Itsuka Kendo

[smoky cave]

1

arguably 2

[vernal fossil]

Strike kendo

[smoky cave]

it just means she forfeits iframes

[vernal fossil]

She still takes basically no damage

(They won btw)

I’m not good at combos

[smoky cave]

didnt think u would

i feel like im too harsh on u

sometimes

am i overthinking it?

[smoky cave]

im sorry

[trim marsh]

oh bug, well that's different from just getting the blood...

[smoky cave]

hit her with a tamaki beam and shes gone

[trim marsh]

I suppose kendo alpha doesn't stun her when she's in bug right?

[smoky cave]

it will stunhti her

stunhit

[trim marsh]

else it would be funny hitting like 15 alphas on her in a row

[smoky cave]

the gamma also will keep hitting her

i tested them out

[trim marsh]

really, then that would be an option ig

[trim marsh]

yup that one makes sense for sure

honestly maybe even better

[smoky cave]

i tested out

all attacks

that are continous and have down power

i have a few

i think

already posted

[trim marsh]

dang

does she ever get knocked down or does she just not take knockback in that stage?

kendo and toga ig

[smoky cave]

#1233265650537857045 message

note that she cannot move while this happens

thet tama beam

[random edge]

-_-

[trim marsh]

so she does take knockback gotcha thanks

[smoky cave]

np

[trim marsh]

I could probably figure out if it's a multiplier but I'm too tired for that rn

[summer wolf]

@jade mist is it possible to utilize the melee cancel tech with yellow kendo?

[jade mist]

It is not unfortunately

It's Strike Kendo Exclusive

[summer wolf]

nah i mean the one that involves the dash

like how tamaki or compress can do it

after learning how to do it on them i tried applying it to kendo but couldn't

[jade mist]

@summer wolf we can talk about this 😭

Let's not go to crazy

[summer wolf]

I BACKED OUT

too many bot teams

[jade mist]

Phew

Yeah same

[high smelt]

Hey, what your favorite build for assault Itsuka?

I tried Acceleration and I like it but mobility it's sucks, Wall Runner seems must have

[deft hedge]

Can someone give me strike kendo tips after her nerf?

[vale lark]

play her the same way she was always played just can’t do her beta cancel no more u can still beta cancel into gamma

[rigid pagoda]

is kendo shield bug? many times ill get hit and block, or just not block when i press it. maybe cuz slow activation?

[normal blaze]

@summer wolf Please be nice to me

[summer wolf]

it worked out

[normal blaze]

GGs

I think your Deku's name was a Kingdom Hearts reference and if so based

[left pulsar]

Whoever this Kendo is they're my new goat. They gave me let me live while I was downed and gave me a rez card so I won the match thanks to them

From the bottom of my heart thank you

[summer wolf]

its just the startup of her shield

shield becomes active on frame 24 while kiri’s is active 10 frame sooner than that

so its hard to reactively block with kendo in comparison to red kiri

[rigid pagoda]

T.T thats so slow lol. appreciate it.
does it stop deku slam? only tried once and it failed, swore i had it out for a while. maybe i gota aim towards ground more?

[summer wolf]

i haven’t properly tested it but i’m pretty sure you have to treat it like shiggy beta

look downward and towards the center of it

although i think it just hits through if you’re too close

sometimes i’ll just clap upward to get out of the way and punish when he drops

[rigid pagoda]

ik its prolly mentioned somewhere here, so i can scroll if u wish-
what makes your claps hit more consistently when they are in air? or rather what makes ur claps miss? Sometimes i feel it goes at odd angle and idk if its 100% auto tracking or if i look up while they are lower, itll re-adjust. somethign like that.
also alphas, is it mainly the range? feel like too often im hitting for only like 30 or not at all. idk if the visuals matchup or not cuz stg i wiff when i think i shouldnt too often (my aim is bad as well)

tis there a kendo video guide per chance?

liking her basic fixer build. got 150 on alpha lvl 1 in a game and feels good to just to relax and play her casually

[summer wolf]

when it comes to landing claps i think it just has worse tracking in the air (?)

a lot of times when i go for a clap on a grounded enemy i tend to jump and then clap but i think it tends to track worse if i do that

compared to just doing a grounded one

sometimes clap will just not track at all though presumably from them being too far away when you pressed gamma

alpha is something i just gradually got better at aiming

but at the far/max range it is literally just RNG

it is impossible to consistently hit far shots on her due to the rng of her rock spread

like 70% rng

sumn like that

but midrange/close range i suggest jumping with your shots

if you’re pushing someone i prefer to run jump and rise with my alphas

alpha gliding is nice but don’t focus on doing damage with the glide as well if you can’t aim it

those are a lot harder to aim

so its okay to just jump and shoot not only to stabilize your shot but also to mix up your timing

[summer wolf]

metsu remastered his a few months back

but i don’t think it has anything particularly new

[rigid pagoda]

ty ty sensie. Yea alpha gliding only really works when u go sideways right? or does foward aim still give a lil momentum

[sour slate]

Hey hey chat

[normal blaze]

Howdy

[summer wolf]

any direction

a long time ago metsu said you go faster if you alpha glide diagonally towards wherever you wanna go but i haven't gotten around to testing that

[cunning raft]

I thought it only works when done diagonally, like didn't notice any boost if straight 🤔

[summer wolf]

there's always a boost

ill test out the different variants tomorrow after maintenance

[lyric rampart]

Finally, I am happy.

NO FAIR!

I GOT NEJIRE INSTEAD

https://tenor.com/view/gon-crying-angry-punch-punch-ground-gif-13729174246823696329

[lyric rampart]

The worst part is that it was the green ticket and no one had even spoken to me, it just appeared like that for no reason.

[left pulsar]

You can get one anniversary ticket from the license

The other you gotta cough up $74.99 and I'd rather just play another game at that point

I got strike deku from the anniversary roll

I got Hawks and recently Nejire from the hot picks

As much as I'd love to roll for strike kendo I'm not since I need to save up tickets for whatever is coming next season

I'm just hoping I get her from hot picks

[lyric rampart]

Kendo mains occupied his vision, what tuning do I do for kendo strike

Villain style or combat

[summer wolf]

what outfit?

[lyric rampart]

Yukata

[high smelt]

ive been getting nothing from hot picks

i got rapidgo

[tidal nest]

embrittle card dupe for villain
Revenge Support Space Hop for combat

[lyric rampart]

I know, but the thing is I don't know which one to get.

[summer wolf]

villain

[tidal nest]

yeah villain for sure

i use the base yukata outfit

crushing pu hp sucker

[left pulsar]

My condolences 😞

[lyric rampart]

The new kendo tunings look good.

