All For One

[brave brook]

since tech mirio is a big pain to kill

[shut socket]

So sick of the bugs with this guy

Lost a match because I couldn’t switch to my alt moveset. Literal only reason

[brave brook]

I don't know what y'all are doing to experience these bugs, I haven't seen em. Is it a bug with strike afo specifically?

[zealous igloo]

It just happens randomly

I think I only experienced once but I stole red Afo as tech Afo but when I switched movesets it was converted into tech Afo movesets

I was confused because i thought i pressed the switch button but no.

[brave brook]

WHAT could I have done herehttps://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/mw9qDEEYBMgRC4DVA?invite=cr-MSxod2QsOTM3NzgwODg&v=300

we love beamer team comps vro

[final grail]

Omg

The random crashing when you switch quirks is making me pee

[pale axle]

Yo are there tips how to aim better with the alpha and gamma on the ps5

[vale osprey]

For Strike AFO? Honestly, sometimes it is best to just let the aim assist take the wheel. Trying to fight it while it relocks on leads to missed shots.

The Gamma has an innate aim assist like Star's Gamma where it tries to send you towards the nearest player in your FOV. Just lining up the camera with your target should do it but the Gamma is known to be inconsistent (9 damage sometimes lol)

Either turn off Aim Assist to land better Betas and Alpha chips or just work with the Aim Assist.

[burnt ridge]

Tech afo lvl up

Usually alpha is your main source of damage so

Alpha 9
Beta 4
Gamma 9
Beta 9

That's usually the way you want to go

[shut socket]

disagree

beta 9 to start with

then either 4 for alpha or 9 for gamma

beta is just too useful to catch people at level 9, genuinely game changing strat

afo struggles with beamers and if your beta is level 9 you can catch them with his high jump

[burnt ridge]

You become lack luster in the damage you need for early game downs to get a quirk

[burnt ridge]

Useful in end game with a lot of people

But early game it isn't worth it most times

Especially because the beta does less damage then just using alphas

But that's why tech afo is so fun

Because there're multiple ways to play him

[shut socket]

well, regardless of storm phase the alpha has the same range

whereas the beta is explicitly and noticeably better with levels, especially when many people try jump afo to stop him using gamma

[burnt ridge]

Well the difference in about 60 damage to 100 is pretty noticeable

[shut socket]

it not like the beta doesnt combo into charged alpha mid air lol

if you really master the ins and outs of beta it becomes an absurdly busted move

[burnt ridge]

There's more to learn?

[shut socket]

esp with the angle update. It can be used in place of alpha and gamma saving ammo

catch people out of moves

catch out of rolls

stop people from entering the safe area

stop people escaping after a gamma pull into charged alpha

[burnt ridge]

I think his beta just isn't worth the levels early on

The quicker you can get mobility the better

[shut socket]

i get that, i just find relying on alpha to be a basic playstyle which people eventually evolve from

its how i used to play him

[burnt ridge]

I used to be a beta maxer but I couldn't reach 8ks with 10 ko games with it so I stopped

[shut socket]

happy for ya

luckily i got nothing to prove :3

[shut socket]

the gimmick is foul

[burnt ridge]

Beta only feels good with cover around

[shut socket]

happy for ya

[burnt ridge]

Besides wake ups ofc

[shut socket]

<3

[brave brook]

I feel like beta is more reliable to level first than alpha, even though my tuning is alpha centered. Just because beta at low levels is useless, while my alphas do around 67-70 dmg at lvl 1, which is good enough damage

[burnt ridge]

But more damage tho

[brave brook]

true, but I rely on my high level beta for extreme damage pull combos. Like I do gamma into charged alpha into hold beta, hold beta won't work if the beta is low level

I've also found out you can do gamma into charged alpha into like 2 ticks of beta, then 1-2 tap alphas for far more damage

but it's less consistent, cuz the enemy can spam recover before the tap beta and then that's just a wasted beta

which is why I find the hold combo more reliable

it's lowkey my bread and butter

[burnt ridge]

Well I think you shouldn't usually start a fight as afo in early game anyways (I still do)
But you'll probably have enough for beta by then

[brave brook]

I don't unless I'm quirk thirsty, but I'm always quirk thirsty 9 times out of 10.

[burnt ridge]

Especially when it's star and stripe

[brave brook]

https://klipy.com/gifs/cats-toby-the-cat-1

[rough abyss]

If I see a mirio I'm going all in for it.

[burnt ridge]

A low hp nagant or rapid all might

[zealous igloo]

Well it’ll be nearly impossible lol if your early game. But if you bait him then it can workout.

[brave brook]

yeah talk about mission impossible, I'd have better luck killing nagant early game than taking on either of the mirios. But their quirks are so valuable that it makes it worth it.

[shut socket]

favourite stolen quirks? i think mine is tech shig

i run hyper regen as a tuning and you can get double super regen for 10 shield every tick lol

with revenge support its absolutely vile

[rough abyss]

Rapidmight

[final grail]

Did they figure out what makes the game crash when you use stolen quirks yet

Is it just certain ones???

[shut socket]

i believe its when youre getting healed

something to do with the body glow effect being forced into purple makes it crash

so if youre healing whilst a teammate is fighting maybe hold off on switching back so fast lol

[shut socket]

great choice

[rough abyss]

I think certain interactions have also made the game crashed. Was invisible with froppy and healing, got hit by strike shoto beta and it hard crashed

[shut socket]

yeah it has something to do with effects turning off and on.

[modern zinc]

Rapid might or rapid bakugo

[shut socket]

underrated one is tamaki

especially on the new afo

[modern zinc]

With that grab yeesh

Rapid bakugo is just funny with afo. I don’t think its that great to steal but the horizontal movement is hilarious with him

[rough abyss]

Silly tod with endeavor tunings. Gonna try to hit some in matches for some laughs.

[brave brook]

definitely expensive on the Plus Chaos though, but worth it. Went from 66% to 52% with how long it took to do that TOD

[brave brook]

Had to diff another tech afo for game, there's only room for one demon lord in a single lobby.

[final grail]

Dude I got 2 more dupes of Strike AFO... No outfit...

[brave brook]

I had to pity prison escape, the luck isn’t lookin good

[final grail]

Yeah it might come down to pity for me too

I need to do like 40 more before his banner passes

[tender barn]

Tourist detected

[burnt ridge]

I main him

[scenic onyx]

You should almost always get B4 AT LEAST early

It’s one of the strongest abilities in the game with so many recent grabs and CQC abilities

My tech leveling is b4 a4, b9, a9, g9

Don’t mind leveling gamma if it’s almost at 4 but prefer not to

[brave brook]

my lvl path isn't perfect yet, I'm doing perfectly fine either way, buuuut I might need to start leveling alpha to 4 somewhere in early game to get a bigger htibox on it. My aim's good but lvl 1 alpha is crazy small.

[turbid bone]

I can’t so this anymore…

Tech AFO feels obsolete rn

[placid torrent]

a4 > b4 imo

[scenic onyx]

Maybe, probably depends on your start

They’re relatively interchangeable

Probably situational, both could work, both strong parts of the kit

[past cargo]

i feel like in the grand scheme of things

b4 is more important becuase b1 is basically useless or else you're up close and personal

like when comparing the buffs b4 weighs more important

but if you have an alpha build i would see why someone would wanna rush to a9

[scenic onyx]

Agreed with that ^

Also if you have really good aim, especially on m&k, it probably just is the move to go a9 first

[ionic fulcrum]

is anyone else having problems with crashing on PC when using special action ?

using special action wont change my moves and crash the next time i use it

[final grail]

No he can still smash people. Just gotta play careful with all the fliers and stuff

[neon stone]

Wish he would smash me still, WHAT?!

[ashen fulcrum]

Bro has no shame

[burnt ridge]

He's very versatile

You can really go for anything on him
He's definitely a high A tier

[neon stone]

Shame? Never heard of her

[tender barn]

me when I lie

[rough abyss]

Guys don't fall for this symbol of peace one for all propaganda.

[turbid bone]

IM SORRY I guess I’m just bad

[brave brook]

I had tech mirio quirk and crashed as soon as I switched to it just now... I have never had a sadder day this season.

I was going dummy, got a good looting spot so my kit was maxed early game except for alpha at lvl 4. I downed so many people that there was an ENTIRE ROOM of loot, just for me to swap and crash 💔

[burnt ridge]

It's like strike Dabi, you gotta position yourself

[rough abyss]

Small for one tryna steal a height quirk.

[jade quartz]

Potato for one trying to steal a deep fry quirk

[west mica]

I never landed this combo successfully, can you explain how it works ?

