Profile-phonon.png

She wishes. For the paranormal ability from the deepest
spirit of hers. Along with the white follower. False shell at
present. The wish will be fulfilled when the time comes right
here. The sword speaks. The path to the bright future. She
fails. The sword exposes. The path from the cloudy past.
She overrides.

Story

Having a strong sense of power, Phonon leaves the EFG, a student self-defense force known for their strict rules, so she can use her powers more freely. Her behaviour is not unlike a normal student's, going through a sensitive stage and wanting to find their "true self" amid the exhaustion of daily life. She believes her In-Birth powers are proof of awakening to her true self. As such, she uses her power against other under the darkness of night. Little does she know that there is someone else who also moves shadows who knows her "false self" from before she awoke.

Might as well use this awakened manga hero power to its fullest.
No use wasting something so cool, right?

Gameplay

Phonon boasts some of the best long-range normals in the entire game. She can easily dominate the entire screen, pushing and pulling foes to get them exactly where she wants them. Played well, Phonon's pressure game is extremely oppressive, with no clear way out; and any mistake can be punished harshly with her high-damage combo game. On the flipside, she's not great at dealing with pressure herself, lacking fast normals or meterless reversals to get out of a jam.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Incredible range and stagger windows on most of her buttons, as well as great projectiles.
  • Strong airgame with additional air mobility options, powerful air fireballs and gigantic air normals.
  • Can be difficult to challenge her pressure reset options at range.
  • Fast overhead with resources, using Assault j.A CS.
  • Above-average damage output, with fantastic metered combo enders.
  • Flexible hit-confirms, can easily convert almost any hit into a full combo without resources.
  • Can easily combo into VO to strip vorpal, and rarely needs to spend extra resources to do so.
  • Vacuum and pushback normals give her a high degree of control over her opponent's position.
  • Great throw with high frame advantage and good damage.
  • Surprising array of gimmicks and knowledge-checks.
  • Without resources, has no reliable way to threaten downbacking opponents beyond throw and knowledge checks.
  • Anti-airs have slow startup and/or wonky hitboxes that can make reactive/defensive use or throw OSes difficult.
  • No meterless reversal and no 5F normals can make it hard to shake off pressure.
  • Extremely bad backdash and low walkspeed make it hard to play a traditional whiff-punish game.
  • Few sources of plus-frames that do not leave large, challengable gaps.
  • Can very easily bleed away GRD and lose vorpal with careless pressure.

A quick swipe with the whip.

  • Hits above and in front of Phonon.
  • Great stagger window, good for tick-throws up close.
  • Best button to use for rebeats.
  • Good option to mash out of pressure, as it has quite good range for a 6F normal.
  • Allows Smart Steer, which can be used to reuse 5B, 5BB or 5C in pressure.

An advancing whip swing.

12 4 23 39 -10 -

A followup to 5B, Phonon steps forward and swings again, taking up a giant slice of the screen.

  • Great combo filler, makes hitconfirming easy.
  • Fairly negative on block, so it should be rebeated or cancelled into something else.
  • Stagger window is actually very narrow, and 4B and C buttons are the only normals that can frametrap afterwards.

Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
12 4, (9), 3 15 42 -2 -

A two-part whip attack. First hit is a mid, the second is a vacuum and hits low.

  • Very useful in pressure; a high-damage starter that's easy to confirm off of, has a great stagger window, and is only -2 on no-cancel.
  • Vacuum is relatively small.
  • Rebeating the first hit is a good way to reset pressure. Rebeating the second hit should be avoided, as it makes the move much more negative.

570, 710 (1194) Mid, Low N, SP, EX, CS Vacuum, Launch - Strike
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
12 4, (16), 3 17 51 -2 -

Charged version of 5C. The second hit is delayed.