[summer wolf]

eagerly waiting

[light kite]

assault kendo tips?

im running trance blow and revenge tech bc i dont have casual wear

[coarse cloud]

Strike Kendo pity incoming 😈🙏

[coarse cloud]

Absolutely spectacular rolling session 😂✌️

[summer wolf]

tip #1 please do not run trance blow

i’m assuming you’re running the birthday outfit in which case just run something like willpower/fixer

those are consistent and don’t scuff your combos

if you’re playing yellow just to be a clap merchant that’s a little different but that isn’t my style

[summer wolf]

what’s the haul

[coarse cloud]

Tbh everything that I wanted up until now. Full cowling, Costume e, Assault Ochaco, had like a billion duplicates though 😭

But it was worth for

Also a couple emotes I didn’t have

[summer wolf]

W speed

try to save up some tickets for the adventurer outfit if you can

it’ll have 2 really good tuning builds for both kenders

[coarse cloud]

Yeah sucks I couldn’t pull any Pur’s now I gotta wait before I can get some good tuning on her

[light kite]

i should say i have her new ish flower costume which name isnt coming to me

i would prefer wall runner with it but trance blow hasnt been to bad tbh

good for keeping annoying rapids off me

[frigid rivet]

any new thing that new deku tuning enables for red kendo?

[summer wolf]

eh

not really

just makes her combos less of a commitment in a team fight since she can execute them faster

i haven’t tested to see if it makes the melee whiff combo true on GP but i don’t think it does

[high smelt]

I used it a little, and what I can say is:
It helps in some combos that need extra speed so the opponent doesn’t get a wake-up, but there are few of them, like the one in the clip where this guy landed the beta after the alpha at the end
In other situations, I found it harder to use it, it’s difficult to control the gamma to avoid causing 2 hits during the spin, since the down power hits the limit and ruins the combo. You have to be more careful to land 1 hit from the spin and then the final smack. Also, the melee cancel requires slower clicks on the melee button; with high speed, you might not always be able to cancel

[deft hedge]

Did embrittlement get nerfed or something?

[summer wolf]

a few patches ago yes

[frigid rivet]

Bro is that furina 🤣

[deft hedge]

I’m using hp sucker and embrittlement and it really does nothing for me

hp sucker got nerfed aswell?

[summer wolf]

hp sucker has remained untouched

[high smelt]

Someone knows Itsuka melee DP values?

[tidal nest]

we love hp sucker on kendo

[trim marsh]

and air melee is 150 for both now, the website is a tad outdated

[lyric rampart]

Hello kendo mains, a friend got into my account and did that tuning to it, does anyone know if it's okay? 💔

[left pulsar]

It'll help you fight in storm

[summer wolf]

is this for red or yellow?

[lyric rampart]

Red

[summer wolf]

i would assume red because of shinso being down there

i’m not really a big fan of the special tuning choice unless you’re blocking with your face a LOT

[lyric rampart]

So?

[vale lark]

hey @summer wolf quick question when it comes to red kendo air play like gamma launch into air melee alpha beta for some reason for me i having trouble getting the alpha to come out in time it’s weird i need help

[summer wolf]

gamma launch as in gamma 2?

the combo you’re noting doesn’t look like it would work

[deft hedge]

How do I cancel my beta into my gamma 😭😭

It’s not working

[summer wolf]

you can’t do it from a tap beta

you have to hold the beta for at least a few frames before you can cancel it

[deft hedge]

Thanks

[vale lark]

ohh i think i didn’t explain it right but i think i got it now

[coarse cloud]

Strike Kendo is an absolute goddess. This quirk set is so fcking awesome

That chain melee is so fun

[loud stream]

I still miss Kendo airlines

[loud stream]

For some reason only strike Kendo can do 6 melee hits and not assault.

(I did the jump cancel on the 2nd hit)

[loud stream]

Idiot. Learn how strike Kendo works.

[bold fulcrum]

This situation is why I like playing the Strike Kendo ditto

i always roll to make my opponent release Beta

and they all fell for it every single time

Do not try this against a Tech Mirio btw

somehow he's able to counter the hit

[lyric rampart]

According to me, the kendo strike can perform 7 melee hits, or 6 and a beta.

[loud stream]

For some reason I can't do that. They always fall after the 2nd shoulder ram.

I can only do up to 6

[lyric rampart]

If you go from nothing in the second to the fourth melee, do it slower, that's my case when playing on play, try pressing the melee not so fast to perform the 7.

[trim marsh]

technically 8 is possible vs hp with melee skipping

123 23 234

[loud stream]

Show vid proof

I refuse to believe it

[trim marsh]

this but you get 8 if you replace the beta with melee (never actually do the 8th melee just do beta or alpha instead but it's theoretically possible #1233265109745405952 message

[left pulsar]

Another day, another moment I wish I had strike kendo

Too bad I don't have enough tickets to even roll for her

[summer wolf]

the big streak of violence

[normal blaze]

I heard the block sound how did the first Ochaco alpha hit

[summer wolf]

homerun has very high priority for some reason

so even when you think you blocked it she will just refuse

ketchup stuff

[normal blaze]

Strike Kendo is so evil holy

Me not having time to learn her combos 😔

[coarse cloud]

Learn them truzzz

[normal blaze]

I wannnnaaaaaa

[lyric rampart]

I love playing with red kendo

[left pulsar]

I wish I had red kendo

[zealous python]

Why do modded kendo skins have more effort put into them then the actual skins 💔

[sour slate]

PC players are so privileged

Being a switch player is so rough...

[sour slate]

Same...

[summer wolf]

yesterday i learned that if assault kendo has at least 1 forward jump ht+ tuning on, she gains access to AG > air melee on flat planes

without needing acceleration/speed cards

[trim marsh]

those tunings work now? 👀

also is AG air gamma? or alpha gamma or smth?

[summer wolf]

alpha glide

[trim marsh]

ooooooh yeah that makes more sense lol

[summer wolf]

normally she touches the ground too fast to get air melee normally

[trim marsh]

interesting, that'll finally be a foolproof way for me to test how much those tunes do then

thanks a bunch

I also only recently figured out it's possible to do jump beta air melee, for a tiny bit more height than just jump air melee

made me feel silly for never noticing (tbf I barely play her)

[alpine mountain]

wassup kendo nation i havent played kendo for months and wanna come back to try strike, anyone can help me on a tuning build?

[deft hedge]

Should I replace embrittlement with acceleration?

