HAYDEN, THE WANNABE PHANTOM TROUPE MEMBER! | Strike Supers Build for Namekians!

Season 1, Character Build #3
Hello and welcome back, Auggie here, with another character build, and more combos for you guys. This time we will be going over the namekian striker build, which focuses on chaining strike supers. I should mentioned that this build is a little more complicated to use than my previous builds, but still a ton of fun. Just remember that it takes a lot of practice to get the most of this build. Providing today's demonstration is Hayden, A wannabe phantom troupe member who never grew out of his "phase"


Gear

My namek reminds me of an evil version of piccolo

Lets start by going over the gear, the QQ bang focuses on health, ki, stamina, and strike supers. It was made with the five star Dragonball Costume and the Z fighting suit with a senzu bean sprout.  super soul is "Now its my turn" which you can get from the TP medal shop. It lengthens the time of stamina breaks, which will help you pull off more complex combos. Since doing stamina break combos can be difficult, with this build you can use this super soul, or  "You're just pieces in a game" super soul, if you want. It will strengthen your strike supers by 20%

Stats

These aren't optimal stats, feel free to change the stamina and basic attacks as much as you like

For Hayden's stats, I focused on health, strike supers, and basic attacks. I didn't both with other three, as the QQ bang gives you seven bars of ki, and eight bars of stamina, and we will not be using ki blast supers in this build.

Skills

Here's a quick look at the skills: 
Rough Ranger is here for defense, you can use all clear or evil whirlwind
  • Ki Blast Cannon
  • Super Dragon Flight
  • Super God Fist
  • Rough Ranger
  • Spirit Sword
  • Instant Severance
  • Potential Unleashed
  • Vanisher Guard
 Here's a overlook of the Skills
  • Ki Blast Cannon fires a weak shock wave that does poor damage. Against normal state opponents, it does a knock back. Against opponents in a knock back or infinite state, it provides massive hit stun. This skill will be used as a linker to our other supers.

  • Super Dragon Flight is a powerful upper cut with a moderate startup time. Against opponents in a normal state, it does a knock up. Against opponents in a knock back or infinite state, it does a knock back. The great thing about this move is that you can cancel it into other supers.

  • Super God Fist is a fast punch in the face that does respectable damage. It can be easily combo into from basic attacks. Use this to make your opponent is not afraid to blink when they have the chance.

  • Rough Ranger will be your defensive move, if your opponent is being aggressive. It counters anything. basic Attacks, ki blast supers and strike supers, ultimate's, and even transformations. If you are far away from your opponent, it will create a barrier around you and block it. If your are close up, you will kick them away into a knock back. This can work when your opponent closes in on you with a aura dash.

  • Spirit Sword is great for catching opponents of guard. Its also a flashy way to finish off your opponent.

  • Instant Severance can be combo into after a light stamina break. I does respectable damage and is more reliable than spirit sword.

  • Potential unleashed will be your transformation will be . This will buff your damage and ki regeneration.

  • Vanisher guard will be Your evasive, to accommodate the new meta being limit bursts and power rush.

 Here's a look at the Combos
  1. Black Spider Cannon (two button knock, follow-up, light attack, ki blast cannon, charged heavy, heavy stamina break, instant severance, super god fist)
  2. The Flying Spider (aura dash, charged heavy, z-vanish, ki blast cannon, heavy stamina break, instant severance) 1 to 4 light, 2 heavy, bounce, ki blast cannon
  3. 5 light, 3 heavy bounce, ki blast cannon combos
  4. Heavy, Light, Heavy, Light, Heavy, Bounce Ki Blast Cannon Combos
  5. Fangs of the Phantom Troupe Combo (two button knock back, follow, light attack, ki blast cannon, super dragon flight, super god fist)

Strategy

The strategy for this build is very different from my other builds. Most of the time your damage will come gradually from the match instead of at the end with a flashy instant kill. Instead of going for a stamina break first thing you can, work to reduce your opponents stamina, and keep it low by pressuring them constantly. Once they drop below two bars, waste their health bit by bit with your combos. Only go for a stamina break when you know can take them out. If your opponent isn't blinking out of your combos to conserve stamina, use basic attack into super god fist to punish them. Use rough ranger when necessary to defend yourself. Having a very good mastery of the basic game mechanics, along with your namekian health regeneration. The main drawback of this build is the fact that some of the combos are complex and can be hard to pull off. Mastering these combos, and the stamina break ones will take practice. The main strength of this build is that you can still play effectively without stamina breaks and long combo chains. Just sticking to the main combos will work well.

End

That's all for this post, I hope you enjoyed it. This build was a lot of fun to play if you like chaining together flashy, namekian combos. Like I said, It will take practice to make the most out of it. My next build post will be my female Saiyan ki blast build. I don't have a name for it yet, but it will be very easy to use, like my male Saiyan ki blast supers build was. It will have a cool two ultimate in it. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time.