[shut socket]

General cheese for AFO is gamma pull, beta (5 ticks) into a charged alpha. The reason this works typically is that you cannot dodge mid-air

so you jump before you gamma

it isnt a true combo but it works on a lot of the cast unless they have I frames or a transcendent priority move (like nagant's coach gun)

for SUPER cheese, you can gamma pull, charged alpha, read a wake-up into beta, then charged alpha again

its best to fire the alpha directly upwards

[west mica]

I see, so I have to wait for the fith beta tic before alpha cuz when I try to cancel beta to alpha it just doesn’t work

[shut socket]

if youre unsure, test by doing 4 ticks into a normal alpha. You will get a 'feel' for the move

distance and level of beta impact the general properties of the combo but its generally the same. The further they are to you and the closer they are to the ground the more likely you should go for uncharged alpha after 5 ticks for a hard knockdown

hence why you jump for the pull gamma into charged alpha, they will spend more time in the air unable to dodge

If you pull more than 2 people, start with alpha immediately as there is a chance you will have pulled a character with iframes or counter. Just feel it out

but gamma -> beta is always a true combo

[west mica]

I usually go directly for beta if I’m not sure of the people around me cuz tech mirio can easily counter the charged alpha and the rapid version can beta out of it if he react quick enough

Thanks, I’ll practice those in training

[shut socket]

beta is a very important move

high level afo play will typically involve saving gamma as much as possible, waiting for the right moment. Beta is versatile and can act as a counter to nearly everything in the game if you're good with it. Catching people out, keeping them in the storm, protecting yourself, stopping dives, diving, anything!

[west mica]

Thats why I prioritize gamma reload normal tunings over beta, I go for pulls when I’m in closed space and use it to push enemies away when I get jumped

I have no mouvement but I can control the distance between me and the enemy

And beam them from afare

[ashen fulcrum]

Alpha 9 first is insane

[burnt ridge]

Look, I know it seems bad but

I'm running kota finder

[ashen fulcrum]

Beta is by far his best tool and it's abysmal donkey p1ss at level 1, Alpha is at least serviceable

[ashen fulcrum]

[burnt ridge]

Tough crowd

[ashen fulcrum]

Mods ban this guy

[burnt ridge]

Tbf my friend grabs kota while I loot

[ashen fulcrum]

True but Kota is always a gamble

[burnt ridge]

Well this game is always a gamble

Even tech afo

Gambling on people slipping up

[ashen fulcrum]

But they don't gotta slip up to catch this (Beta[5] > Charged Alpha)

[burnt ridge]

But ever since I posted that I stopped and now I'm using beta more

[burnt ridge]

5 ticks?

[ashen fulcrum]

Yes

[rough abyss]

I genuinely hate this season so much. Yet another good game spoiled. If it ain't the hard crash bugs I get hit with a server timeout.

[burnt ridge]

WE need to make a tech afo guide

Like a 5-10 page doc having
Combos
Techs
Optimal quirks
Positioning
Team play
Strengths
Weaknesses
Builds
Play style
Counters
Best maps
Best plays

Etc

Make it happen afo goats 🥹

[high tangle]

Some people are working on 1 rn

[burnt ridge]

🥹

[brave brook]

how does one play around assault kiri, him having hyper armor on everything combined with an insane amount of dmg reduction is near impossible to beat when I don't have another quirk

[blissful swan]

Son is losing to the b tier

Just roll and bros entire moveset is useless

If ur tech afo you can still gamma him away

Just pepper with alphas

[ashen fulcrum]

Roll and push him

Chip with alphas until he dies

He can't do anything in a 1v1 and is only kind of a threat if you pull him while he's hardened

[turbid bone]

https://tenor.com/view/richard-attenborough-whip-whipped-whiplash-whiplashed-gif-16731040

FASTER

[burnt ridge]

Decent game on USJ

[brave brook]

what was I supposed to do, I had a lvl 5 beta and that's it, he hardened and was jumping me with a tech toga 😔

I was belting the toga but he came in and I couldn't handle the 1v2

[neon stone]

I was considering making my vid, but I’m busy with another video already

Perhaps I need to place that aside and work on my AFO vid next

[burnt ridge]

There's like no afo content let alone guides for tech afo

He's a hidden gem that people just don't use

[neon stone]

Then perhaps it is time I demonstrated him to the world

[zealous igloo]

Maybe cuz he’s not that hard to use

https://tenor.com/view/my-hero-academia-all-for-one-gif-1167842183776684613

[burnt ridge]

Well yeah, everyone isn't hard to use

But mastering the character is different

The only "guides" that are out for him is just the same thing repeated

[undone grotto]

I potentially got enough for 1 space hop, but no keys to upgrade the costume yet. What should I choose potentially from these for the future? Only have this skin so far

[steady minnow]

Hero style imo

[undone grotto]

I've just been outplayed (as supphaul) as a space hop tech afo who used betas on the edge to get me constantly, and used a lotta alphas, but unfortunately i crashed and was unable to find out what that player upgraded first nor their build, so i wanna ask here for the future, is that even hard to master btw. maybe i got gotten by a true pro?

[brave brook]

I don't use space hop tech afo, so no idea for me

[brave brook]

somethin light

Would've won this one, but my strike deku didn't bother to pick up a single res card I was trying to give him

[undone grotto]

Happens 😔 but still 🎉

What build do you use then, and perhaps tactic?

[brave brook]

Sorry for the late response twin, making some food. I use prison escape (hero style) with revenge support and fixer, all alpha dmg focused. On some people, it makes your lvl 9 uncharged alphas hit for 101. For my tactic… I guess I just do a bit of everything. Depending on the opponent, say if I’m against a nagant, I’ll try and lead her into a building, where AFO has the advantage. If I land a raw beta, I do the usual 5 ticks into tap alpha. If I land a pull, I do charged alpha into hold beta, that combo is the BEST, it’s gotten me so many kills.

Though that combo only works if your beta is high enough lvl

[undone grotto]

Huh... Worth picking up. Could you show me your build so I could see how many tunes for alphas you've used? Or type it out, etc
And I'd def needa watch combo guides bc iirc gamma pull + charged alpha is already a knockdown, or perhaps not?.. no idea ngl, i wasnt very successful w him when i tried him out, i only have one PUR skin and no keys yet to start fiddling with it for max things

[brave brook]

Nope, hold gamma into charged alpha doesn’t hard knockdown, people just usually spam spacebar after the charged alpha to try and get away, that’s their mistake. It’s kind of a trap, if they take the charged alpha and try to let themselves fall to the floor, the held beta will hit them for like at least 100 more damage, and if they spam spacebar, they’re stuck in the air and still in your beta hitbox… their I-frames will end mid-air and they’ll take the beta anyway.

as for my build...

ik how the 2 gamma attack powers on the right look, tech afo's gamma does no dmg, yes. But it pays off big time if you steal a quirk that has a good gamma, since that's 2 gammas under a fixer

If it's not your style, just change bakugo for mirio, and overhaul for nejire

But main point of the build, that’s 4 alpha attack powers, 3 of which are under a lvl 11 fixer

I've got present mic because afo's triple quirk swap is a bug that they plan on fixing, so the special action reload will come in handy when that bug is gone

[undone grotto]

Big brain, I approve 🫳 🫳
So fair nuff... 3 red slots (2 villain), 1 purple slot, green + blue are what make this 🤔

[brave brook]

you also need a yellow for gp dmg, and if possible, a 4th red for hp dmg so you'll be dealing the same dmg no matter hp or gp. But if not, just 3 reds for all the alpha attack powers, and 1 purple for denki will maximize your alpha dmg. The 4th red and 1 yellow are just bonuses

[zealous igloo]

This what I use too.

Alpha damage just too good especially charged

I get more kos with this build

[sacred willow]

Does anyone have a good build for normal style Prison escape

right now im running quirk factor release and will power

[undone grotto]

Agreed, and that ideally can only grow bigger if you got more yellows in. But that's not guaranteedly possible bc such tunings are quite rare

[neon stone]

I am on 190 pity

I am

baby for one

[ember merlin]

hey guys

sooo

i require your help

what costume should i build and what tunnings should i prio?

[ember merlin]

im thinking dangerous

[brave brook]

I’m not too sure which is the best, I only made one which was the heat variant, with revenge support and hyper regen, for a tiny amount of sustain since it’s a budget build. I only really did it for the mini-slots, since they give GOOD alpha dmg

Not on the lvl of a PUR of course, but the dmg increase is very noticeable

[burnt ridge]

The red suit was the one I used when I started afo

[rough abyss]

My fav build right here.

