“
She annihilates. Enveloped in the inherited scorching flame.
Admires the name of the clan, takes an oath of the eternal loyalty to Adelheid.
Without forgiving herself. Without loving herself. She only exerts her sword.
Even when goddess smiles upon, her soul is bound to the battlefield.
Treads on the ash of the dead, waits for the judgement at the endless battlefield.
Wagner is not only the pride of Licht Kreis, but its fourth Executor as well. Despite her title as "Fourth", it is no doubt that she is the strongest of all. Her noble upbringing with ancient ties to Licht Kreis has hardened her to complete her missions at all costs. This attitude has lead her to extreme lengths on more than one occasion, and she is reprimanded by being sent into the outside world to gain an understanding on society and common sense. Now on the outside, she receives a mission from Licht Kreis to assist the current Executor there in exterminating Amnesia.
“
I am the cleansing flame of Licht Kreis.
I shall burn your evil thoughts to ashes.
”
Gameplan
Wagner excels at applying pressure at close/mid-range. Key to her gameplan is to spend meter plentifully to maintain advantage and vorpal at all costs. If the opponent wants to maintain distance, use gaps to equip installs and attempt to resume pressure.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Extremely strong corner carry
High damage from most non-A starters, with good oki – this goes hand-in-hand with her having very strong abare
Never-ending pressure strings when having meter or vorpal
Relatively good backdash
Extremely good normals, 5B/5C/6B dominate the spaces they cover against most of the cast
Specials can cancel into each other to prevent the opponent from having room to breathe or attempt a punish
It is often extremely difficult for opponents to keep track of which installs Wagner has available/equipped
With shield install (22B) equipped, her guardpoint moves are extremely powerful and can go through virtually everything except for throws
With shield install (22B) equipped, her guardpoint moves start guardpointing on frame 7, allowing her to reverse the situation against opponents with loose pressure strings
Her horizontal thrust (236A) is both fast (10f) and covers a huge amount of horizontal space, with a surprising amount of vertical coverage. This move by itself prevents many zoners from comfortably applying pressure at range
Has a very good, 5F reversal (623B) that leads into insane damage when combined with vorpal and meter. Notably, her EX reversal (623C) is more difficult to combo with vorpal and leads into worse damage for the meter cost
Has a very good anti-air special (623A) that converts into high damage with meter from any hit
Certain specials can be shielded to end Wagner’s cancel options and provide a punish opportunity
Most of Wagner’s special strings can be fuzzy mashed to beat all of her possible follow-up options
Her overheads are slow and telegraphed, though fortunately not that easy to interrupt (especially when shield install is equipped)
Guardpoint moves can lose to multi-hitting specials or reversals, and will lose to many meter’d reversals, though Wagner can attempt to cancel her guardpoint into her own specials or supers in response
Certain moves can be easily baited or out-spaced
While fast and damaging, she can have issues closing range against some characters without resorting to wild 236A usage
Can install sword and shield buffs which enhance some of her specials.
Vorpal Trait
22A/B recovery decreased.
Enchanted sword chip damage increased.

Attribute
Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile
Startup
Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash.
Active
The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish.
Recovery
Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled.
Overall
Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral.
Advantage
The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better).

This kick is an excellent horizontal poke and punish tool due to being disjointed at the foot. Its recovery is relatively short, making it difficult to punish by itself, on top of having a large stagger window. One of Wagner's best, most commonly used normals.

Steps on you so hard you explode. Safe low hitting move which counts as a special and hits further than it looks. Mostly used for the half-charged Force Function -> Low mixup, to make some improperly spaced moves safe, or throw out an unexpected low if you've conditioned them to look for an overhead.
Can be useful at the end of combos to add a little meter-less damage when you find yourself ending a combo with both buffs already equipped. Because this move exists, You need to input 3AD for 2A Throwtech OS.

Sword hit. A two hit slash fairly similar to Hyde's 6B with slightly shorter range and launches, leading to large combos out of nearly any short set of normals beforehand.
Particularly strong when Rebeat to 5/2A. Rebeating the first hit leaves Wagner even with the opponent, while rebeating the second hit only leaves her at -1.
Can be chained with 5C, [5C], or 6C for juggles. The good range and speed on this move makes it a great pressure tool.

Wagner hops into the air and drops her heel onto her opponent. Slow ground overhead with a pretty big hitbox and good reach with low crush properties.
Will hit grounded opponent but also airborn opponent within its reach, though it is only active as her heel starts to come down past around the 45 degree angle. Special cancellable, mostly used in combos to lead into [FF]. A good juggle and pressure tool in general.