[summer wolf]

show me what you own

[alpine mountain]

I got both pur costumes

Can’t really get on rn to take a screenshot

[summer wolf]

pretty mild clip but i found it satisfying

[summer wolf]

booting up rq to get the screenshots

first build which is my main build, C.PU/card dupe is addicting

could swap afo for gamma/beta reload for red kendo but more HP is also welcome

with this build you'll have 362hp with some resistance on hp

this build is hard focused on damage with hp sucker being a safety net assuming you can do your part

pretty solid reloads all around as well due to the slots

another solid one, embrittlement card dupe (festival yukata villain style)

this is the final one i'd maybe recommend, survivability build which you can either keep crushing PU or exchange for willpower

[alpine mountain]

Thank you :))

[daring marten]

I just want to hit the first and last hits of the gamma but it keeps spinning, even though I'm just pressing it quickly

help me

[wary orbit]

How much does a KO chg your PU meter maxed

[daring marten]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxTx7MhoPuqYrvQI_lpZ-KYU4NPGGA4anR?si=wqPaWa-n_DYjw02L

i want do this

[summer wolf]

20%

so you’ll usually have PU after every 3-4 kills

[trim marsh]

is your ping okay? on other characters stuff like this usually happens if you have a bad connection or play on a region that isn't your own

[summer wolf]

lmk which one you go with

[wary orbit]

Holy

[summer wolf]

the build i posted just massively rewards you for playing aggressive/getting kills

You only press gamma once, wait till the second hit connects then press melee. Right now you are dealing with delay, wait till it ends then attempt it again

[jade mist]

Fine by me

[wary orbit]

Since when could assault kendos gamma break through the beta shield

[left pulsar]

It can?

[summer wolf]

it cannot

it staggers like any other physical attack

[summer wolf]

either a) you activated shield too late and got hit beforehand or b) either you or the other kendo were lagging

[left pulsar]

Ah

[wary orbit]

Broke straight through 💀

[summer wolf]

she hit you from the side

even though it doesn’t look like it

she was also really close to you

but mainly it was because the hitbox was going past the shield

[left pulsar]

💀 💀 💀

[trim marsh]

yeah looks wrong on their screen but must have registered as behind the shield somehow

[left pulsar]

Yup

[summer wolf]

its a ping thing

like i said

but yeah

although as a word of advice @wary orbit i advise never putting yourself in this situation

as its literally just rock paper scissors on what happens next

if you're low and retreating with shield, just make distance at that point

[jade mist]

@summer wolf

Oui

[jade mist]

Release the shield trust

oh wait i didn't think about the setting lol

should we be fighting on bridge

[jade mist]

We're on US island

Honestly idk for this map

Destruction or Shopping mall

[summer wolf]

hmmm

we could do beach as well

we can try here

you know the drill but basically when i ping and you confirm it we start scrapping

[summer wolf]

imma swap to yellow

it would be really easy to stalemate by just holding beta with rendo in these rounds but that isn't really that fun lol

[jade mist]

That was not a normal combo

[summer wolf]

what

[jade mist]

Air melee comparison

[summer wolf]

it was alpha > air melee > M1 > beta, no?

i have wallrunner off rn but i'll make this work for now

[jade mist]

If you need a swap off I'm down

So you have your full build

[summer wolf]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sure

[jade mist]

While u do that I need to review something

[summer wolf]

go ahead

what was it anyway

[jade mist]

I did a combo that shouldn't have been possible

I think I perfectly timed an alpha when you held up shield

It staggered and I comboed more than I should've been able too

[summer wolf]

the 502

[jade mist]

Also for funsies purposes grab max blue cards

[summer wolf]

did you clip it

[jade mist]

Alpha, melee, alpha, melee

It'd normally knock after 2 alphas but low knockdown screwed up ig

I need to know what it looks like

[summer wolf]

can you always do M12 after G1 > 2?

[jade mist]

Yep

Another tech I made

[summer wolf]

i always just did the first hit

word

what's the tech

[jade mist]

Melee skip

[summer wolf]

i'd have to see it from your pov at some point i'm not sure what i'm looking at

is it like OFA?

[jade mist]

I'm live streaming

No

[summer wolf]

just pressing fast enough to skip the first melee?

[jade mist]

Wait yea

Only works off of gamma tho

[summer wolf]

ahhh

i see

real quick can you swap off and then back onto red kendo

you have this flashing light effect that looks kinda crazy

the parasite has been separated

I may not see any footage but I could tell a great battle took place gg you two

[summer wolf]

red kendo vs yellow is a very one-sided fight

in this format

[left pulsar]

I thought it was yellow vs yellow

[wary orbit]

The bloodlust took over ngl, was expecting her to stagger from the deflect not me getting clapped up ☹️

[wary orbit]

😭

Lessons learned tho

[summer wolf]

red vs red, then yellow vs red, a drizzle of yellow vs yellow and then back to yellow vs red

[left pulsar]

Ah ok

Ye

[high smelt]

HI KENDO PLAYERSS

im broke and i only have the:
u.a summer uniform
these mask off styles

and also the base styles ofc

which oen can i use for tuning for strike

😭

no PURs

[summer wolf]

mask off default is solid

fixer/embrittlement

[high smelt]

thx bud

[loud stream]

Not a true combo but it works

[smoky cave]

@summer wolf how much work do u put ur fingers through all this movement with yellow kendo cuz sheesh

[smoky cave]

That is a true combo btw

[summer wolf]

its a lot with the addition of alpha gliding

[loud stream]

But the health regenerated

[smoky cave]

so? they are staggered in the air they cant dodge

you simply will have to jump beta faster

but even then it will still hit

[loud stream]

Yeah I thought of that...

I might have to jump into beta in case....||||

[loud stream]

Am I the only one here who prefers yellow Kendo over red?

Ever since Kendo airlines landed, I stopped playing her and went to assault.

[spark atlas]

both are fun

i dont know who i prefer, but i have a good time playing either one of them

[summer wolf]

got something for the few assault kenders still out there

NEW TECH: Passive Extended Alpha Glides!

While still doable with just two Forward Jump HT.+ tunings, with 3 of them equipped you gain consistent access to extended alpha glides on even terrain, without the need for Acceleration/Speed cards!

**Characters/T.U.N.I.N.Gs required: Shinso , Ochaco (Rapid) , Himiko Toga (Rapid) **

PROS:

Passive EAGs, meaning you can approach with your tracking air melee into more consistent combos and setups at close range. Also makes traversal less expensive since you don't have to throw alphas as frequently, covering more distance in a shorter time!

CONS:

In this case, tuning on Kendo's Casual Wear (Default), she has to sacrifice 1 red, and two blue slots just to enable this option in-game. The worst one being that you have to put Shinso on, seeing as you'd only be using half of the buffs he gives (Beta ATK+). Still, though, the damage lost isn't terrible and something that I might be willing to put up with considering the pros.

TL,DR: You sacrifice damage potential for utility, enabling potential to do more with approaches and combos (particuarly Alpha starters).

bold to call it "tech" really but it's something i don't think anyone else has talked about

i spoke on this last week but never really showcased it

[spark atlas]

thats sick

love the chun li outfit too

that reminds me, i havent gotten a chance to try acceleration on her yet. worth running? @summer wolf

im willing to part ways with embrittlement, ive gotten bored of it.

