* tk.{{clr|B|236B}} = "tiger knee j.236B". In other words, "do {{clr|B|j.236B}} immediately after a jump cancel."
** This motion doesn't *have* to be done as "normal => 2369 => wait => button"
** I find Izayoi's tk combos easier to do as "normal => 8 => wait => 236+button".
* "stance cancel" = canceling a ground {{clr|B|236B}} or {{clr|C|236C}} by holding B/{{clr|C|C}} and pressing/holding A. Can also be written as "236B~A"
* These two are different:
** 236(B/{{clr|C|C}})->{{clr|D|6D}} = hit with Crusade Seraphim ({{clr|B|236B}}/{{clr|C|C}}), then hit with Valkyrie Astraea(->{{clr|D|6D}} follow-up).
** 236(B/{{clr|C|C}})~{{clr|D|D}} = cancel Crusade Seraphim immediately into Astraea, do not hit with Seraphim first.
* {{clr|B|j.B}}-A-B = Shorthand notation for {{clr|B|j.B}} > {{clr|A|j.A}} > {{clr|B|j.B}} because I'm lazy.

| content    = This combo works off pretty much anything up close. From farther hits you can use 214B instead of 214A to gain space. 214B can also be used up close for a side switch, but in combos scaled any more than this one it will drop. Alternatively, 623C can be used instead of 623B at the cost of being range dependent and very bad to drop.

*Stock gain: +4
Izayoi's basic BNB. Very simple, but useful even for the most advanced of Izayoi players. {{clr|C|6C}} can be added after {{clr|C|5C}} against crouching opponents to close distance and add damage.


This combo will get you used to several different aspects of Izayoi's combos. 5B > 236B works in either mode and also works from very far out. Learning which range to use 214B over 214A will make your confirms a lot more threatening. High hit 623C (if you're close enough to get it) will also set up an IAD safejump or an easy transition to GA with 662D.
{{clr|A|214A}} and {{clr|B|214B}} serve the same function in cutting {{clr|B|236B}}'s recovery. {{clr|A|214A}} allows for better pickups, but {{clr|B|214B}} closes more distance in case Izayoi is too far from her opponent.
 
{{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|C|623C}} allows for good okizeme for Izayoi and is usually her preferred combo ender in Normal Mode. Alternate enders are {{clr|B|5B}} > 623B in case she's not close enough after {{clr|A|214A}} or fast enough after {{clr|B|214B}} to get {{clr|C|5C}} after OTG {{clr|B|2B}}, or {{clr|C|5C}} > sjc > {{clr|B|j.B}} > {{clr|A|j.A}} > {{clr|B|j.B}} > jc > {{clr|B|j.B}} > {{clr|C|j.C}}, which sacrifices stocks for damage and alternate okizeme.

* Builds 2 stocks.
* Stock Gain: +2
Basic throw extension, use Stance Cancel instead of B Teleport in the corner. Gains a couple of stocks but retains a great knockdown to continue pressure with after. Can be extended in the corner with the 623C > 5A link explained below. Also works from her airthrow, but without 214B as airthrow cannot be special canceled on hit.
Basic throw combo that doesn't require any of Izayoi's more advanced techniques. Provides a reliable knockdown, so even experienced players might want to forgo her harder combos in favour of this route if the consistency is desired over stock gain or damage.

* Builds 6 stocks, 4 from 6B.

Izayoi can give up a knockdown for an extra two stocks. Giving up a knockdown isn't necessarily the end of the world for her either, as she can cut 623B's recovery with a teleport and transfer into GA (and then burn some stocks on 236D). j.236B > 623B is also her main combo from 6B, so it's a good link to get used to.
This particular route only works from long starters such as {{clr|B|j.B}}, {{clr|C|j.C}}, or {{clr|B|5B}}. However, {{clr|C|5C}} > TK {{clr|B|j.236B}} is an important combo part that maximizes Izayoi's stock gain from many starters.

Izayoi can also give up a knockdown in the corner. This combo usually gives up a decent knockdown for a scramble unless you choose to teleport away from the corner with 214C. Don't go for this unless you really want the stocks.
A short extension that Izayoi can tack onto her BNB in the corner that exchanges a knockdown for stocks. Getting into GA quickly is important, and she might prefer the stocks and opportunity to get into GA easily over being on offense in NM.

