How can Sol use 5D (Standing Dust)?

Recommended Posts

This has always been a problem for me, more for Sol than Order Sol, since he has better mixup options (i.e. LV3 BHB into 5D). I've wanted to learn how to "trick" people into a Dust combo for a while now with him, but I haven't quite got the knack for it. Obviously you use Dust to break turtling or when people are trying to avoid overhead projectiles, but Sol doesn't have any of that. What kind of tricks can Sol use to start Dust Combos, even if they aren't entirely part of his game?

There's no secret at all. You make them scared with 2+K, 2+HS, GVCH > full combo and command throw into SW combos. Then you do random 5D here and there in between strings. With characters that can punish your ass hard when you miss (or even if you TRY) like Slayer, Potemkin, Johnny... it's better to not use it at all (rely on your 50/50 game with low-throw.
