Terribly short range

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.

Chains into itself up to 3 times.
Short Range
Hits Crouchers

Short ranged wrist slap. Good for setting up stagger pressure, tick grabs, and jump cancellable on block. Can try to reset pressure with a jump or go straight into j.C instant overhead. Be careful though, it can still be low profiled by things like Kokonoe's 2A or Izanami's 2B.

Short Range
Common combo starter

Short ranged downward slash used primarily in combos. Shouldn't be used as a pressure or neutral tool.

Good whiff punish tool
Good poke when you have a Bors buff

5C has a lot of reach but not a lot of reward on hit without a Bors buff. It's often best to use it as a whiff punish tool instead of a poking tool since 5C has a lot of recovery on whiff, making it risky to throw out. If you have a Bors buff though, the risk and rewards balance out more and it becomes feasible to use as a poke in some situations.

Chains into itself up to 3 times
Can whiff cancel into itself

Mostly used at the beginning of pressure, similar to 5A. It's even on block and has little blockstun, making it a great for stagger pressure and tick throws. 2A can also be pretty good as a defensive tool to mash out of pressure as well since the pommel strike has a good amount of reach.

2B

Decent neutral poke

A good poke
Can be Kara canceled into throws or barrier
Dodgy-looking low hit

2B is a good poke to go for since it has decent reach and the recovery on whiff isn't going to leave you too vulnerable to whiff punishment. Please note though that the hurtbox on 2B is not particularly great and might lead to some trades. For this reason, you don't want to outspace your opponent with your pokes in general. You mostly want to counterpoke your opponent or catch them trying to do something in neutral. 2B is also a low but it doesn't come up much currently in her mixups.

As an interesting extra, 2B moves Es forward and be kara canceled into throws and barrier. The kara cancel can be good for some throws setups while the kara cancel into barrier is mostly useful for a crossunder left/right mixup on an opponent's neutral tech.

2C

Optional anti-air.
Forces standing on Counter Hit.

A rising vertical swipe with the broadsword. Sees most of its use in combos, but it can also be used as an anti-air in situations where 6B isn't the best choice. 2C is also a good starter to use to punish a whiffed reversal, as it forces standing on counter hit which will allow you to link into command grab for a good combo.

6A

Pretty decent overhead

Bonus Proration 110%.
Forces crouching on hit.
Good for an Overhead mixup.

Es Overhead. It's slow but with the right variation of your pressure, you can open people up with it. The foot invuln also makes it great for beating people trying to mash out of 5A/2A stagger pressure with crouching jabs

Good anti-air.
Floats, even on regular hit

6B has incredible vertical and horizontal reach, making it Es' go to Anti-Air. As with most anti-airs though, make sure you aim to use this in situations where the opponent needs to commit to their jump in. Because of the high recovery on whiff, trying to use this against opponents dodging 6B by using additional air options or character specific tools is a good way to get yourself punished.

6B also sees some use in combos due to its ability to float an opponent, which can be useful for side swap combos.

Normal 6C
Dash 6C

Great for for crouch confirms, midscreen Bors combos and corner combos.
Dash 6C Fatal Counters and has 110% Bonus Proration.
Dash 6C can blow back grounded opponents and give a small wall bounce only after you reach peak dash velocity.
On airborne opponents, 6C will always blowback and give a small wall bounce.

6C and dash 6C are both core combo tools in Es' more extensive combos, thanks to the blowback it causes on airborne opponents. It also sometimes used as a combo ender that will even allow you to go for a safe jump j.D.

Sometimes a good poke.
Good combo ender to get a Bors buff.
Knocks down. On Counter hit, the knockdown lasts long enough to pick up the combo with a dash up OTG 5B.

For the most part, 3C is a common combo tool. Sometimes as a combo ender because of its knockdown, sometimes as a means to sweep an opponent off their feet to make them airborne and sometimes to keep the combo going.

However, 3C can also be a rewarding frame trap in pressure and a good poke to hit people out of body invuln/guard point moves since it gives a hard knockdown you can pick up with microdash 2A or 5B. For similar reasons, 3C can also be a good button to poke someone out of trying to dash back in and reset their pressure with buttons. 3C has a pretty good amount of recovery on whiff though and is risky so you don't want to use 3C to poke too often .

j.B
j.BB

Great air to air poke.
Sometimes a good jump in
Can cancel into j.BB on whiff.

