or through banner

[sturdy owl]

my steam's connected to my discord account if you can find me thru that, otherwise we can just team up sometime and add each other there asjhdkjahd

[arctic flint]

We can do a team up

[robust orbit]

Yes I team but I got a story on why

[sturdy owl]

I'm on right now if the timing works!

[polar karma]

Hey chat

[arctic flint]

[sturdy owl]

[polar karma]

Is old uniform any good with tunning for assault kiri

I learned I love assault kiri today

Still suck at STRIEK kiri

[sturdy owl]

[sturdy owl]

HE'S SO GOOD

[arctic flint]

[tired wraith]

I never thought I'd become a Kiri lover this weekend either

Tbh @sturdy owl being a goat and helping with tuning

[polar karma]

Wow strange seeing another new kiri lover

[sturdy owl]

I'm glad to help!!! I think abt his tuning so often

[polar karma]

@sturdy owl wanna help with mine 💔

[tired wraith]

A weird looking angel broke into my room at night and said I should learn Assault Kirishima

[sturdy owl]

I'm so glad to see more assault kiri love

[polar karma]

Once you learn him your UNSTOPPABLE

[sturdy owl]

ASBOLUTELY! I'm playing rn but if you let me know which skins you have and maybe a list of characters I can get back to you with builds

[polar karma]

I js need to know for his old uniform since it’s my fav fit for him and also for assault kiri not STRIEK I have a separate build for him

[arctic flint]

Must be nice having PUR skin for ur main 😭

[polar karma]

Pls and thank you

[polar karma]

It really is❤️

Wishing you luck though

[tired wraith]

My phone sending all 9 of my kirishima clips at once

😭

[polar karma]

Yesss

Send the clips

[tired wraith]

Rock already saw em but you can kind of see the improvement in each clip I feel like I might be glazing

The clips should hopefully send in the next 5 minutes

[polar karma]

Yippie

[sturdy owl]

ooooh he has good builds on old uniform 100% I'll be able to get you good stuff for him!! remind me later or tomorrow if I forget I love making assault kiri tuning builds

[sturdy owl]

hoenstly that was a SICK match we were pulling off such cool stuff, my friend was talking abt how many combos you two pulled off

[arctic flint]

[tired wraith]

He takes the tism and leaves me in awe.

With Kirishima

[sturdy owl]

I am SO autistic about kiri and it makes me so powerful

[polar karma]

Okiieieieieiieieei tysmsmsmsmmsms

[arctic flint]

if youd like we can go for another

[sturdy owl]

absolutely!! my frien'ds just doing a 10x

[polar karma]

LETS GO GAMBLING

[sturdy owl]

for once she didn't get any PURs (she unlocks a character like every time I'm in vc with her)

[sturdy owl]

and happy to help!!!! literally let me make kiri builds for other people cause I have no character to tune my own kiri with

[polar karma]

Bro ima need her luck fr😿

[polar karma]

https://tenor.com/view/kirishima-determined-mha-bnha-my-hero-academia-gif-18999691

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I got my first skillset today- because I made a nintendo switch alt and my tutorial tickets got me lightning...

[polar karma]

Lucky I really want denkis skill set

[tired wraith]

I heard Nintendo switch

https://tenor.com/view/denki-kirishima-bakugou-bakugo-smirk-gif-13766872

[sturdy owl]

YEAH I HAVE A SWITCH ALT NOW!

[tired wraith]

You, me, neon.

Whenever we're all available.

[arctic flint]

lets play next time u and ur friend sometime

[sturdy owl]

absolutely!! she's very happy to do that - it'll be so cool to team up more

[sturdy owl]

AND YES

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/mirio-my-hero-academia-walking-hero-gif-16652929

[sturdy owl]

Neon is tamaki cause he does NOT wanna be playing on the switch rn

[tired wraith]

LMAO

Yeah I'd be Mirio

I live in the lagginess

[sturdy owl]

anyways I am very hyperfixated lemme look at assault kiri builds

[tired wraith]

I'd be the closest thing to hacks

[sturdy owl]

and nejire suits me cause I'm VERY autistic

[polar karma]

Okie and tysm for the help you’d so manly for that

[polar karma]

I have a switch account!

Don’t play on it much

[sturdy owl]

I'm so happy to help!!! gotta rep assault kiri help people know what to do with him!!
btw how's your character situation looking? should I be careful of builds with chokeholds or do you have a variety going on

[tired wraith]

THE MORE THE MERRIER

[polar karma]

Let me setup so I can play switch on big screen and I might pull up tomorrow

[sturdy owl]

me before I rolled lightning and now switch is the only platform I have a skillset on-

[tired wraith]

@grim mauve WE UPPP

Mew my friend

He's that iiDavion person you saw in my clips

[polar karma]

Only missing strike dabi tech shoto tech denki hawks and kurogiri that all!

[polar karma]

LMAO

[sturdy owl]

oh SICK I can make some awesome builds then lemme grab some

[polar karma]

YAYAYAYAYAYA

[tired wraith]

You're just inclined to play it now.

[tired wraith]

250+ gamma incoming

Strike shoto and present mic

[polar karma]

YES I SAW A BUILD ABOUT THAT

ok it’s possible

Not looking for it

But ik it

[sturdy owl]

are you interested in a sisterly disposition build? melee is hard to land with kiri but you can get the boost off downed players

[sturdy owl]

LMAO MIGHT'VE BEEN MINE

[polar karma]

What ever YOU think is best bc I am newer to kiri and your one of the best kiri players ik soooo

[sturdy owl]

sadly because I own like Zero Characters Ever I don't actually get to use the tuning builds I come up with askjhdakjshd all I know is wallrunner

[tired wraith]

Every Mirio is a unstomped Goomba.

Every Denki is a unflattened Pikachu.

[polar karma]

Hey BELIVE in yourself that how I got all my skillsets and characters

And also a lot of gambling

[sturdy owl]

I have 1600 tickets saved up, next season I'm GOING GAMBLING

hopefully red drive gets a rerun and I can score some kiri skins

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/paragwontbms-gif-26870982

[polar karma]

I think red deku might rerun but let’s hope for kiri bc despite me alr having him ik a LOT of people who wanted him and NEVER did

[tired wraith]

What we thinking about me putting the "PUUUSH!" Sound from SpongeBob?

[sturdy owl]

LITERALLY ME, I DID 100 ROLLS FOR RED DRIVE AND I GOT NOTHING!

[polar karma]

Wish I could give you mine I have him on my main and a few alts too💔

[sturdy owl]

anyways first build whipped up, this one is wallrunner + sisterly disposition
wallrunner makes for KILLER mobility on assault kiri, who very badly needs it, and sisterly dispotion just boosts his defense even FURTHER
https://ultradojo.com/?c=Eijiro+Kirishima&l=8&v=2&t=141163255351586745552765

that build also gets general HP damage boost plus gamma damage boost

[tired wraith]

Still flabbergasted how she unloaded the entire alpha clip and didn't break my shield 😭😭

[polar karma]

Maxed out sisterly and assault kiri would COOK bro

He becomes a tank

[sturdy owl]

I KNOW I want it so bad...

[polar karma]

Also tysm when I get the resources ima defff get that build

YOURE SO MANLY

[tired wraith]

I'm ngl

If they close enough

And not a rapid

Or sum

Melee, melee into the gamma

Could make for a decent combo

[sturdy owl]

HAPPY TO HELP! SUPER MANLY
and here's another build actually, it's speedy gp replenishment instead of wallrunner so this is TANKY kiri, and leans more defensive than offensive in general
https://ultradojo.com/?c=Eijiro+Kirishima&l=8&v=1&t=586137270771280133454767

[tired wraith]

Need Mina to get added fr

[sturdy owl]

personally I'd go with the first one, but I'm wallrunner-brained this ione is also good

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/my-hero-academia-mina-ashido-kirishima-eijirou-boku-no-hero-academia-gif-15911646

[sturdy owl]

LET ME TEAM UP WITH KIRI'S BESTIE!!!

[polar karma]

I love wall runner I have it on a toga build

Since I’m also lowkey a rapid toga main

But I reached out today

[sturdy owl]

wallrunner is so cracked on kiri I love him so much

[polar karma]

AND IM SO HAPPY I DID

[tired wraith]

I'd get wall runner but like I only have one character ticket and I don't wanna waste that on Iida JUST for his tuning.

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY ASSAULT KIRI IS SO AWESOME

[sturdy owl]

see what I did was that I played iida exactly once, decided he's awesome and IMMEDIATELY hero ticketed him, and then ended up never playing him ever so now I'm happy I ticketed him for the tuning instead of for no reason

mood tho cause I only have one spare hero ticket rn and idk WHAT to do with it, I'm holding onto it forever

[tired wraith]

The idea is to over-invest in things so you feel forced to use it.

