Overview

Izuna does what Sol was likely intended to do. With solid fundamentals, useful Skills, powerful Specials, and a well-rounded army, he's perfect for beginners to play in order to acclimate to GG2.

He doesn't really do anything wrong. Conversely, he doesn't do much right. Izuna is a jack-of-all-trades that doesn't compromise anything for strengths or weaknesses, leaving him in a weird spot comapred to much of the cast.

Izuna is a strong, fast character that can oppress enemy Masters and gain momentum during army fights if left unchecked.

 Izuna  Izuna is an all-rounder with strong stalling abilities.

Pros

Cons

• Complete Kit: Useful Skills, strong Specials, fast and versatile normals, and a strong army with the Backyard. Izuna isn't missing anything he might need.
• Damage: He inflicts gargantuan damage, with or without the use of Modern Cancels, letting him shred unaware opponents. He often comes out on top if he can get a single good opening strike on the opponent.
• Stalling: With attacks that freeze enemy Masters and many Down Attacks (including his unique one in 2XX), Izuna can waste an opponent's time while dishing out massive damage in between.
• Fast: Izuna is the only character that can Step twice in any direction, giving him superior mobility.

• Master of None: Izuna is, by no means, a bad character. However, the strengths he does have aren't something other characters can't beat. Sol does better damage, Raven's kit is more versatile, and Valentine can stall even more. While there aren't any big gaps in what he does, there are no shining examples of what defines him, leaving him to use his well-rounded kit against a lop-sided cast.
• Weak Army: Izuna's units tend to have low HP and can be killed by enemy masters very quickly. Izuna's Elite units tend to focus on Crowd Control abilities so they tend to stall fights out rather than win them outright. This means Izuna has to do alot of work himself kind of like Sol does but he doesn't really have all the same strengths as Sol either to make this possible.

Lock-off Attacks

For all of Izuna's attacks keep in mind that the wind VFX are not where his hitboxes are, rather the range of the sword is the range of the attack unless otherwise noted.

Izuna's lock off attacks have some strange niche uses in some advanced techniques.

This attack is a jump cancelable launcher which helps to juggle opponents in Izuna's advanced combos adding alot of flexibility to his routing.

5X2X has better damage and untech time, but F5XY is faster and aimable so it still has it's place as an important combo tool.

This move has a unique property in that it behaves exactly like 5X except that it launches on hit with very low untech time.

F5XXY has all the same followups as 5X if you lock on during your string at any point. Followups include

• 5XX as the safest place to jump cancel or step cancel block pressure.
• 4X > Special/Modern Cancel to continue pressure with a mix-up into an advantage state.
• Step cancel

5XX has the following gatling The special category of cancels that describe how each character can cancel normals into other normals and specials. routes:

• 5XXX which combos and is used in many of Izuna's BnBs

• 2XX can combo for your unique long knockdown.

A slash that can hit multiple opponents. Opens up opportunities for combos after due to high hitstun.

The easiest follow up is to Modern Cancel > 8X > jc > various air combos. Your routes in the air vary depending on what you want (damage, oki, or consistency).

Izuna's fastest lock on attack with wonky range. The first hit is angled mostly to Izuna's right side so an opponent walking to Izuna's left will not get hit.

A special input which does only the first hit of 6X. Due to fast start up and recovery this is best though of as Izuna's jab.

This move can be very useful but aiming it at your opponent takes mastery of free lock-on (L trigger by default) due to situations where standard lock on will miss.

This attack has a short launch that allows for the following combo options:

• F5XY into an air combo.
• 2XX for a fast way to get Izuna's unique long Knockdown.

A sweeping kick that causes knockdown or acts as a mini launcher for Special Cancel or Modern Cancel.

2X has very fast recovery and OTGs so if you want to reset a enemy from knockdown this button is the best way to do so.

This move is so stubby but fast so Lock-On Dash > 2X can be used as a whiff punish in some scenarios. Otherwise you mainly use it in combos.