Mostly used as an air to air poke because of its horizontal reach. It also goes slightly upwards so it can be good for hitting someone higher up in the air than you are, like Izanami floating at super jump height.

j.B can also be a pretty good jump in as well. j.B is good against standing opponents and opponents at airdash heights, while j.BB is good against people on the ground both standing and crouching.

j.C

Good for safe jumps
Sometimes good for mixups
Sometimes good as a jump in
Knocks the opponent downward on hit

j.C has a pretty huge hitbox, making it a great button for jump ins sometimes. You mostly want to use it from low to the ground air dashes and certain instances when you're falling down from a jump. j.C can't cancel into anything on block so using it at a low height is an absolute thing you must do in order to have enough blockstun/hitstun to stay safe or pick up the combo.

Because j.C's hitbox hits so far below Es, you can also use it to do instant overheads. However, as mentioned in the previous paragraph concerning jump ins, you can't cancel into anything on block so it's a risky option and it's usually best used when you have 50 meter to rapid cancel to keep yourself safe and extend the combo into something more damaging. j.C can also be used for safe jumps on oki from certain enders

5D
Crest

Good combo tool
Sometimes good for resetting pressure
Sometimes good for oki
Frame Advantage listed assumes the crest hits afterwards, If not, the frame advantage is -18

5D is mainly used as a common combo piece in Es' more extensive combo routes, 3C > 5D > 214[B] loop being the most notable place you'll see it used.

Also, while uncommon, microdash 5D oki after a midscreen Mordred ender can be a good way to catch no techs and people trying to delay tech. It also outranges many reversals.

2D
Crest

Good combo tool
Sometimes a good way to reset pressure
Similar looking hitbox to 5D, but actually extends above and behind Es more, making it something of a slow anti-crossup.

2D sees most of its use in Es' corner to corner carry combos since 6C > delay 2D is a good way to carry the opponent almost a fullscreen distance while remaining close to continue the combo. It also sees some use in a variation of Es' corner combo routes where you can do 6C > 2D > sjc j.2BB > (2D Crest Hits) > j.D as a combo piece.

Less frequently used, Es' 2D Crest can be a good way to reset pressure in a blockstring by doing 2D > 236A > delay 236B to force the opponent into blockstun long enough to force them to block 2D's Crest, which will cover your dash forward to reset pressure. Much like 5D though, any gatling into 2D has a gap that players can mash or jump out of so you need to vary your pressure well to catch opponents off guard and make these options less reliable to use.

6D
Crest

Good combo tool, especially in the corner
Sometimes a good pressure tool

Es' 6D sees most of its uses in corner combos in the infamous 6C > 6D > delay jc j.C > (6D Crest Hits) > j.D combo piece that her better corner combos always have. It's also used in some variations of midscreen combos

Though more rarely, you can also see 6D used in pressure sometimes to either catch backdashes, beat low mashing with its foot invuln or reset pressure, either by doing 6D > j.236A > air dash j.C or 6D > j.2B > 2B. However, much like her other grounded drives, any gatling into 6D has a gap that can be jumped out of or standing mashed out of so be sure to vary your pressure well to make these less reliable options for them.

j.D
Crest

Good combo piece
Good for oki and pressure

Of all her drives, Es' j.D is probably the one with the most all around utility. j.D is useful in a lot of midscreen and corner combos because it's untech time makes it easy to combo from a low to the ground j.D juggle.

j.D is also pretty good for oki. The j.D attack itself can catch different tech options depending on the combo ender. At the same time, the j.D Crest that gets placed can be useful for either resetting pressure, limiting your opponent's options or making an instant overhead j.C safe/comboable without meter.

Forward
Back
Air

100% minimum damage

Forward throw launches the opponent. Can be picked up with 5B or 214[B].

Back throw pushes the opponent behind her. Same pickup options as with Forward Throw.

Air throw knocks down the opponent. You can pick it up by linking 5B or 6C but you can actually special it as well. The timing is a bit awkward though. You have to do it just a bit after the final of the air throw when she's slamming the opponent into the ground. It might take some practice to get used to but once you get a feel for the timing, you can special cancel into Bors, which will keep you close and give you a Bors buff and then pick up the combo with 2C > en623C

Uncharged
Charged

Can be charged.

Causes guard break on hit and can only be blocked with Barrier. Takes a lot of the Barrier Gauge, and can be charged to take more Barrier or increase damage in combos.

It doesn't really see much use in Es play since except for maybe the exception of a midscreen crouch confirm, Es Crush Trigger combos aren't very rewarding. In pressure, it can be an okay option to end a blockstring on a safe note if you try and go for a frame trap with 6C.

Goes away on being hit, and when a throw is teched.

Es assumes a stance that powers up her next special attack. An icon will be displayed above your heat gauge when the buff is active.

Bors is a very useful asset to have because it's going to make random confirms hit harder and carry the opponent to the corner no matter where you are as well as help with your mixup and pressure. You can safely get a Bors buff by special canceling a 3C or 6C combo ender but there are also opportunities in neutral to get a Bors buff once you've gotten used to playing neutral with Es.