FRIEZA BLACK, THE COSMOS RAVAGER! | Xenoverse 2 ,Ki Blast Supers Build for Frieza Race!

 Season 1, Character Build #2

Hello and welcome back, Auggie here, this will be the second installment in the build tutorial series. Each build post will be race and gender specific. Each combo I teach you can be applied to any character. Today, we will be going over what I call the "Shattered Psyche of the Wicked Frost Demon" Build. It uses Finishing blow to setup a two ultimate combo. Providing today's demonstration is Frieza Black, the opposite of Frieza, but more deranged and broken.

Overview

Gear

Lets start with the gear. The super soul I'm using is "A monster? No, I'm a devil!" You can get this Super Soul from PQ 47. This super soul allows you to have eight bars of Ki at the beginning of the match. Remember, stats don't affect your damage too much in this game. This means that starting the match with full Ki and being able to do your high damage supers and ultimate's from the beginning is better in the long run than super souls that will give you a buff to your damage. The QQ bang I'm using was made with Goku's tracksuit and Towa's clothes, with a senzu beansprout. The boost to Ki and Ki Blast Supers are the main benefit here.

You can use before "creation comes destruction" or "this heat, will be your downfall!" super souls for extra damage or  regain ki if you are good with perfect blocking
I would suggest splitting both ki and stamina evenly at 42 exact. Put the rest of into basic attacks



Stats/Attributes
Now for the stats. A max of 125 points into ki blast supers, and into health are for sustainability. It helps make up for the penalty from the QQ bang. Ki and stamina are split to give you eight bars each, which pairs well with the super soul.

If you dont like how finishing blow works, you can replace it with meteor blow, riot javelin with a super of your choice
Skills
Here's a quick look at the skills:
  • Evil Whirlwind 
  • Finishing Blow
  • Rough Ranger
  • Riot Javelin
  • Warp Kamehameha
  • Super Black Kamehameha
  • Turn Golden
  • Vanisher Guard
Overlook of the skills

  • Evil Whirlwind will be used as defense. It can be used when blocking. use this against aggressive opponents.

  • Finishing Blow is weak strike super move. When up close, you will either teleport behind or in front of your opponent. its great to use when your opponent is blocking, as you will instantly vanish right behind them, and be in position to counter attack.

  • Rough Ranger is a strike super counter skill. This will be your defensive move, if your opponent is being aggressive. It counters basic Attacks, ki blast supers and strike supers, ultimate's, even transformations.

  • Riot Javelin is a ki blast super move that does mediocre damage when you have high health. If you are below 25% (danger) it will do more than 8000 damage! You this when your low on health, and try to surprise your opponent with it to do big damage!

  • Warp Kamehameha will be your follow up after a stamina break.It takes 4 bars of ki to use. It does less damage than super black kamehameha though.

  • Super Black Kamehameha will be your main follow up after finishing blow. It does great damage in golden form.

  • Turn Golden will be your transformation. You get a speed boost and a 30% damage increase in ki blast supers skills. It also changes how your ki blasts work.

  • Vanisher guard will be Your evasive, to accommodate the new meta being limit bursts and power rush.

Here's a look at the Combos
  1. 4 to 5 Heavy Attacks, Charged Ki Blast (in Golden Form)
  2. Evil Whirlwind, Charged Ki Blast (not a true combo)
  3. Knock back, Light Attack, Light Stamina Break, Super Black Kamehameha
  4. Knock back, Light Attack, Light Stamina Break, Heavy Stamina Break, Super Black Kamehameha
  5. Knock back, Light Attack, Light Stamina Break, Evil Whirlwind, Warp Kamehameha 
  6. Aura Burst Attack Ultimate Counter, Super Black Kamehameha
  7. Aura Burst Attack Ultimate Counter, Evil Whirlwind Warp Kamehameha
  8. SHATTERED PSYCHE



EXAMPLE OF THE SHATTERED PSYCHE COMBO





Strategy

Now lets go over the strategy for the "Shattered Psyche of the Wicked Frost Demon" Build. When the match starts, you can transform to golden form, if you want. The first part of the fight is just like any other match, trying to get your opponent under two bars of stamina, before they do the same to you. You will be doing this with basic attacks, so make sure to do that with 4-5 heavy attacks for maximum damage. Use rough ranger as needed but don't force yourself otherwise, you will just waste ki. Be sure to block and counter with evil whirlwind if the opponent is pressuring you. If your is blocking to much, use finishing blow to get behind your opponent and attack. If your health is low, (under 25%) pop your limit burst (you will have super armor) and use riot javelin. Once you get your opponent under two bars of stamina, its time for the ultimate finishing blow/knock back combos. If your opponents are still alive, there easy pickings for evil whirlwind, golden form charged ki blasts, and rough ranger.

Final Thoughts

That's all for this post, I hope you enjoyed reading it. My next post, I'll be going over my Strike Supers Namekian build. It has some really cool combos in it. And I'll see you next time.

