DNFD/Swift Master

Overview

A Mage who fights with the power of the wind. He is a master at precisely timing skills that interrupt opponents' movements. His rapid movements paired with stationary traps allow for crafty combat. When Awakened, his speed is amplified, allowing for even more piercing attacks.

Swift Master Swift Master Swift is classified as a Gimmicky type. He has fast movement and high mobility. He can use all MP moves while airborne. His moves support his movements while encumbering that of his foe's.

Pros

Cons

Mobility: Swift Master is among the fastest characters in the game outside of awakening, and the absolute fastest within it. He also boasts unmatched aerial mobility thanks to Sonic Move and being able to use every MP Skill while airborne.
Mixup Monster: With an active Wind Orb, Swift Master can access virtually every mixup option in the game, all while being able to select options that are reversal, abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it., and guard cancel safe.
Looping Okizeme: Swift Master's midscreen combo routes lead to a great deal of corner carry, where he can then use his Wind Orb mixup game to setplay and loop into more hard knockdown setups.
MP Efficient: Most MP Skills in Swift Master's arsenal cost less than average, and he regains a lot of MP during Wind Orb combos via juggling with 5S and j.S

Fragile: Swift Master is in the lowest health and guard gauge brackets in the game, making him more susceptible to high damage combos and guard break pressure.

Creates four small hurricane-like projectiles that spin around swift-master for a duration, while he's free to move and attack freely after the animation ends. When the wind comes in contact with an opponent, it will hit them consecutively, with each projectile dealing 1 hit and being consumed. The projectiles can absorb and will beat most projectiles that come in touch with them, serving as a barrier protecting Swift Master .

Some projectiles done at a vertical or specific diagonal angle may be able to circumvent the wind barriers.

This move can be performed as long as 4M projectiles are still active. Swift Master will detonate his remaining Wind Twists, turning them into giant, highly active active and multihitting tornados.

Launches the opponent high in the air and hard knockdowns. A great combo ender/filler, even if overall very MP costly.
Swift Master himself is locked into the animation for a long time, making this move easily whiff punishable and very unsafe on block.
