Vaseraga is a heavy character who intimidates his foes with huge normals, armor, and impressive damage output. Vasaraga swings his weight around like a sledgehammer, crushing all who stand in his way. Despite his daunting appearance, Vaseraga definitely plays a slower, more patient neutral game, especially against characters with strong projectiles or the ability to remain outside of his effective range, such as Ferry and Metera.
"Great Scythe Grynoth! Let your soul shape my blade!" | |
Lore: | This towering Draph warrior belongs to the Society, an organization which hunts primal beasts. He has formed a contract with the seal weapon known as Great Scythe Grynoth. The intimidating size of his blade and his immunity to pain sap opponents of their will to fight. Though his somber bearing and curt speech can make him seem unapproachable, he is in fact a calm, kind person who will always go out of his way to help those in need. |

Vaseraga Vaseraga is a mid-range control character with explosive damage and a unique toolkit of armor gimmicks.
- High Damage Output: Savage Rampage followups and 2H grant excellent combo damage especially in the corner.
- Consistent Knockdowns: Vaseraga's 2M, 2U, 22X~H, 22X~M, and Great Scythe Grynoth (GSG) all provide knockdowns under a diverse set of circumstances which allow him to safely set up Soul Forge or okizeme.
- Armor: Some of Vaseraga's moves can be given limited armor by Soul Forge which enables Vaseraga to punish many options in the mid-range, makes Savage Rampage less risky, and makes punishing jump ins with 2[H] much more safe.
- Strong Command Throw: Vaseraga's Great Scythe Grynoth is a potent command throw that can also be used during Savage Rampage. This can put the opponent into very messy situations.
- Space Control: 2H, 22X~, and Vaseraga's Pokes provide good ways to control screen space.
- Button Priorities: Vaseraga has better priorities compared to the rest of the cast, giving him better chances in challenging his opponent's buttons.
- High Health: Tied with Ladiva for highest health in the game. Combined with his armor, this enables Vaseraga to survive more punishment and take more potentially rewarding risks.
- Slow Movement Speed: Vaseraga's walk/run speed are the slowest in the game. This can make it hard to catch your opponent in certain situations.
- Slow Attacks: Vaseraga does not have access to a 5f normal, and his normals are generally all 1 to 9 frames slower than the normals of other characters.
- Reliance on Knockdowns. A lot of his effective game plan and powerful tools rely on either having set up Soul Forge, or making the opponent blocking or attempting to block.
- Armor Loses to Multi-hitting Attacks: Soul Forge's armor can be beaten by any move that hits 3 times in rapid succession and even some moves that don't, including but not limited to: Most H Fireballs, most H DPDragon PunchA move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motions, and Lowain's H Parry.
- Lack of a Reliable Reversal: Vaseraga lacks a DP-style move, his Skybound Art is slow, and his Super Skybound Art has a guard point without invulnerability. This means getting cornered can be fatal.
