Overview
Overview
Mu-12 (stylized as μ-No.12-) is a well-rounded character with fast movement, high damage, powerful vortex and low risk zoning.
Mu-12 has dominant neutral, able to out zone most characters with 2B, 5C, j.C, j.2C and her fast movement. In addition to this, her Steins (xD) are a low risk way to create threats for the opponent, either by waiting for the stein to fire or by using her powerful stein specials.
Mu-12 also has an extremely oppressive knockdown situation. Steins can be used to meatyHitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. the opponent while punishing all rolls and avoiding reversals, extend pressure, or enforce mixup. Combined with her high damage, Mu can three touch the vast majority of the cast. Her mixup is also fairly strong, as she has multiple ways to set up 50/50A mix-up where the opponent has a choice between two options, such as strike-throw or high-low. A "true 50/50" is used to describe a mix-up in which the defender must guess and commit to one option, without any way to determine which option the opponent will choose and react accordingly. situations, such as blockstrings into delayed airdash j.B vs empty low 2B, or 6B1 Rapid Cancel 2B.
While Mu has areas she does not excel at, such as her pressure and defensive tools, she's not bad at them. 2B is a +0 on block normal with extremely low recovery, allowing her to apply a basic stagger pressure gameplan. While her defensive options have flaws such as low range, she still has access to 623C, which is a meterless True ReversalA reversal attack of which the user is invulnerable throughout all startup frames, including the first active frame or more..

Drive: Steins Gunner
Steins Gunner projects a small turret to the targeted location. Steins have a long charge up before they fire, and will not fire or remain active if Mu is hit or blocks an attack. Steins are created aiming at the opponent, and very slightly track before firing.
Steins can also be charged by holding down the Drive button. Charged Steins take longer to fire, but have much more powerful beams and track the opponent significantly more effectively before firing.
Up to four Steins can be on the stage at a time; if Mu tries to set a fifth Stein, it will replace the oldest one, regardless of if the stein has fired yet. Steins are also used for two of Mu's special attacks and one of her supers; Totsuka Blade, Tokotachi Blade, and Blessed Mirror.
All Stein summons are cancellable into Specials, Drives, Jumps, C Normals, and 6B on whiff. Stein whiff cancels are required for all but the most basic of Mu combos, and also allow Steins to be used as a low risk neutral option. A maximum of two steins can be performed per string.
Each stein is numbered by the order they were placed in, starting at one for new steins and ending at four. This is used to indicate the order for Totsuka Blade.
Overdrive: Steins Geiser
New Steins always fire charged lasers. Steins fire extremely quickly. Steins will fire even if Mu is hit or blocks, so long as she is not in hitstun or blockstun when they attempt to fire. Steins Geiser does not change Steins that have already been set. Additionally, all of Mu's Drive related attacks become much stronger. See each move's section for details.
Normal Moves
5A
Frame 6
Frames 7-11
5A is useful for anti airing due to the above average hitbox and active frames. It also whiffs on most crouching characters, which can be used to bait out throw OS.
- Jump Cancellable
- Whiffs all Crouchers, except for Hakumen and Tager.
- Whiffs on Kagura and Relius too unless they're in blockstun or are using barrier.
- Can be used 3 times per string.
- +8 on GCOD.The difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.

5B
Don't use this in neutral.
5B is almost exclusively a pressure tool. It has an awful hitbox and awful recovery, recovering only 2 frames faster than 5C. The only reason this move isn't completely outclassed by 6A as a pressure tool is because 5B is -4 on GCOD, while 6A is -7. Otherwise, 6A has better range against crouchers, doesn't consume a B chain so you can do 2B 6A 2B, and retains basically all other properties worth considering.
It also sees infrequent use in combos as a more damaging normal than 2B in situations where you don't have time to use 6A or 5C.

