| overview = Android 17 is a fast, heavy mix-up based character that possesses a combination of various mobility options and rekka moves that grants him an overall constant pressure, fantastic mix-up and unorthodox combo routes that lead to very high damage. With just an assist and half a bar to hand, an unscaled starter can lead to colossal punishment, and he will continue chasing you after you get back up with Accel Driver and Finishing Driver; two rekkas with a huge tray of different follow-ups, that give 17 colossal option select prowess, and allow him to mow down the opponent merely through catching them blindly. He provides brilliant synergy to a team with his assists, versatile for offense, defense, and B notably charging up his EZ-bake knockdown Power Blitz. With such tremendous strengths, it makes sense that 17 is contrasted by being one of the least beginner friendly characters in FighterZ, with lackluster range, coupled with the arduous task of having to learn all the different Driver follow ups. 17 is a character that takes many, many hours to learn, but those hours reward you with possibly the most terrifying mixup monster the game has to offer.

| lore = Android 18's younger twin brother. Forcibly turned into a cyborg alongside his sister by Dr. Gero for the purpose of destroying Son Goku, he rebelled and killed Dr Gero with little effort. Despite being free from the doctor's demands, both 17 and 18, along with the reactivated Android 16, continued in their task in killing Son Goku just for the entertainment. 17 was then absorbed by Imperfect Cell, but was later revived by Shenron after Cell's defeat. With Goku gone and the world at peace for the time, Android 17 became a park ranger in order to preserve nature and wildlife. Many years later, 17 finds himself with the Z Fighters again after being recruited by Son Goku to join in the Tournament of Power as one of Universe 7's strongest warriors, with 17 ultimately winning the tournament as the last remaining fighter.

* Basic 6-frame jab.
A stationary jab with very poor horizontal range.
* Good vertical range, but very poor horizontal range
You can {{clr|L|4LL}} to perform it twice in a row, making this a good tool for stagger pressure, but you'll often have to dash to get in range for it.
 
Good frame data, bad range. Make up for this with his {{clr|L|5LL}}, which will most certainly connect if this move were to miss, which does happen on occasion.

whiffing.
The forbidden starter. The fastest {{clr|L|5LL}} in the game with great forward momentum to boot, which means you win in any {{clr|M|6M}} clash situation.
 
Its speed allows it combo from {{clr|L|2L}} even if {{clr|L|5L}} whiffs.

* Lunges forward and strikes with both his fists.
17 jumps and swings his arms at you. This move's noteworthy for allowing air special cancels on block, enabling his mixup between {{MMC|input=j.214H|label={{clr|H|j.214H}}}} ~ {{MMC|input=Gear 2L|label={{clr|L|2L}}}} and {{MMC|input=j.236H|label={{clr|H|j.236H}}}} with an assist.
* Considered airborne and has invul to low attacks.
 
* Tracks the opponent.
*In the corner, you can link into a {{clr|L|j.L}} for optimal combos.
Very situational normal. {{clr|L|5LLL}} gives 17 airborne cancel options, which means you can mix with j236H/j214H instead of needing to go into {{clr|H|2H}}. Can be linked into jL in the corner.

* Lunges forward about 1/4 of the screen.
A fast and far-reaching {{clr|M|5M}}, one of 17's best normals. Generally -5 or better, letting 17 safely reset pressure back into {{clr|L|5L}} if he's in range. The forward advancing properties also make his {{clr|M|2M}} > {{clr|M|5M}} combos very reliable, even if he doesn't go for them much. {{clr|M|5M}} is also 17's go-to starter due to how grounded his combos are.

* Good move for setting up rekka combos and pressure.
Cancelling this into {{clr|S|5S}} builds a respectable amount of space and its blockstun allows for true strings or easy frametraps into {{clr|L|236L}}. This is his main way to combo into his rekkas, being {{clr|M|236M}} midscreen and {{clr|L|214L}} in the corner.

You can also use it at close and mid range, as here 17 can follow up 1 or 2 ki blasts with {{clr|H|3H}} to start a combo or a blockstring.

17 can actually chain his Ki Blast into a low ({{clr|H|3H}}) which can blow up opponents trying to reflect it and frame trap at the same time.

