DNFD/Enchantress

From Dustloop Wiki

Overview

Overview

Enchantress is a highly technical puppet character that uses MP to control her doll, Madd, for tandem pressure.

She is a well-rounded character that has access to strong pokes, several projectile options for zoning, and a very strong mixup game from her fast fall high/low via j.M cancels complemented by her devastating 214M command grab.

Her primary goal in neutral is focused on controlling space with her array of projectiles while pushing the opponent towards the corner. Gaining space allows her to safely use 4S or 5S conversion cancel where she can run in behind it to cover her approach and stay plus on block. Once in the corner, she can start doing devastating mixups and also leverage the corner for potent Madd pressure as it is much easier to keep him on top of the opponent compared to midscreen.

Enchantress' main weakness lies in her heavy MP consumption. Due to Showtime!DNFD Enchantress 5M.pngGuard-Startup0Recovery20Advantage- draining MP over time, it also prevents Enchantress from regenerating mana passively and during combos, forcing her to wait and stockpile a lot of Mana before going on the offensive. While she is also very powerful in the corner, the damage and okizeme rewards from her midscreen confirms are rather limited, especially compared to her corner output.

 Enchantress is classified as a Gimmicky type. She has many ranged attacks and can steal MP from the opponent, all while simultaneously controlling her puppet, Madd, for powerful coordinated attacks.

Pros
Cons
  • MP Steal: HarvestDNFD Enchantress 236M.pngGuardMidStartup25Recovery28Advantage-4 can uniquely pressure the opponent by draining their mana on hit.
  • Doll-like: Due to her diminutive stature, Enchantress has a smaller hurtbox than most characters and can run under some projectiles as well as make moves whiff completely by crouching.
  • Conversionless Mixups: By doing a kara cancel A type of cancel where the beginning of an action is quickly canceled into another before the first action completes its startup. j.S~j.M, Enchantress can briefly stall herself midair to create a High-Low mixup, and fully combo on hit. She can also use her Command Grab Keep Away!DNFD Enchantress 214M.pngGuardThrowStartup18Recovery40Advantage-, which is immune to Throw Break and is able to perform huge combos in the corner.
  • Teleport Dodge: Enchantress' Dodge Roll is unique in that it cannot be grabbed, allowing her to escape from setups that might grab a standard roll.
  • Frail: Tied for the lowest health in the game at 900 HP, Enchantress is not given any special treatment on defense and must use her pokes to keep herself safe.
  • MP Countdown: During Showtime!DNFD Enchantress 5M.pngGuard-Startup0Recovery20Advantage-, MP will be spent continuously and cannot recover, forcing Enchantress to stockpile MP to get the most out of Madd.

Madd is an enchanted doll that follows Enchantress.
When Showtime!DNFD Enchantress 5M.pngGuard-Startup0Recovery20Advantage- is active, Madd is able to move indepdenently of Enchantress, and each of Enchantress' MP Skills during this mode will be performed by Madd, regardless how far apart they may be. Madd can also be teleported to a specific location when Showtime!DNFD Enchantress 5M.pngGuard-Startup0Recovery20Advantage- or And, Scene!DNFD Enchantress 5M 5M.pngGuard-Startup0Recovery20Advantage- is activated mid-air based on the direction input, allowing Enchantress to set up Madd in favourable position.

However, during Showtime!, Madd can also be attacked, preventing Enchantress performing any MP Skills with Madd for a short moment.

Enchantress gains control of her puppet, Madd, which is moved by forward and backwards inputs. Her M move inputs change properties while Showtime! is active. Showtime! will automatically end when Enchantress is attacked or when she runs out of MP.

  • Drains Enchantress' MP over time while active.
  • Showtime does not end when Madd is hit by the opponent.

Ground

Due to the move's low recovery, it can be used to effectively maintain pressure or extend combos via canceling normals or special moves.


Air

The jumping version of 5M. Functionally identical, it activates/deactivates Madd, however takes way less time to perform than its grounded counterpart. While on its own, the move does not affect air momentum, it can be {kara-cancelled from j.S which freezes all air momentum. Combined with the minimal total duration, this gives way to tricky air options and even an Instant Overhead with j.A.

  • Holding forward or backward during the input will affect the position that Madd is placed in.
  • The air version can cancel into itself to quickly reposition Madd without going through the move's recovery.