Fully loads the gun. Still simple, but the ender may drop depending on spacing. To prevent this, Izayoi can microdash before {{clr|B|5B}} but it makes the combo significantly more difficult. This combo can also be done from {{clr|C|2C}} FC, but will drop at further spacings.
 
Using a slower TK ({{clr|B|8236B}}) instead of the fastest possible TK may be necessary depending on character.

This is the combo you want to go for, if you can. This combo comes with a lot of small adjustments based on distance, so here's the key: your goal is to be in 5C range, which deals the most damage and leads to an easier link with 214A. Far 5B hits must be confirmed with 214B instead of 214A or 5C will whiff due to its short range. Usually this can be routed into the following ways with the following adjustments:
Izayoi's minimum stock combo that maximises her damage while spending as little as possible. This combo comes with a lot of small adjustments based on distance, so here's the key: Izayoi's goal is to be in {{clr|C|5C}} range, which deals the most damage and leads to an easier link with {{clr|A|214A}}. Far {{clr|B|5B}} hits must be confirmed with {{clr|B|214B}} instead of {{clr|A|214A}} or {{clr|C|5C}} will whiff due to its short range.

#66j.AA > 5C > 2C > ... (eliminate the j.B in parenthesis)
#66{{clr|A|j.AA}} > {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|C|2C}}(2) > ... (omit the {{clr|B|j.B}} in parenthesis)

5C > 2C is a crouching-exclusive link that also acts as a pressure reset. This will always connect after j.C or j.AA connects as opponents must be crouching to be hit by overheads in the first place. Don't worry too much about throwing it out in pressure too.

If {{clr|C|2C}} is not available as a reversal punish, Izayoi's {{clr|C|3C}} is a great substitute, being much larger and faster than {{clr|C|2C}}, though much less safe on block.
This route is not quite optimal, but is much easier than the alternative ({{clr|B|6B}} > delay {{clr|B|j.236B}} > {{clr|C|6C}} > sjc) and almost as rewarding. If even {{clr|C|3C}} is too slow for Izayoi to punish the reversal in question, this route can also be done from 236B/{{clr|C|C}}~{{clr|D|6D}} > {{clr|B|214B}}, but requires Izayoi to spend an extra stock.

Yes, you can do this. Functionally doubles Phorizor's raw damage output and gives a very workable knockdown.
When even Astraea isn't fast enough to punish, pull out the big gun. Effectively doubles Phorizor's damage output and leads to a great knockdown, well worth the stocks if used to interrupt someone's pressure, or punish a reversal with Phorizor.

Some of Izayoi's best punish combos start with raw OD into Phorizor. Total startup is 23f: 16f for OD and 7 for Phorizor. She is invuln for the entire time to boot which allows her to punish slow moves in general.
23f effective startup if Phorizor is inputted on the first frame of the OD activation. Requires at most 90% HP to do, but a very silly combo that leaves Izayoi at a net neutral of stocks due to OD's passive stock generation. With less HP it's likely that Izayoi can get even more damage from this starter.

If timed correctly (meaning as fast as possible), Izayoi will teleport through the falling fireball. This combo does pretty respectable damage for something so weirdly specific, making it a great combo to learn. It also shows off some more esoteric combo theory for Izayoi, being comboing into (and out of) 6B to take advantage of its bonus proration.

Beginner Combos

Beginner.png Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible. They:
  • Work against every, or almost every, character in the game
  • Can be performed from most positions in the play area
  • Require few adjustments, and if any are required they are simple

Basic Beginner Confirm

Basic BNB
Very Easy

... > 5C > (6C) > 236B~214A/214B, 2B > 5C > 623C

  • Stock gain: +4

Izayoi's basic BNB. Very simple, but useful even for the most advanced of Izayoi players. 6C can be added after 5C against crouching opponents to close distance and add damage.

214A and 214B serve the same function in cutting 236B's recovery. 214A allows for better pickups, but 214B closes more distance in case Izayoi is too far from her opponent.

5C > 623C allows for good okizeme for Izayoi and is usually her preferred combo ender in Normal Mode. Alternate enders are 5B > 623B in case she's not close enough after 214A or fast enough after 214B to get 5C after OTG 2B, or 5C > sjc > j.B > j.A > j.B > jc > j.B > j.C, which sacrifices stocks for damage and alternate okizeme.