* {{clr|M|5M}} is typically a better starter thanks to 17's combo structure.
While normally quite good, {{clr|M|2M}} > {{clr|M|5M}} heavily limits 17's combo options relative to the rest of the cast. {{clr|M|5M}} also has much better range, so use that instead if at all possible. It does have some uses in building space between 17 and his opponent as it is one of his very few moves that doesn't push him forwards.

* Doing this after {{clr|H|j.2H}} boosts Android 17's height by a substantial amount.
Easily one of the best ki blasts in the game, but not for the reasons you may think. Rather than serving as a solid neutral tool or aerial poke (it can still do both of these things decently), it has a solid amount of hitstun, making it a great combo tool, and the meter it builds is ''unholy''. Filling three of these into a combo before either a H-Second Gear or Power Blitz is a nice way to squeeze in quite a lot of extra meter. If you happen to be in Sparking!, 17 turns into a Cadbury's factory when it comes to building bar, efficiently gaining 7 bars which he is then free to expend on his tools, or for massive DHC damage. Use this move, use it a lot.

Prime smashless combo filler. {{clr|L|236L}}~LLL2S easily sets up an assist extension and gives 17 a Power Charge to boot.

Dashes just shy of fullscreen and attacks once it reaches the opponent. Hold any button to perform a feint instead.
Midscreen combo filler, but only combos from Smash {{clr|H|5H}}. Provides excellent corner carry and damage while still giving an easy assist extension.
 
It's an important part of your combos, as performing a full rekka string after {{clr|H|5H}} and extending with an assist deals quite a bit of damage, plus it leaves you with a power blitz charge.
 
You can occasionally use the feint to reset your pressure but it's not to be abused as it has quite the recovery.

Always crosses through the opponent, even fullscreen, then performs the attack. After crossing over you can hold any button for a feint, or you can override the initial attack with a follow-up.
* Crossup works even in the corner.
 
Mostly a gimmick but will catch some opponents unaware if they're not ready for it (or haven't fought many 17s before).
As a crossup, this move is heavily telegraphed as the opponent can just react to the EX special effects, it doesn't help that it can be punished harshly.

One of the best singular moves in the game. Tremendous reward in many situations, standing as a high damage combo finisher, instant win of neutral (with either tremendous oki or having a 6 frame advantage on block), and instantly puts 17 back on the ground, even on whiff. This means 17 is not relegated to being a sitting duck if he gets caught in the air, keeping his "annoying factor" sky high. The only problem being, of course, is that you need the charge the thing in the first place, but with 17 on point, assists and potentially his own B assist when he is not in play ensures he will have the opportunity to charge Power Blitz. Once you have the move, use it wisely and well, as it gives 17 tremendous status in neutral and solves his knockdown issues when he has it ready.

Gear follow-ups can cancel into one another or any other Special Move on whiff, but each move can only be used once per string. The rules of a Gear string are as follow:
* Starts with Accel Driver, Air Second Gear, Finishing Driver, or Air Fake Out. Strings starting with Air Second Gear/Air Fake Out cannot use Second Gear/Fake Out as follow-up
* Starts with {{MMC|input=236L|label=Accel Driver}} and {{MMC|input=214L|label=Finishing Driver}} on the ground, or {{MMC|input=j.236L|label=Air Second Gear}} and {{MMC|input=j.214L|label=Air Fake Out}} in the air. Starting a string with Air Second Gear counts as using {{clr|L|6L}}/{{clr|M|6M}}, the same applies to Air Fake Out and {{clr|L|4L}}/{{clr|M|4M}}.
* Using Accel Driver or Finishing Driver mid-string will refresh the usage of Gear follow-ups
* Pressing {{clr|L|L}} or {{clr|M|M}} without a direction will choose a follow-up going by this order, skipping any gear you already used: {{MMC|input=Gear 5L|label=Top Gear}} > {{MMC|input=Gear 6L|label=Second Gear}} > {{MMC|input=Gear 2L|label=Low Gear}}.
* Using Acrobatic Assault, Power Blitz Charge or Power Blitz effectively ends the string
* Using Accel Driver or Finishing Driver mid-string will refresh the usage of Gear follow-ups.
* If no direction in inputted, the default order of Gears is: Top Gear > Second Gear > Low Gear
* Using {{clr|S|236S}}/{{clr|S|214S}} or {{clr|S|22S}} ends the string.

