Overview

Inquisitor is an aggressive lockdown-focused character with access to safe and persistent pressure.

Where Inquisitor shines is her persistent pressure game, using a wide assortment of pressure resets with Cut-in DashGuard-Startup0Recovery25Advantage-, Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37, and Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166; and some of the best Tick Throw A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent. A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from. offense on offer. With advantageous normals and high dash speed it becomes hard to avoid the threat, and high advantage when Throw hits helps maintain the pressure. If opponents are not using the Guard button to allow Throw Breaks, Cut-in BashGuardMidStartup12Recovery35Advantage-16 becomes an extremely fast cross-up, further supporting her Tick Throw offense.

While very good on offense, Inquisitor struggles from range. Barring her Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26, almost every equivalent is very slow, with a 10F 5A poke, a 9F 2A abare, a 20F 2S anti-air, and a F19~32 6SS whiff punish. To assist, her Cut-in DashGuard-Startup0Recovery25Advantage- allows fast grounded approaches, while RaidGuardMidStartup21Recovery24Advantage-11 and God's WrathGuardMidStartup12Recovery26Advantage-1 offer strong air-to-ground approaches, but these are neither fast nor advantageous, requiring finesse to begin her pressure.

While struggling for options, Inquisitor has versatile combo potential, able to fully combo off even the tip of her lengthy 5A range, if she has enough MP. This is, however, a major weakness. Inquisitor's MP Skills are very expensive, and has only the baseline MP Regeneration Rate. Even her DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion. is a staggering 80 MP. This is massively improved once her Awakening Effect is active, but until then she will need to heavily pace her MP Skill usage, especially for Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 and Noble RageGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166.

Despite her slow normals, Inquisitor is not particularly weak on defense, with Noble RageGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 being one of the most rewarding DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.s in the game while having significant range. And while slow, her 2A and 5A share decent range, allowing her to threaten pressure in more situations. However, she is bizarrely tied for the lowest Health in the game, increasing the risk on a failed defense.

With axe in hand, Inquisitor can crush opponents with relentless fury, so long as you can take on the weight of her duty and weapon.

Inquisitor Inquisitor is classified as a Traps type. She has various moves that shut down the opponent and control space by restricting movement. She is capable of dealing special damage through Burning Hit.

Pros

Cons

Prolonged Lockdown: Inquisitor's infamous Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 keeps opponents blocking and taking high amounts of chip for almost three full seconds. She also has Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37 which acts as a less MP-intensive and much safer alternative.
Explosive Reversal: Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26 is one of the most rewarding reversals in the game, giving a very advantageous knockdown on hit, a safe side-switch out of the corner, and can even be a combo starter if the opponent is doused with Essence.
Forceful Approach: With multiple safe long-reaching air attacks and her unique Cut-in DashGuard-Startup0Recovery25Advantage-, Inquisitor can approach very suddenly to punish pokes. Additionally, Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37 locks down opponents long enough to close the gap.

Frail: Tied for the lowest health in the game at 850 HP, Inquisitor is afforded less mistakes than her competitors, relying on her stronger defensive options and safer pressure to compensate.
MP Glutton: Inquisitor's MP Skills require high amounts of MP, with Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 costing 90 MP and Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26 being the only reversal To perform an attack as soon as possible after getting knocked down or leaving hitstun/blockstun. MP Skill in the game that costs 80 MP. This is massively improved once her Awakening Effect is active, but initially it can make many of her options restrictive.
Slow Brawler: At 9 frames of startup, Inquisitor's fastest button is on the slower side compared to the rest of the cast, which means she can rarely contest point-blank encounters without committing to a reversal or sluggish startup frames.

Inquisitor's 4S on hit inflicts the Essence debuff for 7 seconds.

If any MP Skill is used while an opponent is doused in Essence , it will ignite, launching the opponent into the air and inflict Incinerate . Incinerate deals 50 to 70 damage depending on the move used. Essence can be re-applied during this time, but will not deal damage until also incinerated.