[summer wolf]

had time for 1 game to showcase it

[summer wolf]

yes but i would wait until her new outfit to tune for it

only because she’ll actually have a right slot blue hero for the first time

so accel on that outfit will only be 20s cooldown as opposed to 40

plus you can pair it with any red tuning

so rev. strike, crushing PU or whatever else you wanna do there can also be placed

although i think i’m gonna build wallrunner embrit tbh

because i think i can apply the triple forward jump ht+ to that outfit as well

[summer wolf]

but yeah notice how i can actually follow the roll here cleanly

normally if they roll here you’d have to hope you can catch them with M1 in time but usually you can’t

and with wall runner she can move around a teeny bit better with the wall hops

its just nice

i think i’ll keep it

[spark atlas]

shes such a cool character

both in show and game

unfortunate how many people just reduce her gameplay to gamma spam

[spark atlas]

80 tickets and a dream

[summer wolf]

i mean

it works

clap merchants are very much noob stompers

mostly thanks to the cooldown and amount she has at lvl 9

i would take a faster shield startup in exchange for having only 2 claps and a longer penalty cooldown

rebalance her just a smidge in that way and maybe the few yendos we have will rebind alpha

[spark atlas]

that would be perfect

because yeah, it feels like a majority of them dont even know what alpha does 😭

wont even finish downed targets with alpha 💔

[summer wolf]

WHAM!

[spark atlas]

dude i just tried her with acceleration oh my GOD this is fun

i think i might go back to kendo for this season

i feel untouchable

[left pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/anya-forger-dodgeball-gif-25933175

I shall apply these notes and get better with assault kendo until I unlock her strike qss

Thank you Rotty my GOAT

[timid current]

Ooh thats tuff i didnt realize those tuning made a difference like that

[summer wolf]

dash speed+ still does nothing unfortunately

and run speed+

but vertical jump/forward jump actually can make a difference

a very small one but as you can see it can make a difference in small ways like this

[deft lava]

Dash speed is a W scam tuning

[smoky cave]

yeah sadly

[summer wolf]

i wish it worked

would be fun

[jade mist]

I don't have pro builds for him 💀

[lyric rampart]

Kendo with technical toga tuning and cementoss is so amazing

[left pulsar]

Donut attack someone while you're low 🗿

[summer wolf]

buddy got pelted

[left pulsar]

Indeed

[loud stream]

Kaminari players really are dumb

[left pulsar]

Majority are but not all

[swift adder]

Kendo seems to have a bit higher jump height than most other characters already with her default jump, does this hold true when spiraling leap is tuned? Or is it the same as other chars with spiraling leap (get set to the same amount), so she benefits less

[trim marsh]

I'd need to test (not at the pc rn) but shiggies spiraling leap feels very different than nejire's jump to me iirc

[swift adder]

Prob worth marking and testing against building windows

[past cove]

GUYS GUYS!!!

[normal blaze]

Oh neat she made it in

[left pulsar]

Anniversary gatcha is a scam. I spent $74.99 in hoping of getting strike kendo but got strike deku AGAIN instead

Waste of money

Genuinely pißsed rn

Strike Kendo is my first option in both anniversary and hot picks yet the gatcha just absolutely refuses to give me her

[somber nymph]

Rough. I'd recommend saving. It's how I got Strike Kendo.

[left pulsar]

I have 350 tickets now and I plan to use single roll on the banner

Should I just save up 2k tickets and pity her instead?

[somber nymph]

I'd just save tbh, when I have extra tickets I use 'em at the start of a new season hoping I get the new character and then use the rest for pity

[spark atlas]

rule of thumb for mhur, never roll unless you have 2k tickets

its just not worth

ive had multiple times now where ive needed to pity for a character i want, its not worth trying to lucky roll

[left pulsar]

Yea good point... Alright then I'll just save up 2k and pity whatever banner comes out that season

I could potentially roll strike kendo on one of my alts but I'd rather have her on my main

I'll attempt to get her on my main account regardless whether or not I get her on any of my alts

[normal blaze]

What are some good tunes for both Kendos? The ones in the image are what I'd consider generally good but if you think they're exceptionally good on either Kendo then let me know and I'll include it in the graphic I'm making for her anyway

For reference this is what the graphic will look similar to

It'll be one graphic for Assault and one for Strike by the way

[spark atlas]

embrittlement is really nice on both, acceleration is really good on assault kendo

[normal blaze]

I saw "Toga Thighjob" a few hours ago

[normal blaze]

Does Acceleration give her a combo game or is it just generally nice for her?

[spark atlas]

@normal blaze you can pull off these consistently with it equipped

assault kendo be moving with acceleration.

also your alphas just go turbo speed with it, so you melt squishy chatacters

[normal blaze]

I see I'll make sure to include that. Would this wording be good:

"Acceleration allows her to perform enhanced alpha glides that allow her to use air melee for better setups and more consistent combos. Also lets you melt people with alpha with the faster attack speed"

[spark atlas]

yeah pretty good

that tuning is a drug man, im never taking it off of her

[normal blaze]

I'm already making a Tsu build with Embrittlement and Acceleration because I wanna see how far she goes with it

[spark atlas]

the only downside is she currently doesnt have a right slot blue tuning, so she cant get the 20 second cooldown, only the 40 second one.

but she is getting a new skin shortly that will feature a right blue hero slot

[normal blaze]

Yeah the Adventurer Fancy right?

[spark atlas]

also will have a yellow left slot meaning we finally can run embrittlement and wallrunner

[spark atlas]

believ so

[normal blaze]

Oh never mind that's left side blue

It's Villain Style that's right side

[spark atlas]

i havent really kept up with it, i just know it has an option

i wont be rolling sadly. wasted my tickets on rapid deku for acceleration

i did get him so technically not a waste, but you know

[normal blaze]

I wanted to roll but I used tickets on Deku thinking that I wouldn't want Young For One and then I tried out his Quirks for one match with Monoma and loved it so I used tickets on him as well 😭

Oh yeah would Trance Blow be a good tuning for her?

Since she doesn't really have a combo game it seems like a nice way to make opponents have trouble losing her

[spark atlas]

noooooo

[spark atlas]

also she definitely has combo game

[normal blaze]

Does she? I've always been told she doesn't

[spark atlas]

but yeah after the down power changes trance blow isnt that good for beamer type characters

and assault kendos alpha has a lot of knockdown power

[spark atlas]

mid clip but you get the idea

they arent true combos, but they are combos

[normal blaze]

Okay good I'm not the biggest fan of Trance Blow so I'm glad it isn't good on her did NOT want to suggest it to people

[spark atlas]

its still not bad per say, but i dont think its worth running is all. before the nerf tho it definitely was op af

people were practically tod'ing with trance blow and kendo alpha 😭

[normal blaze]

This is what I have so far but I'm struggling to decide what else to put in both categories

[normal blaze]

I remember hearing about that

[spark atlas]

space hop?