This move has a unique type of knockdown if the attack lands on a airborne opponent which should naturally happen if 2X hit. The Unique Knockdown that lasts about 7 seconds while still being in a OTG state the whole time.

If the opponent is Frozen they count as Airborne so any Frozen opponent hit by this as the last attack that hits them will come out of Frozen State into the unique long knockdown. Certain combos end with a freeze allowing the combo to hold the enemy Master for long periods of time.

Rolls forward for a good distance then does a upward slash which acts as a jump cancelable launcher with generous untech time.

Easiest way to confirm into this against Masters is to Modern Cancel 5XXX into 8X. From there Izuna has a few different routes for damage or oki.

Air combo fodder with good tracking and good untech time. Important part of Izuna's BnBs and often where his route branches between:

• j.5XX > various routes
• j.Y > 2XX
• delay until you land and quickly do FXY or 5X2X to relaunch into either an air combo or tech chase scenario.

This move can lead to looping tech chase scenarios at certain heights due to the homing on j.5X.

j8X has 2 parts. The multiple physical hits as Izuna comes down and the projectile wave that comes out from where he lands.

Only the physical part of this attack causes knockdown so doing this into a line of enemy Servants is a very effective way to spread alot of damage over any troops in range. It won't always be practical to line up the enemy for this but keep it in mind.

Mash to keep the multiple hits going. Good source of damage but such a high Tension cost that you need to be careful how often you use it.

Lock on Dash into a close range 2X Launches just high enough that you can Special Cancel it into 8Y which will land more hits than a raw grounded 8Y. This combo is good for killing single Servants quickly as it does just enough to 1 shot the weaker ones.

A great way to dump all of your meter into quick damage at the end of a round or to quickly kill enemies close to your Masterghost due to the Tension recovery it provides.

Sends Izuna flying towards the opponent with tracking that will reach opponents at very far ranges only sometimes thrown off by Blast Drive.

Can be interrupted by the opponent attacking. Despite that this move can be a amazing way to close the gap on an opponent that wants to run away.

Launches very high with tons of untech time on hit but has a long recovery. You can modern cancel on hit for a followup combo and on block to start a blockstring.

Izuna creates a freezing aura around him whose range is difficult to figure out. Used in combos to freeze the opponent so you can set up 2XX's long knockdown. Also useful against groups of tightly packed enemies.

Keep in mind the Freeze effect gives the opponent a defense buff so it's more useful for temporarially removing problem targets from the battle than it is about helping combos get damage.

Sends Izuna flying towards the opponent with tracking that will reach opponents at very far ranges only sometimes thrown off by Blast Drive.

Can be interrupted by the opponent attacking. Despite that this move can be a amazing way to close the gap on an opponent that wants to run away.

Launches very high with tons of untech time on hit but has a long recovery. You can modern cancel on hit for a followup combo and on block to start a blockstring.

j.8Y can be angled to travel in a straight line to the targeted enemy unlike 4Y/5Y.

Two average damage slices followed by pillars of energy rising around Izuna that deal 1 big hit of damage. Good for killing a large group of enemies quickly or dealing high damage to a single target.

Summons Dharma. A very useful unit in Master vs Master scenarios as the slow and freeze effects on Dharma's attacks can make it very difficult for the enemy to avoid being hit by Izuna.

The only benefit this move provides is that while you are semi-invisible the enemy Servants won't see you and the Enemy Master cannot lock-on to you.

Since any action besides walking will remove the semi-invisibility and you can still get hit by attacks while semi-invisible; there isn't much reason to use this Skill.

Izuna fires a wide projectile that buffs offense and defense. The timer on the buffs wearing out is paused when a unit is placed in Izuna's inventory so the most popular usage of this move is to use it on Elite Servants like Tengu and Oyuki before picking them up.

A dispel that also cleanses all allies of enemy Debuffs. Overall a very useful skill for certain matchups.