[spare crystal]

This happened to any one before

[rough abyss]

Yeh. His special is full of bugs this season

[ember merlin]

yep

happened to me when i was trying him in traing

was testing ida and for some reason

the game just didnt let me swap quirk sets

it fixes it self when you take a different one

[rough abyss]

I just made the cyberpunk dangerous and I'm having a blast.

[neon stone]

Base one. Here’s the build I made for it if it helps

Either that or I think dangerous base costume is decent

Eh… not really better tbh

[placid torrent]

i made this ages ago lol

[burnt ridge]

Where is it 😭

[shut socket]

curious what this does to factor fusion

[spare crystal]

You can’t use the full charged version at all

[unkempt sage]

Low key thinking of putting twisted fortune on AFO prison escape hero with fixer

Support for one that can do 100+ alphas

[neon stone]

[burnt ridge]

Everyone is eating the afo pack this match 🥹

[tender barn]

D4RK wtf is this

[neon stone]

My budget AFO build

[tender barn]

Revenge strike + compression magic 😭

[burnt ridge]

Gotta make do with what you have

[drifting coyote]

Did they fix afo sa bug?

[brave brook]

no

either they couldn't fit in the fix for the timeframe, or they don't know how to fix it yet

[tender barn]

It's probably of lesser importance to them too

AFO's SA bug isn't breaking the game

We're REALLY lucky Strike AFO isn't anywhere near as potent as Nagant

or Tech Might

[final grail]

Hey gents did they fix the AFO crash

[brave brook]

Not that I know of. They haven't said anything about that being fixed, or even that they know of it's existence.

[final grail]

I guess I'll find out the hard way when I play him and use stolen quirks!

[neon stone]

AFO crash? It’s a legit thing and not just my Xbox crudding itself?

I’ve been crashing a decent amount when I play AFO

[rough abyss]

Ah sweet. New bakugo tuning means 4 Y+ attack power +11 fixer build.

[scenic onyx]

Which outfit?

[rough abyss]

You could even do 5 Y attack power but I'd rather have hp damage

[final grail]

Sometimes if you get healed while using a stolen quirk

Also there's one where you can't switch quirks til you steal again

[timid sable]

Guys am I a good afo when people say I'm cheating with my tuning

[neon stone]

Yeah I get that a lot

[neon stone]

I can imagine you’re using the Fixer alpha build

[timid sable]

I used tech shiggy with young afo

With the new bakugo

[rough abyss]

Someone thought I was cheating because I was almost immortal with a stolen tech shiggy quirk since I had revenge assault and hyper regen as my tunings with lvl 9 green cards

[turbid bone]

Simply being near a Strike AFO made my game crash

[rough abyss]

We call that aura.

[undone grotto]

STRIKING aura! jk

[tender barn]

No lmao

[tight jasper]

its impossible to escape Tech Bakugo's Alpha

any1 got tips on how as a strike afo?

I died four times trying to escape it and its aggravating to fight against with the 150+ dmg and aimbot-like tracking

[daring scroll]

is this the move

[torpid epoch]

Is there already a tip thing for red AFO I can look for or do I just ask because I have no clue how to survive long enough as him to get another quirk, I've had my moments but I don't think I'll get by like this

[rough abyss]

Positioning

[spare crystal]

The new new all for one has an ability whenever I’m winning the match my game explodes

[rough abyss]

My favorite feature. If it isn't hard crashing its server timeouts

Always when you're absolutely slapping the entire lobby.

They hate to see a Villian winning.

[tight jasper]

Strike AFO is kinda buns

ngl

Its genuinely impossible to avoid anything, like I keep dying to one nagant the whole game. How are her moves unavoidable as Strike AFO? I got comboed by 4 people at once, like this character is so stiff.

Any1 got tips for him?

[strange hazel]

are you trying to trade alphas with her

[tight jasper]

I try to avoid her by gamma dashing away, but her aim and tracking is impeccable. Nagant is one of thos characters that I can't fight on AFO, for some odd reason.

I died the first time to that so I didn't do it again

[strange hazel]

I think this guy's best move imo is his beta

[tight jasper]

sadly

[strange hazel]

I'd try stick to the ground against a nagant

[tight jasper]

alright

[strange hazel]

but that goes for most characters

nagant can punish endlag very easily lol

[tight jasper]

sucks to fight against her, ngl.

esp tech bakugo

[strange hazel]

you could try gamma'ing her

[tight jasper]

Im usually 9 times out of 10 too far away

for either beta or alpha

and she just zooms away

[strange hazel]

yeah I get ya

[tight jasper]

bruh

I lowk just lost to a twice

I think its time to hang it up

this character might not be for me

[strange hazel]

that is pretty cooked

[tight jasper]

Yeah, im hanging this guy up, I lost against twice 2 times.

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-9236375

I really spent everything to get this guy and I regret it

[burnt ridge]

That's what I used to do

Don't do it 💔

[rough abyss]

Strike For One is gonna be cooked once they fix the "bug"

[neon stone]

Sadly

Strike AFO is fun, but there’s so many situations where Tech AFO Is just better

And yeah after the big fix Strike AFO kinda eh

[rough abyss]

His biggest strength is his air stall, stun, and big damage if you land gamma. But stuck between using your gamma for damage or movement

Agreed tech has such strong area control and denial with a strong beamer alpha.

I've been having a blast with the "bug" doing stun gamma combos. I wonder if they'll give him some buffs and what they could do to even help him out.

[neon stone]

My stun gamma will never hit its so annoying

Even when I hit the gamma it just doesn’t work

[rough abyss]

The range is tight

[tender barn]

I got one

Play tech afo

[tight jasper]

i spent 12k crystals and 1000 tickets to get him

I refuse

Tickets I could've used for Bakugo

[tender barn]

Yeah well, me too

Join the club

We all did

[tight jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-crying-cry-sad-gif-3971777458639425020

[tender barn]

Maybe they'll buff him if we admit he's buns and dont use him

[tight jasper]

honestly, I wish.

[tender barn]

But rn he's just not worth using at all

[tight jasper]

Right now he's so bad

imo

[tender barn]

Just about anything he can do that isnt movement, Tech AFO does better

[tight jasper]

even movement is bad for him

Tech Bakugo and Nagant can beam him

even if he tries to run

[tender barn]

while having worse cooldowns and -50 HP

People will go "but he can skycamp"

Yeah, skycamp and do what exactly?

an awful lot of nothing

[tight jasper]

Doesn't mean anything when half of the cast is able to reach him.

[tender barn]

His alpha tickles

[tight jasper]

its so laughably weak

ima go back to YAFO

this is so buns

[final grail]

I think Strike AFO is kind of a beta sneak merchant

Or a gamma max sneak merchant

[tender barn]

Strike AFO is the weakest strike ever

[tight jasper]

on god

[tender barn]

His alpha damage is pathetic and he only gets 5 shots

with high cooldown

[tight jasper]

just got on YAFO and already Im dominating, like Strike AFO is so sad.

[tender barn]

That's honestly the most egregious thing about him actually

Low damage, high cooldowns, low rounds

[tight jasper]

His alpha tracking kinda sucks

or its aoe is so small i think

[tender barn]

Alpha consumes 20% per shot, does only like 100 damage if all 5 hits land, and takes forever to come back

Beta is weak and inconsistent

and gamma is pointless w/o wasting even more of your alpha and/or beta

[tight jasper]

Yeah the random hits are annoying, and it punishes you for using the move

why does it punish the player for playing

[tender barn]

all for a move that has no armor, no tracking, and half the time the guy falls out

and all skills have higher cooldowns than anything tech afo has

[tight jasper]

I can't wait for the buff he recieves, if he recieves one.

[tender barn]

Tech AFO charge alpha on its own mogs Strike AFO's entire kit

And that's w/o considering tech beta and gamma

both of which are excellent moves on their own

Strike AFO has nothing that is on the same level of dangerous as Tech charge alpha

[tight jasper]

Strike AFO's only viable move is his Alpha, and that move sucks and hurts his whole kit.