Why do you think I maxed a kiri tuning build when I never touched him previously

Make myself use him

Get better

Gg ez

[sturdy owl]

aksjdhkashd yk what that IS fair

see I've tried so much to get into any other character but I just can't. assault kiri for life. I literally have a video titled "punished by god for straying from assault kiri's path" because every time I swap off him the game gets SO MUCH WORSE

[tired wraith]

Crazy

[sturdy owl]

unless I'm on console where I don't have him unlocked yet then it's deku or tech denki for me

[polar karma]

FREAK YEAH

[sturdy owl]

LMAO me looking at the tuning channel "oh, how perfect! I can- wait, nope, I already got this one covered"

god my assault kiri behavior in one game earlier was hilarious, the one time I DIDN'T choose violence

• underground in the villain prison, at the edge of battle, realize a nejire has just joined the fray
• fully abandon my tsu and ibara, because I Am So Sorry, I Cannot Help Here
• tell my friend that "I'm just gonna start proactively collecting rez cards"
• kiri has a leisurely walk around a quiet chaos city while teammates get ruthlessly murdered
• "I've got a civ guys don't worry-"

[sour bane]

Accepting Defeat because they are going off-meta and saying "screw it. I'll go get the rez" is the most intelligent thing someone can do in this game

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY it's a vital skill - especially with assault kiri - to know when to just say "screw it, I'm more useful alive and running away than I am violent and dead"

[sour bane]

"Dying in battle is based and all, but what we need right now is someone to be alive to win it"

An important lesson that should be used irl too

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY
kiri is too young to go to valhalla yet, he's got work to do

this is currently my #1 evidence for having wallrunner on assault kiri

[brisk token]

https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/jL6k0sfcq6OfmzilU?invite=cr-MSxqcE4sMzExODY0MjAzLA nothing big but I'm proud of it 💯

[robust orbit]

Good kirishima game play

[tired wraith]

How's this for a Detroit smash?

[sturdy owl]

GET HIM you love to see a kiri so skilled

[sturdy owl]

still love this clip, god, everyone convincing me to level beta first with the cool stuff it does

[tired wraith]

He doesn't get downed if he just went outside or didn't jump

Lmaooo

[mighty star]

It’s actual pain

[tall meteor]

Does anyone else find the air version of salt Kiri's beta rather inconsistent?

Even if the opponent is on the floor I feel like it just whiffs completely

[tired wraith]

You'll live!

[tired wraith]

Sometimes it'll whiff

[sturdy owl]

tbh I love it when someone chooses the exact order of operations that lets you WRECK THEM
tho honestly, going inside to run away from assault kiri?? dawg...

[tired wraith]

Bro was panicking

[sturdy owl]

lower level hitboxes can def make it a little hard to land, plus with the tracking it has aim can be reall weird
cause like. the tracking angle seems really shallow, so it'll only track if you're already gonna almost hit someone, so it's hard to predict
tbh I def whiff my beta a lot but with assault kiri you can kind of afford to. it's got 3 charges, there isn't a massive penalty for running out, and you've got super armour! hard to get punished

[tired wraith]

If they're moving and too close

It's usually a guaranteed whiff

From my experience

[sturdy owl]

yeahhh that's usually the time it whiffs the most

[tall meteor]

Doesn't help that the move doesn't have omniversersal tracking unlike Iida's moves

I'll look at someone above me right

I try to beta

[sturdy owl]

YEAH it has like, tracking for one frame but then your trajectory is set in stone

[tall meteor]

But I'm grounded so I don't go up

[sturdy owl]

oh yeah that too, grounded kiri stays grounded

[tired wraith]

Strike Denki when they can't stun me.

[sturdy owl]

shoutouts to every denki who thinks his beta is useful against assault kiri
(dawg it isn't. dude you're just making it extremely easy to land my beta)

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/denki-gif-19654330

Done gave him CTE

[tall meteor]

I've recently been playing Kendo a bit and honestly

I feel like it's helping my gameplay on kiri

Even in Expert 2

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I used a rental ticket on kendo once and the way my kiri gameplay instincts just worked perfectly - they have a lot in common

[tired wraith]

You can't stun me, you can't use alphas without eating a beta from me. So instead of running, they choose beta.

[tall meteor]

Heck I'd probably play kendo more if her alpha wasn't weird

(Pls give kiri a better basic melee)

[tired wraith]

Also I got called a cheater when I broke someone's shield they had the tech denki tuning and I have strike denki tuning LOL

[sturdy owl]

true, it's just hilarious how fast beta goes bad for them LMAO
fun fact: did you know that if kiri gets hit by denki's tripwires like, 6 or 7 times in a row it'll actually break his hardening?
except it doesn't even stun him. since it breaks hardening, he takes knockback and i-frames protect him from the stun
so even in this insane scenario he can just! jump outta there before he gets stunned!

[sturdy owl]

LMAO

[sturdy owl]

please GOD give kiri's melee a usable hitbox... I don't care if they nerf his melee damage into the ground, I just wanna LAND IT

[tired wraith]

Strike Denki laying out a whole electrical field but I have his own tuning

"YOU FOOL, YOU FOOL!'

[tired wraith]

I'll nick them then keep running off

[sturdy owl]

LMAO LITERALLY I wanna put resiat stun on my kiri build so bad

depending on how my luck goes with my 200 rolls next season, I might have one kiri build with wallrunner/stun resist and then a second one with wallrunner/speedy gp drink

[tired wraith]

I'm ngl I might go B4, G4, A4, then G9, B9, A9.

Cuz 3 max betas

Gets some good air

[sturdy owl]

genuinely I've started prioritizing beta because it's just such a useful tool!!
even tho I have wallrunner, dynamic aerial movement is so useful, and just making his highest ammo move strong is so useful

right this moment I actually go B4, G4, A4, then B9, G9, A9 - but I'm experimenting with it rn to see if it's worth it over G9's massive hitbox

[tired wraith]

A tech denki tried punishing me being close with his traps

Unfortunately Kirishima knows ball

[sturdy owl]

HE DOES!

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/dunk-gif-21755298

[sturdy owl]

honestly it's so funny how you don't even have to harden against denki. like it def makes the matchup even better, but the super armour on his moves can be enough to make it by

[tired wraith]

every kirishima jumping and going for gamma for the wake up

[sturdy owl]

LMAO HONESTLY

I love using an aerial gamma when they still have i-frames, knowing they'll run out while I'm following them mid-air

[tired wraith]

My plan with Kirishima in every match

1. Max out beta and gamma
2. "F IT WE BALL RAHHHHHH"

[sturdy owl]

REAL
I really do play assault kiri like he's unbreakable and just hope for the best

[tired wraith]

Does Strike Dabi's beta stop Kirishima's SA?

[sturdy owl]

oh my god yesterday I actually managed to make a nejire SCARED OF ME it was ethereal
idk if it was just a bad plsyer but I loved it

[tired wraith]

Cuz imagine getting hugged, not getting knocked back because of the SA, and then just.

https://tenor.com/view/hello-chat-orange-creamsicle-judgement-sanabi-general-gif-2575144015354103548

[tired wraith]

I had a nejire running from me as Overhaul.

[sturdy owl]

perfect timing I LITERALLY did a bunch of training against strike dabi yesterday

1. unfortunately his hug does ignore hardening, which SUCKS I really wish it were an answer
2. the super armour on his moves tho, seems to be different. if strike dabi tries to hug you during a beta or something, it doesn't actually go through as a hug instead you just take heavy knockback and usually trade damage since you had a hitbox active

[tired wraith]

Dang

[sturdy owl]

I also figured out a pretty good tactic to avoid getting hug combo'd

1. DO NOT JUMP OUT OF KNOCKBACK AFTER A HUG, IDK WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO FIGURE THAT OUT
2. let yourself slowly stand up, and don't take any game actions to avoid losing i-frames
3. stay on guard and try to dodge roll his second hug if he has another charge waiting for you

it sounds obvious saying it out loud BUT! it can be hard to be thoughtful and logical 0.3 second after getting dabi hugged

I have yet to try it against an experienced crazy torch player, but I'm hoping it holds up better than my "panic and jump out of knockback like an idiot, wonder how he landed his second hug almost immediately"

[tall meteor]

Current hardening makes no sense to me solely because of how many moves kill it now

Like hardening against hug would kill dabi

[sturdy owl]

it's literally SO dumb how basically every character in the cast has a way to break hardening

[tall meteor]

Like at least give assault Kiri old hardening

We've been getting weird workarounds on special actions since Toga and Denki

[sturdy owl]

I think it's because "breaks hardening" isn't properly treated like a unique trait
like, most of the time it just seems based on the TYPE of knockback being delivered, which results in stupid things like nejire's beta breaking hardening
nejire does NOT need that tool against kiri! red drive, maybe, cause he has rocks, but even then I don't think she needs red drive counterplay
but assault kiri ESPECIALLY! her entire kit already 100% checks him, but the only thing he can do against her (beta up into the sky for damage) is easily countered by beta'ing in his direction and immediately knocking him down

[sturdy owl]

if kurogiri's special action works on downed players TAKING KNOCKBACK MID-AIR then kiri's hardening could be a little more powerful

[brisk token]

I'm a complete noobie at him 😭 made a tune for him yesterday and started to play him

[tired wraith]

My personal tip is to try to learn how to angle the betas.

If you can angle then properly you'll do well

[brisk token]

Yea I miss those alot even when I think It should hit them

[sturdy owl]

honestly you're doing great already!! hardening to get a gp potion off is great, and the ruthless "screw you I'm going to punch you" tactics are so great on assault kiri hsgsgsgs

his beta def takes getting used to - as you play him more you'll just start to get a feel for it, but you can also go in training mode with quick reload and just throw betas left and right to try and get an understanding of how they work

the hitbox is actually gnarly at higher levels so you don't have to worry so much about hitting them as the area they're in

[brisk token]

Oooi

Wait that's actually cool then because I level gamma first I love gamma idk if I should level it first but i do it helps alot

I'll try beta

[sturdy owl]

not to mention the tracking on it is weird - it only tracks at a pretty shallow angle, so sometimes he beta's in the direction you're facing, and sometimes he hones in on the person you're aiming near

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I feel like with assault kiri you can choose any level path and find success - the main thing is that all his moves get a solid upgrade at level 4, so I'd reccomend getting everything there before you rush anything

rn I usually level B4, G4, A4 > B9, G9, A9
but if I'm in a dangerous situation I might hit A4 first to have extra mobility if I need to escape

[brisk token]

Yea one of the reasons why I went with wall runner and nejie hado tuning it helps when I'm trying to escape

I need to level alpha more I forget about it alot

[sturdy owl]

but anything you aim for works well - A9 hypothetically gets the highest damage output (if you can consistently land your entire alpha) and has awesome mobility
B9 is very jack of all trades - it's mobility, and damage, and very hard to punish since you usually punch past someone even if you miss them
then G9 is just, the most disgusting hitbox you've EVER seen with that gnarly 200 damage

[brisk token]

I'll do the free training for the beta so I can get a better idea of it

[sturdy owl]

wallrunner is 100% awesome idk how many times it's saved my life

[brisk token]

Yea I notice the g9 hit box its amazing I can stop hawks and iidas with it it feels nice

[sturdy owl]

also idk if I've rambled about assault kiri's pseudo-combos to you yet but the best gameplay with kiri is to lean into how slow he is, and try to hit people who are either too busy to dodge or try and predict them so they're already in your hitbox when their i-frames run out

[brisk token]

O he has combos?

