Overview

Lost Warrior is a slow character with highly explosive potential, scoring massively damaging combos off most hits.

His overall gameplan is primarily focused around whiff punishing with this powerful Special and MP moves, which have excellent return from almost anywhere on the screen should they connect. Thanks to his unique Mechanic, Time Stop, hitting the opponent a total of 5 times with any MP skill over the course of the match will freeze them in place, extending his already high damage combos even further, often leading into touch of death sequences from one strong starter against most of the cast.

While his damage output is extremely high, he has very little way to force the damage through against defensive opponents due to his slow movement speed and attack startups, poor frame data on block, and middling reach on his normals. His mixup options are fairly poor, as they are mostly predictable from air teleports, and he has little to no guard gauge pressure to speak of. As such, he generally relies on leveraging the threat of a Time Stop activation in order to put the opponent into a cautious situation where any stray hit from Lost Warrior could lead to death.

Pros

Cons

• Damage: Lost Warrior's damage return is very high off random hits which further increases if he has more MP, is Awakened, and/or lands Time Stop.
• Time Stop Checkmate: Time StopGuardStartupRecoveryAdvantage- offers Warrior the ability to end a combo early and threaten a damaging conversion off of any stray hit, especially if the opponent is close to Awakening.
• Fullscreen Threat: Mysterious PierceGuardAllStartup30Recovery16Advantage+9 is a fullscreen tracking projectile and combo starter that can effectively shut down opponents despite the long startup. Mysterious SlashGuardAllStartup22Recovery30Advantage-8 is a long distance lariat that can be cancelled into Conversion to make it safe, and Phase ShiftGuardAllStartup20Recovery42Advantage-25 is a fullscreen hitgrab with fairly fast startup to punish slower moves.

• Lacking Midrange: Lost Warrior has a speed and range gap between his long range or fullscreen options and his fastest short range buttons. It can be very difficult to him to fight mid-range opponents that have longer reaching buttons and faster attack speeds.
• Weak Pressure: Lost Warrior has few mix-up opportunities against defensive opponents and very little guard bar pressure to speak of. Instead, he must rely on whiff punishing and hard reads to secure damage.