5C
"消えて!" ("Disappear!")
Fittingly, neutral and health bars have a tendency to do exactly as she commands when you press this.
5C is an amazing neutral tool, with high horizontal and vertical range for its speed. It also has very high reward near the corner by using 5C 6C Tachiw wallsplat into a full combo plus setplay.
This button also shines in making Mu's throw extremely irritating to deal with, as even if they tech the throw, 5C is in range to hit the opponent afterwards anyway. Clipping a skittish opponent jumping after a throw tech can lead to very high damage.

2B
Behold: The button of a godslayer! Revel in its limitless utility.
Mu's best normal. 2B is a strong neutral tool with good range and low recovery. It's good for pressure because it's +0 on block, and good for mixup because it's an 8f low. You can even use it to cross under neutral tech! With Mu's ability to convert any hit near the corner into good damage, this normal is also her most consistent source of damage. 2B excels at everything and it should be applied liberally.
- +5 on GCOD.The difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid.

2C
High risk-high reward anti-air and combo tool. Part the skies and rid them of non-believers!
One of Mu's anti-airs. While the hitbox is very big with more vertical range than any of her other options and the ability to hit behind her, the invulnerability to air moves is fairly slow and the high recovery makes it easier to bait. Furthermore, her hurtbox extends vertically before the head invulnerability kicks in making it easier to get hit out of the startup. Best used as a hard read anti-air as the reward if correct is great.
As a punish, 2C is unparalleled. It's more consistent than 6C due to faster startup and lack of a dead zone, and like 6C allows Mu to combo directly into SOD2 on counter hit for extremely high damage.
In pressure, 2C is a 1f frame trap off 2B, working as a high reward OD OS killer.

6A
Mu's reaction anti-air. Gets head invulnerability faster than average and retains it through all of its active frames.
Another of Mu's anti-airs, and probably the one you'll be using most frequently. Floats on counter hit. Faster than 2C, and good horizontal range, but not very good vertically. It also recovers significantly faster than 2C so it's less susceptible to double jump baits.
6A also has use in blockstrings because it has many cancel options, while being relatively safe on GCOD at -7. A blockstring you'll probably see a lot is 2B 6A 2B. It integrates two lows, is +0 on block, sets up spaced 6B if they barrier and retains a decent number of cancel options to frame trap the opponent with.

- -7 on GCOD.The difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame. At best, your opponent is going to get a jab punish.
- Can be used 2 times per string. Mu must be careful to not be too far for the second 6A to hit the opponent.

6B
A faster than average overhead when spaced...
...and a very important combo tool.
First hit
Second hit
A very strong combo tool and Mu's primary overhead. 6B has very long range and huge reward. It has faster than average startup compared to other characters' overheads, but the catch is that only the second hit is an overhead. Thus you'll need to space it out so that only the second hit will land, or spend meter to rapid cancel the first hit and hit them low with 2B. Steins can be used to cover the startup and prevent them from disrespecting you.
The second hit of 6B is a ground bounce, which is her primary launcher midscreen when you're close enough to combo into it.
Mu retracts her feet from the floor during the forward roll of the animation, letting her dodge sweeping attacks, aka classic "low crush" or "high profile", but is not the same as having actual foot invulnerability and can still lose to foot property attacks. Similarly, she is never considered airborne during any part of the attack, so she can still be thrown out of it.
- Fatal Counter
- First hit is a hard knockdown on air hit, something many confirms take advantage of but rarely helpful outside of that.
- -25 on GCOD.The difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame. Absurdly unsafe if the opponent GCOD's first frame, but if they GCOD after blocking the first hit you can cancel with 5D and jump to avoid a punish.

6C
The disjointed spike of godslaying! Getting a Fatal with this is a license to delete them.
6C is primarily a combo tool, but sees use in neutral in specific matchups as way to heavily punish reckless projectile usage, due to being entirely disjoint and having long range.
This move is used in nearly every corner combo, and some midscreen ones for corner carry. It will nearly always combo from 5C regardless of context. Some characters will need 6C to be spaced slightly less due to smaller hurtboxes interacting with its dead zone (Particularly wallsplat hurtboxes in corners).
6C can be used in blockstrings as a frame trap or simply to push your opponent farther away and give you more blockstun to drive cancel or special cancel into something. Can be gapless out of 2C instead of 5C. Be careful about using this, it's absurdly unsafe on whiff and is a great spot for the opponent to use GCOD or OD OS if canceled into from 5C too frequently.
- Deadzone in front of Mu.