[sturdy owl]

which you were doing well with that all might, he wasn't trying to dodge so you could just keep hitting him

[brisk token]

😮

Ohh

[sturdy owl]

not really, that's why I call them pseudo-combos cause it's not that his moves actually combo into each other - it's that if you get your timing right, you can keep hitting the same person every time they get up

cause if you beta or gamma someone the moment their i-frames run out, then they're back on the ground and you can try to do it again

it's EXTREMELY mean once you get good at it honestly, I should see if I have any good clips - sometimes I'll literally land a gamma and three betas without ever getting hit in return

[brisk token]

Oh I have done the beta gamma I failed though timing I frames I need to get good at

Since like u said kiri slowness

I'm not use too

[tired wraith]

Sending that Toga throw the windows like she was Leonardo in TMNT made me love Kiri a lot

Fr went

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-tmnt-leonardo-tmnt-tmnt-leonardo-leo-tmnt-gif-15475978807483294072

[sturdy owl]

tbh once you play him enough you'll start getting this sixth sense for when i-frames run out
the main thing to know is that if they jump out of knockback, they'll be vulnerable sooner than if they do a slow stand up
(spoiler: almost everyone jumps out against assault kiri LMAO)

[sturdy owl]

LITERALLY WHAT YOU DID TO HER LMAO

but yeah honestly assault kiri unlocks once you start memorizing i-frame timing

yesterday in training mode I full-to-zero'd my friend using crazy torch before she dealt more than 70 damage to me

[brisk token]

If they jump back which one is better to use beta or gamma?

[tired wraith]

@sturdy owl My switch crashed when I was dropping down from the UA school with a level 9 gamma into a bunch of enemies fighting each other in that middle area of the the cross sections.

I just KNOW it was gonna hurt then

[sturdy owl]

oh and in a similar vein - assault kiri is very good when you cycle all his attacks
like, he doesn't have much ammo and they actually recharge pretty slowly - but if you take it slow and pace yourself, you can cycle your quirks so you always have at least once available and never really have to let up the pressure
another thing that takes practice and intuition (and is MUCH harder at lower levels) but at max level I can basically infinitely cycle between beta and gamma

[sturdy owl]

god intervened to save their souls, you were gonna hurt them so bad

[tired wraith]

The meteor wasn't supposed to hit yet

not even close

[sturdy owl]

so both work when they jump out of knockback, it kinda depends on what they're doing and where you are

• if you're inside a building, gamma is basically FREE so always use that if you've got it, and then use betas while waiting for gamma to recharge
• if you're outdoors, it depends on how they're moving. if they try to run away, gamma is PERFECT because you jump after them, gamma at the height of your jump, and use the air control to follow them
• BUT if for any reason you don't think you can land it, save your gamma - it doesn't hurt to whiff a beta, it sucks to whiff your gamma
  so general rule of thumb is to use your gamma if it's available and you can land it, but use your beta if you're worried you'll whiff

[brisk token]

The amount of gamma whiffs I have done 🙂‍↕️

I'll focus more on the betas then

[tired wraith]

Would it hurt if they nerfed the gamma damage from like 200 to maybe 180 and gave us a second charge at level 7? No?

[sturdy owl]

I would trade my soul for a second gamma charge

[brisk token]

No knockdown? 🥹

[tired wraith]

"Just Gamma then PU" 🤓

[sturdy owl]

even 150 damage and 2 charges would be GNARLY

[tired wraith]

Imagine if you could combo it like Mount Lady?

And her stomps

[sturdy owl]

ironically no knockdown would possibly buff kiri cause now you don't have to wait to hit it again

[brisk token]

Oh nevermind then 💯

[sturdy owl]

tho I'd have to study assault kiri mirror matches to think about it...

which, pro tip, harden against other assault kiris: nothing in his kit breaks hardening

[tired wraith]

Just force the entire server to crash when two assault Kiris clash betas frfr

[sturdy owl]

additional pro tip: do not bother alpha'ing a hardened kiri. it'll phase right through him

[sturdy owl]

they had to avoid the immovable object vs unstoppable force paradox

[tired wraith]

It just creates a black hole

[sturdy owl]

thank god kiri and testu don't truly have the same quirk, or else they would've destroyed the universe by now

[brisk token]

You only harden when you're about to battle/potting? Right

I be tempting to do it when im looting

🤣

[tired wraith]

Healing, reviving allies or opening big boxes mostly

[sturdy owl]

hardening does two main things: defense boost, and resists flinching
most use cases are at the start of the battle, but like Incina said reviving allies and opening big boxes are good chances

[brisk token]

Wait yea I haven't harden when reviving im slow

[tired wraith]

Having it in battles are kind of niche since everyone can break hardening

[sturdy owl]

fun fact! if you're hardened during the revival animation, and your teammate gets knocked back, that doesn't stop your animation

good ol bluetooth revival

[tired wraith]

So basically.

GAMMA

Shout out to Twice, Overhaul and Kirishima for giving me a trigger finger using the gamma button 😭😭😭

[brisk token]

Bluetooth revival

[sturdy owl]

and as for this: I find hardening works best when you expect it to break
use it at the start of the battle, not because it's going to stick around, but because it helps you build momentum in the first few exchanges. if anything it's good if it breaks before you run out, because then you'll be able to use it whenever you want instead of waiting for a full recharge

[tired wraith]

It definitely helped against that Toga

[sturdy owl]

likewise I'd reccomend dropping hardening at 10% or so because sometimes having 50% ready it more useful than 40% that's unusable because it's doing a full recharge

[tired wraith]

She unloaded the whole chamber and I still had shield

😭

[sturdy owl]

YEAH EXACTLY LMAO

in general I wouldn't recommend hardening mid-battle because it's like. the startup time is just too dangerous to handle. the only exception is if you're in a 1v1 and you've just knocked them down, you have enough time to get hardening up if you think it'll be useful

[sturdy owl]

honestly I just will never get over how unstoppable assault kiri is
the way you can terminator walk straight towards someone, unflinching and determined to punch them in the thraot

I love nothing more than the visible terror of someone backing away from you, throwing out attacks knowing that they can't do anything to stop what's happening

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/amazing-world-of-gumball-gif-18036905

Me walking through Denki's alphas and traps with SA and his tuning activated

[sturdy owl]

LMAO LITERALLY

I actually love how tech denki isn't that much better into assault kiri

like Neon was talking abt how tech denki might beat assault kiri, but honestly he doesn't

oh, cute mines you have there! would be a shame if I beta'd straight through them

[tired wraith]

It's literally still the same game plan for Kirishima

https://tenor.com/view/all-might-gif-26275222

I love how consistent bullying denki is

As Abridged Goku once said

[sturdy owl]

DUDE it's so funny when I have an entire team full focusing me like I'm the hellbringer

when people talk about this game they act like assault kiri is the worst character ever, but in-game suddenly he's a big enough threat that I'm pulling attention away from my ibara teammate

[tired wraith]

Ngl assault Kiri and AFO would be an evil combination for wake-ups

Either eat the gamma from kiri or get caught in AFO's gamma

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY-

tbh I really wanna lean more into the kinds of combos that assault kiri can have with other characters

so far my main one is having one or two teamamtes with revival SAs so that he simply cannot be killed

[tired wraith]

Have your friend hug strike dabi so you can just

[sturdy owl]

tho it's funny when I'm teamed with tsu and ibara, but somehow I'm the last one alive. tank as ever

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/punched-one-punch-man-gif-9054499

Strike Dabi is most vulnerable when he's hugging

[sturdy owl]

god I actually LOVE the same-but-opposite, where I punch a crazy torch hugging my teammate

[tired wraith]

Would Kirishima be a super senior

[sturdy owl]

I do not know this reference aksjdhaskjdh

[tired wraith]

Ima try and make a compilation of my mhur clips

Just need a good video editor app

[sturdy owl]

god me using openshot on desktop to make videos and it being super clunky and awkward to figure out

[tired wraith]

@sturdy owl

[sturdy owl]

LMAO PERFECT oh my god that's so good for that clip askjdhkajdh

[tired wraith]

They should have added some way for tech denki to end up dizzy

Maybe if he used the lock on too much

[sturdy owl]

I've been using tech denki all afternoon on switch and oh my GOD it's crazy that there's no punishment for me just sitting in aim mode waiting for a yellow triangle to show up

[royal ravine]

I go gamma 9 and level everything naturally until it's like 3 or 8 or if I got extra levels

[cosmic cedar]

Anyone else have the Old Uniform skin for Kiri

The default version of it has an insane amount of red slots I feel like 😰

[royal ravine]

It's good for red kiri

That's what I use

I give the levels to the teamates that need it etc

[cosmic cedar]

Yeah it feels great on red Kiri

Just need to stock up on Kurogiri data

[royal ravine]

You can always roll to next box too

[cosmic cedar]

I think that makes for a good green slot for Special Tuning

[royal ravine]

I think it's great even perfect for red kiri

[ruby shore]

Is tech Denki's tuning good with Kiri?