  • Often used as combo filler, as it does great damage.
  • Also useful in pressure; the delay causes the second hit to frametrap automatically.
  • The stagger window is worse than uncharged 5C's, but the vacuum is much better. It's still only -2 if left uncancelled though.
  • Will only connect both hits as a combo on counter-hit or air hit.
  • The most practical max-damage starter for DP punishes and similar things.

6 2 14 21 -4 -

A quick crouching kick.

  • No longer 5F startup, but still a pretty good 6F low.
  • Good stagger window, and can cancel into itself.
  • Useful for tick-throws, or for starting pressure after dashing in.
  • Can be used to rebeat, but 5A is better.

490 Mid N, SP, EX, CS - - Strike, Foot

A crouching whip swipe

  • Phonon's only crouching mid.
  • Good for tick-throws when up close, as it's -5 and has a great stagger window.
  • Slightly faster than 5B, although it has slightly less range. Commonly used to mash out of pressure when 5A won't reach.

A big sweep with the whip.

  • Has great range for a low, can be used to catch people walking back in neutral.
  • Quite negative if left uncancelled, but has an extremely long stagger window.

j.A

8 - - - Varies -

A quick aerial slash that extends quite far down.

  • With Vorpal, can use Assault j.A and Chain Shift for an overhead that is quite hard to react to.
  • Can be used while rising to cover your jump; you have time to perform another move in the air afterwards (except j.[C])
  • j.A j.C is a great low-commital way to cover space in neutral.
j.B

  • Not too useful; mostly combo filler.
  • Can't combo off Assault j.B, unless you delay it quite a bit.
j.C

UNI Phonon j.C IC.png
j.5C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
590 High, Air Shield N, SP, EX, CS - - Strike, Head
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
- - - - Varies -

A long whip attack that takes up a big chunk of the screen.

  • Useful tool for zoning characters out, or attacking them air-to-air.
  • Also a great assault button; covers a big distance, and is plus as long as it's not shielded
j.5[C] Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
750 High, Air Shield N, SP, EX, CS Launch - Strike, Head
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
- - - - Varies -

A gigantic whip attack that crosses almost the entire screen.

  • Fantastic combo tool as it does good damage and launches opponents towards you, though it can be difficult to use as a starter itself.
  • Floats Phonon in the air while active, can be used to delay your landing to trick opponents.
  • Will not float as much if used from assault, but is difficult to combo off of on hit and is less advantageous than uncharged j.C.
  • Has very low recovery, on whiff you can usually perform another air action (e.g. assault)
j.3[C] Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
750 High, Air Shield N, SP, EX, CS Launch - Strike, Head
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
- - - - Varies -

Variant of j.[C], floats less vertically but gives Phonon a boost to horizontal momentum.

  • Useful to continue pressure or combo after j.22X series.
  • Much easier to use as a starter compared to j.5[C].
  • Can only be performed off of neutral/backjump; if performed after forwardjump/assault, it will behave the same as j.5[C].

Command Normals

UNI Phonon 4B.png
Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
480 Mid N, SP, EX, CS Launch, Vacuum - Strike
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
15 2 35 51 -19 -

Phonon's second most notorious normal, a vacuuming whip pull with incredible range.

  • Very negative on no-cancel, but is rebeatable and has a great stagger window.
  • Vacuum is relatively minor, similar to 5C.
  • Phonon moves backwards during this move's recovery, but the backwards movement is negated if the move is cancelled into anything else.
  • Can be used to easily convert stray hits into combos, easily hitconfirm in pressure, or poke your opponent in neutral.
  • Has fairly high damage proration, so it often lowers combo damage compared to other options.

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
600 Low SP, EX ,CS, N (on hit only) Knockdown - Strike, Foot
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
17 10 22 48 -14 -

Possibly the most notorious normal in all of UNI; a sweep that covers 90% of the screen

  • Despite its incredible range, it actually mostly sees use as combo filler...
  • Can be used to check your opponent's movements from fullscreen, but you'll be left vulnerable if they jump or assault.
  • On block it can only be special cancelled; a fireball afterwards can easily be assaulted or shielded too, so use with caution in neutral.
  • Can also be used as a frametrap in pressure, as it's very good at calling out backdash attempts.
j.2B
UNI Phonon j.2B.png
UNI Phonon j.2B IC.png
j.2B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
320 High, Air Shield N, SP, EX, CS - - Strike, Head
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
8 - - - Varies -

A kick that causes Phonon to bounce off the opponent.

