BBTag/Celica A. Mercury

Overview

"I'll protect you a billion!"

Lore:

Celica Ayatsuki Mercury, sometimes known as "Sister" or "Little Sister" is the younger and only sister of Nine the Phantom. She is an excellent and notable sorcerer, and was one of the few who had crafted an acme in the form of healing magic. After surviving the infamous Dark War, Celica became a nun and looked after Ragna the Bloodedge , Jin Kisaragi, and Saya. She was partially revived by Kokonoe through a copy of her soul placed inside a cloned body of her previous self, (aka. Chrono Phantasma). Kokonoe then constructed a copy of Nirvana for Celica named Ex Machina: Minerva. Minerva is an automaton that protects and amplifies Celica's powers and is recognized beside her at all times.

Playstyle

Celica A. Mercury
Pros	Cons
Has easy crossups in her B Autocombo. Good solo damage regardless of enhanced state Very strong grounded midrange pokes Very good at stopping assists Minerva A normals are not affected by counters DP cannot be safejumped	B Autocombo isn't safe on block. 5BBB is not a true blockstring either, meaning she can be punished inbetween hits. Her 4P is extremely niche and can't be used on many teams Chip damage takes her out of enhanced state instantly denying her the ability to play at max capability often Very weak in the air

Healing and Powered Up Specials

When Celica has no red health, her specials do more damage and hitstun. Celica can also recover red health by herself by either finishing her 5B auto combo, or using her EX healing move. These moves can even heal Celica when she has no red health!

Not as useful as it was in CF due to not being able to microdash with it in stagger pressure. Although it is still useful as a short range mash button since it is 6 frames

5A - Her best normal arguably, being 8 frames and hitting really far lets her control the midrange well and can convert into combos at almost all ranges, she also goes notably farther than other characters when inputting 6A. The downside is that this comes with an enormous hurtbox allowing to the opponent to counterpoke her very easily

5AA - Combo fodder mostly, good for stabilizing routes since it brings airborne enemies down to the ground and bounces them

5AAA - extremely rare to be used not much use since 5B exists

5B

5B- Celica's anti air, it has a very large hitbox hitting in front, above and behind her. It has extremely late head invulnerability so anti air attempts need to be done earlier than most and much like 5A comes with a nasty hurtbox that can get counterpoked. This is her main way of going into her B autocombo outside of combos since it is whiff cancelable

5BB- Auto crossup at close range and projectile invincible it is pretty much the only followup used on whiff during her B autocombo, there is however no way to go into this move gaplessly without having an assist ready to cover her

5BBB - Auto combo ender, on hit it will always transition Celica into a healing animation if it is not special canceled, used in combos mainly to start 214A loops

A very niche use assists that doesn't come into play much outside of her best teams, Unlike Yukiko's the point will get healed no matter how far away they are from Celica but in so will make the assist not last as long. It is mainly seen when Celica's partner has an unburstable move that they can go into easily while also being able set up Cross Combo after the assist is done

A solid Super which can corner steal regardless if it connects on hit or block. However, due to how long it leaves Celica vulnerable, it is usually best used with an assist to lock the opponent in place if Celica is cornered and taking tons of pressure or as her combo ender if you have meter. Depending on when you DHC from this, you can either keep the opponent in the corner, or steal the corner.