[robust orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/cinema-mha-anime-meme-gif-13338323793315594883

[sturdy owl]

NOW IT'S MY TURN!
honestly perfect edit for assault kiri. you alpha for mobility, whiff a gamma, whiff a few betas, and then you bring it home with THE ONE GAMMA THAT MATTERS

[crimson mango]

Does anyone can Teach the Canacelings of the Skillkit?

[round bane]

It’s simple really
Alpha- every thing cancels before slash, all you gotta do is press the button before you let go of your alpha button for example alpha+beta will make Kiri automatically bring his shield (or tap to make him slam). This works in the air and is how the beta movement tech is made
Beta-He can roll out of beta, this keeps you from having to slam and waste charges and can trip people up
You can’t cancel gamma but you don’t need to it’s quick with super armor

[crimson mango]

Okay, thank you very Much

[worthy walrus]

How do yall keep up with all of the action and chaos happening in team mode

Everyone be going so fast and disappearing into the distance, I feel like I'm throwing rocks at nothing half the time

[sturdy owl]

I'm assault kiri main but I still understand the sentiment of like... it took me so long to understand anything that's happening in this game

I think there's just a certain amount of game sense you have to pick up slowly by sheer virtue of playing this game enough

tho you can try to speed it up by studying other people's gameplay or your own gameplay in hindsight - cause it's way easier to understand this game when you aren't also trying to aim and throw out attacks and a million other things

at this point my subconscious does more work than I do on purpose, it's all muscle memory and instinct that tells me how to aim my attacks

[carmine dagger]

Yeah that's true

[carmine dagger]

I tried that too, sadly it still took me a whole season(season 4) to gain some decent(not good) game sense

[sturdy owl]

oh yeah real, I'm going on like... 4 months of playing, and not very often at that, and I've still got so many blindspots that I can vaguely feel but can't identify

it's such a balance of like, consciously understanding why/how things work, but also having enough experience that you can just act on it in the moment without thinking

[carmine dagger]

Wait I'm confused, can you explain?

[sturdy owl]

there are times that I mess up in a fight for one reason or another, and I can FEEL that it was some kinda failure on my part. there's something I could've done there, but I don't know why I didn't realize it in the moment. blind spots that I don't understand yet

[carmine dagger]

Ohhhhh, yh I get that

My issue is I'm usually way too reckless and prejudiced

[sturdy owl]

GOD yeah, learning when/why to risk things vs playing it safe is such a skill that takes so long

[carmine dagger]

I mean you can't say when you see all these meta characters you don't feel like ripping em a new one?

[sturdy owl]

especially when you have to be aggro in ranked to earn points - it's hard to learn how to hold back, when being defensive often loses you points

[carmine dagger]

It's funny that I'm so reckless and emotional against some specific characters, because I'm an Aizawa main

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I've heard a few people say assault kiris are the most violent players in this game and it is. so real

[sturdy owl]

me getting ESPECIALLY aggro against denkis and bakugos as assault kiri

I mentioned the other day that mhur is basically a roleplaying game, everyone I know starts adapting the personality/biases of their mains

[carmine dagger]

Nah, it's probably Aizawa players, for some odd reason we're cursed with extremely bad luck during fights

So thx to that we're usually on do or die timing

[carmine dagger]

YEAH, EXACTLY

Bro I FEEL like the character at times

[sturdy owl]

assault kiri has a very similar thing going on with the fact that like. I've got ZERO range. my options are either get up in their face, or run away as fast as possible. and if I'm facing someone who can punish me for running away, sometimes I've just gotta accept my kamikaze fate and tell my teammates to forget about me

[carmine dagger]

Like when I'm on deku I'm on a very save everyone timing, while someone like Aizawa, I'm trying to maximize my plays

[carmine dagger]

Yhhhhh, bro I FEEEELLLLLL that

[sturdy owl]

oh my god me when I was playing deku on my playstation alt, teammate in vc says "oh, no, toga's dying in the storm" and I no hesitation shout "NOT ON MY WATCH!" and revive her before we both escape the storm
literally posessed by deku

[carmine dagger]

Bro anytime I play strike bakugo I sound like a 10 year old whenever I hit my gamma, I shout something dumb like BOOOOMMMMMM

[carmine dagger]

🤣🤣🤣

[sturdy owl]

ME WHEN STRIKE BAKUGO MAKES ME FORGET ALL SELF-PRESERVATION

[carmine dagger]

BROOOOOOOO

[sturdy owl]

and mr. compress makes me stop caring about winning at ALL. suddenly I am the goofy magician man who wants to impress everyone with sleight of hand

me, gamma'ing behind someone to start spamming alpha from inside a bush: OHOHO WHERE'D I GO?????

[carmine dagger]

I'm trolling whenever I play froppy, I really don't care at that point

[sturdy owl]

and all in a similar vein, assault kiri makes me this self-sacrificial martyr. if my teammates are getting attacked- you leave them alone FIGHT ME INSTEAD!

I'll be on 38hp but my froppy is taking heavy damage and I'm like HOLD ON I'VE GOT YOU

[carmine dagger]

Someone finna die today and it ain't gonna me type of timing

[sturdy owl]

REAL

[carmine dagger]

Facts, let her heal up real quick, she finna rez me(she's used her rez already and I know that too)

[sturdy owl]

live with honour and die with glory, if kiri's dying you bet he's going to valhalla

[carmine dagger]

REINHART

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY
I don't actually play overwatch but someone described assault kiri as the reinhart of mhur and it's stuck with me

[carmine dagger]

Easily, I just finished season 4 of my hero and Kiri is definitely a guy ready to sacrifice himself

[sturdy owl]

LITERALLY

[carmine dagger]

Yh, sadly, I'm more of a ramattra guy

[sturdy owl]

assault kiri is peak "go on without me, I've got them"

[carmine dagger]

A very suffer as I have type of dude

[sturdy owl]

tho I will fully admit if there's a nejire anywhere near me I turn into a whimpering coward, I'll see you guys later catch me on the opposite side of the map

likewise if I see a denki I am frothing at the mouth, let me BEAT HIM UP

[carmine dagger]

🤣🤣🤣

[tired wraith]

"A team invite has been sent!"

goes to check

is met with 5 minutes of loading NOTIFICATIONS

[sturdy owl]

put a denki in front of me and I'm a cat playing with his prey

[tired wraith]

Did somebody say denki?

[carmine dagger]

Yh, Lowkey, I pray for twice when I play Kiri cuz they gonna gamma and I'm gonna gamma and someone is going to be taking 210 damage

[sturdy owl]

shoutouts to whichever maniac it was who tried to tell me that "strike denki can actually stand his ground against assault kiri pretty well" cause no he can't

what's he gonna do? stun me? he's got 400hp to chew through

[carmine dagger]

Bro is going to be turned into fresh pizza dough

[sturdy owl]

LMAO

god honestly assault kiri is just such a fun character I'll never get over him

[tired wraith]

It was Neon wasn't it.

[sturdy owl]

no Neon is ADAMANT that assault kiri is his worst nightmare

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/stomp-mario-rucka-rucka-ali-itsrucka-kick-gif-18667372

[carmine dagger]

Yh, neither will I, and knowing this meta, Kiri is on top for a while

[sturdy owl]

assault kiri loses a lot of matchups but denki can't touch him, at least

[tired wraith]

Denki can't touch my kiri period

[sturdy owl]

literally the only time a denki does anything to me is if he's getting pot shots while his teammates actually give me trouble

[tired wraith]

My Kirishima is a ground type pokemon

[sturdy owl]

NO JOKE I made this exact joke an hour ago

[tired wraith]

LOL

[sturdy owl]

to Neon, nonetheless

[tired wraith]

Tbh I need to get more kirishima clips

Of just spamming beta

[sturdy owl]

honestly I've been making so much assault kiri content for my channel I need to start making smaller clips of real highlight moments

[tired wraith]

So I can use Bucky's "AGAIN!" thing over it

LOL

[sturdy owl]

LMAO

god I just love how awesome assault kiri looks when you know how to play him

it heals my soul every time someone says I make assault kiri look like a high tier

[tired wraith]

who said we knew what we were doing?

F IT WE BALLLLLLL

[sturdy owl]

LMAO HONESTLY-

literally the original reason I started playing assault kiri was "screw it I can't aim for my life, let's play melee where you don't need to aim"

AND STILL THAT STANDS TRUE

despite having not a lot of ammo and pretty slow reload times, you can miss half your moves as assault kiri and it's just. fine

[tired wraith]

To quote a line from Wario in Shadow vs Wario rap battles...

"I don't need to bring a '9, THESE GUNS WILL DO 💪"

[sturdy owl]

ABSOLUTELY, ASSAULT KIRI-CORE!!!

I love how often I just walk under a roof, or into a building, and whoever was chasing me is suddenly gone

weird could've sworn... there was a strike deku tryna murder me... strange...