3C
The forbidden, jump cancelable sweep!
This move is combo or blockstring fodder. It's a jump cancellable low that's a 1f frame trap off your 2B and into uncharged SOD, so it's a vital tool for semi safely blowing up OD OS. However, it's GCOD unsafe. You can also use this to call out people fuzzy jumping out of your spaced 6B.
It doesn't lead to much midscreen without rapid or overdrive cancel, however in the corner you can extend with SOD for a full combo.
As a punish, it's actually pretty decent. Counter hit 3C lets you combo into SOD2 immediately, so it does fairly reasonably damage, but it's outclassed by 2C SOD2 as a starter. Use that instead.
Doesn't have many uses in neutral, but is good for punishing moves that are vulnerable only to lows (Tager's Voltec Charge

An important button for Mu's pressure. High risk to use as an air-to-air due to the recovery.
This is your primary jump-in option, as it doesn't have landing recovery, can reverse beat into j.A to be more plus, hits below you, and can hit crossup.
It's also used to hit people overhead in delayed airdash mixup due to being able to hit every character in the game crouching at the right height, while being significantly faster than j.2C. You can also whiff it rising to auto time the delayed airdash on almost all characters, with the exceptions of Celica, Kokonoe, Naoto and Jin.

j.C is an amazing, disjoint air to air and decent air to ground when spaced. It has extremely good reward on counter hit, but it doesn't hit below Mu very well, and has landing recovery so it's vulnerable to low profile attacks.
Instant air backdash j.C is a relatively safe option at round start or after using a drive, with the majority of the cast having no reliable means of punishing her for it.

Also commonly used after air stalling with a drive, as you cannot whiff cancel drives into j.B.

5D/2D/6D/4D
The Godslayer's best friend!
Mu sets a stein in one of four positions, which tracks the opponent and then fires a half-screen projectile. In setplay and combos, steins are extremely strong and allow Mu to reset pressure, force mixup situations or get much higher damage. In neutral, steins are a low risk way to take advantage of respect and also provide fuel for her very powerful stein specials, 214D, 236D and 632146D. In pressure, steins are a safe way to disengage via whiff canceling into jump.
Overdrive steins are a different beast entirely. They retain the whiff cancel windows of uncharged steins with the projectile properties of charged steins, fire twice as fast, and will fire even after block or hit as long as Mu isn't in hitstun or blockstun when the stein attempts to fire. These properties combined make overdrive steins a menace in neutral and can lock the opponent down from across the screen long enough for Mu to approach and mix them up. Raw overdrive in neutral lasts at least 4 seconds, and is strong enough to be worth considering.
- Steins can be whiff canceled on the following frames for each input: 4D=14F, 5D=15f, 6D=16F, 2D=18F.
- Can be whiff canceled into: Drives, C normals, 6B, specials, supers and jump.
- Any version can cancel into any other (including charged versions), but not into the same version.
- A maximum of two steins can be placed per chain.
- A maximum of four steins can be placed at once, with any stein over that number replacing the oldest stein regardless of if it has fired yet or not.
- Will not fire if Mu blocks or is hit.
- Except in OD where they will still fire if Mu leaves hitstun or blockstun beforehand.