  • Very quick, but won't hit crouchers if performed immediately out of an assault.
  • Can be used to crossup the opponent, but is very weak to being shielded afterwards.
j.2[B] Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
420 High, Air Shield N, SP, EX, CS Ground Bounce - Strike, Head
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
- - - - Varies -

Like j.2B, but slams them straight into the floor instead.

  • Used in 99% of Phonon's combo routes, due to its useful groundbounce property.
  • Also pretty excellent when used with Assault; it's Phonon's highest-damage assault starter, and is very advantageous on block if unshielded. It can even be plus on shield if performed very low to the ground.
j.4B
UNI Phonon j.4B.png
Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
470 High, Air Shield N, SP, EX, CS Vacuum - Strike, Head
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
- - - - Varies -

Phonon turns around in the air and stabs with her whip.

  • Useful for sideswap combos.
  • Can also be used after jumping over the opponent to hit them crossup.
  • If performed rising from a jump, you can assault backwards.
  • Rising whiffed j4B will push the opponent out of the corner, allowing for tricky crossups.

14 4, (4), 6 22 49 -9 4-13 + 20-40 Throw, 9-13 Foot, 20-27 Head

A dashing handspring kick. Hits twice; once when Phonon leaves the ground and again at the peak of the jump

  • Has incredible property invincibility, crushing lows and throws during the first hit and anti-airing duing the second.
  • On block, the second hit can be cancelled into j.236A to gain frame advantage, or cancelled into j.22X for a high-risk frametrap situation.
  • If the second hit is shielded, Phonon cannot special cancel and is helpless (unless she has CS). Shielding the first hit does nothing special.
66[B] Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
840 High SP, EX, CS, N Launch - Strike
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
30 6 30 65 -18 4-13 + 28-56 Throw, 9-13 Foot, 28-35 Head

A slow overhead handspring kick. Has only one hit, compared to the uncharged version's two.

  • Retains some of the invuln properties from the uncharged version, but the invuln runs out long before the move actually goes active.
  • On block, can be cancelled into j.236A to stay safe, or j.22X for a riskier frametrap option.
  • Can be cancelled into air normals too, but this is risky if they shield.
  • Like with 66B, if the kick is shielded, Phonon can only CS cancel.
66C

540 Mid SP, EX, CS Wall Bounce - Strike
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
12 6 24 41 -9 -

Phonon slams the opponent with her whip's handle.

  • Mostly used as combo filler, especially in high-damage routes.
  • On block, can be cancelled into 6B+C or 236[A] to start pressure.

Phonon spins her whip over her head, then slams it to the floor with an explosion.

  • A slow but very active anti-air. Can combo off the groundbounce afterwards.
  • Gains improved startup and invuln properties in vorpal, making it a little bit more reliable.
  • Can be used as an Anti-air/Throw OS with B+C~A+D input.
  • Best used pre-emptively, as it has such long startup.

Phonon spins her whip for even longer and the final explosion is even bigger.

  • Holding the button makes it last longer; releasing it at any time before the final hit will give the same groundbounce as the uncharged version.
  • It's a little harder to combo afterwards compared to the uncharged version, but it can be done.

Phonon's new Force Function in cl-r; she strikes three times with the whip, and can perform a followup after the third hit.

  • All three hits are Special, EX and CS cancellable; the last hit gains the followup options on top of that.
  • Followup can be input at any time during the move and it will automatically come out after the third hit, as long as the move connects.
  • The followups have no stagger window and will always come out with the same timing.
  • On hit, pressing a button as the whip makes contact causes a particle effect and improves the damage output slightly.
  • Quite strong as a meaty; its hitbox is more disjointed than many of her other moves, and it can be EX cancelled even on whiff.