[tired wraith]

They should have never added Nejire

😭

She stays in the air for WAY too long

[sturdy owl]

LITERALLY how hasn't she gotten nerfed at all

like even IF we accept it as gacha reality that a character has to be super OP for the first season they're released so that people spend money (which is, already I hate that) then you'd think! they could take her down a notch to highlight kurogiri instead

at least that tuning update is a breath of fresh air

[tired wraith]

Like you don't even have to touch her damaging

Just make her not be jn the air for so long

She's in the air like 85% of the match

[sturdy owl]

LITERALLY like I just- and she flies so high too, it's not just like she has good mobility that avoids grounded moves, she's like THREE STORIES UP

not to mention her beta having so much knockback makes it nigh impossible to even reach her

[tired wraith]

The only way you damage her is if you're another nejire

[sturdy owl]

like as assault kiri, with three beta charges, super armour on all attacks, hardening up for a 40% defense boost, and 400hp to tank attacks with - YOU'D THINK THAT'D BE ENOUGH JUICE TO GET UP TO NEJIRE'S LEVEL AND HIT HER AT LEAST ONCE

but she just clicks beta and you're on the ground with the air knocked out of your lungs

the only way I get ANY damage off on nejire is if she's so busy with other people that she doesn't notice me beta'ing up towards her
but even then, not only does it take all 3 betas to land a max of 140 damage on her ONCE - it makes me the new biggest target and she just destroys my healthbar

unlike hawks, who I do manage to kill sometimes, when I catch him in a bad spot and punish him for getting too close to assault kiri - I have NEVER killed a nejire without it being super cheap like jumpscaring her while she's healing

[tired wraith]

THIS IS...

actually great.

But I still think tunings shouldn't have a better advantage whether the outfit is PUR or not.

Meaning more levels

@sturdy owl I just thought of a funny thought

Assault Kirishima STOMPS enemies like Mario.

Strike Kirishima spins into them like Sonic

[sturdy owl]

100% agree, all skins should be made equal

[sturdy owl]

also this is SO choice

assault vs strike is really mario vs sonic

[tired wraith]

Headcanon: Kirishima was a HUGE gamer as a kid and loved Mario and Sonic

He'd watch those sprite animations of Mario vs Sonic

[sturdy owl]

JGFDHGDHGDHGD YES

just like how he loves old school heroes, he loves SNES/sega dreamcast

[tired wraith]

He just got his friends together for the mario and sonic death battle. None of them cared but watching Kiri geek off was amusing.

[sturdy owl]

YES

honestly love the idea that all his friends just adore when they catch him being a true nerd

[tired wraith]

Kirishima yapping about some fat Italian and blue rat thing to Mina.

when Mina just staring into his oblivious eyes

[sturdy owl]

mina NEVER has any idea what he's talking about but she's glad he's so happy!

[tired wraith]

He tried showing Bakugo who called it stupid.

Kiri spent the rest of the day crying in his dorm

[tired wraith]

He's definitely Knuckles #1 fan

Frfr

[sturdy owl]

early into their friendship bakugo called it stupid and made him cry, later into their friendship bakugo calls his interests dumb on the regular but kiri understands he says it with love

bakugo, listening to kiri infodump for thirty minutes straight: that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. you won the boss fight tho, right?

[tired wraith]

"I ain't friends with no bi-"

[sturdy owl]

kiri, struggling with a boss fight:
bakugo, standing behind him pretending like he hasn't been watching this entire time: we legally can't be friends anymore if you lose this fight
kiri, unlocking: BET?

[tired wraith]

Bakugo is forced to ONLY spectate his friends play video games because he kept blowing everything up whenever he lost.

[sturdy owl]

kiri tried to play games with him and lose on purpose but bakugo can smell fake wins like a bloodhound and it only made him angrier

[tired wraith]

Mina being ruthless and dog walking Bakugo in every game however.

[sturdy owl]

I like the idea that bakugo only enjoys games if you match his energy EXACTLY because he's too busy trash talking you to blow up the console

[tired wraith]

Mina: I'm like the mother of this friend group!

is that a bad thing xd

[worthy walrus]

No, it looks pretty

[arctic flint]

Everything is on high after all

but it sucks because beach ends up flashbanging me

[celest locust]

Anyone have a good red kiri tuning build?

[robust orbit]

@round bane

[robust orbit]

Kiri slander?!

[celest ore]

BRO HE SHOWED UP OUT OF NOWHERE POSING AND AURA FARMING

[robust orbit]

BECAUSE HES LIKE THAT

[round bane]

The 2 builds I show are solid, you don’t have to follow the exact set up there are things you can do better

[robust orbit]

Interesting build

[round bane]

But the first one is just all around amazing 2 very amazing special skills, good amount of red slots and yellow for defense, and purple if you got Denki

[round bane]

The second one could use a lot of improvement but it’s all about damafe
Double HP attack power
The 3 alpha damages (Denki is purple remember that )
2 gamma damages (one is red Denki the other is blue Bakugo)

[robust orbit]

Interesting

[round bane]

7 passive spots, plus the special tun give you more damage, and they each stack with 2 and alpha for 3. The rest of the stuff is not the best to have but just put random stuff on
For the support special skill there are alot of routes to go down, I would go reinforced revive if I could because even tho you don’t have an insta revive the times you can get a revive you got a 250 hp character. Something that will be more consistent is divine protection for like 3 second big box opens, or revenge support for extra defense

And keep in mind, this is base level 1 damage, just imagine how they could rise with tuning

[robust orbit]

Good combo per usual

[robust orbit]

Personally I like to alpha gamma if they try to run then I alpha beta @round bane

[round bane]

The main thing to understand is when you uncharge beta someone, they don’t get fully knocked down, so you can quickly catch them with alpha roll to make them stand up completely straight

[robust orbit]

Ik

I hope that never gets nerfed

[robust orbit]

Wait

What

If u alpha beta then they get knocked

[round bane]

If you alpha slash they get knocked

However

[robust orbit]

Oh I see what ur saying

[round bane]

If you alpha but don’t slash (keep in the roll animation), you can immediately beta then you get to immediately roll again and catch them yeah

[robust orbit]

I understand it now

[round bane]

That’s how the combo works and why I say “alpha beta alpha beta”, ultimately it’s just beta alpha that’s the only important part anything else is up to you

[robust orbit]

Man if only I had red drive so I can enjoy the game man

[round bane]

Congrats you can now play red Kirishima as an S tier damage dealer

[round bane]

One day bro, you’ll get him one day

[robust orbit]

Idk if I have meny more you'll get him one day in me

[round bane]

Men stick it out

[robust orbit]

What?

[round bane]

You haven’t heard that phrase? Sticking out to the end no matter how dire it is?

[robust orbit]

Ngl I heard it but not like that it was always push through keep on going or keep pressing on

[round bane]

I like stick it out it’s a bit more unique compared to the other ones that are very direct essentially

Perfect blend 🏒

[robust orbit]

Understandable

[round bane]

Anyways yeah that’s one of the major reasons why Kirishima is S tier, works on everyone, any health or gp, basically anywhere

And there’s a lot of freedom there are 4 things you can do at the end of the combo

[robust orbit]

Yea red kirishima is actually a massive pain to fight if he's good

He works fantastic with teammates and can be in the front line and in the back line

[celest locust]

Would you change todo for denki? In the first build?

[round bane]

Yes tho I’d change dabi not Shoto specifically because purple Shoto does the same thigh but better but it don’t matter anyways yes, out in tech Denki whenever you can he probably a top 3 passive skill

[celest locust]

Ok cool, I kinda like the undefeatable it seems to have a nice mix

The old uniform seems good but kiri probably likes some defense

[round bane]

Ye and to note the passives aren’t perfect you want if you can get it
Tech Denki
Mic
Endeavor
And red dabi but if you don’t have red dabi Bakugo is fine
Rapid Bakugo

[celest locust]

I have all the characters so that’s no problem

[celest locust]

So the reds should be dabi mic and endeavor?

[round bane]

100%, atleast always out endeavor and mic. Hp attack power is the best passive skill in the game with no question especially since you’re a strike character

You don’t necessarily have to put red dabi on, if you like gamma more you can sync with your rapid Bakugo tun for 2 gammas and go down that route aswell, or put on beta attack power if you want 1 buff to all your moves, plus 2 hp attack powers it’s all on you

[celest locust]

Yeah fair enough with red kiri part of my thinks the gamma is super good to juice up

[novel cipher]

First game playing Assault Kiri with the intent of maining him

Hoping to eventually get Strike Kiri but Assault is sufficiently manly for now

[novel cipher]

Managed to pick up this absolute gem of a volume
I saw Kiri on the cover and bought it immediately

More motivation to work on my gameplay ;D

[sturdy owl]

oh my god that is so insanely sick, I want it now

[novel cipher]

"Gotta go harder!"

[sturdy owl]

kiri's quirk is literally the coolest and there is no changing my mind

immovable object and unstoppable force, obsidian-edge sword arms and giant squid beak indestructible
he's the BEST

[novel cipher]

My favourite character from the anime used to be Momo but I'm really starting to like Kiri icl

Him and Tamaki are two of my favourite characters

[sturdy owl]

tamaki my BELOVED-
kiri is my absolute fav, then tamaki and katsuki

rock eater is actually a deliberate intersection of suneater and kiri's quirk hsgshdgshdg

HONESTLY rock eater started as a funny steam username to use in mhur and then kept graduating until it's since become My Name in mhur spaces hsgdhsgd

elsewhere I'm sunseeker tho which is also very fun

[sturdy owl]

GOD your whole server profile is so awesome I love the kiri rep

I need to keep learning to draw manga so I can draw my favourite boy...

[novel cipher]

I need to learn to draw anything more complex than stick figures or basic pixel art 😭

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I am like. technically really skilled at art, but I've never learned how to draw actual people so I CAN'T MAKE MHA FANART

[novel cipher]

Do you just practise in your own time or take classes or smth?

[sturdy owl]

I'm completely self taught, just kinda copy from reference and slowly figure out like. how stuff works

[novel cipher]

"Whoa. As a man, I can respect that."

