Fighting Elphelt

--Please note that this guide was written in 2015, and Elphelt has been significantly nerfed since--

Burst Points

214KGGXRD-R Elphelt GroundBridalExpress.pngGuardAllStartup14Recovery12Advantage-7 combo enders - Bridal Express is often used for combo extensions when Elphelt has meter, so make sure to check her bar before pressing Burst.

Corner SG.HGGXRD-R Elphelt Fire2.pngGuardAllStartup3RecoveryTotal 31Advantage-2 - Short answer: Kinda don't burst this. Long answer: Burst early or don't burst at all; after a couple of shots Elphelt is pushed back far enough that burst will whiff. However, Elphelt knows this and will likely be baiting burst at the beginning of corner combos. So, in general, don't actually burst this.