Beginner Throw Combo

Basic Throw Combo
Easy

B+C > delay 214B OR 236B/C~A, 2C > 5C > 623C

  • Stock Gain: +2

Basic throw combo that doesn't require any of Izayoi's more advanced techniques. Provides a reliable knockdown, so even experienced players might want to forgo her harder combos in favour of this route if the consistency is desired over stock gain or damage.

Core Combos

Intermediate.png Core combos balance potency with consistency. They:
  • Work against most characters of a selected weight or hurt box type
  • May require moderate adjustments to account for variables such as screen position, hit count, resources, and opposing character
  • Are expected to be consistently performable by most intermediate and advanced players who main the character

Beginner Combo Variant

TK Crusade SeraphimGive up a knockdown for stocks.
Medium

5B > 5C > 236B~214A > 5C > TK j.236B > 623B

  • Stock Gain: +6

This particular route only works from long starters such as j.B, j.C, or 5B. However, 5C > TK j.236B is an important combo part that maximizes Izayoi's stock gain from many starters.

Corner Combo Extension

Corner BNB ExtensionGive up a knockdown (in the corner) for stocks.
Medium

... 236B~214A/B, 2B > 5C > 623C, 5A > 5B > 623B

  • Stock Gain: +6

A short extension that Izayoi can tack onto her BNB in the corner that exchanges a knockdown for stocks. Getting into GA quickly is important, and she might prefer the stocks and opportunity to get into GA easily over being on offense in NM.

Specialized Combos

Advanced.png Specialized combos are advanced routes which require more knowledge and awareness, but offer advantages over core routes. They:
  • Can have any number or combination of requirements and conditions—character, spacing, hit count, resource, or situation specific
  • Offer some advantage over core routes; be that in damage, corner carry, okizeme, meter gain, etc.
  • Might not necessarily be harder than core combos, but require more specific circumstances and knowledge to execute

clr

6C Fatal, Easy version
Easy

CH 6C > 236B/C~A > 66 > 6A > 236A, 5B > 6C > 236B~214B, 2B > 5C > 623C

  • Stock Gain: +6

Simple 6C FC confirm. Low damage as with all of Izayoi's NM combos, but great stock gain.

6C Fatal Combo Advanced

6C Fatal, Advanced version
Medium

CH 6C > 236B/C~A > 66, 6A > 236A, 5B > 6C > 236B~214B, 5C > TK j.236B > 623B

  • Stock Gain: +8

Fully loads the gun. Still simple, but the ender may drop depending on spacing. To prevent this, Izayoi can microdash before 5B but it makes the combo significantly more difficult. This combo can also be done from 2C FC, but will drop at further spacings.

Using a slower TK (8236B) instead of the fastest possible TK may be necessary depending on character.

2C Fatal Combo

Mode Swap 2C FatalThe GA switch is a punish in and of itself.
Easy

CH 2C > 5D > 6 > 6A > [2C > 5C]x2 > 2C > 236C~6D > 214B > 5C > sjc > j.C > jc > j.C > j.623B~D

  • Stock Gain: -2

Implements a mode switch for great damage. Leaves Izayoi in Gain Art with less stocks than she started out with, making this route ill-advised if she doesn't already have a decent amount of stocks built up, or if it won't end the round.

Optimal Midscreen Throw Combo

Optimal Midscreen Throw Combo
Hard

Throw > 236B/C~A > 66, 6B > delay j.236B > 66 > 5C > 623C

  • Stock Gain: +4

The only way to get four stocks from your throw while retaining a good knockdown. Precise and difficult, but absolutely optimal.

Alternate routing: B+C > delay 214B > 5C > TK j.236B > 623B (4 stocks, low damage but easy) B+C > 236B/C~A > 66, 6B > j.236B > 623B (4 stocks, decently hard but better damage)

Optimal Corner Throw Combo

Optimal Corner Throw Combo
Hard

Throw > 236B/C~A, 5C > TK j.236B/C > 623C > 2B > 5C > 623C

  • Stock Gain: +6
  • Alternate starters: 5B > 5C > 236B/j.B/C > 5B > 236B

Six stocks and a knockdown from a throw!! Very difficult, but worth the effort.