5[D]/2[D]/6[D]/4[D]
The Godslayer's fullscreen best friend!
Same as above, except for the following differences:
- The stein takes longer to fire, but now shoots a higher damage, fullscreen laser.
- Charged steins can be whiff canceled on the following frames for each input: 4[D]=27F, 5[D]=29f, 6[D]=31F, 2[D]=35F.
- The longer startup also results in the stein adjusting its aim for a longer period.
- This charged laser is what all steins placed in OD will fire without any of the penalties/differences mentioned above.
- Uncharged stiens can be cancelled into charged ones and vice versa.
Charged steins are significantly less safe to just throw out due to a much later whiff cancel window, and mostly serve as setplay tools. However, an uncontested string of charged steins in neutral can make it very annoying for an opponent to approach you, as each charged stein can somewhat cover the placement of another.
They also have uses in specific matchups, such as versus Arakune or Izanami. Arakune has very poor mobility, and struggles to deal with a fortress of charged steins. Izanami can't block while using her drive, so a charged stein in neutral can force her to attempt to approach, throw out bits to force you to block at positions that don't lead to anything for her or use ribcage.

The Godslayer's combo and setup oriented best friend!
Air steins are the slightly more situational alternative to ground steins. Like ground steins these can be canceled into all of the same things including jump so long as you had not spent your air action already. Particular uses for these that can't be done by ground steins include using its ability to stop air momentum to bait anti-airs and whiff punish with j.2C and in combos for both the momentum and to squeeze in an extra j.2C though canceling a j.2C into an air stein and back.
- Air steins can be whiff canceled on frame 21.

Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
5B+C
Implementing the occasional throw into your stein pressure does wonders.
Midscreen, Mu's throw is a relevant mixup tool that leads to average damage, strong corner carry and setplay using microdash 6A or 2C routes. In the corner, this throw leads to absurd damage as you can immediately cancel into SOD2 and follow up with her high damage 2C 5D 2C 5D corner juggle for nearly 3.8k damage with no loss of setplay.
The animation and launch angle is 100% identical on back throw, just in the opposite direction; the only notable difference is that 4B+C SOD2 can whiff if you're too close to the corner. This can be avoided by slightly delaying the SOD2.
- Functions the same as every other throw.
- Special and Drive cancellable
- Counter hit recovery
- Kara throw: 2C~B

Air Throw
j.B+C
"Stay down." -Mu, Continuum Shift
Airthrows are great aggressive anti airs for every character, and Mu is no exception.
Sideswaps, but is otherwise mostly the same as her grounded back throw. The same midscreen followups work.
Corner combos are significantly different, mostly because this throws them out of the corner. If you throw them out of the corner, microdash 5C 2C tachi will side swap and allow you to retain corner. If you throw them into the corner, the corner combo starts with 6C SOD2 rather than simply SOD2, for almost the same damage as grounded throw.

Crush Trigger
5A+B (Chargeable)
She gets far more mileage out of the uncharged version than most. Treasure it!
Thanks to steins giving her the ability to confirm it, Mu is able to get better overall reward off of her uncharged crush trigger than most of the cast and doesn't need the corner to do so. Also, the attack itself works similarly to a projectile in that Mu's hurtbox doesn't extend much. Mu gets about 3.7k to 4k off uncharged CT in the corner with a stein to confirm it.
Doesn't really see much use in combos. Uncharged can combo off 3C, but if you're close enough to use 3C CT you were probably close enough to do 2B 6A/5C 6B instead. Charged CT doesn't see much use either, as overdrive double super is a much more rewarding use of meter.

