* | *Lasts until curse ends or Arakune is hit | ||
* | *Reduces all horizontal movement once attached | ||
The slow cloud. Can only be summoned in curse. Slowly homes in on the opponent before attaching to their character on contact. Once attached all horizontal movement from the opponent is reduced to roughly 1/3rd of normal horizontal distance and travel speed. You can still jump and use any vertical components of special movements normally while slowed (such as Mai's 214 command backjump or Rachel's Wind), but any horizontal movement in such a move will be fully affected. | |||
Horizontal movement includes things like runs, walks, air dashes, Jin's Ice Car, Bullet's Drive attacks, Mai's 236 command dash, Nu's Act Parser, Izayoi's B and C version Mirage Thruster, and even teleport dashes such as Azrael's and Arakune's himself. It mostly does not affect moves that teleport with a set position in mind rather than a direction of travel, such as Bang's four seal Distortion Drive, Izayoi's D version Mirage Thruster teleport, or Arakune's screen wrap. (With the somewhat odd exception of Kokonoe's Graviton teleport, which barely moves her at all when slowed) | |||
It is in your best interest as Arakune to end every combo leading up to curse with slow cloud so it becomes impossible for them to run from your incoming mixups, forcing them to challenge your blockstrings directly (very dangerous). It also makes rolling on knockdown as unsafe as quick teching for the opponent, as they won't roll far enough to actually escape from bugs, guaranteeing you can focus on committing to a mixup versus a neutral tech. If for any reason the opponent becomes cursed where you cannot immediately spit a slow cloud onto them, this is generally still the first thing you want to do to ensure the time spent chasing them down is minimized. | |||

Overview
A Sector Seven scientist turned blob after insane exposure to the Boundary. Now with thousands of insects inside of him, he haunts the city of Kagutsuchi in search of the Azure. In terms of gameplay, Arakune is a very awkward character with awkward attacks, awkward movement, and an awkward playstyle. The main goal is to put your opponent in a "Cursed" State and deal big damage along with extremely safe block strings, cross-ups, mix-ups and even an unblocklable here and there. This is the offset to a very weak character without curse with lackluster pressure and mix-up, and mediocre and predictable defensive options.
Drive: Crimson
Crimson is the system that calculates curse meter: how much is needed to curse an opponent, what attacks inflict how much curse meter (more details on this below), and how long curse lasts. During curse, Arakune can summon a variety of bugs that help his pressure, combo ability, and damage. Curse lasts for roughly 10 seconds. Each bug has a cooldown before it can be summoned again (more details on this below) and Arakune cannot summon bugs when he is taking damage or in blockstun (but he can summon bugs in the few frames that he is not in blockstun in usual blockstrings). Once the curse gauge depletes any further attempts to rebuild curse meter will be prevented until all summoned bugs are off-screen and any ongoing combos have concluded.
Overdrive: Crimson Depths
Upon activation the opponent will be cursed immediately with any existing curse meter, starting the curse gauge's depletion. While overdrive is active the curse gauge depletes at half the usual rate, extending the time the opponent spends cursed. Arakune's Distortion Drives will also apply more hits and do more damage. Outside of curse all Drive moves add 50% curse on hit, and on block, add the amount of curse meter they would normally add on a non-Overdrive hit (25% or 33%). Additionally, Zero Vector's curse clouds each build curse at double the normal rate.
Pros/Strengths
- Very mobile in the air, with good use of his air dashes.
- High damage, pressure, keep away,and oki during curse.
- Good pokes with safe jump cancels.
Cons/Weaknesses
- Below-average health.
- Limited movement options on the ground.
- Lack of meterless defensive options.
- Low combo damage without curse.
- Lack of reliable oki without curse.

Drive Moves
Arakune is one of the characters who rely heavily on their Drive effects. Arakune's play is set into two different phases, pre-Curse and Curse. During pre-Curse, the goal is to curse the opponent, so it is essential to include or end your combos with a D attack (or a special attack that can serve as an equivalent) to gain curse meter. The curse gauge is set at 0 at the start of every round and has a maximum capacity of 60000.

Curse Bugs
Once the curse gauge reaches 100%, it's time to summon bugs, these bugs change the entire scope of Arakune's combo potential, creating a variety of options off of the simplest hits. Although powerful, not invincible, All bugs vanish if Arakune takes a hit, and there is a cool down between summoning of the same bug. The fun stops when the Curse gauge depletes. The 60000 points of curse goes down at a rate of 30 per frame, which amount to a little less than 33 seconds without summoning bugs. Do what you can during that time, with good execution, you'll be happy about the outcome.
Each bug is summoned by releasing it's corresponding button (A, B, C, D). Hold left or right to alter the bugs horizontal summoning position/trajectory. Keep in mind that bugs now use up curse meter, see below for specific amounts.