The rekka "mixup." Reactable, but fairly safe to throw out. Use it to condition them to stand up when they see a jump. On block, it can cancel into {{clr|S|j.22S}} and {{clr|S|j.214S}} which have slightly different properties than the ground versions.

By pressing 6X and then inputting {{clr|S|S}}/{{clr|H|H}} and {{clr|L|L}}/{{clr|M|M}} in quick succession, you can create an option select that lets you barrier any potential reversals and continue your pressure or combo should the overhead connect. This doesn't work too well against Adult Gohan, however, since his DP has very long invuln frames that will just tank the barrier blast.

The low for 17's rekka "mixup."

As its name suggests, this move is meant to look like your overhead.

You can cancel this into your {{clr|L|2L}} for a high-low mixup, unfortunately the high is faster than the low so savvy opponents will be able to {{keyword|fuzzy guard}} both options, and that's if they don't mash or jump out of the gap.

One of the best assists in the game, it's versatile and particularly potent in pressure and mixups.
</div>
 
<div class="attack-info">
It's basically 2 assists in 1: you can use the barrier for mindgames and safe throw attempts or you can use its high blockstun to set up tight 50/50s. Whichever way you use it, the other part of the assist will always make that sequence better: in the first case they'll be forced to block the blast even if mixup didn't go your way, while in the second case the barrier can negate the opponent's Guard Cancel, an option a lot of 50/50 setups are vulnerable to.

{{FrameDataHeader-DBFZ}}
One thing to keep in mind is that this assist only guards you for half of the frames of {{MMC|chara=Android 18|input=Assist A|label=18}}'s assist and that you can hit 17 before the blast comes out. This means that it's not as good if you're looking to hide behind it and fish for a mistake. Despite that it's still useful in neutral to cover your whiffs and ''reverse'' situations where you'd otherwise be at a disadvantage.

17's best all around assist and especially useful for command grab characters. The barrier portion stops mashers and the built-in attack is great for punishing them or stopping jumps. It takes some time to get used to the timing in a combo but the long hitstop and hitstun make it a great combo tool to boot.

Overview

Overview

Android 17 is a fast, heavy mix-up based character that possesses a combination of various mobility options and rekka moves that grants him an overall constant pressure, fantastic mix-up and unorthodox combo routes that lead to very high damage. With just an assist and half a bar to hand, an unscaled starter can lead to colossal punishment, and he will continue chasing you after you get back up with Accel Driver and Finishing Driver: two rekkas with a huge tray of different follow-ups. They give Android 17 colossal option select prowess, and allow him to mow down the opponent merely through catching them blindly. He provides brilliant synergy to a team with his assists: a barrier AND attack, a high blockstun ranged assist or an extremely high blockstun C assist.

With such tremendous strengths, it makes sense that 17 is contrasted by being one of the least beginner friendly characters in FighterZ, with lackluster range, coupled with the arduous task of having to learn all the different Driver follow ups. 17 is a character that takes many, many hours to learn, but those hours reward you with possibly the most terrifying mixup monster the game has to offer.
Android 17

Unique Movement Options
Air Fake Out
Acrobatic Assault
Fastest Attacks
Reversals

 Android 17 operates using speed and dizzying consecutive attacks that render opponents frantic.

Pros
Cons
  • Terrifying Pressure: Driver Moves, four lows, an overhead, and a feint give him a plethora of mix-up options, as well as good stagger pressure with his buttons. Driver Moves in tandem with buttons and assists lead to insanely long pressure.
  • Great Battery: Some of the best meter gain in the game when utilizing ki blasts, enabling multiple ToDs with the right assists especially with Sparking!.
  • Special Assist: A has multiple applications, being a frame 10 shield to any incoming attacks, and a very strong offensive assist, having a TON of hitstun and being +35 on block
  • Option Select: Barrier beats reflect-proof options, Guard Cancel, level 3 Supers, and EX Barrier also jails into Vanish.
  • Movement: Acrobatic Assault and Air Fake Out gives 17 unprecedented air mobility, making it extremely difficult for an opponent to keep him still, or pin him in the corner.
  • Rekka Conditioning: Players must be able to condition with A17's Driver Moves to open opponents' defense and complete combos. His speed only shines when you know exactly what moves you are using to keep the opponent guessing.
  • Poor Range: Normals have short range, resulting in lackluster neutral and approach options without assists. His other tools must be used to compensate.