[normal blaze]

Mobility but Wall Runner is probably better as a mobility option

[spark atlas]

i dont think it synergizes with her much is all

[normal blaze]

That's fair I was kinda iffy about including it myself as well

[spark atlas]

its great on beamers since you get free shots jumping up and down, but kendo wants to be close range

[spark atlas]

@summer wolf should be able to give you a better idea of whats all good. i only know the basics

[normal blaze]

I'll work on Monoma's then in the mean time

Still waiting on feedback for Strike Bakugo's so I just started Kendo's because why not

[spark atlas]

i would help more but ive used the same two tunings on her forever 😭

[normal blaze]

It's alright no worries! You said you'd be helping me with Assault Ochaco and that'll help a lot

[summer wolf]

trance blow is the most forbidden tuning on this character

[summer wolf]

space hop on assault kendo is meh

[normal blaze]

Good because I don't like telling people to use it

[normal blaze]

I'll get rid of it then since three people are saying it isn't the best

[summer wolf]

SH is situationally good at best but i wouldn’t really consider using it on assault

for red kendo it’s usable but not so much yellow

when i get home i can give you some actual recommendations

[normal blaze]

Alrighty sounds good

Thank you for taking the time at all to help with this I'm hoping these things I'm making stay relevant resources for people in the future since I plan to update these when new tuning comes out/older tunes get changed

[summer wolf]

HP sucker is solid (many of her outfits are condemed to purple villain right slots, so HP sucker tends to be the best out of the three options ((assault kendo does not need purple cards)))

crushing PU is good, although for a character like kendo, extra wind might be a safer option. both are good though cuz kendo does crazy damage in PU and could be a lifesaver/gamechanger

speaking of gamechangers, **willpower **is also solid (casual fancy, casual villain, yukata default, or adventurer villain) for a character like kendo due to her kinda sucking at getting out of situations if she's getting focused, willpower can give you that extra push you might need for a teamheal, peel from a teammate, or just a reassurance if you wanna take more risks

if you're a wall runner like me you almost always gonna have your blue slot for that, but in the case that wall runner isn't for you, card duplication is also solid assuming you can get your own kills. kendo isn't terribly level hungry but getting that boost to level 9 early on is pretty handy (you can also share cards with your teammates!)

recommended but specific: high speed replenishment (casual heat, yukata dangerous), muscle form, revenge support (holding shield while healing! naturally strong, also good for storm plays when in disadv), revenge assault (if you're reckless), ability manifest (very underrated tuning, but very strong if used correctly. usually when you reach a level 4 4 9 of some sort, you can start investing into your other cards, mainly greens but everything is good), revenge strike is ok but i don't really use it

as for what i DON'T recommend

Trance Blow, Trance Blow, Trance Blow
don't run it

revenge technical is not necessary on yellow kendo, she has very generous cooldowns on what's important

kota finder (you are not that fast and even if you do find kota, good luck fending off the horde if it comes down to that)

quasi perm (don't)

fixer is a very specific tuning and, for kendo, only really works decently on an SSR outfit (mask off), but that would be for a budget build. on her PURs there are no viable fixer outfits imo, otherwise i'd be running it

for the love of god do not run trance blow

on either kendo

[normal blaze]

Would these suggestions also apply to Strike Kendo? If they both want the same things then I can just make one for both

[summer wolf]

not really

or at least not 1:1

[normal blaze]

Alrighty I'll make another one for Strike then

[loud stream]

The stuff I have to deal with as assault Kendo

[left pulsar]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that recognizes and uses Space Hop on Kendo

It's fun to just jump up really high and throw pebbles at folks lol

If you can that is. Too many darn flying characters nowadays

[left pulsar]

No honor in that Tamaki. Everyone knows if you emote at each other it's call to truce

[spark atlas]

well

only took like a year of pulling

[lyric rampart]

I need that skin 💔

[spark zinc]

the art is so bad for kendo

💀

[normal blaze]

So would you call the "Recommended but specific tunes" situationally good?

[summer wolf]

yea sure

[normal blaze]

Alright sweet

Assault Kendo image will be up in a bit then for review

[normal blaze]

What's the reasoning behind High-Speed Replenishment being situationally good?

[summer wolf]

cuz there aren’t many outfits she can run it on efficiently

its literally just casual wear heat and some random yukata outfit

every other outfit is condemned to villain purple

[normal blaze]

Things to add/change?

I should probably change the text for Ability Manifest to be more like ", but you have to sacrifice leveling your Quirk Skills to make good use of it most likely "

[trim marsh]

kinda disagree on that reasoning, aren't you running ability manifest so your ability cards longer without having to spend levels on them?

tbf I never got to try it much so I could be wrong but I would imagine that to be the case

[normal blaze]

The way Rotty worded it made me think that once you reach 4 - 4 - 9 or something similar to it you invest into your other cards so they last 5 years

Which is why I thought of rewording it

[trim marsh]

oh fair but imo that's not a huge sacrifice, and going 4 - 9 - 9 isn't a horrible thing to do even with ability manifest on I'd think. I believe it's simply that pushing beta past level 4 is somewhat unnecessary and esp assuming you max alpha and leave gamma at 4, the claps already have really good reload speed, so you won't be losing too much by keeping them at 4 and could also choose to max them anyway. But perhaps you should get Rotty's opinion as well

[normal blaze]

Yeah I was gonna reword it and make it orange to show that it's not completely situational and is better than the other situational tunes

[trim marsh]

gotcha, I was mostly surprised by the have to sacrifice cause that made it sound to me like you'll be missing out on something important when imo you can just level as usual if you want and it would still be useful, esp for people that stop leveling at beta 4 either way.

but gotcha

I'm also not any authority on kendo stuff

or ability manifest lol

[normal blaze]

Yeah I should put "may have to" instead of "have to"

[trim marsh]

or even "may want to" tbh

I'd prolly say it somewhat like "you may want to stop leveling your quirk skills early to use it to its full potential"

[normal blaze]

Yeah that's better wording

[swift adder]

Ever end up testing it out?

[trim marsh]

not yet sorry if I remember I might be able to, though I'll likely only be able to compare a hand full of characters at best.

doesn't sound the most fun to test either but I might do it when I log on later

no guarantees

gotcha ^^

[swift adder]

I would test, but I do not have as much character data to throw on a dead outfit 😄

[trim marsh]

ah yeah fair

I have neji so the burden shall fall on me xD

(ngl maybe I'll find out something cool)

oh no 😭

yeah space hop is hella insane, spiraling surprises me that you'd want on many characters

[swift adder]

I feel like it helps a lot with confusing people in ace rank and getting enough height chasing to continue beaming

space hop is nice defensively

[trim marsh]

interesting

slower higher jump doesn't make you feel vulnerable does it?

when I tried on deku I hated it when I tried on bakugo I liked it (cause he has insta knockdown combos for when he gets beamed)

mean spiraling leap not space hop btw

gotcha

[swift adder]

ahh

yeah, i don't spiraling leap as much as I space hop, but I really like it for chasing

i don't run it on absolutely everything, but if I have the outfit for I will do both

that's why I was thinking spiraling leap and space hop for assault kendo too 😄

if I somehow get lucky enough

[trim marsh]

that's odd to me too cause doesn't it make you slower?