Sword hit. Forward advancing thrust with moderate range. This is faster than a majority of dashing B normals, but is mostly used in combos or as a frame kill before oki in order to bait the opponent into pressing a button or timing your meaty.
66B causes crumple on counter hit for easy confirms, and has a wide special cancel window afterwards for frame traps, particularly with a delayed. After a Sword Install, this move becomes a two-hit attack, which can make confirms easier, but also gives the opponent more time to register that the move made contact.

Sword hit. Dash sword sweep that is special cancel-able. Will catch players attempting to shimmy, walking away, or bckdashing if delayed enough. It's not particularly active, but it does lead to beefier confirms with slightly delayed FF or 214X.
This is generally used as a combo ender, giving a good amount of advantage after equipping a buff. With Sword Install, this move becomes a 2-hit attack and knocks down, giving you ample time to confirm afterwards. Blocked at max range, though, most of the cast cannot reliably punish this. Don't whiff.

Shield hit. Backhanded shield slap that causes a knockdown on hit, and wallslams in juggles. Powerful move that is very easy to confirm afterwards. Commonly used in frame traps, linking specials during pressure, and establishing that is, in fact, still your turn.
Acts as a special, can cancel into other specials
Can be partially charged to delay startup and act as a frame trap
Has guard point starting on frame 7 until active with shield install
Destroys projectiles starting on frame 3, can be special cancelled after doing so
Can be CS'd or Super Cancelled on whiff
Safe on block
Guard point makes this particularly frightening in frame traps, as most characters must risk a throw or burn meter to beat this auto guard if they choose to attempt to get out here.
If you eat a projectile, you can cancel into other 214X or 236X to catch them, or 22X to grab a buff. The whiff cancel furthermore opens up new avenues. Pivotal tool.
Fully charged, turns into an overhead with a long crumple state.
Ranged overhead which eats through mash attempts with shield install
Fully crumples on hit
Bad proration without shield install, but high damage with it
Unsafe on block, but can still be special cancelled
Can still be CS'd and Super Cancelled on whiff
Commonly used after good starters to grab a buff mid combo. Very strong tool in pressure or oki with install to ensure the opponent respects your string. Unsafe fully charged, but can still be cancelled into 214A to make it safe.
Wagner grabs, burns, and explodes her opponent. So plus on hit that 22A after throw is 0 on block and +3 in vorpal. A lot of Wagner's mixup revolves around the grab, which can be kara cancelled into with her 6B.
Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit.
Airborne: 1~52, Standing: 53~59.
For Full Charge version: Airborne: 1~101, Standing: 102~108.
Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate.
Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health).
You can hold down A+B+C to delay activation and gain a few extra benefits, but doing so is highly unrecommended unless trying to run the clock as this move already has a long start up as is.
Cancels an action and launches the opponent high into the air on hit.
Airborne: 1~25.
CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel, you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun.
Including in the air.
Requires at least 100 meter and consumes vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate.
Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from.
Grants an additional bounce if both have been used in the combo so far.
If the opponent does end up hitting the ground during the combo, damage is prorated.
Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth.
Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

In combos, does slightly more damage than 236A, and if used with an install at the end, leads to a safejump setup. Mostly used in the corner, or occasionally to cross back up and put the opponent in the corner.

Shield charge.
Good for advancing on the ground and closing space with your opponent in pressure
Great oki tool that leads to plus frames if it hits meaty
Buttslams on hit, leading to big confirms
Works well as a confirm from ranged hit normals like 5B, 2B, and 5C
All meterless versions of 214 can be special canceled on contact and CS'd or super canceled on whiff. This allows Wagner to extend her pressure and ensure that her strings don't end when the opponent thinks they will. However, it will lose its special cancel property if shielded.
Properly spaced, this move will leave you plus on block, resetting pressure and potentially setting up for a frame trap for people who improperly gauge the distance.

After a shield install, 214A gains guard point starting on frame 7 (up until it goes active), projectile invuln into its active frames, and will always be at least even on normal block.
This expands 214A's utility from a pressure extender and frame trap tool to a rampaging armored hitbox and abare tool. You can use this to pretty much skip neutral against sloppy zoning and projectile use. Can be CS'd at any point past its guard point startup.

Same effect as the A version, but it starts slower and covers a greater distance, as well as being less safe on block. You will generally opt to use this version in combos as opposed to pressure, as its range makes it near impossible to gain frame advantage out of Wagner's normals.
Since 214B has a longer overall recovery time, this makes it easier to confirm a super cancel against an opponent who jumps out, using 623C or 236C.
The added range, however, makes longer range 5C confirms stronger, as well as allowing for easier confirms when the opponent is farther out.