[tender barn]

tbh not a lot of chars do

[tight jasper]

true

Tech Shiggy has 144 level 1 alpha

tho

but he's just a busted character in his own right

[tender barn]

he doesnt get to jump in alpha you with it

Not enough people here talk about the sheer utility you get with Tech AFO Jump+charge alpha

You can jump in+charge alpha or jump back charge alpha to approach or retreat with it

[tight jasper]

I should go back to tech AFO its been awhile

I usually go strike shiggy

[tender barn]

and if someone tries to chase you

Like those dumb OFA Dekus

you let it rip and they eat 200

and suddenly they have to choose between continuing to risk it or deciding you're no longer worth the risk

Cuz Tech AFO actually does have the immediate firepower to make you go "hey maybe I shouldnt try this guy"

vs Strike AFO who has nothing like that

[tight jasper]

Tech AFO is so mjuch fine

[tender barn]

Tech AFO really does have everything a char could ever want that isnt movement or armor

both of which can be patched by taking a quirk

He's just beautifully well rounded with a reliable base kit

which makes him unique vs the other copy chars who are usually dependant on the quirk(s) they borrow

Like let's take Monoma for instance

If Monoma was permanently locked out of his SA, he'd suck

his base kit depends heavily on his ability to mix and match quirk skills

If he wants to dish out heavy damage, he needs a quirk for that

[rough abyss]

Well. See it as you investing in hp attack power tuning for villian slots.

[tender barn]

AoE? He needs a quirk for that

[tender barn]

Same with Toga

Toga's base kit is eh, but where she really shines is her ability to change into other characters and either use their special actions and quirk skills, or change back to reset cooldowns

[tight jasper]

Yeah, YAFO is so much more fun.

im sad

i wasted all that

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-homelander-the-deep-boys-angry-gif-17484443382225121615

[brave brook]

I used 200 tickets for it, was worth it cuz it got me to use 1000 for prison escape

[tight jasper]

Atleast I got prison escape, the new skin, and the qss

still angry

[brave brook]

I got tech bakugo too, I'm not used to playing him though

I played rapid bakugo the most, tech is weirding me out

[tight jasper]

I have the best bakugo build and everything, but no tech bakugo

atleast I got rapid

i got 150 tickets left in the license, so hopefully I get him.

[brave brook]

what's the best? I'm askin out of curiosity, I don't have many bakugo PURS, which annoys me

[tight jasper]

The Strafe Panzer (Heat)

Thats what I'm always seeing as his best, idk.

Wall Runner and SA Reload Boost

Not sure how well it runs on tech tho

I mainly use it for Rapid Bakugo

[brave brook]

yeah I just looked at it, seems comp. I'm stuck with quirk assist gear, casual, hero costume all might ver, and open faced

actually shocked I haven't gotten more, since I've been playing for so long

[tight jasper]

I mean, its worth the grab, if you're going to play Rapid Bakugo alot, but its not the only costume he has .

I forgot the others

Apparently most people run Xmas santa suit for em

[brave brook]

I'm runnin this for tech for rn, not a ton of options with the fits I've got. The self proclaimed #1 rapidgo said to change fixer for permeation, which I might do

[tight jasper]

I mean go ahead, I just run wall runner cuz I wanna up his maneuverability.

[brave brook]

also might change the gammas for alphas for techgo, since he seems to rely on alpha

[tight jasper]

Alpha is insane

Doing that might be the move

Ive seen techgo's beam people from across areas with alpha alone

[brave brook]

I lowkey just learned the hard way I need a higher sensitivity for my aimed in alpha while on techgo

65 is not it

[tight jasper]

I really hope we lose this stupid gacha nonsense but I know they'll never do that

[daring scroll]

his alpha is actually op

it has supp nejire hitboxes with 94 per alpha and fast fire rate

you could just play a beamer

[brave brook]

but when they get close to you, you'll have no defense since your beta will be low level in most circumstances while taking this level path

that's the flaw I see in it

spamming alpha can only get you so far

[brave brook]

https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/mzREAugwvsmc6sa_J?invite=cr-MSxST1IsOTM3NzgwODg&v=22

cementoss is such a nuisance, this was satisfying for me

[rough abyss]

I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!
just playing afo normally nothing to cause it and it still hardcrashes 😭

[rough abyss]

Good tip for strike for one is someone aerial wakeups you can punish with gamma. I see people wake up against my gamma so I just immediately charge up a gamma and get a KO.

[tender barn]

Except fairy nejy is still faster and way bigger 😭

[tender barn]

Also yeah, main issue with alpha path for Tech AFO is that beta levels are mandatory

beta needs to be L9, and Gamma at least L4

Alpha is the least necessary skill to have leveled up

[jade quartz]

hhmmmm possiblyyy

[tender barn]

This is why alpha Fixer is so great on AFO too btw, not just for high alpha damage, but to make alpha still strong even at lv1

Fixer makes early game afo way better at getting those quick kills he needs

So you can get beta and gamma up asap

See this build here.

Lv10 Fixer w/ lv6 alpha, +lv4 alpha on the side is enough to make your alpha deal 60 damage at lv1, which is quite good.

Plus with this build you can also either run ability manifest or crushing pu for greater damage potential

If you want a different Fixer you could totally run this instead w/ Space Hop or something

Though this is Fixer lv10, not 11

Prison Escape actually provides the strongest L11 Fixer, but you're forced to run the less desirable Revenge Support or Divine Protection alongside it

But I'm getting sidetracked—Fixer is great cuz now you don't have to level alpha more than you already didn't need to

Your charge alphas will still do 180+ damage a pop at lv1 w/ Fixer

[neon stone]

Brother go ahead and change Nagant to Tamaki

What’re you doin

[spare crystal]

He is talking about tech afo

[neon stone]

Oh

Mb

I didn’t read da context

[tender barn]

He is correct, though… nah even with Strike AFO I'd still prefer more alpha

[neon stone]

My apologies my original gangster

[tender barn]

Cuz it's still the skill you want to do more damage

Strike gamma is really inconsistent too

[neon stone]

Tbh Hero Style Prison Escape will always be my fit. It’s just perfect

[tender barn]

Not knocking that fit, it's good

Though I feel it's a little powercrept at the time

Still, Space Hop + Willpower

can't go wrong with that

[neon stone]

I would say maybe for Strike

On Tech I dunno

[tender barn]

Space Hop is ok on tech

You can abuse alpha better and get to places that you might have trouble getting to

Also helps with the Tech Mirio matchup

Here are my Prison Escape builds btw

Probably AFO's "best" costume overall, in terms of set variety

Though I personally feel that Cyberpunk (specifically Dangerous) and Villain Costume β lean into more effective specialties

[tender barn]

Like i dunno, what else would you be running other than Space Hop on purple Prison for tech?

Symbol of Peace? Revenge Assault?

Not much other good options

Maybe Quirk Factor?

But tech AFO doesn't need it

His cooldowns are fine

[spare crystal]

Gamma it’s nice with red afo

I like Alpha more helps my early game plus with stolen powers it helps a lot more than gamma maxing

How good is revenge assault hyper regeneration actually don’t have that build

[tender barn]

Pretty solid:

Good slots, helps a lot if you're looking for offensive sustainability

Also makes stealing a Tech Shiggy quirk even more beneficial

[spare crystal]

I was thinking about using that with technical afo just for more sustain

[tender barn]

Yeah, I mentioned it before, but what your build looks like for Tech AFO really depends on what exactly you're looking for

If you want to dish out lots of damage, use a Fixer build

If you need more survivability, you could either go with a Willpower build or Revenge Assault + Hyper Regen build

[spare crystal]

I would like to use a sustained build or fixer and willpower I plan to just have both builds available

[tender barn]

Have a look at these builds then #1233266400911560794 message

Just scroll up, I showed my builds per costume

I only neglected to show my Knight of All Evil builds

[spare crystal]

Yeah, they look good although I do already have loads of builds for him

[tender barn]

I personally swap between the Cyberpunk (Dangerous), Prison Escape (Hero), and Villain Costume β (Fancy) builds

Knight of All Evil (Dangerous) is worth mentioning

You can run Revenge Support with Hyper Regen

and on KoAE (Hero) you can run a PU build

Though, ever since Sisterly meta ended I haven't been really liking those slots since

Newer costumes just offer better options now

[spare crystal]

True

I actually never made that kight of all evil build it reminded me too much of the prison escape hero version

[tender barn]

Yeah but the key difference is that cant run Hyper Regen on Prison Hero

So KoAE Dangerous has that important thing over it

Instead you get to run Lv11 with lv10 alpha

for optimal alpha damage

So it really goes back to my original statement: what do you want more, damage or sustainability

Though I'll say that Prison Hero kinda gets both if you choose to run Revenge Support instead of Divine Protection

No Hyper Regen abuse, but still somewhat useful healing

coupled with Tech AFO's slower playstyle, the residual hp gain can add up

[spare crystal]

I agree with you it’s just you kind of get the best of both worlds with the fixer fit

[tender barn]

yeah true

Prison Escape's too goated

Though I still feel Cyberpunk (Dangerous) and the new opportunities presented by Villain β are absolutely worth it

[spare crystal]

True all for one is a character who has loads of builds

[tender barn]