[swift adder]

just need the height to tag them

[trim marsh]

haha xD

[trim marsh]

interesting, so your saying it makes it easier to shoot people running away from you rather than it makes it easier to keep up with them I take it

[swift adder]

basically

if they get behind something or a slight elevation change

[trim marsh]

getcha, that's a reason I have space hop as ibara

you can run but you can't hide

[swift adder]

i am addicted to the mobility options lmao

[trim marsh]

hahaha

fair enough

you're talking to one of the biggest wallrun enjoyers here

so

🤝

[swift adder]

basically all I run, wall run/space hop/spiraling

[trim marsh]

seems fair xD

I hate wallrun + spiraling leap though, so that's another reason for me not to use spiraling leap

[normal blaze]

Reworded it

[swift adder]

i haven't tried that yet because I can't imagine not using space hop now

[trim marsh]

fair

[swift adder]

is there a reason why it's annoying?

messes up the wall tech?

[trim marsh]

you did say you mainly play beamers as well

[trim marsh]

yup

just makes it feel slow

it's still there but you're way slower and easier to hit during it

[swift adder]

ahh, that's fair, i was considering it on tech toga maybe

but, if that's the case, maybe not

[trim marsh]

maybe I'll record spiraling toga with a blue card too, we'll see

[trim marsh]

part 1

https://outplayed.tv/my-hero-ultra-rumble/edPJj5

part 2

https://outplayed.tv/my-hero-ultra-rumble/MlVOjg

[trim marsh]

and I tried toga and surprisingly it was perfectly fine

https://outplayed.tv/my-hero-ultra-rumble/8BYn67

really thought I tested it before and it was horrible

either physics changed or placebo majorly got to me

[trim marsh]

also note about some of these: I know ochako and kendo had a forward height tuning equipped (didn't wanna remove shinso from kendo as I don't have him), rest idk tbh

[unkempt grove]

i thought the first option in hot picks is guarantee to get within 10 pulls

[swift adder]

Ahh, so it seems like it equalizes everyones' jump to the same level

[swift adder]

Wtf it makes the gliding so much easier, I'm sold lol

Tyty

[left pulsar]

Apparently it's not. It gave me Strike Deku TWICE despite it being my 2nd option

[trim marsh]

yeah honestly didn't really expect that either. I still felt like there were minimal differences but those may have just been forward jump height tunings or lack thereof

[trim marsh]

uhm I don't think I showed anything being easier with it 👀

before the reset is without spiraling leap (it had run out), after is with (it reset spiraling leap)

but if you mean the fact it allows you to throw more knives per normal jump then yeah

[trim marsh]

uh I didn't order mine ngl don't think it ever mattered

[left pulsar]

I don't understand why they didn't just have us guarantee the specific one we wanted instead of lying to my face by having me "roll" for a random option they guaranteed without telling me

Byking are crooks and so are gatchas

[trim marsh]

oh yeah fair lol

dunno what exactly they said but yeah it's just a guaranteed one character, esp from the anniversary roll. idk if hot picks even has a guarantee outside of pitying with crystals

[native gate]

Qfr is really good on both

Pretty much always have a red gamma available and for yellow her sheild is pretty much unbreakable so u can be much more aggressive about your approach

[left pulsar]

If it's guaranteed for one character why have us pay for a ticket to roll for it twice?

Either way I have no intention of spending money on this game for a long while

[trim marsh]

two guaranteed characters (that could both be the same lol)

[left pulsar]

Unfortunately the latter happened to me

[trim marsh]

rip

[left pulsar]

I want my money back

[trim marsh]

ggs

[bright spruce]

Anyone know any good budget builds for red Kendo for my friend? He currently only has: mask off dangerous, mask off villain, hero costume dangerous, is there anything he can do with these?

[vale lark]

hey guys i need some advice how am i supposed to play assault kendo in this fvck a ss meta

my red kendo is good but every time i get on assault it feels like everybody just destroys me idk man

[native gate]

do you have any clips for chat to give pointers with

[vale lark]

unfortunately i don’t have clips rn but ima see either tmr or later tn if i can get clips on what im doing wrong

[native gate]

that would be nice, its easier for us lol

[cunning raft]

i thought this would be a good combo but accel uptime is so little almost non existent that its more profitable to learn alpha timing and run wr instead lol

accel uptime ^

[native gate]

Acceleration needs to be on the right side

You're effectively doubling the cooldown by having it on the left

40 second cooldown left side
20 second on right

Always 20 second duration

[errant copper]

👀 do you funny people have tips and tricks for assault kendo?

[fossil badger]

i want kendo to have the special action to throw even enemies. that would be so funny

[ember storm]

As someone who has played her for 5 mins! She like used alpha and beta

[errant copper]

Hello to you too Duch 😭

[left pulsar]

This game hates me

Now I'm really aggravated

I spent 400 tickets on my main, got adventure outfit.
Meanwhile I spent 200 tickets on my alt:

You can't make this up, byking must have something against my main account

[lyric rampart]

What is the best tuning for the adventurer kendo

[normal blaze]

What do you mean you can get Fancy version to do Acceleration Embrittlement/Wall Runner Embrittlement

Hopefully you get Strike Kendo on your main as well

[normal blaze]

These two are pretty good from my experience playing Kendo

First one can do Crushing PU Charge/Willpower and Acceleration/Wall Runner and second one can do Acceleration/Wall Runner and Embrittlement

[lyric rampart]

I loved both, but I don't know which one, and I only have for one tuning.

[normal blaze]

Do you like using Acceleration on Kendo?

[lyric rampart]

I have never used that tuning with Kendo.

[normal blaze]

I've never been able to try it but I've been told it's good on her

[left pulsar]

I didn't even think of that, thanks!

