Overview
Overview

Despite what Ky normally is in Guilty Gear, he strays very far from the role of a shoto in this game. While Ky's loopable strings can be powerful many of them are punishable or don't combo. Doing even basic combos and blockstrings as Ky requires knowing how his various normals uniquely string together (as an example, Trying to press 5XXX with Ky isn't a combo on Masters unless you hit them in the back, from the front he must do something like 5X > ~2X > ~4X > ~6X > ~2X > j.c > j.5XXX instead).

Ky's primary weakness is his lack of high damage AoE attacks outside his purchasable Skill 'Charged Stun Edge' which leaves him reliant on Tension if he wants to quickly clear crowds mid/late game. Illyria also has the strongest yet most expensive Servants. While this allows Ky to rely on his Tribe for killing Servants, Ky has to be smart about how he places them around the map while defending them as well as each one is a large investment.


Ky has access to some crazy setups, some very good damage, and one of the only other functional DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.s in Vapor Thrust, granted it's armor A property which lets a move continue when hit by a set number of moves (usually taking reduced damage). rather than invul Short for InvulnerabilityA state where a character cannot be hit. A common component of reversal moves. in this game. He's Sol's rival for a reason.

Ky Kiske is unlocked by completing the Campaign on any difficulty.

 Ky Kiske  Ky Kiske is a character with damaging combos, strong mix ups, and good neutral but lacks AoE damage compared to what most other characters can do.

Pros
Cons
  • Strong Combos: While not as damaging as Sol, Ky's routing is consistent. So long as he knows how to convert the hit that he gets, he can make anything hurt.
  • Specials: Every single one of Ky's Specials is phenomenal. Stun Edge is a great combo tool and poke against Masters, Vapor Thrust is high damage and leads to a MC for an air combo, Stun Dipper is a good MC point while the second hit ends combos, and Holy Brand allows Ky to control crowds while simultaneously fighting an enemy Master. Every move he has serves a purpose.
  • Conserves Tension: If Ky is willing to give up damage, both Stun Edge and Stun Dipper (1st hit) cost less than a normal Special and let Ky save his Tension for a better hit later on in the same fight. As such, Ky generally has more longevity than other fighters, and can bounce between multiple consecutive battles more easily.
  • Ride the Lightning: If Tyrant Rave is the best single-target Overdrive, this is the best multi-target Overdrive. Not only does Ride the Lightning inflict massive damage on hit, it pushes through an insane amount of enemies, allowing Ky to wipe out entire roads of Servants if he angles it properly. While it is difficult to combo into, Ky isn't a stranger to this.
  • Cheap as Hell: Ky can easily Guard Break the opponent with his blockstrings. He also has the most ways to get behind someone during pressure and hit them from angles they can't block. Combine that with Ky's good neutral game and the opponent won't want to be anywhere near Ky.
  • Close-range Combos: Ky's high damage combos are very range-dependent. Moves that help Ky close the gap often need a good chunk of meter to convert off of.
  • Low AoE Damage: By virtue of his combos involving him spinning around a single opponent Ky has trouble dealing with large numbers of enemy troops as quickly as other characters can. Both his Overdrive 'Ride the Lightning" and his Skill 'Charged Stun Edge' help patch this hole in his kit, but they are expensive and situational.
  • Illyria: While Illyria has the strongest Servants of any Tribe they are also the most expensive. This combined with Ky's lack of AoE damage means Ky has to focus on defending them or else Ky won't be able to keep up with his opponent.

Lock-Off Attacks

These are all basically worse versions of Ky's lock on moves. F8X might be useful for it's high guard damage and as a jump cancelable launcher.

Ky hits the enemy with his Elbow for high hitstun When a character is hit while standing or crouching, the defender is forced into a stun animation for a set period of time where they are vulnerable to further attacks. This period of time is called hitstun. and blockstun When a character successfully blocks an attack while standing or crouching, the defender is forced into a stun animation for a set period of time where they are incapable of acting. This period of time is called blockstun.. One of the fastest moves in the game and a staple part of Ky's close range pressure.

Follow-ups:

  • 5X can be link To perform a second action after the first action completely finishes its animation.ed into from due to 2X's long hitstun. Just be careful not to hit 5X to fast or you get 2XX

Ky takes a step forward and does a kick like his 6K from older Guilty Gear games.

You will probably only get this on accident while trying to link 2X into 5X. If so at least 2XX still combos but you aren't getting anything else off of this without Modern Cancel.

This move looks exactly like Forward Kick but don't be fooled it does less damage and has no followups

One of Ky's better techniques for dealing damage to multiple Servants as the Hitbox is a small circle around Ky as he moves.

Follow-ups:

  • ~2X for Vacuum which does not combo on Masters.
  • ~5X for Forward Kick which does not combo on Masters.

Looping Strings
