is a good general purpose string. The second 2A always combos into the 5B so it's very consistent. After the 5B you have multiple options. 2C for a low, 6C for a high or going for a reset with 236A/B. Not doing the 5B or second 5A lets you do tick throws. Other options include doing jelly after a blocked C move after 5B. But that can be negated by a quick A move from an attentive opponent. After a 2A you can delay a bit and then activate Meta. If it goes through there is a good chance that you are in range for her MetaSuper. Be aware that 5C and 2C don't combo after 5B at max range.

Team Building

Feel free to edit this part of the wiki with your tips/strats what partners are best for EVA to use. Remember I'm watching you.

The information displayed here is from the 2022 Team Tier List from the Ougon Discord Thus, it is open to change, but it should work as a building block for people looking for team pairing ideas. If you are a player of any of the teams and want to change anything feel free to do so.

Reasons to choose EVA-Beatrice for your team:

• Eva is amongst the most solid characters in Ougon, not needing much support for her to work fine, thanks to her balanced kit and good general ability. If anything, her biggest problem would be middling damage for a rushdown character without Meta. Her ability is also a bit too simple for her own good, not helping her in neutral, which is her most difficult aspect, at all.
• Her standout point however is Jelly pressure, so whichever character can either help her set it up or also benefit from it will tend to be a better partner for Eva. She is a very solid character that, while not dominant, is overall very strong in many aspects, so really, most team compositions will be okay with her.

Image	Team composition	1 Bar of Health	Notable information
	EVA-Beatrice/Ange	2850	Could be better overall, one of Ange’s better teams but there’s little reason to pick Eva over Rono. StunBoost can help Eva get her setups and Berserk fixes Ange’s damage.
	EVA-Beatrice/Battler	2850	A team with no weak points, although the big damage setups even with Eva’s ability can be a bit situational. Expect to dominate almost any character in neutral. The prospect of Attack Touching to Eva adds a dimension of threat to Battler’s pressure that he really wants. Generally quite honest, you just win most exchanges and shut down the opponent’s options bit by bit. Entirely carried by how good the individual characters are, they have no special synergy. Well, Resurrection combined with jelly can give you some breathing room. You could say this team is remarkably balanced; it does well both offensively and defensively.
	EVA-Beatrice/Black Battler	2450	Berserk and Massacre have a direct synergy, but this isn’t really enough to offset Black Battler’s lower health. Battler is the better option for Eva, but she does complement BB’s more offensive playstyle. These two find it surprisingly hard to stun. Great neutral and hard to hit, but ultimately Black Battler probably isn’t worth it. There may be marginally less need for BB’s meterless reversal because of Eva’s jelly too.
	EVA-Beatrice/Beatrice	2850	The pressure and damage setups these two create together can never be overlooked. Eva will handle neutral and drive the opponent into the corner, so Beatrice can start her setplay for even more damage than usual, then you switch back into Eva and begin jelly setplay on top of it all. Eva’s command grabs also have the rare property of feeding a little more SP back into Beato. That said you will struggle to catch some opponents to begin with; Lambdadelta, Kanon and Ronove can all annoy this pair quite a bit. Regardless of the matchup though, once they get going, their killing power is some of the best in the game.
	EVA-Beatrice/Bernkastel	2650	Bernkastel has a special appreciation for Berserk over CounterBoost or StunBoost because it boosts her overall damage without forcing her to shorten her juggles. Eva’s threatening MetaWorld presence also appreciates the extra time MetaBoost gives, and both characters’ MetaSuper helps maintain the SP needed to hog MetaWorld. The reason this team isn't amazing is just that Beato/Bern and Beato/Eva pretty much do the same thing but better. Well, this team has better neutral than Beato/Eva, but it’s not really enough to justify the lower damage, stun, and lack of foolproof setplay.
	EVA-Beatrice/Chiester 410	2900	410, whose damage isn’t great, appreciates the boost from Berserk, and Eva’s SP jelly and spiderweb are prime recipients for BreakBoost, so there’s some ability synergy here. Eva can also make decent use of 410’s MetaSuper as the slightest opening means a command grab for her. Can be extremely hard to hit when used right, but it’s not clear why someone should use 410 over Luci, at least after the first guardbreak. The reason this team isn’t great is just its lack of snowballing momentum for a team that overall revolves around big damage.
	EVA-Beatrice/Dlanor	2950	Hits hard and is bulky, but these two have no reason to pick each other. Dlanor’s main damage comes from grabs which aren’t affected by Berserk.
	EVA-Beatrice/Erika	2750	Very complementary neutral for these two, the opponent is going to have trouble approaching. Eva makes good use of Force Counter too compared to some characters. Nevertheless these two struggle to deal with pressure and their movesets come together a bit awkwardly, such that they can’t exactly play rushdown. *You’ll have to rely on mixup and short combos combined with fairly slow pressure. Both gain options in MetaWorld which is nice, but Erika’s MetaSuper does not benefit from Berserk which isn’t as nice.
	EVA-Beatrice/George	2850	Both have low stun which isn’t fun, they also have no real synergy. Berserk helps George’s damage a bit, but Battler’s the obviously preferable choice for Eva here. George is a little better at mixup, but not enough to use him as Eva has her own anyway.
	EVA-Beatrice/Jessica	2850	Potentially solid neutral and very high damage combined with pretty deadly pressure. If you can do Jessica’s link, there’s a neat trick where you can do it multiple times against yellow or green jelly, but you’re not too likely to see that often in general play. Nevertheless these two have a lot of stun and killing power between them, and their corner is a big kill zone. Jessica loves Berserk but overall this team is good because its two members are so individually good. You want to keep pressure up pretty much constantly to prevent Jessica from becoming a weak link in neutral. If you can do that this team is very hard to hit. Faster and more direct than Jess/Beato, but less damage (for what that’s worth).
	EVA-Beatrice/Kanon	2650	Good, but Eva’s command grabs mean she doesn’t really need Silent Attack to accumulate meter advantage. She prefers Luci’s moveset and ability. Kanon can Wolf Jump freely with jelly up in the corner though, which is nice. A pretty mixup-heavy team. Kanon’s damage isn’t the highest so he can appreciate Berserk to bring it up to par. Still there’s no real reason not to pick Will for Kanon instead, as SPCancel boosts his damage similarly in practicality and Will overall suits his style better: he’s more about confirms than pressure.
	EVA-Beatrice/LambdaDelta	2650	Both decent characters but completely overshadowed by other choices for one another. Berserk improves precious comet damage before guard capacity increases and Eva can combo off comet somewhat. But both prefer Beato.
	EVA-Beatrice/Lucifer	2650	A solid and surprisingly damaging team that is difficult for just about anyone to approach, but it struggles defensively when the opponent has momentum. You want to sustain careful pressure and pick the opponent apart with threatening MetaDeclarations and forcing Damage Touch. Plays kind of similarly to Bat/Luci, opt for resets sometimes and these two will maintain a meter advantage without much difficulty. Neither tend to spend it in neutral. Lucifer greatly appreciates the boost from Berserk, as damage is her main shortcoming. Lucifer’s own ability can mean free MetaSupers for Eva too, which means SP advantage. The main strength of this team is that it’s strong against many high-tier teams; Will and Bern in particular struggle with this pair. Both have low stun, so while you’ll be hard to hit, don’t be careless. These two have really annoying hurtboxes.
	EVA-Beatrice/Ronove	3100	The similar playstyles these two have go together very well. This team has good bulk, high damage, amazing pressure and is extremely punishing of any mistake from the opponent. Has no real weaknesses, except maybe projectile-heavy play like you see from Lambda and Bern. Your opponent will be forced to play defensively which is really difficult for some teams. Similar to Bat/Rono, you might want to get creative as apart from Eva’s overheads and crossups this team lacks any major mixup or guardbreak setups, but this is no major shortcoming.
	EVA-Beatrice/Rosa	2950	The combination between Detachment and jelly setups mean this team can sustain pressure remarkably well. This team mostly thrives on shutting down the opponent’s options by preventing Touch and dominating neutral, but it can’t play too patiently for fear of Detachment wearing off. It’s a fairly bulky rushdown team and your opponent will probably spend a lot of time in the corner. No major weaknesses, but both of these characters can struggle against faster ones. You might want to play safe to begin with before you get momentum.
	EVA-Beatrice/Shannon	3000	Berserk can boost Shannon’s corner loop without increasing the stun which is nice, but these two have no other synergy. No reason to pick Shannon over Beato. AutoGuard with jelly is overkill.
	EVA-Beatrice/Virgilia	2950	Both function best in the corner and Eva can handle pushing them into it. Pretty insane pressure and great damage once they get going, but it’s hard to justify why you would pick Lia over Beato here. Neither reacts particularly well to pressure which can be an issue. No special moveset synergy here, but this team brings the best out of Lia’s high damage-dealing potential and Brimful can also pair well with jelly stall.
	EVA-Beatrice/Willard	2850	Excellent neutral and highly damaging, although Berserk won’t affect Will’s MetaSuper it will add damage to his juggles without increasing his stun, which he likes. Eva has a few uses for SPCancel, for one she can sneak in a reversal before using her MetaSuper, but this isn’t that useful for the cost. It can help her mixup. Still, each would probably be hard-pressed to pick the other over Beato, whose ability to guardbreak easily in additionto her fusion of both of these characters’ roles is kind of important. This team has better neutral than those counterpart teams though, so it’s safer and more adaptable.

