For reference, a raw Agidyne deals roughly 4.5k dmg on lv.0, and 9.7k on lv.9. See her frame data for exact values. Clash Assault, Cross Raid and the partner version of Agidyne are not affected by fire boost level. Fire boost level CANNOT be reduced, it'll only reset once the match ends. | ||

Since Sakuya tracks to the enemy's position, she will immediately strike with a rising attack when it is within vicinity; otherwise she will go a set distance away from Yukiko and then strike. Great for delayable pressure. Once Sakuya is out, she is given a small time frame for some options to use before she returns to Yukiko or gets hit: 236A/B (for a closer placed Agi), another 5A (to cover more distance and/or attack from afar, can only be done again if Sakuya is close enough to Yukiko) 236BC Agidyne (to punish counterattacks). Heavily emphasized to use this button wisely, as Yukiko cannot move ''the whole time'' this move is thrown out. | ||

Yukiko Amagi |
---|
|
Overview
"I'm not as gentle as I look..."
Backstory
A third-year Yasogami high school student and member of the "Investigation Team," Yukiko is the sole heiress and upcoming manager at her family's historical and famous inn, the Amagi Inn. A very polite and reserved girl, her friends know her best as offbeat, goofy and adorable. At school, her beauty, intelligence and personality earned her the adoration of girls and guys alike, and she is known as the "Amagi Challenge" because she has turned down so many guys left and right at her school (including Yosuke). She gained her Persona, Konohana-Sakuya after facing her true inner self, and helped her friends solved the wild mysteries that plagued Inaba for many years, all the while finding her true self and staying true to it.
Playstyle
Yukiko is a zoning character with very polarized strengths and weaknesses. Her damage increases dramatically when she stocks up her fire levels all the way up to 9 and her unique toolset can open up many options for her partner. To best make use of her, a Yukiko player must be proficient at playing neutral and mitigating risks when pressuring the opponent while micromanaging health, meter, partner bar, and fire level to win out in the long run.

|
|
Persona: Konohana-Sakuya
Flame Boost
Yukiko's unique gauge, Fire, amplifies the damage of her fire-based attacks (such as Maragi, Agidyne, her A autocombo enders, or some of her assists). You gain 1 stack from using 22A or (when tagged out) 6P and 2 stacks from 22B and 22C, up to a maximum of 9, each use of a move that increases fire level will turn 500hp into red health. For reference, a raw Agidyne deals roughly 4.5k dmg on lv.0, and 9.7k on lv.9. See her frame data for exact values. Clash Assault, Cross Raid and the partner version of Agidyne are not affected by fire boost level. Fire boost level CANNOT be reduced, it'll only reset once the match ends.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yukiko's Clash Assault. Safe on block. Moves Yukiko slightly forward, so it is able to reach unsuspecting crouching opponents. Yukiko can use special attacks such as Agi and Maragi to hide the flash startup. She may also cancel into this from a quick 2B/6B fan toss. |
2A
2A |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low poke. Faster startup than 4A, but lacks range. Great for tick pressuring, and is able to cancel into 5A on block to push the enemy away. |
2B, 1B and 3B
2B, 1B and 3B |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Anti-air. Can be used to stop the enemy's momentum mid-air, and hits standing characters with tall hitboxes. Puts Yukiko in a bad position if whiffed (and some cases can be raw super punished too), so be sure to use this with good judgment. Normal/special/super/jump cancelable on block or hit. Can be used to whiff incoming down attacks. In 2.0, yukiko will now throw 2 fans with 2B, instead of just one. |
2C
2C | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sweep. Can be used as a poking tool since it has decent range, and since it hits low, opens up high/low unblockable potential. Special/super cancelable, and often acts as a combo ender. That being said, a great combo starter for Yukiko is 2C>236C, as it often deals a lot of damage afterwards. |
j.A
j.A |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
One of Yukiko's best moves with fast startup and recovery, an overhead, nice range, and ability to rapid chain whiff itself thrice. Excellent move to consider in not only neutral, but jump-ins, cross-ups, mix-ups, blockstrings, pressure. Also one of Yukiko's Smart Combos that allows you to safely knockdown with j.5C. |
j.B, j.4B and j.6B
j.B, j.4B and j.6B |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aerial fan toss. Recovers a bit before landing, so watch your position. Naturally dodges grounded attack while still giving Yukiko momentum, and she can IAD forward/backward to toss another consecutive fan, among other aerial options provided to her. She can assist-confirm off of a hit if she's too high in the air to confirm off of it herself. Special cancelable on block or hit. |
j.C
j.C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yukiko's aerial knockdown tool. Has nice cross-up potential, and Yukiko can infinitely use this in one jump setting, but like 5A, Yukiko cannot move at all throughout this move, so use it wisely. |
Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
Ground Throw 5B+C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yukiko slaps the hell out of the opponent and puts them in crumple state, allowing her to follow-up. 4A whiffs on certain characters, but 5A and 214B can also work and be followed up from. Can do T>22A/22C>4A easily. |
Dia
Dia 5A+D (Chargeable) |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yukiko's DP. Very unsafe if blocked. It nullifies all projectile attacks and briefly physical attacks (startup only) before knocking the opponent back and granting Yukiko substantial healing time. Dia itself does find use as a tool that can rewards Yukiko after a knockdown, if her opponent is far away, or if they're unable to close in on her right away. Can also be used offensively as a combo ender, disrupt Cross Bursts, and even denies DHCs (UNLESS the DHC is not a projectile, in which case Yukiko WILL be punished). Depending on the right partner (i.e. Waldstein, Hyde), Yukiko can nearly fully heal herself during a match! When covered by an assist, particularly projectiles, Yukiko can safely tap Dia. The further she is from the opponent and the more cautious the opponent is can determine how long she can reasonably hold for. Utilizing Reject Guard in combination with an immediate assist call can be a decent way to find room to use Dia. Dia's projectile invulnerability allows Yukiko to be something of an anti-zoning zoner, as she can avoid any (and every) projectile while healing at the same time. Take care when using this, as Yukiko can get punished while she's recovering. A simple tap leaves little room for worry, but if held down for too long and the opponent recovers fast enough, Yukiko is left wide open. Make sure you're on the same footing as your opponent when considering this move, if not faster yourself. Finally, because Yukiko levitates during the state, she cannot be thrown or command grabbed out of it. |