50 Damage: Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37, Summary JusticeGuardMidStartup18Recovery21Advantage±0, Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166
70 Damage: Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26, God's WrathGuardMidStartup12Recovery26Advantage-1

Damage dealt by Incinerate

ignores all damage scaling, this includes combo scaling and even damage reduction buffs (e.g. Crusader's Merciful Strength

), and it cannot be blocked. However, the fire cannot deal the lethal blow, leaving opponents on 1 Health.

Awakening Effect: activates when entering Awakening mode at 30% HP or less. MP recovery after using an MP move begins instantly upon MP Skill activation. This completely overrides the reduction from using motion inputs (e.g. 214M instead of 4M), giving zero penalty for using faster, easier inputs.

The safest standard A attack in the game, with large range, great for poking and pressure.

One of the only 5A attacks that is not negative on block, making it very strong for tick throw A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent. A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from. offense, and easy stagger pressure. It also boasts great range with short recovery, making it one of the safest options in neutral. Only particularly held back by its slow startup, making it outclassed in either speed or range, depending on the opponent.

Can hit Round Start against Vanguard and Crusader.

Unremarkable pressure extender.

Good for pressure after 5A or 2A for its lower pushback while being safe on block, otherwise nothing unique about it.

As a combo starter it very good, however there are few opportunities that can be easily punished by 5B which cannot also be punished by 2S, making it somewhat outclassed.

Tragically poor in neutral, it is slower, less advantaged on block, and shorter range than 5A, making it entirely outclassed.

Inquisitor's fastest attack and primary abare.

Unfortunately slow for an abare, while lacking the range of similarly slow 2A attacks. It doesn't particularly excel at anything as an attack. However, Inquisitor is extremely capable of getting a full combo off any hit, even performing side-switches mid-combo, so while the move is not particularly special, it retains the potential for efficient combos and okizeme.

Bigger, slower poke, good for covering distance.

Slightly larger than 5A and much more rewarding, but relatively slow. By also being a crouching attack, this can also faciliate attacking while ducking under high-hitting projectiles, with enough range to compete with the long range of zoner normals.

Useful to maintain pressure even when at long-range, especially from the edge of 5A, otherwise mostly outclassed by 5B when within range. It is also a natural frametrap after 2A, without needing manual delays. This is also Inquisitor's most rewarding Low attack, making it important in Conversion High-Low mixups.

Fastest air-to-air and a Conversion mixup tool.

The highest damaging j.A attack in the game, but also the slowest. It's huge vertical reach makes it very reliable at hitting its target when predicting the opponent's jump, but reacting after both players jump will make it extremely likely to be outsped.

If Inquisitor has White Damage to spare, she can perfom a practical overhead mixup by performing Conversion almost immediately after a jump and instantly cancel it into j.A. This is best performed after a point-blank 5A or during her lockdowns using Flege's FirebombGuardMidStartup45Recovery10*Advantage+37 or Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166.

Reliable pressure-ender.

A fairly large and safe cancel from Inquisitor's normals. Its large pushback makes it almost impossible to punish. It retains all of the same cancels to prolong pressure, at some risk, except Summary JusticeGuardMidStartup18Recovery21Advantage±0 will usually whiff the first hit, rendering it unsafe against large attacks.

Additionally, any hit can confirm into Punishing Cross to begin a combo from anywhere, especially into Cut-in Bash > Jump Cancel for reaching at any distance, or Summary JusticeGuardMidStartup18Recovery21Advantage±0 when closer and in the corner.

Second hit has a tiny dead-zone at point-blank range. Particularly relevant during Burning WheelGuardMidStartup40Recovery30*Advantage+166 where there is no pushback.

Supremely large anti-air, but very slow.

Gigantic reach, often able to catch anti-air baits unless done quite early, but its slow speed makes it much harder to catch sudden jump-ins reliably. To compensate, successfully landing 2S gives excellent reward.