Specials
Totsuka Blade
236D (Air OK)
Ame no Totsuka
Fires a laser that bounces between steins, in order of newest to oldest, then at the opponent.
236D is a powerful setplay tool with niche use in neutral. Mu fires a laser at the stein marked 1, which then bounces to stein #2, and eventually the opponent when all steins have been passed through. This can result in an absurd amount of blockstun - With the opponent between two steins, Mu can trivially reset pressure or use her standing overhead. With four steins, Mu has enough time to jump and force a 50/50A mix-up where the opponent has a choice between two options, such as strike-throw or high-low. A "true 50/50" is used to describe a mix-up in which the defender must guess and commit to one option, without any way to determine which option the opponent will choose and react accordingly. via delayed airdash j.B j.2C vs empty jump 2B. Mu can set up four steins on top of the opponent with her Corner Middle C route.
In neutral, this move is significantly less oppressive, but can still be an effective way to punish respect from the opponent with the correct stein placements. 4D 2D 236D is plus enough to start pressure, and can be difficult to contest due to 236D remaining if Mu is hit. Despite remaining on hit, Mu players should be careful using this, as the recovery is extremely high and the tracking can sometimes leave something to be desired - It is possible for the opponent to avoid the last laser, or punish with an option that is invulnerable during the animation, such as throws or some supers.
This move has no utility in combos. Each bounce scales individually, so outside of the occasional combo starter when someone disrespects Mu's setplay, this is not something that sees use. 214D is also significantly more effective in combos, and both consume your steins.
- The laser is considered a new projectile every time it bounces, meaning it can hit once for every bounce; the maximum possible number of hits is 5.
- If more steins are placed while active it will bounce off of them as well. The cutoff point for this is roughly just before it reaches the last stein.
- Each stein disappears shortly after reflecting the laser.
- Stays active even if Mu is hit or has to block.
- Prevents newly placed steins from firing their own shot.
- If no steins are set, this move animates as normal but nothing is fired.
- Counter hit recovery

Tokotachi Blade
214D (Air OK)
Kuni no Tokotachi
The drones of godslaying! Commands the steins to fly in whatever direction they were pointing.
An extremely ignorant neutral special. 214D is extremely plus on hit or block, and can lead to full combos or tight pressure from fullscreen with multiple staggered stein placements. When done in the air, it can be tricky for the opponent to punish, as steins can hit the opponent and make you plus while you retain air actions after the j.214D.
Also sees use in combos. Generally, combos will stabilize into 214D then perform a string of steins, normals and specials for setplay.
- Launches all currently placed steins in the direction they're currently facing (not necessarily towards the opponent). After colliding with the enemy character or flying offscreen, they vanish.
- Remains active if it hits a doll.
- Stays on block.
- Can still be used without steins present, but is pointless to do so.
- In OD, the steins will explode after making contact resulting in more hitstun, blockstun and damage.
- Counter hit recovery
- Steins used by this move are immediately considered consumed, meaning they won't fire their own lasers if they haven't already and Totsuka Blade and Blessed Mirror will not target them with their lasers.

Arrows of Heaven
236A (Air OK)
Ama no Habaya
The divine arrows of punishment! Good for clashing other projectiles in certain matchups to buy time for Steins.
236A is a situational neutral tool to bait your opponent into jumping, or to occupy space to buy time for steins to fire. Awful in pressure due to long recovery, low blockstun and low hitstun, and absolutely no use in combos as it is very hard continue your combo if used and doesn't reward the effort anyway. Has some use in setplay as a meaty, but this is mostly a knowledge check as the opponent can let it blue beat or roll into it, then air tech out.
j.236A is largely the same, but arcs downwards and also stalls air momentum. It can be a bit more useful in neutral when done low to the ground, as it can occupy an awkward height where they can't run under but it can also hit jumps. Floating high in the air to waste time for your charged steins to fire is also a good use of j.236A.

623C (Air OK)
Tsunugui
Keep the humans away with this diamond that just so happens to be a meterless reversal!
623C is Mu's primary reversal move. It has short horizontal and vertical range, but is still amazing to get opponents off Mu during pressure. The hitbox also surrounds Mu, so it can't be crossed up, and has an above average amount of invulnerability and active frames.
Has use in combos as one of Mu's highest damage routes by using steins to combo after j.623C. The only downside is that j.623C corner routes are distance dependent, and require Mu to be relatively close to the opponent for the combo to work. Leads to absurd reward if performed, however - 4.2k damage off 2B or nearly 5.0k off 5C.
Cancelling steins into the air and ground versions of this move can make your zoning game very difficult for your opponents to deal with. The air version can also be used as a crossup when combined with an instant air dash, but this is very risky and requires meter or a setup to combo afterwards.
- Counter hit recovery, like most invulnerable moves
- Ground version wall bounces in the corner
- Air version wallsticks in the corner

