Assist Strategies

• Zoning help: Peacock typically wants some sort of assist that covers some area slightly above and in front of her to cover the dead zone of her zoning, allowing her to throw as many projectiles on screen as she wants and stay safe from most approaches. There are many forms of assist this can take: armored assists that can take the hits, DP assists that stuff out aggressive opponents, lockdown assists that stay in place to cover the deadzone, and even other projectile assists that fill in the gaps between your projectiles.
  • Examples: H Brass (Big Band), H Lock n Load (Bella), Napalm Pillar (Parasoul), H Hurting Hurl (Beowulf), H Spiral (Eliza), H Love Dart (Fukua), H Theonite Beam (Robo)

• Item Drop Setup: Peacock really likes having access to her item drop reset loops (video of peck here), which give her access to one of the best reset loops in the game. She ideally wants some assist that lets her combo, call the assist while charging M item drop, then letting her pick up back the combo into a multiway reset. There are surprisingly numerous amounts of assists that give her access to this.
  • Examples: L or M Beat Extend (Big Band), H Lock n Load (Bella), H Theonite Beam (Robo), Silver Cord (Squigly)

• DP Assists: Peacock loves any sort of get-off-me tool she can get. Access to a dp assist not only gives her another defensive option when the opponent is pressuring her up close, but allows for her to use an Alpha Counter that is invulnerable on startup. This is notably fantastic for peacock, as she builds a great amount of bar that would allow for frequent ACs to take lost momentum back.
  • Examples: L or M Beat Extend (Big Band), H updo (Filia), Napalm Pillar (Parasoul), L Bomber (Double), H Hurting Hurl (Beowulf)

DHCs

• Argus Agony has great utility both as a DHC and being DHC'd from. It's one of the most damaging Level 1 supers in the game, can hit across the screen allowing it to hit very far as a DHC, and can be DHC'd into several other supers to continue a combo from the fullscreen distances (such as Filia's Gregor).
• Lenny is a very strong DHC. It's a safe DHC due to the low recovery, as well as the Lenny itself giving Peacock a good defensive tool as she's coming in, making this DHC hard to challenge. She's also free to combo off of certain supers such as Bella's Dynamo or most supers when near the corner, potentially even integrating in the Lenny's explosion to add on even more damage than you would get from Argus.
• Peacock's level 3 is a hitgrab that hits very fast, making it very useful against armor and/or winning against certain DHC wars.

H Beam

Great assist that helps with zoning, conversions and allows Peacock to set up item drop resets.