EX Shield Charge with a much slower acceleration and top speed, making it much harder to confirm against projectiles and in general. It also prorates heavily and is always unsafe on block. Extremely situational: this is probably Wagner's worst move and is best avoided unless you can make a hard read in pressure or have no better option for a punish.
The charged version of this move has a slower startup, longer reach, increased damage and more advantage on block. When blocked, 214[A] pushes the opponent back significantly and floats them upwards, allowing you to get them closer to the corner. Knocks down on hit, wallslams on hit near the corner.

After a shield install, more plus frames on block and the move now has a guard point starting on frame 7.
236XX recovers while airborne, leaving Wagner plus
Commonly used mid combo after [FF] for conversion and better damage
Can be CS'd after the install goes active
Disappears if hit afterward. If both Installs were active, the first one to disappear after being hit is the one that was done last.
An essential tool used at the end of combos after knockdowns to set up her oki and to make Wagner's already damaging confirms even more threatening.
This is commonly used mid-combo after [FF] to cancel the move and allow for combo extension, as well as when [FF] hits raw. Having an install in neutral makes 236X more of a threat, as it lets Wagner do stronger confirms without burning other resources, which can scare the opponent and make their behavior more defensive.

Shield Install. 3f slower than sword install. Faster in Vorpal.
Shield hits will now do chip damage (3C, j.B)
FF and 214X gain guard point from frame 7, until they become active
Buff will disappear after using a 214X or FF, or after getting hit
Same as the A version, it will be lost first if it was the last install done or if installed through 22C.
Very useful install which can allow Wagner to power through sloppy pressure, abare with unusual tools, and retain her frame advantage at many ranges.
Depending on the matchup, this can completely put the opponent on edge as it makes many of Wagner's tools that much more threatening. FF can no longer be mashed out, and moves which are generally safe at a distance can become extremely risky the moment Guard Point is on the table.

Wagner surrounds herself with a fire pillar that reaches to the top of the stage, hitting opponents horizontally nearby or in the air above her, and buffing both her sword and her shield. Notorious for being +9 on block, allowing Wagner to burn 100 meter to keep her turn and maintain pressure options since she recharges her buffs.
This is a useful combo ender in many situations, particularly in the corner, as the move's behavior changes based on how many buffs Wagner already had before using 22C.
No buffs: Gains both buffs, opponent can tech afterwards
One buff: Gains the other buff, knocks down the opponent
Both buffs: Uses both buffs to deal more damage and inflict burn, which deals up to 950 damage over time, increasing based on Wagner's proximity to the opponent. Knocks down.
Normally, this move cannot be combo'd after, but one can use CS or use it in CVO for extensions. This is one of Wagner's most important tools in both pressure and confirms.

Air-to-ground Sword Thrust. Not an overhead
Powerful combo starter on counterhit and mainly a conversion tool
Only punishable by throws if not shielded
Similar follow up to the ground version, done by pressing any button during or after the move
With Sword Install, followup deals more damage and can be followed with another move for conversion or pressure
Best used when tk'd as a counterhit punish as it leads to 4K meterless. Potentially tricky divekick esque move which is somewhat safe dependent on spacing. Converts while in the air, and is best used if you have meter to EX move afterwards.

Similar to the A version
Reaches farther than the A version, travels in a different angle
Also mainly a combo tool
Jab punishable on block
Less useful tool than the A version. It doesn't convert meterlessly on counterhit and is less safe on block. Save it for when you have meter to convert or make it safe.

Super Air Sword Thrust which leaves Wagner at 0.
Strong way to retain pressure or reset the situation when Wagner is in the air
Makes 623A safe when blocked
Full conversions on hit
Primary CVO damage filler
Strong offense starter when you're in the air and the opponent whiffs a ground tool. Decent conversions on hit, BnB level conversions on Counter hit.

Slower diving thrust, Wagner charged back before it goes active.
More powerful version and bigger hitbox than the normal version, but less safe
Acts as an anti-anti-air when used properly
Knocks down on hit for easier and meterless conversions
Tricker move to bait out anti airs. Can be made safe by cancelling into 22C on landing, as can all versions of 236X.

Wagner rises like a bird and ignites the air around her. Expires if you take damage or move outside of half screen range.
Excellent, half screen punish tool that has an absurd amount of advantage on hit, granting enough time for Wagner to do *both* installs. This is your preferred CVO ender unless IWEX will kill. This will also add into some of 22C's damage over time if you had both buffs before using it.