[sturdy owl]

"Thanks! I owe you one."

honestly tho I am super proud of my art, I can copy anime/manga and make them look rly good

just. have no idea where to start with drawing my own stuff from scratch shfshsgshsgs

[novel cipher]

Well you have the first step down, if you managed it for other kinds of art I'm sure you'll be able to figure that out too!

[sturdy owl]

yes! I def can I just- I'm very adhd I have so many hobbies that I'm not always working on it shsfgsgshd
too busy making goofy youtube videos and writing mha fanfic to work on my art

[novel cipher]

Mhur videos 👀?

[sturdy owl]

yes!!! I'm even a community creator in this server-
so far I mostly stream mhur and make stream highlights sometimes!! I started it deliberately to show off how cool assault kiri is but now it's just super fun

I actually have a 3 hour vod from saturday that I wanna make into a highlight vid, that's gonna be a monster to edit... but I'll be so happy to post it

[novel cipher]

Dropped a sub on yt The Kiri content must be spread

[sturdy owl]

hsfhsgshs thank you!!!! I WILL be a good source of assault kiri content!!

the best part of my streams is that even if I die or change characters, I have a kiri vtuber rig so the boy is ALWAYS onscreen!

[novel cipher]

"That's super manly!"

Also unrelated but I saw that you have the switch role in your profile, but if you ever do go on switch on EU servers I'd be down to join and try and support in some way

I also picked up Tsuyu again recently

[sturdy owl]

oooooh awesome thank you!!
tbh I mostly have switch and playstation alts specifically to play with people on console while we wait for crossplay, which- I actually don't do very often cause controllers mess up my hands, which sucks
BUT the universe thought it'd be very funny to give me tech denki on my first 10x on switch, despite 100 red drive rolls getting me zero skillsets, so at least I'm SET on switch

[novel cipher]

The universe thought it was funny to give ME tech todo and a PUR costume for him AND cementoss in 2 10x rolls on pc and I can't even run the game on pc bc my "pc" is a laptop that might as well be running on a potato battery

[cosmic cedar]

Don't mean to interrupt but I really liked this clutch moment

[sturdy owl]

I can't believe mhur would rather give us good luck on useless alts than our actual main platforms... tho on playstation it was as cruel as pc I don't get anything on there

[sturdy owl]

god I love the sheer SPEED that red drive can operate at, what a sick clip

[novel cipher]

How I feel watching this

He looks like a blast to play I hate that I have rapid toga and not him 😭

[cosmic cedar]

I'm glad I pitied him

Well worth the wait

[novel cipher]

I wish I had the money or time for that

The only factor I have left to bet on is luck

Mine just so happens to be abysmal

Ig I'll grind tickets until he's on banner again 😭

Maybe 1 or 2 seasons 🙏

[sturdy owl]

next season I'll be able to pity red drive if I want to but tbh I am more tempted to just keep tickets on hand for new kiri skins

[sturdy owl]

I've been saving tickets since red drive released and am at almost 1800... it's a long road but worth it

I am assault kiri's most faithful follower for I genuinely prefer playing him over red drive lmao

[novel cipher]

All I have is his base unbreakable which I'm planning to build with assault shiggy and Iida (I don't have shiggy so it'll be a while 😭) but nothing else

[novel cipher]

I just like Kiris's vibe in general

[sturdy owl]

next season tuning will get easier to work towards!!!
I actually have unbreakable, undefeatable, and kung fu, but I am holding out hope that they release a parallel worlds skin for him...

[novel cipher]

Oh yeah parallel world Kiri would be PEAK

[sturdy owl]

tbh I kinda wanna have red drive just because I deserve to have both kiris

[novel cipher]

Imagine we get that and Tamaki in the same season

[sturdy owl]

IT WOULD BE!
that's why I have sworn to always have either at least 1k tickets or close to it so that I can pity the skin if it releases

[sturdy owl]

ironically that's my FEAR because I might have to choose!!! they'd probably be on different banners, since if kiri gets a new skin they'll probably put it on a red drive feature

and I learned when red drive released that 100 rolls might not get you the character you want

[novel cipher]

I found that you REALLY have to not be expecting something to get anything, I got rapid toga, Overhaul and mic in 2 10x rolls, and my luck after that dissipated entirely (this was 2 seasons ago )

[sturdy owl]

see that's the thing, is the only character I've EVER GOTTEN was mic twice in my first week of the game
ever since then, across like... 105 rolls for red drive, a few 10x rolls before red drive got announced, and another like ~40 rolls since then, I have gotten ZERO CHARACTERS

I didn't just not get red drive, I did 100 skillset rolls and walked away with NOTHING but costumes and emotes

my entire account is so barren lmao

so now I spitefully sit on 1700 roll tickets hoping they do something good next season

[novel cipher]

I mean next season will probably be double character and maybe double skillset, pretty sure it'll be smth like that for the anniversary

[sturdy owl]

(this also means I've only ever had 280 hero souls since starting this game, which makes it very hard to buy hero tickets or PUR recolours)

[sturdy owl]

yeah I've heard to expect that for the 1.5iversary so it'll be a good time for me to have 2k tickets

[novel cipher]

Yeah I can imagine, I was helped a LOT by the notebook for hero tickets but I'm still missing ibara, kendo and endeavor

I hate that I don't have kendo yet especially, she will be massively helpful

[sturdy owl]

I could only ever buy one hero ticket with souls (which I used to unlock kiri) and then got my two notebook hero tickets, which one I spent on iida (and I never play him but wallrunner is nice) and the second one has been unspent for months but I'm finally considering using it on endeavor

that means my only non-free characters are assault kiri, iida, mic, and probably endeavor

[novel cipher]

I've been playing around with Endeavor and like him tbh, but probably not enough to main

Oh wait I'm also missing afo from ticket I forgot 😭

[sturdy owl]

I used him in training mode a bunch last night and currently he's the only character I've ever truly ENJOYED anywhere near as much as assault kiri

[novel cipher]

Probably priority would be

• Kendo
• Endeavor
• AFO
• Ibara

[sturdy owl]

kiri still has my heart, but endeavor seems like a good damage-forward character I could use in ranked

signed, guy who literally hates ranked so much but wants the rewards it offers

[novel cipher]

You'll need to be careful about his mobility, it is ABYSMAL 😭

[sturdy owl]

see coming from assault kiri, endeavor feels like he has god tier mobility

it's all about perspective

[novel cipher]

I got used to Twice, Iida and Tsuyu before Kiri so I can't really talk 😭

[sturdy owl]

LMAO yeah I can imagine compared to them endeavor is lacking

but assault kiri was my first ever main so my standards are like, buried six feet down

[novel cipher]

(and rapid toga but that was a phase I'd rather not admit to ;P)

[novel cipher]

Tbh I feel like Kiri has at least subpar mobility, like it isn't TERRIBLE but on the worse side anyway

[sturdy owl]

also I am apparently cracked at endeavor cause after picking him up for the literal first time ever, my expert-ranked friend ran through the entire cast and could only consistently beat me with red deku, and pulled some KOs with iida and crazy torch

[novel cipher]

What I love about Endeavor is that you can find success with him in virtually any situation, indoors and outdoors

His beta is so fun to land

[sturdy owl]

having super armour on his mobility options is honestly super sick, but the problem with kiri is how TOAST your mobility is if they can break your super armour, or just can deal damage while you're tryna move

[sturdy owl]

YES I am already obsessed with using my beta as a predict, so that my opponent finds themselves running straight into the explosion that I planted in front of them

[novel cipher]

That's something I plan to remedy with Wall Runner, I've gotten pretty good with the wallrun techs so even if I can take full advantage of it since he doesn't have recipro, it'll still be a massive improvement

[sturdy owl]

as someone who permanently has wallrunner on assault kiri IT'S SO GOOD, IT FIXES SO MUCH

[novel cipher]

Also I love imagining how funny it'd be to run up a wall and gamma as soon as someone tries chasing you up

[sturdy owl]

I don't even know a lot of wallrunner tech but it's just great

[sturdy owl]

I have a clip actually of me doing the same-but-opposite of this, where I wallran up to an opponent then gamma'd before they could even register that I'd shown up

[novel cipher]

This is how I learned, it applies to any character if you ignore the boost from recipro afaik

[novel cipher]

They never see it coming

[novel cipher]

Perfection

[sturdy owl]

oooooh v useful tysm

[novel cipher]

Earlier today I managed to use a jump gamma to jump over a mirio gamma and down him

Gamma is so fun when it hits

[sturdy owl]

oh I LOVE jumping over shields with gamma

me when strike shoto puts up an ice wall against me and boxes himself in so my gamma is basically free to hit

also it's HILARIOUS when compress puts up his shield against assault kiri cause what do you think that'll do for you?