Eh, he could use better Wall Runner builds

I'd also personally love to see a costume that can support Hyper Regen + Fixer

Or a Fixer costume with more red slots

Or something with Fixer + Wall Runner

hell even Wall Runner + Hyper Regen could work

Maybe you could get a lil freaky with Revenge Rapid + Hyper Regen

That could be so cool

Cuz AFO is just a really good shieldbreaker in general

You could guard break someone and always be able to chase them

[brave brook]

would be good in theory, it won't if they just keep running instead of turning back to guardbreak you again for your revenge rapid to re-activate

[tender barn]

hm, true

[brave brook]

to the nagant who quit on me and aizawa, I pity for your loss of elo, we won this as a random duo

[pale axle]

Are you on console or pc

[tight jasper]

Console

[karmic coral]

I'm a bit late to the convo but I find it hard to agree when current Shinso exists. Dude has been nonexistent this season and after fighting the very few that exist I think there's good reason why

At this rate him and Aizawa have swapped roles, even with Aizawa's nerfs

[strange hazel]

SnS is also worse

if you were comparing basekits maybe she beats Strike AFO but Strike AFO can just pick up someone else's kit too

[karmic coral]

That's the thing yeah. Strike AFO still has a better early game than Tech and while Tech's payoff is larger it's also somewhat area dependent. Even if both are kinda stiff I'd much rather have strike's kit out in the open than Tech. Even inside a building Strike's Beta is still good for bunker strats and area denial. He hard punishes any melee character if he just casts it on himself.

And considering a certain broccoli haired gnat is very commonly in your face with super armor, having a stun that (I think) can bypass that for you to get a free charged gamma is good.

If Nagant isn't in the lobby or dead somehow you kinda just get to torture most of the cast in final circle from above. I think the main thing holding back Strike is the cooldowns. I feel like I'm so screwed if I don't run quirk factor release on him.

[undone grotto]

Afo is such a dreamy char
How cool would be strafo w nagant quirkset

[strange hazel]

there's more than just nagant that can shoot at a guy in the sky

his alpha should really just have less knockdown

thats my big issue with him rn

and some more ammo

[karmic coral]

^this especially yeah

Why the hell is a strike character knocking only after hitting two alphas??

[strange hazel]

yeah

I know I said his beta is his best ability but

honestly im going b4 a9 now

i need that alpha dmg

[robust rivet]

Max gamma first. Leave beta level 1. Then max alpha. The reason is this lowers your movement cd significantly.

Also it's your best move pre-2nd quirk

The play style should just be. Drop - loot 9gamma asap - 3rd party a fight to find a quirk

Alpha isn't leveled early because it's primarily just a "this person is getting away and I don't have anything else to press" button

Beta is NEVER leveled because its primary aoe is the same at all levels and if your tuning around it's DMG then you misunderstand the character

As fun as this hero is, you must accept without 2nd quirk you are a Gamma merchant

[rough abyss]

The Strong arm of Doom!

[brave brook]

I also level beta last on strike, though I know there's one difference, which is you get another lightning strike at I think lvl 4 or 7, and another one at 9

[tight jasper]

no way the wifi cut me off mid win

https://tenor.com/view/immortal-where-is-omni-man-where-is-he-invincible-gif-17913376818474440095

[neon stone]

Been there once before

[strange hazel]

hmm I don't think alpha is that bad despite me thinking it should get buffed

like it hits for 110 per wave launch with all waves hitting (well at least my fixer build does iirc)

priortising around the gamma though is an interesting playstyle

[strange hazel]

nope you only get 2 uses even at lvl 9 still

[brave brook]

didn't say an extra use, said an extra strike, like how there's like 6 lightning strikes below lvl 7, and there's like 9 lightning strikes per beta at lvl 9

[strange hazel]

hmm you're right

well that's rather useless

[tender barn]

The AFO jerkin' arm

[pale axle]

Bro when are they going to fix afo Special action just lose 2 games cause of it bugging and crashing my game

[placid torrent]

Its a Strike AFO specific issue

It should work fine on Tech

[brave brook]

nah it's tech too, it's happened to me

[burnt ridge]

Does anyone feel like strike afo should have been gamma centered instead of alpha?

It feels like his gamma is way too inconsistent to use as an actual means of dealing damage besides using it because everything is on cooldown

I'd rather his fist just do one big chunk of damage rather than it falling off instantly as soon as you use it

Obviously they would need to adjust some things like cooldowns or nerf other things about him

[turbid bone]

I was just using strike AFO’s quirks as Monoma and my game crashed

Everything about this skill set is broken man

[robust rivet]

he is gamma centered. If you are inconistent it's an aim/timing issue

You have to read your opponents rhythm and catch them

Like for sure I make plays with all the other moves and 2nd quirk, but at the end of the day if you aren't consistently landing your gammas catching people when they get up or are in the air or trying to roll

then you aren't playing the hero correctly

1 full buff gamma is enough to break 90% of heroes shields

land it once now they have to roll and play scared/ run away vs your gamma which is one of the best mobility in the game

also if you are in combat you should almost always be using max buff gamma

I see alot of redforones using just partial buff and there is a skill to knowing when to save your extra mobilit or skill charges

but almost always just use full buff especially because the aoe knockdown at the end can help you take less dmg/position better in a fight

even use full gamma when u are running away, the extra distance and safety you get from the animation is noticable

[brave brook]

I'll bring us to the top of the tierlist myself if I have to

got bugged to where I couldn't swap to my 2nd quirk and still won

[undone grotto]

Yea, to fix that for the future you gotta take a new quirk into the SpA

[brave brook]

https://klipy.com/gifs/i-dont-get-it-jujutsu-kaisen--k01KQ5PKB642PCP8YAKDKQ8FSTA

[undone grotto]

ok, just, next time try using your SpA on another downed enemy, should fix this until it breaks again

[brave brook]

gotcha, all my IQ when it comes to this game is battle IQ, I'm slow

https://klipy.com/gifs/cat-broken-cat-1--k01KQ5Q0Q3TFBZ2AKADTKNF628R

[undone grotto]

I'm the lord of cat gifs, it must be done

😂 coincidentally that wasnt a cat gif but i appreciate the cat pic & gif collection. I myself have a lotta those but trying to use gifs in mobile discord lags it to no end so it's miserable so i havent used them like for years already.

[brave brook]

playing with randoms is so annoying sometimes, both my teammates left cuz they decided to stay in a fight early game when they both have movement to get out, then immediately alt f4 when they die, leaving me a solo afo

tis the life of a solo queuer ig

[undone grotto]

Damn, team up w ppl on here or just hop on japanese serv 😔 im sorry for you man

[brave brook]

I'ma just keep it pushin for now, it's just annoying, had the ability to get res cards and they still left 🥀

[brave brook]

sold at the end cuz rapid mirio is just stupid, I was inside of his gamma and somehow my alpha still reflected back at me and killed me

[burnt ridge]

Why did you use your alpha😭

[brave brook]

I had nothing off cd, also, I was INSIDE his gamma, so I didn't expect it to reflect at me when I'm not even shooting at the shield. That hitbox is broken

[burnt ridge]

Shoulda use your melee 💔

[brave brook]

Obviously, but who would use melee when alpha gains more damage in that situation? If the gamma hitbox wasn't crazy I wouldn't have gotten hit

[burnt ridge]

Well his alpha is pretty large

[final grail]

I should try to gamma more

[undone grotto]

Fatgum Inc

[tender barn]

tf is this doin in my glorious AFO chat 😭

[rough abyss]

Tech for one on the left.
Strike for one on the right.

[tender barn]

So Strike is a fat chud?

[rough abyss]

No. An empty kit with fragments of something

[tender barn]

😭

Man

Why'd they have to make him so cool

[jade quartz]

I love peperoni pizza 🤤

[tender barn]

You guys have no idea how badly I wanna like Strike AFO

[rough abyss]

Agreed. His lightning is awesome. The way he floats feels so in character for all his skills. The ability mashing. The fun TODs with his gamma stun.

[tender barn]

I really

REALLY

want to like Strike AFO

[rough abyss]

Now I would LOVE to get this in a match unfortunately I have the joyous experience of hard crash and server timeouts with this fun character when I get the setup going.

[burnt ridge]

I love hot sauce

[rough abyss]

Yeah apparently a full gas tank of it.

[brave brook]

It CANNOT be healthy for the liver vro.

[burnt ridge]

The first thing I thought of when I saw his gamma stun

[brave brook]

These bugs with both afos are so tiring, I keep losing games cuz of the game not letting me swap to the quirk I have for movement

[tender barn]

At least you have the privilege of losing the game

Too many times now, each time I'm wiping the floor with my enemies my game crashes all because I made the egregious error of switching quirks

It just happened today! I was winning a 2v1! With Tech AFO!

