* | *Arakune's only DP | ||
*Can move left and right while active | |||
Arakune morphs into a gargantuan tarantula before firing a massive laser above him, has both a body and a laser hitbox that must be blocked independently. "Spider Laser" is the Distortion you're going to see out of Arakune the most often as it's definitely his most widely useful. It's his only source of true reversal outside of Counter Assault and Burst, and it has a fairly impressive startup time for punishing those trying to smother you on wakeup or push their luck on blockstrings. It's also the only Distortion he has that's realistically capable of tacking on extra damage after a combo, and can be chained into itself if you have 100% meter. It's not uncommon to see rounds end in Curse > Laser > (OD) Laser to clinch. | |||
Pre-curse F-Inverse can lead to full curse in the corner (5D > j.D > 6D > j.C > j.D), and 83% curse midscreen (6D > j.D > 22B). But be careful. Since it's your only DP most opponents will be scouting for it, and if blocked without another 50% heat to Rapid Cancel they'll have all the time in the world to punish you with the most severe Fatal Counter combo they can perform. Funnily enough, since both the laser and the body portion of the attack are considered their own hitboxes and are active through the entirety of the move, you can end up surprising some people by scooping them right back into the super when they run in to punish. To avoid this, all they have to do is remember to block the body hit before attempting their real punish though. Don't count on it. | |||
The Overdrive version of F-Inverse has more hits, a wider laser hitbox, and allows movement left and right while firing at triple the speed. Try not to let the increased size and movement speed throw off your combo in the rare instances you OD super and still need to combo. | |||

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.