[novel cipher]

Half of the time I can just run around it and beta them and then catch their immediate gamma after wakeup with one of my own

[novel cipher]

I had this happen at least 3 times with 3 different players today 😭

[sturdy owl]

it's genuinely so funny just punching straight through it

[novel cipher]

When they back themself up against a wall I love to alpha them too

[sturdy owl]

YES alpha is so choice when running them up against a wall

[novel cipher]

I find that beta is harder to predict wakeup with than gamma but somehow more satisfying to land even if it does less damage

Like alpha them into a wall, beta on wakeup, then gamma on next wakeup

But alpha is still my lowest priority to level up tbh

After being recommended by Jo I started going b9 g9 a9

[sturdy owl]

yeah I've made the full circuit on gamma priority, then alpa priority, and now beta priority

beta def takes more skill to predict on wakeup but I LOVE IT you're so right

gamma on wakeup feels like I'm making fun of them, but beta is pure skill

rn I'm going b4>g4>b9>g9 and letting alpha level up naturally along the way, tho sometimes I'll top it off to 4 for the extra range

[novel cipher]

Kinda reminds me of a harder-to-land on wakeup version of Mt. Lady beta

[sturdy owl]

oh yeah I tried her once and her kit felt similar to kiri

[novel cipher]

LOOK AT THE BOY HE'S SO PRECIOUS ❤️

I love this volume so much I bought another 3 and haven't even opened them bc of this one

[sturdy owl]

your honour I love him SO MUCH

[novel cipher]

More combo-focused in her case though

[sturdy owl]

I have yet to start seriously collecting manga screencaps but this is my fav kiri I have on my phone

besties sabotage school photos together

[novel cipher]

They're so perfect Kiri gets along with everyone I love him so much

I love the dynamic he and Mina have too

Her and Tamaki in a double season would make it harder to decide but would be awesome

[sturdy owl]

YES they are peak best friends imo I love them so much

[sturdy owl]

god so many friends for kiri... that'd seriously be so sick

[novel cipher]

When I get on my laptop imma make concepts for them

There are already so many Mina ones but I haven't seen any for Tamaki yet 😔

[sturdy owl]

I think I saw a tamaki character concept at one point but I can't remember it

he is in MHOJ2 so like... maybe...

[novel cipher]

I mean they surely will add him at some point, they need to compete the Big 3 with the best member

[sturdy owl]

THEY DO!
nejire's release update on steam literally said meet the big three! DAWG I WISH I COULD!

[novel cipher]

I just found a SenseiGoGo video that confirmed the s10 characters and they are in fact not Mina OR Tamaki
They're ||Shinso and Monoma|| 😭

I was expecting it because they were leaked alr but I still held out hope

Ig they aren't bad picks though

[novel cipher]

Managed it twice

(ignore the riveting looting simulator I forgot to edit out ;P)

[severe cloud]

Expert-ranked friend being me xD

Also I completely forgot to use twice lol

[novel cipher]

Does twice gamma ignore kiris special action?

[sturdy owl]

PEAK ASSAULT KIRI GAMEPLAY, YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!

[sturdy owl]

yk what TRUE twice might give endeavor some trouble lmao

[sturdy owl]

love how I honestly don't know cause it's SO HARD to figure out what does/doesn't break hardening

[severe cloud]

Idk i just use it for mobility haha

[severe cloud]

Possibly. I also didnt use red baku 😂

I figured he'd have trouble cause rapidgo was struggling but forgot how many endeavours I've murked with him

Cause he's my main

[sturdy owl]

true you prolly know what to actually do with him

[sturdy owl]

tbh I love how confident I am as assault kiri against strike bakugos because "I know your kit, I can take you"

[severe cloud]

And im confident against other assault kiris hahaha

[sturdy owl]

jsgshsgjs I love that clip where toga stole my blood and you were like YEAH? TRY ME

[severe cloud]

🫸💥

[novel cipher]

I have confirmed that Kiri's special action ignores Twice gamma

You kinda stop for a second but it's negligible

At least that's what happened to me

[sturdy owl]

good to know, good to know hopefully hardening can help in that matchup

[novel cipher]

Yeah, praying it wasn't a one-off thing 😭

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY-

it can be so hard to know that smthn is reliabke

like smthn I noticed with strike dabi is that hardening doesn't do anything about his hug, but if you manage to attack into his beta you just kinda trade hits and both take knockback

dodging his hug is obviously way more useful but it's a nice outcome at least

[novel cipher]

I mean, you COULD dodge the hug, but consider this:

"BIIIIIGGGG WIPEOUT!"

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY

GET WRECKED!

[novel cipher]

Icl I'm having a lot of fun with Kiri in solos (when the lobby isn't 50% bots ofc 😭 ) particularly on UA Island

I just like that map in general for pretty much any character

[novel cipher]

"I'll show you how I do it my way!"

[sturdy owl]

GET THAT BAKUGO!

[sturdy owl]

honestly assault kiri in solos can be SO GOOD cause his biggest problem is getting teamed up on!
tho it sucks sometimes when you final two and realize it's a hawks camping atop a skyscraper and. welp. not much I can do about that

omg that mirio clip has the BEST level 9 gamma hitbox

LMAO- MOMO WAS ASKING TO GET GAMMA'D

and that bakugo chase oh my GOD- he thought he was safe, huh

why does strike shoto always use ice walls against assault kiri? you're just asking for trouble-

[novel cipher]

The Plus Ultra was entirely on accident but I acted on it

[sturdy owl]

ENDED UP BEING PERFECT!
genuinely hilarious that she boxed herself into this tiny corner right as you plus ultra'd

[novel cipher]

I'm pretty sure me using beta on her shield forced her to stop the charge, not sure though
Either way the whole sequence was wild 😂

[sturdy owl]

I'm pretty sure getting bounced doesn't stop her beta, but I could imagine it being a gut reaction that bouncing someone makes for a good time to finish the beta and fully set up the shield
but uhhhh maybe not against assault kiri-

kinda like how landing any of assault kiri's moves to deliver full knockback gives you a solid window to throw up hardening

[tired wraith]

Did you happen to gave killed a shiggy who was trying to heal?

In destruction zone

He was wearing a awakened heat outfit

[novel cipher]

Could be but I don't remember

[tired wraith]

...

[novel cipher]

Wait destruction zone is UA right?

[tired wraith]

Ye

[tired wraith]

That would be me.

I was that shiggy

So.

I'm not mad but at the same time

That kiri that killed me

Ruined an honest to God perfect matxh

No nejire

Only flying character was my teammate Hawks

It was Strike Shiggy up jn that

[cosmic cedar]

It has a lot of red slots so yeah it's good for full on damage

[novel cipher]

For now using base unbreakable bc it's all I have

Not terrible but could be much better

[arctic flint]

OMG I LOVE RED KIRI

IM JUST CAUSING MAYHEM

[celest ore]

[sturdy owl]

PEAK example of how much damage assault kiri can do even at low levels, and just a show of how joyous it is to land your beta on people who probably can't even see you- THAT'S SUPER MANLY!

[celest ore]

I didn’t even know he was right there lol

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY peak assault kiri. throw out a beta and see what happens

[novel cipher]

I'm so confused with the update did Kiri's alpha get better or worse?

[sturdy owl]

in total I think it's better?
he gets his 3rd charge at level 4 now, but to balance it out it takes longer to reload and the level 9 boost is now that if you use all 3 charges it has a shorter cooldown than normal

which... giving him that 3rd charge for free wouldn't have broken him or anything but IT'S FINE

[novel cipher]

I mean I don't use the alpha much but I think this'll make it a better escape option to be honest

[sturdy owl]

yeah tbh I like this buff because being able to use it 3 times in a row for mobility is gonna be nice

[cosmic cedar]

I don't really mind I barely touch the Alpha on Assault Kiri 🤷‍♂️

[sturdy owl]

ik the alpha CAN do a lot of damage but I can't figure out how to sustain the juggle for the LIFE of me. kiri always just speeds past my target and drops the chain

[cosmic cedar]

Extra charge seems handy

[sturdy owl]

I def prefer more charges even if it comes with a longer reload

[novel cipher]

I only use it when the opponent is near a wall, makes it much easier

[sturdy owl]

yeah 100% using alpha into a wall/corner is tons of free damage and I LOVE IT
it's actually pretty easy to do the full chain on a player with gp but that relies on them like. having gp lmao

[unkempt folio]

LETS GO ALPHA BUFF

[round bane]

Yes sirrrrrr

[celest ore]

had no idea ibara mains existed

[carmine dagger]

KIRI GOT BUFFED

[sturdy owl]

I KNOW I'M SO HYPE

I love how multiple people have pinged me about this, like we GOTTA tell Rock Eater his boy got buffed-

[carmine dagger]

😂😂😂, you're the Kiri guy after all, I'm trying to be the PS Aizawa guy

[sturdy owl]

I AM! I remain so happy that I am The Kiri Guy, I will represent my boy as best I can
I'll remember you're the ps aizawa guy trust

[carmine dagger]

Thanks, i still got a long way to go

[carmine dagger]

Wish me luck

[sturdy owl]

good luck dude!!! I'm like four months into the assault kiri grind, it's honestly awesome representing a character

hey if anyone has had a chance to figure out how nejire's updated beta affects kiri I am DYING to know

with it having different knockback it might be more viable to beta up to her level and get some damage

[novel cipher]

I haven't even seen one yet

for the best probably 😭

the one time I killed one was because I managed to

"BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG WIPEOUT!"