Beginner Combos

Beginner.png Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible. They:
  • Work against every, or almost every, character in the game
  • Can be performed from most positions in the play area
  • Require few adjustments, and if any are required they are simple

Beginner GA Combo

Beginner GA ComboWhere it all begins.
Very Easy

... > 5B > 236B~6D, 6C > 623C~D

  • Stock Gain: -2

The most basic and consistent GA confirm, but very stock intensive and gives very low damage. Easy to confirm and only costs one stock for a knockdown if Strike Fall is omitted after 623C, so it could be situationally useful as a minimum-stock combo.

Core Combos

Intermediate.png Core combos balance potency with consistency. They:
  • Work against most characters of a selected weight or hurt box type
  • May require moderate adjustments to account for variables such as screen position, hit count, resources, and opposing character
  • Are expected to be consistently performable by most intermediate and advanced players who main the character

GA Throw Combo

Basic GA Throw comboA formal introduction to GA combos.
Medium

Throw > 236B/C~A/delay 214B, 2C(2), 5B > 5C > sjc > j.B > j.C > jc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D

  • Stock Gain: -1

Great value for one stock. Serves as good introduction to a number of important GA combo staples, primarily how useful 2C is and the basic air staircase combo.

GA One Stock Confirm

GA 1-StockFor the miserly
Medium

... > 5B > (5C > (2C(2))) > 236B~214A/B, 2B > 5C > sjc > j.B > j.C > jc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D

  • Stock Gain: -1

Izayoi's minimum stock combo that maximises her damage while spending as little as possible. This combo comes with a lot of small adjustments based on distance, so here's the key: Izayoi's goal is to be in 5C range, which deals the most damage and leads to an easier link with 214A. Far 5B hits must be confirmed with 214B instead of 214A or 5C will whiff due to its short range. Usually this can be routed into the following ways with the following adjustments:

  1. 66j.AA > 5C > 2C(2) > ... (omit the j.B in parenthesis)
  2. 66j.C > 5C > 2C(2) > ... (use 214A and perform the combo as normal)
  3. 66j.B+C (whiff) > 2B > 5C > ... (fastfall low, works from normal 2B depenting on range)

5C > 2C is a crouching-exclusive link that also acts as a pressure reset on block. This will consistently connect after j.C or j.AA as opponents must be crouching to be hit by overheads while blocking.

GA Two/Three Stock Confirm

GA 2/3-StockSpend a little more to receive a lot more!
Medium

... > 5C > 3C > 236C~6D~214D > 5C > sjc > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D > (5C > 623B~D)

  • Stock Gain: -2~3

A significant increase in damage at the cost of stocks. Side swaps.

GA Corner One Stock Confirm

GA 1-Stock Corner
Medium

... > 5C > 3C > 236C~6D, 6B > 2B > 5C > 623C

  • Stock Gain: -1

Corner extension using 6B's bonus proration to squeeze a little more damage out of the minimum stock combo.

GA Corner Two/Three Stock Confirm

GA 2/3-Stock Corner
Medium

... > 5C > 3C > 236C~6D, 6B > j.236B > 5C > sjc > (j.B) > j.C > jc > (j.B) j.C > j.623B

  • Stock Gain: -2~3

On more prorated starters, j.B must be omitted. The principle of this combo is the same as the previous otherwise.

GA Super Extension

GA Super ExtensionSqueeze out a little more damage.
Easy

... > Staircase > j.623B~D, 5C > 236236C

  • Stock gain: -1 at most

At superjump double jump height and above, Strike Fall will combo into 5C. 5C > 236236C is pretty consistent even at higher hitstun decay, and using it as an ender will always add at least 750 damage to the combo and can be slotted in easily anywhere you do the GA Staircase combo.

However, for combos so prorated that even 5C > 236236C might drop, a raw 236236C can also be used.

Specialized Combos

Advanced.png Specialized combos are advanced routes which require more knowledge and awareness, but offer advantages over core routes. They:
  • Can have any number or combination of requirements and conditions—character, spacing, hit count, resource, or situation specific
  • Offer some advantage over core routes; be that in damage, corner carry, okizeme, meter gain, etc.
  • Might not necessarily be harder than core combos, but require more specific circumstances and knowledge to execute

GA 2C is Izayoi's optimal reversal punish and even has a jump cancel on both hits for burst baits. However, its short range and slow startup might require her to use a different punish at times.

CH 3C/6C, 2C(2) > delay 5C > 2C(1) > 6B > j.236B > 623B~214D > j.B > jc > j.B > j.C j.623B~D > 5C > 623C

  • Stock Gain: -2

If 2C is not available as a reversal punish, Izayoi's 3C is a great substitute, being much larger and faster than 2C, though much less safe on block.