EX Fire Boost
Fire Flame Boost 22C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Shields herself from projectiles while gaining 2 levels. She gains control right away after the move ends, so it can avoid projectile moves with a long duration (i.e. Yu's 236BC, Nu's 236BC). Takes 500 recoverable life like the rest of fire boosts while also getting 2 fire stocks. A useful move to consider in neutral. She can also freely assist punish after catching enemy projectiles. She can loop off of it on hard knockdowns (IE: 4AAA>22C>4A, 5AA>22C>2A) |

On Active Switch or Cross Combo activation, the projectile vanishes. Should it be blocked midair, it leaves them open to an air unblockable setup. If they stand block it, they're wide open for lows. If they crouch-whiff it, they can be opened up by instant overheads. Offensively and defensively speaking, this is a great assist in Yukiko's arsenal for many, many reasons. HOWEVER, beware of characters with good low profiling normals and anti airs, as well as DPs that recover crouching (usually after landing). |

Yukiko heals herself and her partner. Unlike when she's on point. On hitconfirm you may throw this out during a solo combo if you need Yukiko (or yourself) to recover some health back mid-match. You can also punish Cross Bursts by active switching to her once she's out. If not defended, far behind her partner or on the other side of the opponent, Yukiko is extremely vulnerable, especially because she stays out for a fairly long amount of time. As a result, you can use this to manipulate and bait your opponent into attacking so that you can cancel in Cross Combo or outright punish them yourself. Because it offers full projectile invulnerability once active, it is a nice tool to use against zoners or projectile-heavy attacks, as there is very little the opponent can do to interrupt her. That being said, she can be hit out of startup or recovery. |

Yukiko calls forth her Persona, who violently enraptures the enemy in a fiery twirl, ending with a massive fireball. Once out, Sakuya spins for a brief duration, and cannot be moved. Offering Yukiko startup invul. so she can whiff enemy attacks, the screen also completely freezes on startup, allowing her to swiftly punish things on reaction, including quick 5A/2A jabs. Damages scales slightly if used in a combo, and on a raw hit it deals massive damage (especially on Lv.9). Excellent at catching Cross Bursts, moves with long reach and moves in recovery state, regardless of duration. Becomes increasingly threatening with each fire level stocked; on a raw hit, Lv.0 does 4.5k dmg, while Lv.9 does around 10k alone! Offers a ridiculous amount of chip damage during Resonance Blaze, but leaves Yukiko wide open, so be mindful of the distance between you and the enemy and see to it they don't have a means to punish from said distance. It is recommended that a Yukiko player spends time learning every other characters' blockstring consistently and thoroughly, so that they'll have a better awareness of when to use this move; Agidyne can be a highly rewarding, yet highly risky move (outside of comboing, of course). Depending on the partner, an early DHC will allow the partner (examples are Weiss, Nine, Aegis etc.) to follow-up while Agidyne is still in motion. An interesting thing to note is that Agidyne completely beats Tager's 5B in every regard, even if he holds it to max length. |
Maragidyne

---|---|---|---|---|---|
This move is invincible on startup and pushes the opponent far away even on block (for the uncharged version). It does a lot of chip damage at high fire boost levels and in resonance blaze: about half of most characters' life bars with level 9 fireboost and resonance level 4. Resonance Blaze also gives Yukiko the 6 bars she needs in order to combo uncharged Maragidyne into charged Maragidyne into Agidyne. If you have a low fireboost level, you can make the opponent block the uncharged version of Maragidyne and fireboost a few times while the opponent is stuck in blockstun from the flames. BEWARE: The opponent may sometimes pushblock the charged version and break free from the blockstring |

Yukiko's DHC allows her to follow-up with both of Vatista's supers, Ruby's 214BC, Yu's 236BC, Nine's 236BC, Noel's air 236BC, Rachel's 214BC, Linne's 236BC, to give just some of the examples. |

Yukiko summons Sakuya one last time, as her Persona transforms into endless cherry blossoms that swarm and eviscerate the opponent while Yukiko dances through it all, ending with a beautiful pose. The screen freeze when Yukiko makes a pose, so it can catch mindless opponents pressing buttons. Sakuya's lunge does some significant pushback, so it can be awkward to punish, but it bears mentioning that it is naturally unsafe on block, so, like always, astral wisely. Can be canceled from Agi and Maragi, and Sakuya confirms all the way from nearly fullscreen. |