-# (never referring to it as beta)
her into storm

[sturdy owl]

GOOD, STAY GONE!

honestly I'm glad she got a nerf

[novel cipher]

she was the character I had the most trouble with so I couldn't be happier that her most problematic aspects got nerfed

all the nerfs will separate the people who used to play characters because they were very strong from those who actually had skill with them

is how I see it, at least

[sturdy owl]

genuinely I was getting so tired of her being so INSANELY overtuned
at least other problematic characters I can stand my grand against, but nejire has always been untouchable

[sturdy owl]

100% it's like how in recent months I've started respecting hawks mains because he became a more genuinely skilled character

hopefully nejire will be about careful reload management and tactile choices, instead of beta go brrr

after this hawks mains DEF have my respect, wow, their boy got hit by a car and taxidermied

[novel cipher]

Icl I feel like his nerf now was not at all needed

it was honestly a fun challenge fighting him

[sturdy owl]

honestly it def feels like overkill considering how much they'd already nerfed him

I could understand if they wanted to like, idk tune down his damage a bit more, but they just DESTROYED HIM

[novel cipher]

I could beat him with tech dabi, who was nearly unanimously agreed upon to be the worst character in the game from what I've seen

I can only imagine now

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY like, I was already hunting birds with assault kiri and being crazy proud when I managed to take one down

it's crazy that he got gutted so much that I feel bad for hawks players

[novel cipher]

I wonder how consequential the red deku nerfs will end up being

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY he's got 50 less health now... alpha damage got nerfed... he better be scared

[round bane]

I ain’t I just put the PFP on because someone I know predicted skill sets would get nerfed lol

[sturdy owl]

gotta admit this is a hilarious thing to say in the kirishima thread
like if a maniac like ME exists then I bet there are ibara mains out there

[worthy walrus]

I mained Ibara for a bit but I kept getting blasted to death before I could beat anyone up with her hair

[novel cipher]

Rapid Toga becoming too predictable smh

[sturdy owl]

ik it isn't the point of the clip but kiri being on the same team as super intense characters will never get old
kiri: I need... recovery items...
overhaul: that's one disgusting piece of filth down
kiri, healed up: just getting started!

REAL THO why are togas so often so easy to predict, like you should counter me pretty well but here we are

[novel cipher]

On those kinds of teams I like to just protect my allies and that ends with me getting some kills usually

I hate it when I drop at parking lot or downtown and my teammates start a fight while I'm opening boxes and saving civs still tho 😭

[sturdy owl]

me when my team drops near a pre-nerf nejire and I'd be like "ALRIGHT SEEYA GUYS LATER-" and disappear for half the match to farm items and wait to be reunited

[arctic flint]

[sturdy owl]

you LOVE to see a red drive tokyo drifting with his beta

that snipe tho was actually sick

[knotty grove]

ROCK

[robust orbit]

Beautiful

[brisk hamlet]

Does anyone feel... I dunno. Not too excited for the Kirishima buff to his alpha? Like... It's nice, but it doesn't really solve the inherent problems in his kit (inconsistency in his Alpha, and Beta tracking), does it?

[round bane]

It doesn’t solve his problem but this buff is still super awesome!

I love working around his alpha it’s my favorite move from him

[brisk hamlet]

Happy for you! I tested him in the training range and I still can't figure out how to work around his alpha- Sometimes they drop out on the 2nd hit😭

[sturdy owl]

dude I'm STILL LEARNING HOW TO WRANGLE HIS ALPHA it's so inconsistent
personally the best tactic I've learned is genuinely to jitter left and right while using it to try and avoid dropping the juggle by slowing down kiri
it sounds SO STUPID but it's literally the best I've managed to do. changing my aim doesn't help - but strafing does

it's still possible to drop them but it's def better on average

[sturdy owl]

and tbh the main reason I'm excited is that the devs are thinking about assault kiri!
obviously an extra alpha charge doesn't even come CLOSE to fixing his kit, but it's a nice mobility boost earlier in the game, with more damage output possible if you're in a spot that you can make the alpha work, and just a nice tool to have
but honestly I'm just glad they gave him ANYTHING! they care about improving assault kiri! they know he's screwed!

[knotty grove]

One of these kills was a Strike Deku caught in item management. Punch, guard crack, air gamma, wait and air beta, dead. I still got it

[sturdy owl]

AWESOME!! god, one of my fav battles to look back on was free for all as assault kiri where I got in a fight with a red deku outdoors and I barely managed to run away before he killed me
but when we final 2'd, he stepped inside UA to challenge me in MY DOMAIN! and I managed to destroy him and bring home champion, it was awesome

[knotty grove]

Now that's manly Kiri brother!

[tired wraith]

@sturdy owl ngl even with this third charge I'm still not leveling alpha first 😭

I rely too much on beta range

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY the only thing this alpha buff is doing is making me go B4>G4>A4>B9>G9 instead of COMPLETELY ignoring alpha

cause the third charge should be useful for mobility when you need it in a tight spot

[tired wraith]

I been playing shiggy more tho

That second SA charge is kind of fun

To maneuver with

[sturdy owl]

oh I BET that's def a buff I was curious about

[sturdy owl]

does anyone else playing assault kiri constantly run into togas who have a weird amount of hubris when they steal your blood?

I have NEVER seen a toga use my blood for skill resets alone. she always tries to fight using assault kiri, which is hilarious when she thinks turning this into a mirror match will help HER win the matchup???

funniest tho is when she chooses to play assault kiri while I'm teamed with my friends, who have 1v1'd me so much they they are VERY good at fighting assault kiris. like she wouldn't know that but it remains hilarious

I've just gotta wonder why. also how does it feel to steal assault kiri's blood and then get wrecked in the mirror match YOU signed up for?

I love playing assault kiri

[tired wraith]

A rapid toga stole my blood, tried using gamma on my wakeup. Whiffed. And then I counter gamma'd for the down.

I wish I clipped it but it was basically final circle with lime 3 teams left.

[sturdy owl]

literally me when I was final 2 with a rapid toga and for some reason she decided to steal my blood and make it a mirror match

a manly decision, sure, but I WRECKED HER!

[tired wraith]

minor miscalculation, I win. ahh

[sturdy owl]

I can't believe my assault kiri gameplay is so threatening that when I am teamed with RAPID TOGA and TWICE, that other teams would rather full focus me and KO me as soon as possible

but for good reason, because in that game that I got 2v1'd while my teammates were distracted, they revived me and I singlehandedly won us the game after a single tech denki KO'd my two teammates and even downed me

6 KOs... 4 assists... 16 total team KOs... this was such a cool match

the duo I was with IMMEDIATELY sent me a team invite afterwards like "please god let this guy keep playing with us"

[severe cloud]

local kiri celebrity

[sturdy owl]

LMAO

speaking of kiri information: I've discovered that tech denki can break hardening, if he uses two betas and then a gamma
but it only deals this much damage so you don't really need to be scared of it

[polar karma]

Bro, you have no idea, I usually run to a corner and heal up quickly with Aizawa's special tuning then come back with the vengeance

😂😂😂

The Gamma rock lowkey too good sometimes lol

[round bane]

Ye you can get in 2 gammas consistently if you work on environments or get a punish almost guaranteed lol if they immediately roll

I LOVE the team comp of this... bakugo, kiri, and denki just standing around laughing abt the big bad villain rendered helpless by being stuck in a wall

all dressed so casually too, like kiri hasn't been keeping up with his hair dye over summer break and they just randomly stumbled upon this while hanging out

[sacred tiger]

Yo chat
What's the tankiest kirishima build

[sturdy owl]

I haven't actually tried making one yet, but later when I'm on pc if nobody has answered I'll try looking for a good costume

[sturdy owl]

okay these are the two kiri skins that have 4 assault slots + 1 tech slot to max out all non-melee defense boosts
(hypothetically you could maximize melee defense too, but neither of these let you stack more than one anyways)

they're on kung fu villain and old uniform villain respectively - old uniform allows for sisterly/high speed replenishmnet which is EXTRA tanky ofc, but kung fu still reaches similar defensive stats

update: festival happi combat actually allows for some level 4 assault slots that is also comparable

[sacred tiger]

W picks
But I can't be all tanks without sisterly as main slot

[sacred tiger]

What build is the second one

Skin*

[sturdy owl]

old uniform villain. technically sisterly only gets to level 10 but I'm looking at costuems with it in second slot

[sacred tiger]

The second one looks very nice

[sturdy owl]

I double checked and none of the PURs with sisterly in the second slot look like they'd get defensive boosts very high

[sacred tiger]

Ion even hv old uniform smh
Help me check with unbreakable casual nd kung-fu

[sturdy owl]

unbreakable combat has the inverse speedy gp drink/sisterly specials

or hp sucker ig, but I figure speedy gp is more useful on a tanky kiri

[sacred tiger]

Do u hv a pic of it let me see em

[sacred tiger]

Yeah it's definitely better

[sturdy owl]

building it now one sec

[sacred tiger]

W mans

[sturdy owl]

unbreakable combat coming right up

you could also swap kurogiri for overhaul for gamma damage over the melee defense

data on the tradeoff that makes

[sacred tiger]

I found the build chat
Unfortunately they'll remove related costume build next season
Thx kiri

[sturdy owl]

pretty sure what they have planned is that you can wear one visible costume and a different tuning costume, so you'll still need to own the skin to use its tuning
tho if they just let you set whatever slots you want I'll be in heaven

[sacred tiger]

Imagine sisterly and revenge assault on kirishima

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY rn I have a build that's crushing PU charge/revenge assault and you love to see that defense boost proc
in general I've been using melee more often to see how viable sisterly would be on kiri

[sacred tiger]

Isn't sisterly stronger than revenge assault

[sturdy owl]

oh yeah sisterly is 50% while revent assault is only 20%, which tbh is INSANE
and the 50% stacks with hardening so it can get really crazy

[sacred tiger]

Wait so if it stacks all together
How many dmg are u neglecting in total😂 😭

[sturdy owl]

I'm not sure how exactly it stacks, like HYPOTHETICALLY sisterly+hardening could already bring you up to 90% defense
but more likely to avoid being able to hit 100% it'd be more like
90 damage reduced by 50% is 45, reduced by 40% is 27, reduced by 20% is 22
which is still INSANE for a total of 75% damage reduction

I don't actually have kendo unlocked so I don't have a sisterly build to test with, but I've gotten confirmation from other people that sisterly and hardening DO stack, so I assume revenge assault stacks too

[sacred tiger]

Imma try it when I get home
But it will be so sick
Storms gonna dmg bro more than lvl9 attacks
