Unique Ability: Homing Dash

An exclusive universal mechanic used by Arcana Heart, Heart can press j.C to homing dash towards the opponent. Hold a direction while doing it to influence the angle Heart starts dashing to throw off the opponent's anti-air tming. The back directions even giver her a bit of invincibility!

You can cancel almost any normal or special into Homing Dash for 1 meter by pressing C. The following hit after the cancel will have P2 set to 100.

Actually a low hit, this catches everyone

5BB	1700	All	15	3	??+12L		H
5BBB	2000	Low	12	3	20	-4	F

First hit can be charged up for extra distance.

The charged version is a pretty nasty attack, as it leads to devastating follow-ups if it connected. Even on block, it's a menace to someone who mashes. You can cancel it to delayed 2[B] for a punish read, or 236A to be safe.

Values in [] refer to charged version
On charged hit, opponent experiences an additional 5/10 hitstop on hit/counterhit
Fully charged travels about half-screen
Gains Clash properties while charging, nullifying any head/body attacks but being vulnerable to lows. Being hit by a projectile shoots out a Roz Toxo.
10~Active HBP Clash
Fully charged splats enemy upon wall hit.

5BB can be cancelled into 2B on hit for an air combo
Can homing cancel
Cancels into air specials.

5BBB knocks down on hit.
Will cause some characters DP to whiff. Vatista, Jin, and Mitsuru for example.
Looks kinda cute.

Much like her 5A, suffers from lack of range, but sometimes you have to make do with what you have. Life isn't always easy.

Hits low. How about that.

No head invul but can be charged for HBP clash.
Full charged 2B cannot be jump canceled but can be homing canceled.
On charged hit, opponent experiences an additional 5 hitstop on hit, 10 on counterhit
Charged version 7~Active HBP Clash (3F faster than 5B), projectile clashes create Roz Toxos.

2C

1700	Low	13	3	24	-8	F

A longer-reaching low than her 2A, but obviously less safe

Cancelling into 214A makes it safe-ish.

j.C

We now have FRCs

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln

The staple mechanic from Arcana Heart. Fly towards the opponent somewhat slowly. Neutral homing flies straight at the opponent, directional homing flies briefly in the chosen direction before homing in on the opponent.

Back homing (j.1/4/7C) has invulnerability on frame 1-20 until they begin moving forward
You can cancel normals or specials into this for 1 meter
Cancel version causes non-projectile attacks done during homing or homing landing to have 100 P2
You can use air normals, specials or DP to cancel the flight
Flight can be "steered" up/down/left/right while you approach. Steering down can allow you to land early, and steering up gives you a higher approach angle.

Level	P1	P2

Costs 1 skill gauge if done as a cancel
Cancel version causes non-projectile attacks done during homing or homing landing to have 100 P2
j.1/4/7C have 1-20F Inv All

Homing Cancel/Arcana Homing

Certain Moves -> C

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln

Homing can be performed in the four cardinal directions, and can be steered while flying
Can be used for mixup. Neutral homing canceling a ground move will put you in the air at a very low height for a fast overhead while forward homing cancel will keep you on the ground for a quick low.
Steering down can allow you to land early, and steering up will give you a higher approach angle.
Cancel version causes non-projectile attacks done during homing or homing landing to have 100 P2
The following moves can be Homing Cancelled:
- 5BB
- 2B (Charged only)
- JA Smart Combo
- JB Smart Combo
- 236+A/B/C
- 214+A/B/C
- j.236+A/B/C
- j.214+A/B/C
You cannot block while in EX homing state.