[left pulsar]

I hope so too

[spark atlas]

its great on assault kendo

bumps up her movement like crazy

[summer wolf]

another kendo banner which means i have to pity again

had to pity yukata, red kendo, and now this outfit lol

[normal blaze]

I would've pitied Adventurer but I didn't think I'd like Young For One as much as I do so my ticket calculations were thrown off

So I suppose next time there's a double character season I'll have to wait until the second one comes out and pity if I have to so I can maybe get both characters

[trim marsh]

honestly probably run fully default. willpower + embrittlement if possible
something roughly like this:

mine is set up with triple forward jump height to try some yellow kendo specific tech with but you wouldn't necessarily need that with red kendo

[bright spruce]

Alr thanks

[normal blaze]

That tech does look nice

I do be liking alpha glides

[trim marsh]

yup it do, ngl that's an old build that I just polished up before showing
I'm mainly used to running mask off default with fixer and I can't lie extended alpha glides are way easier with fixer (or I assume level 4 slots) than without

[normal blaze]

I'm too broke on keys to make budget builds but if I were to make one I'd use Mask Off as well

[trim marsh]

^ me whenever I hear you say you don't got 7 keys

but yeah mask off and hero default are prolly the best. honestly if not for extended alpha glides I might even run hero default

[ocean vessel]

Got strike Kendo, trying her out and her melee combos kinda fun

She also has a crit perm and gp pot costume so that’s what I’m running

What’s her most reliable combos that don’t start with a melee tho

[normal blaze]

I have 46 I'm just saving them for PURs

[normal blaze]

I know she has some that start with gamma but you have to cancel it after hitting the enemy once with it

I think you can just melee out of it

[trim marsh]

gamma hit 1 gamma hit 2 m1 into alpha/beta is a must learn imo, apparently there's a version of it that skips m1 in favor of m2 + m3 but I have no idea how to do it

then there's ones that start with gamma hit 2 which is where the highest damage is but you can't end gamma immediately so you need to have spun for a bit to access them

so I wouldn't call them reliable cause they are rather situational

[trim marsh]

fair

https://outplayed.tv/media/NZbKa2

also briny's vid is a very good resource esp for grounded combos, even though it was pre nerf
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWPSc00QqB8

[ocean vessel]

Yeah I watched that just wasn’t sure which is the main combo kendo’s spam

Anyway thanks

[trim marsh]

ah gotcha

to me the ones I used most have always been melee start ones and the ones in the clip I made
stuff like alpha m1 (m2 m3) alpha or stuff also works for quick damage I think
I really haven't played her much anymore after her release

asking rotty might be the play

[summer wolf]

what's up

[ember storm]

https://tenor.com/view/ononoki-yotsugi-yotsugi-ononoki-bakemonogatari-monogatari-gif-1848214805773973844

[trim marsh]

somehowcool was looking to know what the most common red kendo combos to be spamming are if I understood it right

[summer wolf]

i'll record a quick gauntlet

all the basic rendo bnbs

by order:

melee BNB 1 (ends with beta)
melee BNB 2 (ends with air melee when you don't want to spend resources)
gamma 1 > 2 conversion (end with beta for damage, air melee or alpha to save resources)
gamma 2 conversion (advanced, gives more damage)
gamma 2 conversion (easier route, same result)
alpha conversion (used to approach and close the gap, typically gets close/guarantees guard break)
alpha (once or twice into beta, used for long-distance confirms into big damage)

the only thing not really logged here are the 501 extensions or the whiff M1 routes

[summer wolf]

@ocean vessel

i haven't really been backreading the chat but if anyone else has questions feel free to direct them to me @trim marsh

[trim marsh]

oki awesome ^^

one question was about tuning but I think I answered that one mmyself

[summer wolf]

what about it?

[trim marsh]

they had like only 4 budget builds available #1233265109745405952 message

and I recommended just tuning default

[summer wolf]

ig it varies from yellow to red

but i think her birthday outfit is a pretty strong budget outfit

default is also fine

mask off villain and danger suck

yeah nah out of all the options that guy had default was def the best

[trim marsh]

oh from looking I can see why lol

but ain't no one gonna have that anymore

also I might have a question for you myself, do you know how to do the gamma 1 > 2 into double melee beta/alpha

[summer wolf]

i actually don't

according to briny it works the same as how OFA can cancel the first hit of his melee by just pressing fast enough

but i don't see how that's possible with rendo

@jade mist ?

[trim marsh]

oh 👀

Guys what combos does assault kendo have

[jade mist]

Pres melee twice at the same time your second hit of gamma connects

Pres it fast

[trim marsh]

gotcha, very interesting

oh dang it really is just that, ey?

https://outplayed.tv/my-hero-ultra-rumble/XlLa87

I just hate that I instinctively alpha after everything lol

should learn to use air melee as well xD

[left pulsar]

I got both yukata and adventure outfits when ALL I wanted was the qss

Now I gotta spend 2 seasons just to pity strike kendo ugh

On my main account

I barely touch my alts which is why I always get what I want in like two 10x rolls.

I know what byking is doing, I just can't prove it.

[trim marsh]

why did you type this just now?

WHYYYYYYYYYYYY

[left pulsar]

?

[ocean vessel]

For the tuning or the looks

[trim marsh]

tuning

my looks are immaculate

[ocean vessel]

Do you not have casual?

[trim marsh]

nope yukata only

[ocean vessel]

Rip

Casual has that goated crit perm with aizawa pot I said I was running

[trim marsh]

and even then I think the new tunings are even that extra bit better than casual even

[ocean vessel]

Surprised I don’t see Deku’s and ochacos using it

Especially cause the Ochaco one is on a free skin

from last season

[trim marsh]

oh I still don't run crit perm cause I think it's total bs lol

[ocean vessel]

But you play strike kendo tho

ur already halfway there

[trim marsh]

yeah I have that as a build to test it, disgusting 😭

[ocean vessel]

Ibara has it too but I think most prefer to run reinforced revive

Same with Froppy

[trim marsh]

uh I played her on release mathing out her combos from down power values lol

I'm prolly decently bad with her just kept up

mainly wanted the new skin for wallrunner tech on assault kendo

[ocean vessel]

If u played since her release labbing her that can’t be true

[ocean vessel]

Wouldn’t have thought she would need it tbh

With how high the gamma can take u and how fast it comes back

Oh wait assault kendo

My condolences

[trim marsh]

I want space hop wallrunner on casual 😭
and ibara will rely on getting the big heal from it or it's not worth that much, and the cooldown nerf actively matters to her as well

[trim marsh]

yeah haha xD

tbf yellow kendo movement goes crazy with wallrunner though

did a free trial beforehand: https://outplayed.tv/media/lx5JKY

[ocean vessel]

Is the alpha actually pushing u back?