I press special action to switch to the shigaraki quirk I had to continue my pressure

And poof! Game crashed on me

Again!

[brave brook]

yeah I hate when that happens, it's only happened to me once so far, but it was on probably a game in my top 3, had killed like 8 people in a single room at once, took tech mirio, swapped, crashed

[brave brook]

aaaand nevermind, it just happened

a character is broken and they're not putting priority on fixing him 😔

[tender barn]

Don't let me anywhere near a Mirio quirk 👀
https://drive.google.com/file/d/135v5d_4fk3-91RCUE_F6m-y0YDnhsDao/view?usp=drivesdk

[hasty dome]

Just pulled factor fusion afo, I need a tuning build but all I have is his prison break outfit. could someone screenshot there build for me plz

[brave brook]

well I don't have one on prison escape for strike afo, but I recommend either the hero style or dangerous style. With hero style you can run fixer and revenge support/divine protection, alpha or gamma dmg since it's strike afo, whichever move you prefer to do big dmg.

On dangerous, you can run QFR or space hop with willpower or crushing PU charge, or even kota finder if you think you can find him first. QFR helps with his cooldowns that people often find annoying to deal with, and space hop helps him get into the air without having to waste a gamma, so he can airstall or run away with more effectiveness.

[hasty dome]

Thanks homie I really appreciate it

[brave brook]

Np vro

[brave brook]

yo afo makes me so mad, can't even play my own main rn 😐

I was just leveling up my gamma and CRASHED, how do you crash from leveling gamma

[burnt ridge]

Replace hyper with fixer or can keep it

You can also swap it to gamma related with strike

[brave brook]

he said he only has prison escape

[rough abyss]

I can't stop laughing I wish I recorded it. This rapid bakugo stopped healing to interrupt my teammate reviving and I hit him with a nasty max gamma so hard when he got downed he ragdolled like the strike bakugo howitzer down bug.

[real reef]

Anyone got general tips for blue deku counterplay as strike AFO? been struggling with his armor being way crazier than AFOs

[brave brook]

hate ofa deku's who use trance blow, needing a bigger crutch on an already crutch character is insanity to me. A crutch for your crutch

[burnt ridge]

The crutch can't handle all the weight they have 💔

[undone grotto]

Potentially being on land and casting electric rain on yourself and trying to stand where it lands
If you're on land and they activate gamma to home in on you, jump idly
Like space hop jump
I think you can dodge it that way, and prolly catch them on the failure
Not sure if meleeing them back/preemptively/trading is good tactic
Also maybe crit permeation w something that would allow you to heal or get team help and stall for time/grasp an opening

[dense basin]

Whats the lvl path for red afo?

[rough abyss]

It's a very unfavorable matchup. He'll OVERDRIVE! chase you if you gamma away. Try to sway him from attacking by using alpha? He'll just ground armor alpha you when you try since your an easy target. Beta is your strongest tool against him to keep melee spam away. Your best bet is having another quirk stolen to try and engage him. Will need your team if not. As mizuumi was saying as well

[undone grotto]

Yipeee im useful without being good at tafo and not having strafo

[rough abyss]

Deleted 😭 💔

26gp 337hp lord this character is lethal when you hit with him

Your immortal build won't save you

[undone grotto]

Alr fair thats strong :(

Also pog skin

[tender barn]

another reason to use tech afo

Strike doesn't have anything OFA Deku is even remotely afraid of

[tender barn]

God StrikeAFO goes so hard when the enemy is terrible

[rough abyss]

Which is the average tech shigaraki player 😂

[rough abyss]

100%

Only reason I've been playing strike for one is to get value out of gamma fixer on stolen quirks

[tender barn]

you do know that gamma fixer benefits tech afo too for stolen quirks, right?

[rough abyss]

Obviously but if I'm putting that many points into gamma I'd rather get value off of base kit too. Besides when I play tech for one I use the alpha fixer build

[tender barn]

Eh, I'd still rather not have the consequence of having my base kit be mostly useless

All for a flashy gamma

[brave brook]

Had to remind these Z tiers who used to run these lobbies

The entire lobby must've forgot what character I'm playing https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/mCqdb7iNei9RF5cIH?invite=cr-MSw5cEosOTM3NzgwODg&v=36

a bit TOO comfortable in the air

[jade quartz]

Crazy how none of them dodged it

[undone grotto]

Absolutely all of them

[brave brook]

I think the ENTIRE rest of the lobby was in the air, just having a DBZ fight, and forgot there's a maxed out tech afo below them 🥀

[past cargo]

71 on tech Mirio..

[brave brook]

I have NO idea if that's good or bad tbh, I have never touched tech mirio since I don't have him, so idk his base dmg

[past cargo]

well

i have his best build tuned

and get like 57 alpha dmg

like 65 in pu

so 71

is inasne 😭

[past cargo]

[turbid bone]

What are the most optimal combo for tech AFO

combos*

[ashen fulcrum]

Pull Startup Combos:
Keep in mind that none of the combos listed here are exclusive to a Pull, it's just much easier to do them starting off with it. These Pulls are also assuming you're in the air when you do them, as you should be for the most part.

Pull > Charged Alpha > Beta 3 > Charged Alpha:
Camera should be angled upwards for the first Alpha, otherwise the beta won't be able to connect. This is not technically a true combo, as the opponent can air recover after the first Alpha (and will auto-recover on GP), but more often than not, you can just keep holding Beta and they'll fall into it anyways. Initial Alpha can be avoided by Mirio if you're even slightly off timing, so if he's the only one pulled, you might as well just do a Beta string. This is the highest damage base-kit combo at AFO's disposal.

Pull > Beta 5 > Air Melee:
Good way to activate Melee tunings easily, that's it.

Pull > Air Melee > Alpha×2:
Slightly more scuffed version of the above combo, less reliable for a bit more damage. Activates Melee TUNING immediately rather than at the end of the combo (Making Embrittlement effective with it), opponents may be able to escape before the 2nd Alpha lands if their kit has the capabilities.

Push Startup Combos:
These can be hard to do consistently due to how wild AFO's Push can throw people, but it's free damage nonetheless.

Push > Alpha:
Most consistent option. Simply shoot whoever you knocked back with an Alpha before they land on the ground and get their I-frames. Learning the timing and placement of the Alpha can take a bit but getting one in whenever you Push really adds damage over time. Possible to get 2 or 3 shots if they're falling for long enough.

Push > [Any Beta string]:
Very inconsistent from my experience. Requires a wall right behind your opponent so you're close enough to hit Beta, but even then, it only hits half the time.

Push > [Any Melee string]
As expected, you have to have a wall right behind them, and be right next to the person to do this. As a result, it very, very rarely comes up as an option.

Beta Startup:
This is really where the damage comes from, most initial hits on people are gonna be from Beta, so learning how to combo off it is important.

Beta 5 > Alpha:
Simplest and most consistent combo in AFO's kit, should always be done over just holding Beta. As mentioned in the Beta section above, there is almost no circumstance where it's better to hold a full Beta over ending it with something else.

Beta 5 > Charged Alpha:
This is a case by case basis on whether or not it should be performed. If your opponent is off the ground, then this is pretty much confirmed on every character (bar Mirio), and is relatively easy to pull off. If your opponent is not off the ground, it's a bit riskier. Most people will roll as soon as they can, so it can be better to hold the Alpha a bit longer and just catch their roll with it. At high levels this does do more than enough damage for a guard break, so the pay off is often worth the attempt.

Beta 3 > Melee:
Slightly less damage than Beta into Alpha. Similar function to the Air Melee combos with activating Melee TUNING, but can be dangerous if done out in the open as it takes longer to perform and requires a closer proximity to the opponent. If they get hit at the very tip of Beta, the timing is tighter to run up and land a Melee, so try to remember how long the stun lasts.

[burnt ridge]

What was the shiggys thought process

[turbid bone]

Is the number next to the beta referring to its level or the number of hits

[ashen fulcrum]

Number of hits

So 'Beta 3' would mean landing 3 ticks of the attack

[turbid bone]

Ah thanks

I appreciate it man

[jade quartz]

Yknow whats really cool

i believe you can get overdrive with AFO

the only time it goes a gear up with AFO is when you hit the final melee hit

so mroe often then not

if you don't die

"OVERDRIVE!!!!!"