A huge vacuuming sweep, similar to the second hit of 5C.

Phonon jumps at the opponent with an animation similar to air-fireball. Hits overhead.

  • Lightning-fast, basically unreactable gapless overhead.
  • Leads into good damage on hit, but is unsafe on block without resources.
  • Mostly a knowledge check; while the overhead is very fast, Phonon has no quick low option from 6FF, so it's safe for the opponent to stand up whenever they see the first hits.
6B+C~C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
329 (minimum) Mid N, SP, EX, CS Launch - Strike

Phonon swings four more times with a similar animation to the first three hits.

  • Like with the first hits, timing inputs as the whip makes contact with the opponent will improve the damage.
  • Can be special-cancelled on all four hits, and normal-cancelled on the last hit.
  • 6FF-C 5A is Phonon's least negative rebeat option, and the final hit has a very long stagger window.

  • 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.

236A Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
800 Mid, Air EX, CS Launch - Strike, Projectile
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
18 - 30 48 -2 (minimum) -

A simple ground-wave type fireball.

  • Good pressure tool; it's -2 minimum, but the farther it travels, the more + it becomes.
  • Can be jumped or assaulted over, so be careful. However it's EX cancellable on whiff, so if you're quick you can police jumps with 623C. (this goes for all fireball variations).
236[A] Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute
928 Mid, Air EX, CS Snare - Strike, Projectile
Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul
25 - 34 59 +1 (minimum) -

A slower, 3-hit version of 236A. Freezes opponent in place briefly on hit.

  • Pretty much the only reliable source of plus frames in Phonon's grounded kit. However, it's quite slow, so you can generally be mashed out of it on startup.
  • When used in combos, can usually VO afterwards to strip vorpal.
236B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute

A quick-moving 3-hit fireball. Freezes the opponent in place briefly on hit.

  • Not commonly used during pressure, except for some hitconfirm option selects, as it's still pretty minus.
  • Fantastic combo filler, however; does good damage and it's possible to continue the combo afterwards. A staple of Phonon routing.

  • Very plus on block; can be used to make unsafe things safe (e.g. 214AA) or force your turn by giving you enough frame advantage to get in.
  • Can also be used to combo off of certain moves that normally can't be followed up (e.g. fullscreen 3C).

Slow, aerial version of Phonon's fireball.

  • Preserves whatever air momentum Phonon had before; if you do it while rising, you'll float helplessly upwards through the air, so don't do that.
  • Very plus on block if used while falling. A useful neutral tool.
  • Common combo filler for advanced Phonon routing, and a very good starter as well.
  • Can be cancelled into j.22X to frametrap or retreat.

A quick-moving aerial version of Phonon's fireball.

  • Causes Phonon to flip forward after throwing, overwriting her previous air momentum.
  • TK fireball is neutral on block from pointblank; it's plus if spaced more than a few steps away.
  • Fireballs performed from normal jump height are generally negative, but usually not punishable unless Phonon lands super close to the opponent.
  • Common combo filler for advanced Phonon routing and hitconfirm OSes, and a good starter too.
  • Can be cancelled into j.22X to frametrap or retreat.

Very fast EX air fireball.

  • Extremely fast and high advantage on block.
  • Can make risky air actions safe (e.g. 6B+C~B).
  • Tanks combo damage, but can allow combo pickups that would otherwise be impossible (e.g. max distance j.5[C] hit).

9 12 27 47 -8 1-15 Dive, 5-15 Head

A pillar of light appears in front of Phonon.

  • Hits quite high, is very active and has very good invincibility properties. A pretty solid anti-air all around.
  • Can usually combo afterwards with 5A.
  • Has instant Dive invuln, but the Head invuln doesn't kick in until a few frames afterwards.