[trim marsh]

yup ^^

[ocean vessel]

Didn’t know it did that

[trim marsh]

I think it's barely anything or nothing if you don't put up the shield first though

[ocean vessel]

also ty

haven’t seen any assault kendos in a long while

A while ago I did have one brainwash and embrittlement me and then alpha my face to death

But by a while I mean like 3 months ago

[trim marsh]

yeah I also had that as a budget build back then xD

funny times >.<

[ocean vessel]

Does assault kendo melee tracking have the same as strike

cause I noticed strike has rapidku tier melee tracking

but just without his gamma ofc

[trim marsh]

nope, I think it's like half of it, still noticeable though

it's probably between dabi and young afo if I had to say

[ocean vessel]

For what

[trim marsh]

melee tracking

[ocean vessel]

I never noticed Dabi having melee tracking

But it can’t be better than rapidku’s

[trim marsh]

idk how much of dabi's is actual tracking and how much is just it being a forward lunge but here's a rough comparison of some of the forward lunging melees:
https://outplayed.tv/my-hero-ultra-rumble/KZrJaG

rapid deku so funny how the ground melee tracking isn't even that crazy but the air melee tracking is even more bonkers insane in its stead

[ocean vessel]

Feel like you were pretty close with that Dabi melee

and yeah it’s nuts

[trim marsh]

yeah for sure, that's why I said in between, cause he was the longest range melee besides kendo I could think of

but not real tracking per se I guess

[normal blaze]

Full melee combo into alpha is the only one I know

[trim marsh]

oh yeah guess we forgot to answer, afaik full melee chain into something is the only true combo she has, but she has a bunch of semi combos where you spam moves wisely and just hit all of them without the enemy being able to hit you back ideally

might be another case of @summer wolf though

oh also you can start with air melee for some more true combos as well

[errant copper]

👀

[left pulsar]

Took me 190 tickets

I pitied Tamaki

[trim marsh]

oh nice at least pity wasn't fully wasted

[left pulsar]

True

[ocean vessel]

man the melee combos are pretty fun when you get to use em

would show my results but am using a modded pageant skin for her

[summer wolf]

do it anyway

kendo thread don't snitch

[ocean vessel]

okaay super secret clip

didnt get the first part perfect but allowed me to do a second melee anyway

[normal blaze]

Do the mods/devs even care about mods? People have posted videos with mods and their support IDs visible and I haven't seen them mention anything about getting banned or anything similar

But yeah her melee combos are fun I'm trying to get more used to doing them in matches

[spark atlas]

no one checks these channels

theyve gone unmodded forever

lmao

[normal blaze]

Even in #game-moments I see people post modded stuff though

[left pulsar]

Sneak 100%

[spark atlas]

this reminds me of a clip

let me see if i have it still

found it

her release day, was so fun having no idea how to play her

[left pulsar]

Lol

STUPID GATCHA ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO GIVE ME STRIKE KENDO SINCE RELEASE!

[tidal nest]

noob

[tidal nest]

that aint me

[left pulsar]

Lol

[left pulsar]

Literally my 1st 10 roll on PC. I'm telling you this gatcha is rigged to screw tickets spent on active accounts so they're less likely get the featured items.

Also got on PC

Believe me when I said I tried EVERYTHING to get strike kendo on my main PS account but I gave up. I think I just might switch to PC for a season or two -_-

Wasted so much money trying to get her on my main in PS to no avail smh

[summer wolf]

just save

[minor kindle]

Everything but save 2000 tickets

They gave out like 2k tickets this season bro 😭

[sour slate]

Why does that outfit look so cute on her

[ocean vessel]

nearly around 2.5k

[ebon knot]

Just wondering. Kendo mains, where do you think Kendo is at in the meta? Assault and Strike?

[summer wolf]

red kendo may or may not be back in the top 5 range following the nerfs of other top tiers around her

[errant copper]

Assault Kendo is SS+ tier idc what anyone says 🥱

Best character in the game lowk

[summer wolf]

assault on the other hand is probably around A tier, a little lower than usual due to how characters be moving now 👨‍🦯‍➡️

lower end of A tier maybe

[errant copper]

Oh 😔

[summer wolf]

she’s really strong when you’re in her face but like

there are so many characters that can just say no and leave

and then it’s either a stalemate or she gets jumped

[errant copper]

That’s true

I’ve been learning this on my journey

But I’m delusional yk?

[left pulsar]

Low-key hard to save 2k tickets to get every character I want but yea I heard ya I'm saving up on my PS account now

[neon fossil]

she's been top 5 since release

[left pulsar]

first strikendo game on pc

[summer wolf]

i think she’s wiggled between 5-8 throughout the patches

prior to this latest patch i had her at like #7

if she’s gone up it’s only because the others around her got nerfed like i said

[left pulsar]

This is what I'm currently using until I have enough data for embrittlement

[normal blaze]

Need that outfit…

[left pulsar]

I hope you'll get it eventually.

I'm having a blast with strike kendo she's the perfect qss for me

[normal blaze]

If I’m getting a PUR it better be Ibara Casual Wear but Kendo Adventurer would be acceptable as well

[left pulsar]

Facts I need Ibara's casual

[normal blaze]

Most people in the Ibara channel do 😭

The game gives EVERYONE but the actual Ibara players Casual Wear

[left pulsar]

Fr

I wish byking would stop giving me outfits for characters I barely touch

The gatcha also has a bad habit of giving me the character's PUR outfit before the character themselves

It gave me both YAFO's costumes before the battle style for example 🗿

[normal blaze]

I haven’t rolled for characters too many times since I only started late season 10 but the ones I have rolled on I’m usually getting outfits for the character before the character as well

[left pulsar]

I'm gonna stop rolling for a long while

[normal blaze]

I’m hoping the next character isn’t to my liking because I need to save I only have like 685 tickets

And if they are then RIP I’ll just pity them season 15 if the game wants to be nice and give me the season 15 character before 2k

[left pulsar]

Only reason why I even rolled this season was because;

1. Rapidku
2. Kunoichi Froppy
3. Strike Kendo (been trying to get her since release)

I can't roll for anyone else no matter what

I was trying to save up 2k tickets on my main PS account for Momo's qss but I gave up on that

But for now I'm taking a break from my PS and moving to PC

Spending all that money to not even get Strike Kendo still rubs me the wrong way

[normal blaze]

Super fair

[left pulsar]

I am still using my PS5 controller on PC so it's fair

Besides I don't like using mouse anyway

I can use a mouse fine I just don't like the way it feels

[normal blaze]

Also fair

I much prefer a mouse but I get people being more used to controllers

I could never aim good with a controller no matter what game I played personally

[left pulsar]

That's understandable

I aim better with a mouse

But I'd rather use keyboard only or controller

[summer wolf]

midnight unranked is something else

red this time

[ocean vessel]

nice using that costume too

[tidal nest]

She is around the 6-8 range

Top 5 rn is like: Strike Kiri, Tech Mirio, Rapideku, Monoma, Ocha

[ocean vessel]

is ochaco still top 5

she can still do massive dmg like she used to but only if she does gamma into 3 alphas into gamma

thats basically the same as kurogiri 3x beta into gamma beta

[summer wolf]

idt monoma is anywhere near top 5 especially after s14 hits

nor ochaco possibly

ochaco's still up there somewhere

[summer wolf]

tbh i think my wild card pick for top 5 is yellow endeavor

that character is ridiculous imo