Normal Moves

5L

Version Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
5L 400 All 6 2 13 -1
5LL 700 All 7 5 16 -5
5LLL 1000 All U3+ 15 4 17 -5 4 Low
5L

A stationary jab with very poor horizontal range. You can 4LL to perform it twice in a row, making this a good tool for stagger pressure, but you'll often have to dash to get in range for it.


5LL

This forward advancing knee comes out really fast, sorta making up for 5L whiffing.

Its speed allows it combo from 2L even if 5L whiffs.


5LLL

17 jumps and swings his arms at you. This move's noteworthy for allowing air special cancels on block, enabling his mixup between j.214HDBFZ Android17 AirFakeOut.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal: Until L(+?)Advantage- ~ 2LDBFZ Android17 LowGear.pngGuardLowStartup10RecoveryAdvantage-11 and j.236HDBFZ Android17 AirSecondGear.pngGuardHighStartup18RecoveryAdvantage- with an assist.

  • In the corner, you can link into a j.L for optimal combos.

5M

Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
700 All 9 4 17 -5

A fast and far-reaching 5M, 17's best normal. Considering how short your 5L is, you'll prefer this to mash on their pressure or engage in neutral.

It's also a phenomenal move in pressure, leaving you in range to reset with 5L in most situations, or as a tool to restart your string after spacing yourself with 5S and 2M.

5H

Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
850 / 1000 All U1 15 4 22 -10

Combo and blockstring filler. It allows you to combo into 236M midscreen and 214L~L in the corner, you'll want to route into this more often than not.

It works as an anti reflect after 5L, 2L, 5LL and 5M, but not other normals.

An average ki blast. It's useful for pressure as it's really safe on block, it can also be used to poke in neutral.

From far range fire a couple of ki blasts and look to 2H a superdash or vanish if they get hit. You can also combine it with a fullscreen assist, for example a beam, to force them to block and take your turn.

You can also use it at close and mid range, as here 17 can follow up 1 or 2 ki blasts with 3H to start a combo or a blockstring.

Great combo and blockstring tool. Besides being one more low in your string, it's really useful for hit confirms, as it anti reflects and combos out of basically everything.

Has anti air properties, which comes into play if your 2H input gets crossed up or if they try to SD your 5S in pressure.

If spaced, it can be made safe on block.

  • Scales like an 'L' normal (Thanks a lot, Cell).

17 performs an attack, then gains access to his gear follow-ups. The attack has anti-air properties.


236L

Short range but fast enough to be your gapless blockstring ender, this is what makes your pressure last for so long. When in doubt, 236L~M~2M~2S is your go-to safe rekka sequence.


236M

Dashes just shy of fullscreen and attacks once it reaches the opponent. Hold any button to perform a feint instead.

It's an important part of your combos, as performing a full rekka string after 5H and extending with an assist deals quite a bit of damage, plus it leaves you with a power blitz charge.

You can occasionally use the feint to reset your pressure but it's not to be abused as it has quite the recovery.


236H

Always crosses through the opponent, even fullscreen, then performs the attack. After crossing over you can hold any button for a feint, or you can override the initial attack with a follow-up.

As a crossup, this move is heavily telegraphed as the opponent can just react to the EX special effects, it doesn't help that it can be punished harshly.

Where it shines is in setting up mixups with an assist, as it always steals the corner. You can either go for the feint and take advantage of your + frames or you can use ~4LDBFZ Android17 FakeOut.pngGuardStartupRecoveryAdvantage- to create left right 50/50s, all while threatening your other rekka options.

j.236L

Only connects after j.M in midscreen, and is useful to drag the opponent to the ground while saving your SKD.


j.236M

Smash hit causes a sliding knockdown and can be combo'd into from j.S(6), so it serves as a meterless SKD.


j.236H

This is one of your main high/low mixup tools, as with Smash hit it causes a ground bounce, allowing a full combo using your drivers.