Yup its true

You can get overdrive as AFO

[undone grotto]

...I could tell you that earlier ngl

I still wanna see suppjire wiggle again though

[rough abyss]

Mmm yes. Beta on wakeup

[rough abyss]

If only there was a rare voiceline where he yells overdrive

[burnt ridge]

Yes but it's incredibly unrealistic

You'd have to melee like 5 times

[jade quartz]

Unrealistic? buddy if you land 4 final melee htis its joever for them

[burnt ridge]

No

Like

[undone grotto]

Does it stay after you switch quirks?

[burnt ridge]

5 melee loops

You have to hit the combo 5 times

[jade quartz]

no it automatically puts you at 1st gear

[burnt ridge]

Unless it's different now

[jade quartz]

lemme record a video for you

[undone grotto]

Cookk

[jade quartz]

Nvm

it puts you at 2nd gear

and then you land 3 final melee hits

[burnt ridge]

But it's still the full melee loop right

[undone grotto]

I remember it was counting each toga melee tho

Either way that was accurate transform

Idk what monoma gets then huh

[jade quartz]

Nope only the final hit

[turbid bone]

Monoma’s only the last hit too

[undone grotto]

Alr, toga supremacy i gueeess in this tiny question

[west mica]

Why tf do my game always crash, it always happens when I play tech AFO

[ocean talon]

Strike AFO is broken in code... His SA sometimes can directly close the game in switch sometimes. Even if is an enemy who used it ;-;

[west mica]

that suck

[ocean talon]

It does

[tender barn]

Strike AFO is a genuinely sad character

He literally breaks the game, and even when he does work he's so buns. All he can do is skycamp and play lame

Yet, the more I play him the more I'm like "damn, this character might be okay if he had TechAFO's alpha"

"and not a 5-round alpha that does 100 damage across 5 hits that need to all land and KDS after 10 hits total"

[undone grotto]

... :( that makes it sound like supphaul is better 😔

[tender barn]

Except he is

[undone grotto]

i get to land 2 gammas / 2 alphas / 2,5 betas and ppl are KD, but gamma > beta> alpha in terms of dmg compared to that

[tender barn]

SuppHaul is more disruptive, hits harder, and has healing going for him

[undone grotto]

:(((
guess im glad i dodged the bullet w his banner. i did want the compress skin for some reason and him too but like 10 tickets did notin

[tender barn]

StrikeAFO's biggest problem is that his alpha just sucks, which actually makes him kinda useless if he isn't getting cheeky gammas

[undone grotto]

guess hed be just another kurogiri in my hands, and he's not got kurogiri revives nor a support skin

[tender barn]

If his alpha wasn't cheeks his kit would actually be fine imo

[undone grotto]

ngl his storm skill is p cool

[tender barn]

Like, legitimately if he had TechAFO alpha all would be well

[undone grotto]

also i wanted to ask, is tafo alpha the thing he used to almost kill Best Jeanist?

in kamino incident

[tender barn]

yeah, and the charge alpha is the move he used to almost kill all the other heroes in Kamino during his introduction

[undone grotto]

shiiiiii

[tender barn]

But Best Jeanist saved them all in the last second

[undone grotto]

i love that

bros were on 100 hp then 😭

[tender barn]

His intro was soo good

Like right away you knew that he was so far beyond anything any other hero had to ever deal with

Even past his prime

[undone grotto]

ngl the fight where we lost Oboro wasn't too far ngl

Bros were fighting a some crazy quirk man, iirc a nomu prolly

Also some crazy fight ngl

[tender barn]

but anyway, that's past the point

TechAFO's alpha is actually really good, yet really simple

[undone grotto]

Yeah I wanted to k what his abilities are from anime wise

[tender barn]

Even w/o the charge alpha

[undone grotto]

I wonder what gamma is

[tender barn]

sludge warp

It's the quirk he and Geraki uses to warp his allies to or away from himself

but Kurogiri's quirk is far more precise

He first used it to save Shigaraki and The League of Villains from the heroes' ambush

He also used it during his fight with All Might to make him accidentally hit Gran Torino

[undone grotto]

Oh
Ngl it didn't click for me

It looks like air explosion too

[rough abyss]

Would've been cool to see the mouth quirk in this game

[tender barn]

The Demon Lord does not concern himself with the storm changes...

[spare crystal]

I think it would’ve been a really cool beta

[tender barn]

You Can't Run.

More Mirio AFO stuff

[jade quartz]

Had a moment like this as well, where i normal Alpahed a YAfo as he flyed ovff sucessfully but it reached

[brave brook]

https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/mDy988l9pZJEuondV?invite=cr-MSxIU0EsOTM3NzgwODg&v=16

I crashed this game cuz I got tech mirio quirk and tried swapping to it

they need to fix afo bugs, genuinely breaking the game

[tender barn]

There's another bug people arent talking about

[rough abyss]

What's with the stuttering? 😭

[tender barn]

It's not stuttering for me 🤷‍♂️

Try downloading it? idk

[tender barn]

Anyway there's 1 other bug: sometimes when you gamma pull, the opponent is invincible

So you can't combo them

[brave brook]

I've experienced that at least 5-10 times, I chalked it up to lag...dawg.

[tender barn]

nope, it's just bugged

Cuz why not?

[somber parrot]

i'm guessing it will be here with the yafo skillset

[brave brook]

he really doesn't need one, if he gets one I'd be genuinely shocked

[ashen fulcrum]

I have noticed this

My Charged Alpha is randomly not connecting and I didn't know if that was just a me thing or common bug

[tight jasper]

Tragic

[astral flax]

i just got his strike do y'all have tips on how to use him

[unkempt sage]

His beta is the most nasty part of his kit make sure to utilize that whenever you can

And note specifically gamma + Alpha makes it go further use that mostly to move around. He uses CD resets alot

[tight jasper]

fought a hawks who had inf health, somehow.

love this game, ngl.

[somber parrot]

Thoughts on this🤔

[astral flax]

alpha one is valid tbf

[burnt ridge]

I don't agree with the gamma changes

I think the gamma should still be the strongest and most hit move you would use on afo

And buffing the alpha seems really unnecessary since you can reach about 150 damage with the right tuning

[somber parrot]

I was thinking of the same thing for alpha maybe buff it to 120 or 115 if you hit all, and gamma is an easy move to dodge but does big damage and I didn't want to just give him a ton of buffs with no nerfs to it!

[tender barn]

no it's absolutely necessary

150 damage across 5 hits you might not even hit

And it consumes a LOT

[burnt ridge]

Still doing 60-90 damage per an alpha string

[tender barn]

Rn alpha is one of the main reasons why strike afo just isnt good

It's comically weak, costs way too much, and kds too easily

Problems Tech AFO (and many other characters with a projectile alpha) simply doesn't have

I guarantee you slapping TechAFO on StrikeAFO's kit would actually make StrikeAFO decent

[burnt ridge]

His beta is the main issue

[tender barn]

In what way?

[burnt ridge]

It's so inconsistent and it can knock them out of combos

[tender barn]

I can say that for just about every single one of his skills

All of his skills are inconsistent and/or have too much downpower

[burnt ridge]

Well if you have aim the gamma is mostly fine

Same with the alpha

[tender barn]

I don't think people falling out of the gamma mid-way through constitutes as "fine"

Especially when you have strike bakugo's sucking you in like a black hole

[burnt ridge]

They had high knockdown value

[south rune]

ngl strike afo alpha is some buns

its like an objectively worse ofa deku alpha or cluster bakugo aimed in alpha

only thing saving it is the factor fusion

[ashen fulcrum]

It's the main thing holding him back

That and his bugs of course

[south rune]

Yeah it has too little ammo for how much damage it does and how much you have to use it for other things like mobility with the gamma

[somber parrot]

It's also makes you very vulnerable and slow, and it's hard to get a consistent 70+ dmg against a moving target

[south rune]

yeah thats my only gripe with it

if it had a higher ammo count to compensate i think hed be fine

[ashen fulcrum]

5 shots at all levels is a really weird choice for a multi projectile attack

[south rune]

Especially one that shares resources to make another move viable for mobility

He should damn near get double his current ammo but I don’t want him to air stall any longer than he already can lol

[shut socket]

Game state so Ahhh got me posting AJ combos

[turbid bone]

What’s the best tuning build for strik AFO? I finally pitied for him

Actually the fixer build on beta heat seems pretty good

This gacha system sucks man

How do I play this character lmao

[rapid cloud]

There's an issue with the character's spatial action, and sometimes when I switch characters, it doesn't switch. This problem has been happening for a long time. Will it be fixed in the next update?

[burnt ridge]

All for one never hit this 😭

[burnt ridge]

Alpha or gamma fixer build

[turbid bone]

Pretty sure it was mostly alpha

Yeah I probably should’ve opted for something else

[ashen fulcrum]

Alpha tuning isn't good for Strike AFO, his gamma Fixer outfit on β ver. (Fancy) is much better.

