BBTag/Celica A. Mercury

Overview

Celica A. Mercury Celica A. Mercury

Pros

Cons

Has easy crossups in her B Autocombo.
Good solo damage regardless of enhanced state
Very strong grounded midrange pokes
Very good at stopping assists
Minerva A normals are not affected by counters
DP cannot be safejumped

B Autocombo isn't safe on block. 5BBB is not a true blockstring either, meaning she can be punished inbetween hits.
Her 4P is extremely niche and can't be used on many teams
Chip damage takes her out of enhanced state instantly denying her the ability to play at max capability often
Very weak in the air

When Celica has no red health, her specials do more damage and hitstun. Celica can also recover red health by herself by either finishing her 5B auto combo, or using her EX healing move. These moves can even heal Celica when she has no red health!

4A

The most adorable move in Blazblue.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1000	All	6	3 [(3)3]	11	-2	B

Not as useful as it was in CF due to not being able to microdash with it in stagger pressure. Although it is still useful as a short range mash button since it is 6 frames

5AAA	1700	All	16	3	27	-11	B
5AAAA	650×5	All	20	1,1,1,1,1	56	-36	B

5A - Her best normal arguably, being 8 frames and hitting really far lets her control the midrange well and can convert into combos at almost all ranges, she also goes notably farther than other characters when inputting 6A. The downside is that this comes with an enormous hurtbox allowing to the opponent to counterpoke her very easily

5AA - Combo fodder mostly, good for stabilizing routes since it brings airborne enemies down to the ground and bounces them

5AAA - extremely rare to be used not much use since 5B exists

5BBB	2000	All	13	4	35	-17	B

5B- Celica's anti air, it has a very large hitbox hitting in front, above and behind her. It has extremely late head invulnerability so anti air attempts need to be done earlier than most and much like 5A comes with a nasty hurtbox that can get counterpoked. This is her main way of going into her B autocombo outside of combos since it is whiff cancelable

5BB- Auto crossup at close range and projectile invincible it is pretty much the only followup used on whiff during her B autocombo, there is however no way to go into this move gaplessly without having an assist ready to cover her

5BBB - Auto combo ender, on hit it will always transition Celica into a healing animation if it is not special canceled, used in combos mainly to start 214A loops

j.A- Generally weak Air to Air normal. It suffers the same hurtbox extension problems as 5A and 5B and is slower than the average air to air normal, she will lose air trades often because of these reasons

j.AA - combo filler since it is locked behind an air autocombo

A very niche use assists that doesn't come into play much outside of her best teams, Unlike Yukiko's the point will get healed no matter how far away they are from Celica but in so will make the assist not last as long. It is mainly seen when Celica's partner has an unburstable move that they can go into easily while also being able set up Cross Combo after the assist is done

A solid Super which can corner steal regardless if it connects on hit or block. However, due to how long it leaves Celica vulnerable, it is usually best used with an assist to lock the opponent in place if Celica is cornered and taking tons of pressure or as her combo ender if you have meter. Depending on when you DHC from this, you can either keep the opponent in the corner, or steal the corner.