Combos

Feel free to edit this part of the wiki with your tips/strats what combos to use. Remember I'm watching you.

Combo	Damage	Cost	Meter Gain	Location
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > 214B/22x	958	0	65%	Anywhere
Bread and butter combo. Eva can use either 214B to knock the enemy away, or use 22x to setup oki.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > 214A+B	1217	1SP	100%	Anywhere
214A+B has to be delayed, otherwise it will whiff after the first hit on some characters.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 66 > 6B > 66 2B > 5C > j.9B > j.9C > j.63214X	1474	0	105%	Anywhere
Dash cancel into 6B has to be done immediately, so it can be tricky.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > A+B+C > 66 > 2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 641236C	1708	1SP	200%	Anywhere
Bread and butter Meta combo. Eva can replace her Meta Super with 2C > 22x for an oki setup.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > A+B+C > 6B > 66 > 2B > 5C > 9j.B > j.C > 63214x	2110	1SP	105%	Anywhere
Another possible Meta combo. Bypasses enemy ability to burst, more execution heavy.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 236A+B > 2B > 5C > j.B > j.C > 63214x	2020	1SP	105%	Corner
Corner only combo. Eva must be a good distance away from the wall, or 236A+B will whiff.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > A+B+C > 66 2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 236A+B > 2B > 5C > 29 j.B > j.C	2558	2SP	200%	Corner Corner Carry
Causes stun on most characters. Leaves enough meta gauge by the end to use your meta super if you want to. By the time you have to do 236A+B you should be already in the corner otherwise it wont work.
OTG 2B > 2C > Metadeclare > TK j.63214X/SP		0/1SP		Anywhere
OTG combo ending in her air command grab. Strict timing. Only requirements are to be close enough and still not activated metaworld TK= tigerknee motion