This route is not quite optimal, but is much easier than the alternative (6B > delay j.236B > 6C > sjc) and almost as rewarding. If even 3C is too slow for Izayoi to punish the reversal in question, this route can also be done from 236B/C~6D > 214B, but requires Izayoi to spend an extra stock.

  • Stock gain: -2

When even Astraea isn't fast enough to punish, pull out the big gun. Effectively doubles Phorizor's damage output and leads to a great knockdown, well worth the stocks if used to interrupt someone's pressure, or punish a reversal with Phorizor.

Death Punish Starter

  • Stock gain: net 0

23f effective startup if Phorizor is inputted on the first frame of the OD activation. Requires at most 90% HP to do, but a very silly combo that leaves Izayoi at a net neutral of stocks due to OD's passive stock generation. With less HP it's likely that Izayoi can get even more damage from this starter.

  • Stock Gain: -2

If timed correctly (meaning as fast as possible), Izayoi will teleport through the falling fireball. This combo does pretty respectable damage for something so weirdly specific, making it a great combo to learn. It also shows off some more esoteric combo theory for Izayoi, being comboing into (and out of) 6B to take advantage of its bonus proration.

Combo Theory

The following is just a general overview of Izayoi's combo routes and is not intended to be comprehensive. Generally speaking, most of Izayoi's combos are not sensitive to character specific hitboxes. When creating combos of your own, it is important to consider her current stock situation, the amount of resources invested for a given amount of damage, what side the combo will end on, etc.

Easy routes are listed for beginners and as a backup for use in netplay.

Normal Mode

The objective in Normal Mode is usually to hit the opponent with as many specials as possible to maximize stock gain. If the stock gauge is filled, prioritize damage.

As a general rule, Izayoi's meterless normal mode damage is very limited and will not exceed beyond 2.0-2.7k.

Midscreen

Typical combos will consist of some type of confirm into 236B > 214A > 2B > ender. The goal is to convert 4 or more stocks per hit midscreen. Crouch confirms can incorporate a 5C > 6C to get bonus damage.

  • Optimal Ender: 2B > 5C > tk j.236B > 623B if proration permits.
  • Ideal Easy Ender: 2B > 5C > 623C. If the stock gauge is full, you may choose to jump cancel 5C into an air combo ending in j.C knockdown. Usually 5C > jc > j.A > j.B > djc > j.A > j.B > j.C will work.
  • If the confirm was done from far away, 2B > 5B > 623B is an acceptable ender. Distance can also be compensated for by switching 214A with 214B.



Overhead Route: 6B > j.236B > 623B

  • Optimized Route: 6B > dl j.236B > 5C > 623C



Throw Route: Throw > 214B > 2C > 5C > 623C

  • Optimal Route: Throw > 236C~A (Stance Cancel)> 66 > 6B > j.236B > 623B



Fatal Routes: At only 12 frames, 2C is a pretty powerful fatal starter. The crumple state on Fatal Counter allows for a lot of different follow ups

  • Optimal 8 Stock Route: FC 2C > 66 > 5C > 6C > 236A > 66 2B> 236B > 214A > 5C > j.236B > 623B
  • Easy 6 Stock Route: FC 2C > 66 > 6C > 236A > 2B > 236B > 214B > 2B > 5C > 623C
  • Mode Switch Route: FC 2C > 5D > 2C > 5C > 2C > Gain Art Combo

Corner

In the corner, she gains extensions to her normal routes by being able to make extra pickups for stocks. Her initial combo sequence still consists of confirm > 236B > 214A > ender. Try to get 6 or more stocks per hit.

  • Optimal 8 Stock Ender (drops on short starters): 5C > tk j.236B/C > 623C >2B > 5C > 623B
  • Easy 6 Stock Ender (works on short starters): 2B > 5C > 623C > 5A > 5B > 623B

Gain Art Mode

As a general rule, you will be spending around 1-3 stocks per combo due to damage scaling invalidating further stock investment and due to hitstun scaling making some stock intensive routes impossible.
GA combos can be loosely thought of in 3 parts: Confirm/Initial Conversion > Slash Transition > Ender.