You will most often set it up with 5LLL, j.S or 2H but it can also be done raw out of staggers, however doing it midscreen requires a precise Tiger Knee An input method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground. Almost always abbreviated to TK. For Example: 2369 for a j.236 input. or you'll go over your opponent.

Also really useful as a combo ender, since it works at high hitstun decay and you can choose to take a damaging extension or a sliding knockdown.

214L

You want to use this as a frametrap tool. 214L~L will whiff punish most mashing attempts for a medium starter and on block you'll have 236L still available to extend your string.

  • Cancellable at frame 19.

214M

You can hold any button to perform a feint, similar to 236M.

  • Sways back more than 214L.
  • Cancellable at frame 23.

214H

Has the same uses as 214L with an added mixup layer, as it crosses up like 236H when not cancelled. When done after 5L it can look like a DR, adding to the mental stack, and at the same time you present a mixup between letting 214H cross-up or cancelling it into any of your follow ups to stay same side.

17 jumps torwards a screen edge, then dives forward once he reaches it. You can cancel into any attack once you touch the wall, but you aren't allowed to block during the dive.

It's one more movement option, making 17 hard to catch even if you already used your air action. It's commonly used to retreat to fullscreen by cancelling it into j.214H or to cross over a grounded opponent, calling an assist to take your turn.

If you call an assist while 17's touching the wall, the assist can spawn behind the opponent and steal the corner.

Your only non ki-blast projectile besides your LV3. After charging up you get one use of the move before you have to charge up again, which is justified by the unmatched versatility of this move. Try to use it often when you have it.

It deals a HUGE chunk of damage and builds a lot of meter, oftentimes serving as your combo ender even in long combos. Not only that but it also forces a sliding knockdown, so it's really handy if you've used j.236H as a starter or extender.

It's plus enough on block that you can frametrap with 5M in the corner. The ground version steps back before throwing it and it's usually more plus while the air version leaves you closer; from some setups you're left in 5L range. It leaves the smallest gap when cancelled from a blockstring, so the + frames are basically free as long as you have the charge.

It's actually the least useful when used as a neutral poke because of its long total duration and the erratic projectile arc. The reward off a vanish confirm is really good, and the move can be performed while in the air so despite all of its problems here it's still decent. On that note, you can perform it after a 214S to auto align it with your opponent and make it more consistent.

  • Throws 2 balls downward. First ball arcs up while the second arcs down.
  • Air version perfroms a fast fall after shooting.
  • Loses charge on frame 16, the moment the first blast is thrown.

Gear Follow-ups

Gear follow-ups can cancel into one another or any other Special Move on whiff, but each move can only be used once per string. The rules of a Gear string are as follow:

  • Starts with Accel DriverDBFZ Android17 AccelDriver.pngGuardAllStartup15RecoveryAdvantage-23 and Finishing DriverDBFZ Android17 FinishingDriver.pngGuardAllStartup31RecoveryAdvantage-23 on the ground, or Air Second GearDBFZ Android17 AirSecondGear.pngGuardHighStartup18RecoveryAdvantage- and Air Fake OutDBFZ Android17 AirFakeOut.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal: Until L(+?)Advantage- in the air. Starting a string with Air Second Gear counts as using 6L/6M, the same applies to Air Fake Out and 4L/4M.
  • Pressing L or M without a direction will choose a follow-up going by this order, skipping any gear you already used: Top GearDBFZ Android17 TopGear.pngGuardAllStartup8RecoveryAdvantage-9 > Second GearDBFZ Android17 SecondGear.pngGuardHighStartup25RecoveryAdvantage-12 > Low GearDBFZ Android17 LowGear.pngGuardLowStartup10RecoveryAdvantage-11.
  • Using Accel Driver or Finishing Driver mid-string will refresh the usage of Gear follow-ups.
  • Using 236S/214S or 22S ends the string.

Example of a full string: Air Second Gear > Follow-ups > Accel Driver > Follow-ups > Finishing Driver > Follow-ups > Power Blitz Charge

Your preferred frametrap. It's really hard to contest when spaced and scales like a medium: getting hit by this means death for the opponent. The M version has more forward movement and it works really well as an anti reflect.

Second Gear

Version Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln

The rekka "mixup." Reactable, but fairly safe to throw out. Use it to condition them to stand up when they see a jump. On block, it can cancel into j.22S and j.214S which have slightly different properties than the ground versions.

