Phantom Breaker: Omnia/Ende

Overview

Ende is a Keep away character who uses their large screen control options to push back the opponent.

While Phantom Breaker: Omnia does'nt offer a traditional Puppeteer character, Ende and his robotic companion Nitaku would be the next best thing. The duo mostly fight as one, how ever some of Nitaku's special like Light Shiden and Raiden will have different properties base Ende prior actions. For example light Shiden has Nitaku fire a beam at his current location, Ende can manipulate this by jumping, ducking or using certain chain attacks. The only time Nitaku act independently from Ende is from their KARURA special, a special that leaves an active hitbox on screen for 130 frames, allowing Ende to do what ever they want like a pseudo puppet character.

Ende can dominate the neutral game thanks to his powerful zoning, but more importantly, Ende can shut done other zoners. Shiden can win majority of projectile wars thank to his priority and durability. Ende can also his unique 6B missile projectile to discourage clashing with Shiden. If all else fails, ende can fall back Ashura to erase or reflect projectiles, while also pushing back the opponent. Ende with meter can lead to some damaging combo with RAIDEN and KARURA which are both emergency mode safe.

Outside of Neutral Ende has trouble opening up opponents with his weak mix-up. Ende majority of attacks are unsafe on block, needing spacing to limit how harsh he punished. Ende reversal Hein has 23 frames of start-up making it unreliable in most cases outside of preemptive anti-air.

Playstyle

Ende is classified as a Long-Range Tricky. He can keep out opponents with is large space control, this kit also allows him to anti-zone.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Anti zoning: Ende's ability to contest with other zoners is bare none since they have both projectile reflector and nullifier. Strong Keep Away: Ende Specials and C normals pushes the opponent back considerably, allowing them to keep their distance and zone comfortably. TYPE - 24 Karura: This command is Ende All-purpose tool that is able to serve multiple functions, such as Anti-air, Lockdown, Whiff punish, combo filler, and tech chase. High damage: A Zoner who has surprisingly good damage, even from mid-screen confirm. Great defense: Asura pushback to make it really hard to punish for most characters, hein while slow leads to high rewards on hit and can be made safe when charged.

Struggles in air: While a great ground fighter, Ende's aerial game is lackluster, and has a hard time anti-airing consistently. Resource reliant: Ende needs a meter to compliment his game, as he underwhelming outside of neutral. Poor offense Ende needs to create enough pushback on his pressure to be safe from reversal, and his notable mix-up requires strict kara cancel to be effective.

Style Overview

A mix up Focus ende since his light chain can be looped endlessly into high/low mix-ups. Quick style does have the best meter gain which is great for Ende since he's a meter-hungry character. Ende having a slow counter burst weakens its effectiveness, and using stuff lick clock up, emergency mode, and TSURUGI is a heavy burden thanks to overheating. This version of Ende wants to stay up close, so players should play this one.

 A defensive focus Ende since Asura and Hein become better defensive tools, and Mizuchi is a high-reward anti-air that ignores emergency mode. Protection is bar none one of the best defensive tool Ende could ask for, and 4M is a great poke to wall out opponents. Hardstyle poor mobility, and frame data being worst is the least of this style problem. What really hurts is the poor damage scaling, which let opponent live longer than they should. But this may be a small price to pay for hardstyle also living longer and Ende tool offset hard style innate weakness to zoning. 

Build to tension mode, Kurara loops, and profit. It's really that simple to be effective with this style of Ende. While this style lacks the mix-up of quick or the comeback potential of Hard. Omnia lets Ende control the match, Ende has alot of clash tools, and clashing leads to tension and Tension leads to a surplus of ex-moves. While Omnia doesn't have Reflection, Ende can use Hein guard cancel as a replacement. Though not all is well in omnia, no overdrive means no safeguard for whiff or punishable moves, and no emergency mode means no lifeline from a damaging combo or being dizzy.