Lets start with the gear, the QQ Bang increases Health, Stamina, and Basic Attacks. These are important components to this build. This was made with Bardock's Battle Suit and Beerus's clothes, and a Senzu Bean Sprout. The Super Soul is Right then... Let's begin the experiment! What it does, is when your health is above 75%, It will boost the amount of Ki restored, and a increase in Ki Blast-based skills. This will negate the Ki drain from SSGSS, and restore Ki faster with Meditation. You can get this Super Soul from PQ 121.



Stats

For the Stats, I put 41 into Health, 84 into Stamina (this will give you nine bars of stamina with the QQ Bang), and 125 into Basic Attacks and Ki Blast Supers, and 0 into Ki and Strike Supers (with the QQ Bang, you will have Seven Bars of Ki). With your transformation, SSGSS, your stamina will recharge faster than any other transformation.

Skills

Here's a quick look at the skills:
  • Murder Grenade
  • Big Bang Kamehameha
  • Rough Ranger 
  • Meditation 
  • Final Kamehameha
  • Mystic Flash
  • Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan
  • Energy Field

Here's a overlook of the Skills

  • Murder Grenade is a Ki Blast Super that can be combo into from basic attacks and does decent damage.

  • Big Bang Kamehameha is a Ki Blast Super that can be combo into from basic attacks into a knock back combo when transformed. It should be only be used when transformed, as it allows you to teleport to your opponent when fully charged.

  • Rough Ranger is a Strike Super Counter skill. This will be your defensive move, if your opponent is being aggressive. It counters anything, really. Basic Attacks, Ki Blast Supers and Strike Supers,  Ultimate's,and even transformations. If you are far away from your opponent, it will create a barrier around you and block anything. This barrier can be canceled once you press button again. If your are close up, you will kick them away into a knock back. This can work when your opponent closes in on you with a aura dash.

  • Meditation is a Power-Up skill. If you hold down the button for meditation, you will go from your current bars of Ki to ten bars of Ki. You will additionally get one minute of long Ki regeneration. This will completely negate  the SSGSS Ki drain. This pairs well with your Super Soul. 

  • Final Kamehameha is your flashy Ki Blast Ultimate and Finisher. It does big damage, and you must combo into it with a light guard break. It takes five bars of Ki to use, keep that in mind. 

  • Mystic Flash is a Ki Blast Ultimate that shoots in the opposite direction you are facing. It does not need to be combo into. This will be your counter move. It will be used against opponents who like to Z-vanish out of your automatic combo strings.

  • Super Saiyn God Super Saiyan will be your transformation, you will need five bars of ki to activate it. As you already know, this transformation drains Ki. Use Meditation at the beginning of every match. It is mandatory to do so, if you plan on being in the transformation longer than a minute. 
  • Energy Field will be your Evasive. It takes three bars of stamina to use it. It can block ANY skill in the game. You can keep the barrier up as you hold down the evasive button, It will drain ki as you do this. Keep in mind to only use every once in a while, use it to get out of combo strings, and do NOT excessively use this skill.


 Here's a look at the Combos

  1. Basic Attacks, Murder Grenade (X X X X X LT + Y]
  2. Basic Attacks, Stamina Break, Knock Back, Big Bang Kamehameha [ X X X X X X LS + X Y+B  LT+X]
  3. Basic Attacks, Stamina Break, Murder Grenade, Big Bang Kamehameha [X X X X X X LS+X LT+Y LT+X] 
  4. Ways to get off Meditation 
  5. The Vegeta Kick combo [ X X X X X X X Y X Y]

  9. CRUSHING PILLAR OF THE GODS [RS+X LT+Y RT+LT Y]

Examples of the Vegeta Kick and Crushing Pillar of Gods Combos

Strategy 

A strategy for this build is simple, start the match by trying to knock back your opponent away so you can use Meditation. You will be gaining Ki incredibly fast, remember to transform when you have five bars.  Once you have five bars of Ki, transform into SSGSS. At this point, you want to lower your opponents stamina below two bars and perform the Crushing Pillar of the gods combo. This should end the match, or come close to it. The Vegeta Kick is your bread and butter combo when you do not have enough Ki to perform the Crushing Pillar of the Gods combo. Use Rough Ranger and Mystic Flash for defense, as needed. If you get  If Meditation runs out, do a knock back combo. Final Kamehameha is just for fun and for some combos. The main advantage of this build is that your doing a lot of your damage from basic attacks, and little help from your Ki Blast Supers. The only drawback to this build is the lack of flexibility and burst damage, and the fact that it can get boring after awhile.

Ending

That's all for this post. Male Saiyans have disproportionately high heavy attack damage, and this build takes advantage of that. My next build post will be on a Instant kill Frieza Race which has a pretty cool two ultimate combo in it and one of the best stamina breaks in the game. Thanks for reading, and goodbye.