2S is also Inquisitor's most powerful punish combo starter, making it the optimal choice for punishing extremely unsafe attacks, such as a DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion., or in pressure to callout abares. However its slow speed limits it to these specific situations.

In pressure, 2S makes a riskier substitute to 5S with much further pushback, usually hindering Inquisitor's pressure, while being very unsafe on block and therefore requiring a Skill cancel which may be called out. However it naturally frametraps off 5B and 2B, and if slightly delayed the backswing even catches Dodge attempts. It is also much more rewarding on hit, if the opponent falls for it.

Surprise pressure resets, or a fast way to approach in neutral.

Reset Inquisitor's blockstring pressure by immediately closing the gap. This will be reactable, so it is necessary to watch out for attempts to punish with Throw or a DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion., but if the opponent respects it she can use 5A to begin her pressure all over again, and hammer their Guard Gauge in the process. If an opponent is especially quick with the Throw punish, Inquisitor can opt for Cut-in Bash for a risky frametrap.

Cut-in Dash is also good for approaching through gaps in zoning or to get underneath airborne attacks. It is speedier than using DodgeGuard-Startup0Recovery1Advantage- but lacks the invulnerability.

If used after hitting Noble RageGuardMidStartup10Recovery42Advantage-26, she can side-switch out of the corner while being completely safe from any reversal option, enhancing the defensive reward of it.

Can cancel into during frames 8~21 of Cut-in DashGuard-Startup0Recovery25Advantage-. Total startup of 19~32 frames.
Jump cancellable on hit, but not on block.

A fast-moving strike with large effective range for countering pokes, catching jumps at mid-range, and whiff punishing from extreme ranges.

On any hit, it leads to high reward with great corner carry using its jump cancel for combos. By delaying the Cut-in Bash timing, raw 6SS can also hit by itself from extremely far. However, it is very unsafe on block, so is best reserved for moments when an opponent is already vulnerable or as a read on their intention to do something unsafe.

It can also be used at close range for a fast cross-up attack. However, this is easily mitigated by proper use of the Guard button as Inquisitor lacks threats to force opponents out of this tactic.

In pressure Flege's Essence is weak: it isn't advantaged, even on hit; it cannot combo at all, even on Counter Hit; and it can be called out with a Dodge.

After RaidGuardMidStartup21Recovery24Advantage-11 it is the only available Skill cancel and can punish moves that punish Raid, helping maintain MP efficiency at the cost of some safety.

While it is a projectile of sorts, Flege's Essence is quite poor in neutral, being very slow and covering an extremely short distance from where she's standing, easily whiffing opponents. Its retreating motion can often be a hinderance.

It is possible to Throw mixup during this, by pushing the opponent outside of the wheel to open a throwable gap.

If the wheel fully expires without using another MP Skill, much of its original cost is restored, lowering the effective cost:

- 214M costs 65 total MP

Aptly named, devastating control of the skies.

A large, fast, and extremely active attack functioning as both air-to-air and air-to-ground. With its advancing motion, it helps close the gap against zoning quickly. By pausing in the air, it can also bait and whiff-punish anti-air attacks, giving huge reward on a clean hit. Even on block, it does high Guard Gauge damage, and is completely safe.

When used as an Instant Air Special A method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground. For Example: 2369 for a j.236 input. Also known as a TK., Inquisitor remains very low to the ground while attacking quickly, making it a good way to punish low-hitting attacks. It also makes for a poke that hits much further than her 5A. However, this is not an overhead attack and should not be used as such.

The final hit causes a hard knock down which can be reliably hit OTG by 5B, which leads into a (nearly) full combo.

Example: j.M > 5B OTG > 5S (first hit only) > 6SS > j.2S > 214M > ...

Final hit Incinerates opponents doused in Essence, launching much higher on hit. Incineration lasts 130F, dealing +70 damage in total.
Reduces momentum on activation, allowing it to be used very low to the ground.