  • "Confirm" is when you confirm if your attack hit or not. On crouching opponents, 2C can be performed after 5C for a slight damage increase. If the combo incorporates Astraea later on, it may help to combo into 3C to maintain close proximity to the opponent.
  • "Slash Transition" is when you go into 236B, 236C~5D, or 236B~5D. The combo is then picked up with an OTG hit after 236B (usually aided with teleport) or some kind of juggling hit due to the floating effect that Astraea gives on hit.
  • "Ender" is whatever you choose to do after the transition. This will usually end with a slash special into Strike Fall from which you can set up whatever variant of Izayoi's oki you prefer. Note that connecting normals or Phorizor after Strike Fall becomes significantly easier if Strike Fall is performed from higher up. If Strike Fall is performed high enough, you can even RC > mode switch > OTG > 236B > mode switch in order to gain 2 stocks without giving up momentum.


Midscreen

1 Stock Conversions:

  • Confirm > 236B > 214A/B > OTG > jc > j.C > djc > j.C > j.623B~D
    • A generic 1 stock conversion that works off of pretty much any hit. Note that B teleport will not work on weak starters and that the air combo can include some j.B's depending on the starter and position.

2 Stock Conversions:

  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > hj > j.B > j.C > jc > j.B > j.C > j.236C~D
  • j.C > 5C > 3C > 236B~6D > 214A/delay > 6C > hjc > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D
    • Optimal (?) routes
  • Confirm > 3C > 236B/C~6D > 214B > 5C > hjc > j.B > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D
    • Generic side swap route. Note that this may not side swap if the slash hit at the very tip. 5C may have to be delayed.
  • Confirm > 236B > 214D > (2A) > 5C > jc > j.B > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623~D
    • Alternate side swap route. 2A is only required on weak starters.
  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > 6C > 623C~D
    • The beginner/netplay route. Note that 6C may whiff if 236C hit at the very tip in which case you could try using 236B~6D to reduce the pushback

3 Stock Conversions: (Most of these are the 2 stock conversions + 5B > 5C > 623B~D for bonus damage and corner carry.)

  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > hj > j.B > j.C > jc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D > 5B > 5C > 623B~D
  • j.C > 5C > 3C > 236B~6D > 214A/delay > 6C > hjc > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D > 5B > 5C > 623B~D
    • Optimal (?) routes
  • Confirm > 3C > 236B/C~6D > 214B > 5C > hjc > j.B > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D > 5B > 5C > 623B~D
    • Side swap route. Note that this may not side swap if the slash hit at the very tip. 5C may have to be delayed.
  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > 6C > 623C > 214D > j.C > j.623B~D
    • The beginner/netplay route. Note that 6C may whiff if 236C hit at the very tip in which case you could try using 236B~6D to reduce the pushback

Corner

The corner grants allows Izayoi to follow up Astraea with 2C or 6B. The bonus damage these routes offer means that you can be stingier with stocks when you don't have an easy method of regaining them via RC or OD.
1 Stock Conversions:

  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > 6B > 2B > 5C > 623C
    • Works off of any hit and ends in a knockdown
  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > 6B > 236B > 5C > 623C
    • More damaging corner route. Will not end in a knockdown with weak starters like j.AA

2 Stock Conversions:

  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > 2C(1) > 6B > 236B > dl5C > hjc > j.B > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D
    • Optimal (?) route. May not work on all starters in which case you may consider omitting the 2C and shortening the air combo. You may find it easier to use 236B.
  • Confirm > 236B/C~6D > 6B > 5C > jc > j.B > j.C > djc > j.B > j.C > j.623B~D
    • Netplay/Beginner route. The 6B can be tricky to connect in high lag so you may opt to just use the midscreen route anyway.

Overdrive

Izayoi gains a modest damage buff to her Gain Art combos in Overdrive but it's really nothing to write home about. Aside from kill scenarios, the main reasons you want to use OD for are limited to when you need stocks to close out a round or to maximize metered damage. Meterless OD routes outside of the aforementioned contexts aren't really worth it.

Note that if you cancel into Overdrive you only gain 2 stocks starting at 90% health and only gain the maximum of 3 stocks starting at 50% health. If you cancel into Overdrive with more than 90% health, you only gain 1 stock for it!

Some of Izayoi's best punish combos start with raw OD into Phorizor. Total startup is 23f: 16f for OD and 7 for Phorizor. She is invuln for the entire time to boot which allows her to punish slow moves in general.