Sword of Infinity
63214B
Ikutachi
An extremely ignorant crossup and repositioning special.
Please abuse responsibly.
Advancing crossup attack that launches on hit. Mostly used in combos and for whiffing after a midscreen 6C for extra corner carry. The distance travelled in combination with the short recovery also make this a surprisingly good mobility tool to evade the opponent or escape the corner.
Can also be used in a setup midscreen to make it effectively unreactable. You set a stein that fires as you cross them up with Tachi, then Tachi hits them and leads to a combo. In corner setplay it can be used to vacuum the opponent out of the corner.
- Launches extremely high on counter hit.
- Frequently referred to as 'Tachi' rather than 63214B.
- Goes extremely far when microdashed.
- Recovery is slightly deceptive. Has 5f regular landing recovery which can be canceled with buttons, run or block.
- If this recovery is canceled out of Mu is +2, otherwise she's -3. You can also cancel with run then perform an action that you wouldn't be able to cancel into such as backdash or jump.

Sword of Decimation
63214C
Furu no Tsurugi
A huge chargeable slash mostly used for combos.
Uncharged (SOD): In pressure SOD primarily serves as last ditch frame trap, as it starts up 1f faster than 6C, which enables it to blow up OD OS in pressure due to being a 1f frame trap off 5C and 3C. Despite having punishable frame advantage the pushback can generally make it safe if done at the end of a string.
In combos it ground slides making it great for extending combos near/in the corner. SOD is also a standard ender in many combos due to the hard knockdown and ability to cancel into steins - SODw (SOD whiff) enders can catch non neutral tech options while the steins make you plus, resulting in very oppressive knockdown situations.
It also can sometimes serve as a neutral poke, despite the slow speed. It has a very high vertical hitbox, long actives and leads to full combos on counter hit, while having the same recovery as her other main grounded neutral poke, 5C.
Charged (SOD2): Purely a combo tool. SOD2 does extreme damage combined with a higher P2 than SOD, resulting in hilarious damage when done early. It should go without saying using it for much else is a bad idea as its both extremely slow and still minus on block. It can see some use as a way to keep opponents honest if they overdrive during the startup, as you can hold to retract your hurtbox or release partially charged to meaty the end of the OD animation.
It should also be noted that SOD2 is automatic upon reaching the required number of frames. You do not need to manually release for faster startup as you do charged crush trigger and trying to do so only makes a slower accidental uncharged SOD a possibility, so just keep holding C until after she swings.
- Can cancel the recovery into a stein on hit only.
- Fatal Counter
- Wall bounces on counter hit.
- Frequently referred to as 'SOD' for the uncharged version and 'SOD2' for the charged version.

Blessed Mirror
632146D (Air OK)
Yata no Kagami
A "Win neutral" button for 50 meter or the first part of double super ender.
An amazing super for neutral due to throwing out a large number of tracking projectiles that stay on hit or block, and can frequently leave Mu plus enough to start pressure. Also useful for combos as a way to add more damage in Mu's double super routes. Zero invulnerability however, so don't try to use this as a reversal.
- Fires one laser at each available stein, one laser directly at the opponent. Each laser aimed at a stein will then be bounced from that stein towards your opponent, leading to a maximum of 9 hits overall.
- There is a short delay between each laser fired, with the first one being fired at Stein #1, then each other stein in order, then finally the opponent. The final shot at the opponent always occurs at the same point in the move, no matter how many steins were used.
- In overdrive, an extra laser is fired directly at the opponent at the same time the move would normally fire one at a stein. This can add up to 4 more hits overall.
- Projectiles stay on hit or block.

Not really useful for damage as Mu has much better tools for that and using this ends her very useful OD immediately, but as EAs have minimum damage it has a niche use when going for kills in the absence of meter.