Though most Tech AFO builds work the same on Strike.

Main difference is swap Alpha tunings for Gamma.

[turbid bone]

Ah I see

It’s a good thing I have tuning to spare

[turbid bone]

What should I do for the other slot

[ashen fulcrum]

Kinda up to your playstyle, I'd always go with either Area Reduction or Extra Wind, but Ability Manifest, Willpower, and Kota Finder are solid too.

[main wadi]

Anyone else's game crash when switching quirks

[undone grotto]

Common in here ngl

[unkempt sage]

Welcome to the club. Season of his skill set no less it’s been fun.

I feel so bad fighting an AFO then they just have their soul ripped out randomly

[undone grotto]

Yup

I thought I outplayed them w supphaul, and then they drop no items 💔

[unkempt sage]

His life support ends mid fight

https://tenor.com/view/now-i'st-your-turn-all-for-one-afo-one-for-all-deku-gif-1198212620477626316

[undone grotto]

Nooo not my precious 😭

[turbid bone]

I had a glitch where switching quirks made me keep some of my original quirks alongside the stolen ones

[ember merlin]

hey guys , question whats general maxing order of afo

tech version

[blissful swan]

Really just depends on how you play

If you got good aim max alpha. If you dont max beta

Always to gamma last

Do*

[neon stone]

https://tenor.com/view/poppy-playtime-chapter-5-poppy-playtime-the-prototype-robot-crack-gif-17493297241426901266

[past cargo]

Gamma range is pretty important especially when playing building camp

So me personally it depends on the scenario I’m in

Like if it’s still early game and I alr have b9 I do g4 a9

But if it’s closing in on late game I just go g9

[tender barn]

Honestly

With Fixer Tech AFO, I'm lowkey starting to value alpha damage over gamma size

That and the fact that leveling up your alpha doesn't just increase the damage

It also increases the # of rounds you get and how big the projectile is

That can make a huge difference in winning skirmishes

I've gotten enough kills in situations that would have otherwise resulted in them getting away because my alpha did just enough damage to secure the kill

[ashen fulcrum]

Beta 4 is almost necessary for AFO to function properly as a character

Other than that it's generally up to player preference

It changes depending on map, level scarcity, and my build but normally I do [Beta 4 > Alpha 4 > Beta 9 > Gamma 4 > Alpha 9]

[brave brook]

they didn't fix a single of the MANY afo bugs in the patch, my disappointment is immeasurable

[pale axle]

When are they going to fix this bug

[turbid bone]

I did gamma my memory is jus terrible

[tender barn]

Something me and my friend noticed while labbing Strike AFO

Leveling Beta to 4 and 9 increases the # of lightning bolts spawned

At 1-3, 7 are spawned

4-8, 8 bolts

lv9, 9 bolts

[scenic onyx]

Yes lol

[tender barn]

really wish the game communicated that

[hearty crystal]

did they happen to fix afo crashing games?

only played 1 match of strike today so I couldn't really give it a test run at all

[ocean talon]

No

[hearty crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/jujutsu-kaisen-jujutsu-kaisen-season-3-higuruma-hiromi-higuruma-jjk-gif-5830989494231778617

I literally crashed an hour ago.

[hearty crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-spider-man-web-of-shadows-depressed-sad-gif-16524395

[unkempt sage]

And I just crashed AGAIN

[zealous igloo]

Happens to everyone

[ashen fulcrum]

End of season stats with 90% of my playtime on Tech AFO

[strange hazel]

god strike afo with froppy quirkset is so stupid

especially when you got the new fixer build

easiest guard break combo in the game into a 300 dmg gamma after they wake up

[undone grotto]

Rip

[undone grotto]

Hey um, since I've got a lotta more keys thanks to premium weeklies, like 400 rn, i can unlock something rn, and given i do needa play tafo for season quests...
twisted fortune eleven angle??? unexpectedly good one probably? i already play as support role every time, so... 👀 maybe i can do that?

[strange hazel]

not rip for me, I was the one using it

[strange hazel]

don't know much about good afo builds but why would you ever do twisted fortune on afo

I mean I guess if you're building camping with tech afo its good?

but thats the only scenario I can see it

[brave brook]

ehh, idk about that one. As AFO, you're the area control of your team, a real vital role. He doesn't really have much time to be camping in the backline and popping team heals over and over. You'd genuinely get more value from fighting, he's a very powerful character in the right hands, playing him like that would just be a waste.

[ashen fulcrum]

Not really

Area Reduction is incredibly strong on him because he's a versatile character and can be played supportive if need be

Twisted is also just good on almost any character

Team heals are broken

[brave brook]

I don't have a supporting build on him tbh, probably cuz I only play aggressive, on every character. Also cuz I just don't have the mats to spare right now, need keys and rainbow cards for the new season releases, if they interest me

[undone grotto]

Tbf just because thats my playstyle baseline, collecting teamheals on my way
Im trash bad at him, but maybe just bc ppl target me, not sure
And that's potentially the best dmg upping option i have there with only one pur skin for him

[undone grotto]

Idrk the value of rev support ig too

[brave brook]

Unfortunately anybody with a brain will target you when you’re on this character, especially early game, when you’re weak. He’s too much of a problem late game to be left alive, you’re guaranteed to get guardbroken if you get gamma’d, heck, you might even die depending on what they have

[undone grotto]

Fair, I do that too lowkey

[tulip jewel]

What are some good builds for strike afo? Rn im running revenge sheild and regeneration

[tulip jewel]

Does acceleration make his attacks faster?

[spare crystal]

Do you play with fixer gamma boost or alpha???

[strange hazel]

fixer gamma boost

[split linden]

They say that afo insta quirk swap is a bug

But if monoma can do it

Why not afo

[zealous igloo]

Probably cuz he doesn’t get a penalty like Monoma

Monoma does less damage with copied movesets

[split linden]

Monima doesn't have to kill for it

And he can combine any 3 moves

[brave brook]

monoma gets punished with it draining a 4th of his special action, afo js gets put on like a 15-20 sec cd or something (haven't bothered to count how long exactly). I do agree monoma's broken as hell with that, especially being able to just keep whipping out his gamma, making him just get to hit you for free, it's really annoying

[strange hazel]

can someone tell me how to avoid getting my copied moveset onto my base moveset

just had that and it was annoying

Might be because I used my sa while my base kit beta was going off (strike afo) but idk

[split linden]

What

Me no understand

[strange hazel]

When I swap to quirkset I stole

I use quirkset

when I swap back

I still have stolen quirkset

my base quirkset is gone

except for the beta which I assume its cause I used while swapping

[split linden]

Afo just has bugs like that

Like I'll swap from default but none of my abilities change

[strange hazel]

yeah I know bro thats not what I asked tho

[split linden]

I guess try not swapping when actively using a move

[strange hazel]

I agree

I will test if thats the cause in a minute

[tulip jewel]

Does qfr work on special action?

[unkempt sage]

Any advice to survive?

[undone grotto]

Roll th outta there, use anti electrification tuning

[unkempt sage]

Denki loaned me about 16 bux a few months back about 3 months ago, and I still have paid him back. Last I tried to meet up with him he gave kiri electrification and almost TOD’d me, I don’t think he’s gonna help 😥

[undone grotto]

Sorry bro, also I damn suck at Afoing so... Really all you can do against good players is Pray

[undone grotto]

Ugh
Should I really get this though

[undone grotto]

Bro the crashes are constant bruuuuhhh

[ashen fulcrum]

There is no way to consistently avoid it

It just happens

[somber parrot]

Hypgen revenge support is great

[undone grotto]

Ain't it a fixer angle though

[somber parrot]

You could but he has better outfits and with his high hp it's what I see most use on that costume

[undone grotto]

Hmmmm alright
I dont have other costumes so i figured id go with the fixer angle

[undone grotto]

Alright

[ashen fulcrum]

This is the best fixer outfit available for Knight

It's still a good build even if Prison has the best version

But also Hyper Regen Revenge Support is pretty good

[undone grotto]

Ehhh can I somehow learn the minmax dmg values without practice?
Like, once I'll farm the Tech Denki data, I can either put it on lvl 3 but under Fixer lvl 10, or in a lvl4 slot if no Fixer, idrk how much that changes ngl, nothing else requires math ig, and blue villain lvl4 slot kinda sucks bc i have neither villains ngl

[ashen fulcrum]

Level 3 with Fixer is better than base level 4

[undone grotto]

Ok, heard you, but ngl gonna go ask that in tuning channel too, maybe smb has exact detailed info ngl
