Overview

Zeta is a character with many tools that cover a lot of situations, but lacks easy defensive options. She is focused around controlling the mid range by using her big normals and long range specials to keep the opponent at a safe distance where she can poke with f.M/2M and capitalize from their impatience and mistakes. But even though her ground game is very solid, she is one of the few characters who really benefits from air hits thanks to j.U, the Spear of Arvess special moves and her ability to use Skybound Art in the air for long and rewarding air combos. Zeta's close range options aren't lacking either with fast moves like cl.L/cl.M and the balance between speed and range of f.L/2L. Even at fullscreen she can fight against characters who are focused around zoning with Infinite Wonders and even play defensively thanks to it and her anti air 2H. Zeta's main weakness is her lack of reversal options because she has to rely on Rhapsody and her Skybound Art when trying to interrupt the opponent's pressure. All this combined makes Zeta a offensive character with versatile options that can deal with almost any situation by rewarding awareness and execution.

"Spear of Arvess! Show me your strength!"
Lore:This fearless fighter belongs to the Society, an organization which hunts primal beasts. She has formed a contract with the seal weapon known as the Spear of Arvess.

She and her partner Vaseraga are charged by the Society with a variety of missions. Though the two often butt heads, each has the other's complete trust. Perhaps it is the contrast between Zeta's upbeat but stubborn personality and Vaseraga's unshakable calm which makes them such good partners.

In addition to the fierce mid-range spear attacks which keep her enemies at a distance, Zeta also has a talent for lightning-quick aerial combat.

 Zeta  Zeta is an offensive-oriented mix between zoner and rushdown character who can attack from many ranges and angles.

Pros
Cons
  • Great juggle potential and damage in the corner, can loop into safejumps.
  • Great air mobility through Spear of Arvess. Can be difficult for the opponent to challenge Zeta's approach.
  • Good poking moves via her normals and Infinite Wonders.
  • Invincible air-SBA is a neat tool.
  • Has the best theme in the game. (debatable)
  • Mediocre reversals.
  • Very weak combo-game from midscreen.
  • Inconsistent neutral-game, as she is forced to cancel into spear to gain something from her long-ranged buttons

Zeta attacks with the back of her spear. Her fastest normal that allows you to start pressure by linking into other moves or hit confirming with the autocombo. Useful for tick throws and interrupting your opponent's pressure but outshined by 2L.

Knee to the face. Not used as a poke since it's pretty bad on block for being a cM. More or less only used in combos.

Used mainly for best damage combos, especially for DP- and SBA-punishes. Otherwise, can be used as a meaty-attack due to long active-frames. On CH AND crouching opponent it can be linked into f.H.

For combo-purposes you only want to do the first two hits in the corner since you can't combo into 236H from the last. Third hit is often needed if you want end a combo in 22M~2X, as it puts you closer to them. Besides that and for hit-confirming, you usually don't want to use the second and third hit in combos as they will tank your damage.

Zeta kicks in front of her, fast and with good range for a L normal but the hitbox is very high so it can be low profiled by some moves. It also whiffs on crouchers and small characters at a distance, so use it with caution when poking.

Zeta's main poke. f.M allows Zeta to control the mid range by poking the opponent and intercepting approach attempts thanks to the range it has. Can be easily avoided if used to much though because of how linear it is. Buffer this into 66H or 66L in case it hits.

Sadly outshined by other characters much better pokes, being as slow as it is.

Surprisingly not too bad in neutral. Slightly less range than f.M but faster and better priority. Combos into 66M at most ranges, so useful for punishing whiffed stuff. Buffer this into 66H or 66L in case it hits

Important low and combo starter. Links into c.M and has decent range, good on block. Also links into itself. Against standing opponents links into f.L, against crouching links into 2U, using two 2Ls let's one confirm this. Use this move for your main close-up pressure.

One of Zeta's main ways of controling space. 2M has a lot of range and even though it isn't a low it's very useful to keep them in check alongside f.M, with the advantage of being faster. Aimed at feet and also stops rolls and stop-dodge therefore. Buffer this into 66H or 66L in case it hits.

Zetas sweep. Hits twice, first hit has really poor range while the second has pretty good range. Sadly the gap between the hits is significant, making this possibly the worst sweep in the game. Most useful in combos in the corner for setting up safejumps. Is the preferred combo-ender in the corner as it gives her an easy safejump. Can also be canceled on first or second hit into SBA for easy damage addition.

This would be your go-to safejump move if j.U didn't exist. It's mostly useful for catching Lancelot out of teleports.

The crossup tool. This is the move you want to use in conjunction with j.U, as the upward boost from j.U pushes you further inside the opponent and makes a crossup even harder to see. CURSE THE BLOCK BUTTON.

Spear stabs, can be extended by mashing the button. Signo Drive's main purpose is to push the opponent into Zeta's optimal range by mashing it during a combo, it doesn't knockdown so you can f.M or 2M to catch the opponent trying to approach or mash after it.

If you can condition the opponent to throw, this is where her big damage starts. It can also be used as a meaty, as it has enough active frames to possibly combo into c.L.

Zeta's projectile. It's fairly slow and high-commitment, but it blasts through every other projectile in the game. On top of that, it's literally a beam so it hits fullscreen very quickly. You'll only be able to use it from 3/4ths of the screen away, but you can shut down any other character with it. As soon as you condition them not to use projectiles, then you can go in.

  • L version: the fastest version, in both startup and recovery.
  • M version: The move can be delayed by holding down the button. Knocks down and wallbounces on counterhit.
  • H version: Hits twice at close range and important juggle-starter in the corner as it causes a wall bounce.

Performs a rush attack that can be canceled into a follow-up attack while in motion. M goes farther than L, and H can cancel twice. The M version is pretty much useless because it doesn't combo from as much as the L version and is more unsafe. You can perform the follow-ups on whiff. While the follow-up versions do act as frametraps, it's pretty risky to attempt and it's much safer to back off and use Infinite Wonders.

Gets in a defensive stance that has armor until it's cancelled into a followup. L-version guards against overheads and highs, M-version guards against lows only, and H-version has 1f startup and guards against everything that isn't a grab. H-version also enhances the different followups.

  • You can use this to punish certain things other characters can't, for example Percivals fireball from a blockstring by armoring it then punish him with a followup.
  • You can cancel into the followups even if you don't guard anything and can be used as a combo-tool.
  • Since the H-version gets armor from f1 it can be used as a reversal, and the followups aren't always easy to punish.

Follows up Rhapsody with a jumping knee attack. Zeta can then perform midair attacks after jumping. It can be a handy skill to close the gap when going on the offensive. It is NOT, however, a good anti-air.

This is the best followup from a defensive point of view, with its speed you will either beat gatlings or crush/clash hits. It's also the safest on block since you'll be airborne and have buttons ready.

All versions of this has uses as a combo-tool in the corner, but it's not the greatest mixup-tool unfortunately.

RecoveryShows how many frames that the character must go through after its active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance. On BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Throws list the amount of Frame Advantage upon successfully throwing the opponent. On Hit Invuln

Performs a powerful rising attack. If connected at close range, Zeta will perform an enhanced version for increased damage.

Sadly this is not a good reversal, nor is it a good anti-air. I wouldn't advice anyone to use this outside of combos.
