Overview

 Inquisitor  Inquisitor is classified as a Traps type. She has various moves that shut down the opponent and control space by restricting movement. She is capable of dealing special damage through Burning Hit.

Pros

Cons

• Prolonged Lockdown: Inquisitor's infamous Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 keeps opponents blocking and taking high amounts of chip for almost three full seconds. She also has Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37 which acts as a less MP-intensive and much safer alternative.
• Explosive Reversal: Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26 is one of the strongest reversals in the game. It hits all around Inquisitor and can be a combo starter if the opponent is doused with Essence.
• Forceful Approach: With multiple long-reaching air attacks and her unique Cut-in DashGuard-Startup0Recovery25Advantage-, Insquisitor can approach very suddenly to punish pokes. Additionally, Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37 locks down opponents long enough to close the gap.

• Frail: Tied for the lowest health in the game at 850 HP, Inquisitor is afforded less mistakes than her competitors, relying on her stronger defensive options and safer pressure to compensate.
• MP Glutton: Inquisitor's MP Specials require high amounts of MP, with Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 costing 90 MP and Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26 being the only reversal To perform an attack as soon as possible after getting knocked down or leaving hitstun/blockstun. MP Special in the game that costs 80 MP. This is massively improved once her Awakening Effect is active, but initially it can make many of her options restrictive.

Inquisitor's 4S on hit inflicts the Essence debuff for ?? seconds.

If any incinerating move is used while an opponent is doused in Essence, it will ignite, dealing an additional 50 damage over ?? seconds. Essence can be re-applied during this time to prolong the fire for additional damage.

Awakening Effect: activates when entering Awakening mode at 30% HP or less. MP recovery after using an MP move begins instantly upon MP Special activation. This completely overrides the reduction from using motion inputs (e.g. 214M instead of 4M), giving zero penalty for using faster, easier inputs.

Invincible reversal.

Very rewarding reversal for its high damage and strong okizeme position on any hit. On incineration, it launches the opponent very far, giving time to OTG The act of hitting the opponent when they are knocked down. Short for "off the ground" or "on the ground.", set up stronger okizeme, or even combo if near enough to the corner.

This also makes for an excellent combo ender with its high damage and forced knockdown. If Inquisitor is spaced out of the corner, it even pulls an opponent out of the corner to allow her Cut-in DashGuard-Startup0Recovery25Advantage- to cross-up.

• Incinerates opponents doused in Essense.
• If initial hit connects, begins cinematic hit.

Setplay for huge Guard Gauge damage.

Shuts down the opponent for a comically long time, usually to hammer the opponent's Guard Gauge with 5A > 5AA > 5B > 5S while still remaining plus enough to reset pressure. This can even be cancelled into another Burning Wheel to increase the Guard Gauge damage. With enough MP, this can easily secure a Guard Break, while launching up for easy combos. However, it is extremely slow, requiring good knockdowns to set it up.

Ironically, this move is not particularly useful as far as mixups go. There are zero gaps, making it impossible to hit with a Throw or cross-up from Cut-in BashGuardMidStartup12Recovery35Advantage-16. It also automatically burns up any Essense, making it impossible to set up Essense during Burning Wheel.

• If the wheel fully expires without using another MP special, much of its original cost is restored, lowering the effective cost:
  • 4M costs 75 total MP
  • 214M costs 65 total MP
  • During Awakening, both versions cost 45 total MP.