The pillar appears far away from Phonon, about half-screen distance.

  • A very useful tool for checking movements at a distance.
  • Although it's minus on block, many characters will struggle to meaningfully challenge afterwards due to its range.
  • Still retains some anti-air invulnerability properties, but they're rarely relevant.
  • Very high damage combo starter with resources (22C or CS).

A much bigger, wider pillar of light with startup invincibility.

  • Phonon's main reversal tool, also her best metered combo ender.
  • You can always sideswap afterwards by dashing under the opponent while they're caught in the pillar.
  • It gives a very advantageous knockdown too.

Phonon swings her whip while stepping forward

  • Generally used as a combo ender using the followup.
  • Can be used on its own for risky tick-throw setups, as it's a rare advancing move and only -5.
  • The second part of the rekka can be delayed to frametrap.

Phonon follows up her first swing with two more while walking forwards.

  • Gives a good knockdown as a combo ender, or you can spend meter with 623C afterwards.
  • Very unsafe on block without resources.
  • Can't be used as a starter midscreen without resources. In the corner, a 5A pickup is possible.

Similar to 214A, but Phonon swings the whip diagonally upwards.

  • A very good antiair; the head invulnerability is slightly slower than 623A's, but the move covers more horizontal range.
  • Unfortunately it can be inconsistent, opponents occasionally drop out behind Phonon or just cross over her without being hit.
  • Unlike 214A, the first hit is very unsafe on block.
  • The followup can be delayed to frametrap.

10 4, (14), 5 31 63 -14 11-? Head, 2-? Dive

Phonon swings her whip twice more while walking forwards.

  • Has a gigantic hitbox, especially horizontally, plus some extra head/dive invulnerability.
  • Very unsafe on block without resources, and generally can't combo afterewards without resources either.
  • With resources (22C or CS), very high damage output as a starter; generally your most rewarding anti-air option.
  • Can be used as a combo ender instead of 214A. If you don't use 623C afterwards the opponent can air tech, which can gain (or cost!) them some GRD.

An EX whip rekka; Phonon hits the opponent multiple times before launching them into the air and exploding them.

  • Only does 3 hits on whiff/block.
  • Can be CSed on hit before the move completes. It won't kill until the last hit, so you can CS early to bank some meter for the next round.
  • Less damage, but more corner carry than 623C. Sees some niche use as an ender, but you'll usually want to use 623C instead.

Phonon jumps back, explosively smashing her whip into the ground.

  • Mostly used for advanced high-damage routing.
  • Has some use as a risky frametrap option, but it's awkward to combo afterwards, and you usually lose your turn afterwards on block.

Phonon jumps back, explosively smashing her whip into the opponent. Tracks to their location, as long as they're in front of you.

  • Hits overhead, so can be used as a knowledge check for players who don't know to standblock after the superflash.
  • Very high damage as a starter, if you can get it.
  • Practically speaking, mostly useful to extend combos from moves like 214B or 623B.

Air version of 22A; Phonon jumps higher into the air and her whip explosively smashes into the ground.

  • Appears at a fixed distance from Phonon if used raw, tracks to the opponent if cancelled from another move.
  • Moves Phonon quite far back horizontally.
  • Unlike grounded 22X, you can cancel into normals, so it's easier to continue pressure afterwards, but it does less damage.

  • Appears at a fixed distance from Phonon if used raw, tracks to the opponent if cancelled from another move.
  • Compared to j22A, Phonon jumps higher vertically, but doesn't go as far horizontally.
  • Unlike grounded 22X, you can cancel into normals, so it's easier to continue pressure afterwards, but it does less damage.

Air version of 22B; Phonon jumps higher into the air and her whip explosively smashes into the opponent.

  • Tracks to the opponent, just like grounded 22C.

  • Still hits overhead, but since you're airborne anyway, the surprise/knowledge check factor is reduced.
