“

She slaughters. The path she carved for herself, and those who follow in it. The potential
hidden within the have-nots, she has come to witness for herself. The threads of fate play a
trick, and the actress must once more perform. The perfect distraction from certain boredom.
Until the curtains rise on her stage once more.

Story

A mysterious girl who is said to have saved a city from a dark vampire, once upon a time… At least, in appearance. Aside from the fact that she calls herself “Eltnum”, no one knows anything about this character. She suddenly appeared in the dark night, and then returned to darkness equally as fast, earning her the title of “Wanderer”. The Night of a city, which she claims to be her territory. It has become her mission to educate the young rookies in the strict ways of her industry.

“

My goodness...
Amateurs like you have no idea what I've seen in my years...

Gameplay

Eltnum is a well-rounded character who has tools for most situations, but excels as an “in your face” style rushdown character. With her 5A and 2A whiff cancel vorpal trait, it's extremely scary trying to challenge her meaty options. Eltnum can fight from a variety of ranges with the help of gun shots and ricochet shots. On defense, her kit includes both metered and meterless reversal options, decent anti-assault/throw OSes, and a 5 frame A button.

As well equipped as she is, Eltnum will struggle against a majority of stronger neutral characters in UNICLR. Outside of mid to close range, her moves have slow startup. Her pressure also requires lots of creativity in order to break patient defense, in the case of her strong staggers dissuading mashing. Lastly, Eltnum will suffer greatly from auto-piloting pressure, and needs to play in according to the opponent's shield habits. Overall, juggling resources while carefully watching your opponent is the core gameplan for Eltnum.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Plethora of Options: Eltnum has a variety of strong close-range and mid-range pokes, powerful reversal options, good tools while in the air, and even a few specials that reach fullscreen. No matter where Eltnum or her opponent is, Eltnum always has some kind of tool to deal with them.
  • Threatening Defense: Eltnum has great counterpokes with her fast 5A and 2B, while also having a meterless invincible DP. None of that compares to her 421C, which is a fast, highly invincible, far-reaching reversal that leads into a full combo. Leaving even a minor gap against Eltnum risks her using 421C to completely change the momentum of the game, especially when she has vorpal.
  • Scary Frame Traps: All of her A and B normals, and some of her C normals, have fantastic stagger windows allowing her to have highly ambiguous up-close pressure. Combine this with her high reward on hits, and opponents will often be scared to push buttons against Eltnum once she gets her offense going.
  • Access to Plus Frames: Eltnum has access to multiple meterless plus frame moves, allowing her to run a tight offense without having to use much resources. While it does require having enhanced bullets most of the time, once she gets them and she’s in, opponents can find themselves in difficult situations if they don’t take risks in shielding or reversaling against her.
  • Lacks an Identity: While Eltnum has a lot of options, she doesn’t necessarily excel at anything. While her up close pressure is notably strong, it pales in comparison to other oppressive rushdown character’s offense. Her other tools in the midrange and fullscreen are all decent, but they are notably worse than characters who specialize in neutral control. She trades versatility for true strength in any one area.
  • Meter Issues: Eltnum requires meter to convert most of her mid-screen and full-screen pokes, causing her to become significantly less frightening in neutral when she has no meter. Additionally, she has no way to use meter to extend pressure, which can cause her to have to sit on her meter on offense if she can’t find the opening.
  • Weak to Shielding: Eltnum struggles to hard punish green shields during her pressure with throws due to her normals having poor frame advantage on block and her telegraphed specials. Opponents can green shield Eltnum’s B and C buttons, forcing Eltnum to either slow her pressure down with no cancels to bait green shields and give them an opportunity to abare out, or continue her pressure and risk losing Vorpal. Many of her plus-on-block options are easily nullified by shields, making her pressure weaker against experienced opponents.
  • Needs Momentum: Eltnum’s enhanced bullets improve her offense and neutral tremendously, but she generally requires a hit to get her enhanced bullets active in a meaningful way. If she can’t find the hit or the opportunity to reload, she can often struggle to get her gameplan started.

Two hit sweep that launches the opponent. Has fairly far reach and extended horizontal hurtbox. Unlike other sweeps, does not cause a tumbling counter hit on trade.

  • Both hits are lows, and both can be special canceled/backdash canceled. Can only gatling additional normals off the second hit.
  • Despite having a long reach and great utility for pokes and confirms, use it with caution against low crushing options.
  • 2nd hit damage has been nerfed in CLR, which is why optimal routing avoids using 2C(2)
  • DON'T just throw out this move-in neutral without thinking, especially if you are in assault range.

  • Punishable by most cast members, but can be air backdash cancelled on block.
  • Also it can be cancelled into j.214A to be safe, though this is easier on big hurtbox characters and harder on thin hurtbox characters.

  • Essentially allows bridging strings back into normals, such as 421B [B+C] 5A.

Eltnum shoots one shot that travels round start distance which is an instant hitbox that is very safe on block being -3.Consumes 1 bullet.

  • One of Eltnum's signature moves, it can be used to pressure people at a distance, force approaches and "zone" out characters with short hitboxes.
  • Since the projectile doesn't have any travel time and the hitbox appears in front of Eltnum it can win against a lot of projectiles in mid range in spite of having similar frame data.
  • Can be confirmed with resources, but most commonly done with 236C.
  • Can be used to hit people ground assaulting on the start up of it.

Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
13 2, (7), 2, (10), 2 34 64 -1 -

Slower but farther than the A version; B shoots 3 times and can be special cancelled on any of the 3 hits. Also with ENH bullets it becomes very safe on block.

  • With ENH bullet it can be used for pressure since it's -1 which is very safe considering the distance it has. This still is MU dependant.

  • Gains additional damage (and visual effect) with an enhanced bullet.
  • Has a fully enhanced version which requires all 13 enhanced bullets, doing significantly more damage.

Eltnum fires a faster ricochet shot that bounces off the floor and the ceiling. Can be converted off of meterlessly at close to medium range.

  • On counter hit, provides ample untech time to go into a full combo, even at full screen.
  • Awesome move for pressure overall, 2C(1) 236[A] ENH is gapless and with purple bullets 236[A] being +3 it's a great pressure reset. This is also stronger in corner pressure.
  • Depending on the MU it can be used to zone or anti zone some characters since it has faster start up and less recovery, but still it has a long start up with 21f

  • Has some rare uses as combo enders and meter dumps but leaves with really bad oki
  • Normally seen in full resources combos into IW or IWEX

Eltnum swings her whip close to the ground snatching the opponent and tripping them.

  • Places Eltnum a short distance away from the opponent relative to their positioning when hit.
  • Catches backdashes and walk backs.
  • Both A and B versions can be used to win against projectiles if they catch their start up or recovery. Eltnum has no hurtbox during the successful hit animation and many projetiles will pass through her.
  • Comboable with resources, normally with 421C and 214C.
  • Can be consistently comboed off of on a raw 214A hit with microdash 2B. This is though a 2f link.
  • Also since the hitbox reaches somewhat high it can catch ground assaults start ups

Just like the other versions, but it leaves the opponent in a standing position and approaching you.

  • Can be used as a follow up with a combo or go for a reset.
  • Sometimes used as a meter dump for added damage at the end of combos.
  • At ranges outside of 421C this move can function as Eltnum's fastest long range move as it has 2 frames less startup than 236C. This can give unique punishes or give you a bit more time to punish the recovery an opponent's move.