By pressing 6X and then inputting S/H and L/M in quick succession, you can create an option select that lets you barrier any potential reversals and continue your pressure or combo should the overhead connect. This doesn't work too well against Adult Gohan, however, since his DP has very long invuln frames that will just tank the barrier blast.

  • It doesn't have head property, meaning the move can't be 2H'd/anti-aired.
  • M version has enourmous range.
  • Has an abhorring 60% initial proration, whereas most other rekka moves have 70% when used as a combo starter.

As its name suggests, this move is meant to look like your overhead.

Test them and see if you can get away with it, but be ready to adapt and rely on other mixups.

Speaking of other mixups, if you sandwitch your opponent between yourself and an assist you can use the pushback to make Fake Out cross them over. You set this up with 236H, then you can vary which side you end up on by playing with your assist timing and by changing which version of Fake Out you use.

Mash callout tool that also nets 17 a nice combo. The attack builds a ton of meter by itself from the S version of the barrier. The H version is useful to get a combo if 17 doesn't have assists available or doesn't want to spend them. In most cases, even a mildly optimized combo will build the meter back.

Z Assists

Assist A

DBFZ Assist A Icon.png Reverse Gear

Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
800 All 40 +35 11-33 Guard

17 summons a barrier that protects you and himself, then fires out a close range blast. One of the best assists in the game, it's versatile and particularly potent in pressure and mixups.

It's basically 2 assists in 1: you can use the barrier for mindgames and safe throw attempts or you can use its high blockstun to set up tight 50/50s. Whichever way you use it, the other part of the assist will always make that sequence better: in the first case they'll be forced to block the blast even if mixup didn't go your way, while in the second case the barrier can negate the opponent's Guard Cancel, an option a lot of 50/50 setups are vulnerable to.

One thing to keep in mind is that this assist only guards you for half of the frames of 18DBFZ Android18 Barrier.pngGuardStartup10RecoveryAdvantage-'s assist and that you can hit 17 before the blast comes out. This means that it's not as good if you're looking to hide behind it and fish for a mistake. Despite that it's still useful in neutral to cover your whiffs and reverse situations where you'd otherwise be at a disadvantage.

  • Absorbed hits don't give any meter.
  • Blast has high hitstun and it causes a wallbounce.
  • Blast comes out later for each hit the assist absorbs.
  • Barrier activates at the 10th frame.

Fast, high blockstun assist. Can be useful for fuzzy guard style mixups but is generally outclassed by his A assist.

Assist C

Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
450×2, 400 All 35 [20] +55
  • His first two hits of the rekka sequence.
  • Even being a blockstun type C-assist, it has anti-air properties in his first hit, which makes it a little bit better than the others of its kind.
  • Tracks opponents, though it remains on the ground.

17's C assist is a tracking, +55 anti-air assist. Not a bad choice if you really want a C assist due to it having some extra utility, but his A assist is generally more applicable.

  • 17 covers himself in a barrier and rushes forward the opponent, covering all the screen.

  • This is 17's DHC Super.
  • Minimum damage 817. Non-cinematic version has minimum damage 708.
  • Gives SKD, even in the air.

This super is the ultimate answer to anyone who gets too frisky with their supers. 17 can initiate drive-thru mode on that pesky Vegeta and his Final Flash, and punt him straight into the floor for only a single bar. This only adds to the annoyance factor of fighting 17, as he can usually get a free punish out of this, waste the opponent's meter, and it sets up nicely for DHC into another character. Often, when you are in the air, it may be worth spending the bar for a knockdown with this super, especially if your damage has been heavily scaled by a light, where 5S into aerial Second Gear just falls short. You may also have to choose this super over Endgame if you want to keep your side.

This super confirms that mashing against 17 is a terrible idea. Do not use raw supers against 17.

  • Ground version makes 17 jump back a little bit.

Pretty solid as a reversal, although that would ignore how awesome Barrier Explosion is. Takes up most of the screen in all directions, thus the opponent cannot just jump over it to escape, although it has pretty underwhelming damage compared to other projectile supers. However, it doesn't scale too badly despite the low raw damage, meaning it's a solid combo ender if you have meter to burn.