Ground
Air
Crest
Enhanced Followup

Good reversal.
Only invulnerable up to the first hit.
Buffed version is a good combo extender.

Es performs a crouching over the shoulder swing followed by a massive upward slash. It has a lot of reach in all directions, making it reliable as a reversal. That said, reversals like these are always a gamble so try to mostly use it when you have 50 meter to rapid cancel it or a burst to escape the punish combo you're going to take if your opponents baits your reversal. Beating this move is a little different to other reversals since the two-stage nature of the move will beat out a lot of backdashes. However it takes longer to perform and is only invulnerable for the first strike, so if it does miss or get blocked, your opponent has a long time to react with their best punish.

The enchanted version of Griflet has a third strike that knocks the opponent downwards and ground bounces. It can be picked up with falling j.D to keep the combo going, making it great as a combo extender. However, it doesn't make it safe on block.

Command Grab that whiffs on crouchers
Combo throw, will not incur purple !! marks in hit- or blockstun for any reason. Does not have 100% minimum damage.
First hit prevents the second hit from dealing base damage due to the character combo rate taking effect.

Mostly used in punish combos since Erec adds a lot of damage to combos when comboed into earlier on. It doesn't see much use as a mixup because it's very unsafe on whiff and you don't get to see its huge base damage anyway.

Gawain sees most of its use in combos. Charged Gawain sees the most frequent use in 3C > 5D > 214[B] loops but uncharged Gawain is also used from time to time in some midscreen routes.

The charged version of Gawain is also great for resetting pressure when you manage to get an opponent to block 5D as explained in 5D's section.

Mostly used in combos, either as an ender or as an extension in the corner.

When you have a Bors buff, the first attack of Mordred becomes a pretty useful way of resetting pressure since it becomes + on block and the rush forward closes the gap between you and your opponent.

Additional Breunor A/B
Powered Up

Good for controlling space and helping cover approaches
Powered Up Shot is good for corner combos
Sometime helpful for resetting pressure
Can fire a followup up Breunor by inputting 236A/B again (Can not be followed up repeatedly).
If a followup Breunor touches the previous Breunor, it will become a powered up shot

Mostly used to control space and cover approaches. Throwing Breunors at the right heights and in the right situations can make it hard for your opponent to move freely and can compliment your rushdown and footsies by convincing the opponent to move at your pace or in ways that'll make them easier to predict. The Breunors are a high projectile level too and will beat or cancel out a good amount of other projectiles in the game. The B version of Breunor is also good to throw out ahead of you and then dash in after to have it help cover your approach.

In pressure, staggered Breunor projectiles can be good for ending pressure or if you're doing it from 2D, it can be good for helping to reset pressure

Additionally, the powered up Breunor shot is useful for some corner combos because the sliding knockdown it gives can either be used to go into dash 6C > 6D routes or be used as an ender that'll give you time to go for safe jumps.

Good air combo ender
Sometimes good combo extender

Tristan is mostly good to end air combos on since it knocks the opponent down to the ground. However, in some cases, ending the Tristan sequence at the second hit of Tristan can be good for extending a combo. Depending on the height of you and your opponent, you can link j.2BB into j.B in some air combos to extend the air combo a little more to either get more damage or better knockdown. Similarly, j.2BB is popular in some corner combo routes as a means to buy time for a 2D Crest to activate and extend your combo.

After activating Percival, you will be allowed to use the enchanted version of Es' specials for as long as Percival lasts. Unfortunately, this currently doesn't see much use in practical play. A lot of Percival combo routes pretty much do the same or worse damage as meterless routes so it's often viewed as an inefficient use of meter.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.	On ODRThe 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.	AttributeSome attacks are invulnerable to attacks with specific attributes. This notes what attributes each attack possesses. H - Head B - Body F - Foot P - Projectile. Independent projectiles will have their Durability level listed, e.g. a projectile with Durability level 2 will show P2 T - Throw D - Doll attack, such as Carl's or Relius' doll Burst - Burst, which has its own unique attribute	Invuln

Does not cost Heat, but immediately ends Overdrive if used.
Becomes stronger and flashier with Active Flow.

Puts Es in Active Flow if she hasn't already been in it. On Active Flow, Es slashes the opponent four times, and finishes with a downward slash that summons a large, multi-hitting crest from the ground. Has full invuln, but it has a measly 5% minimal damage, somewhat unsafe on block and cannot be rapid-canceled.

Es' Exceed Accel can be comboed into from many moves, most notably 3C, 5B, and 2C. Because it has a vertical kick as the start up animation, it doesn't have much of a horizontal hitbox making it unusable as a reversal in some suitations. However, it can instead act as a pseudo anti-air, since it hits a good height above her.
