Overview
Making his debut in the series, Sin is a close to midrange monster. With large, sweeping moves and high mobility attacks, Sin has no issue controlling the flow of battle. He also has possibly one of the most versatile special moves with Beak Driver, allowing him to both shred Masters and Servants alike.
Sin's skills include Patecatl Stain, one of the best abilities in the game. It shoots out a healing beam that will heal back a significant amount of HP to any servants it hits. This skill is made even stronger when playing in 2v2, as it will heal your ally's servants and even their master as well. He also has Exciter, boosting his already excellent damage to do massive damage off any hit.
Nothing is without weakness, and Sin is definitely no exception. His main weakness is the slow speed of all his attacks. His quickest attacks have issues of their own, being easy to avoid due to hitbox weaknesses such as avoiding his 6X by walking to the right. However, while fighting with his tribe, Illyria, Sin can cover the slow speed of his attacks with his servant's attacks and bodies.
Sin's overall poor normals results in him needing to use Beak Driver very often, and although it's an amazing move it does cost tension to use. He also relies on Beak Driver to convert all his hits into highly damaging combos. Without the threat of a combo off his attacks, Sin is a much weaker character and thus heavily relies on tension to win master fights.
While Sin can be weak without tension, when he does have tension he is an incredibly strong character who can stop any attempt to harm his own servants with Beak Driver. As long as Sin fights with his servants, they'll do a good job of covering him. |

Sin is a Master with large yet slow attacks which give him good Servant ClearWhen a Master takes time to clear massive swathes of enemy Servants, often by abusing strong single-hitting attacks with wide reach.. Alone Sin's attacks can be whiff punished but next to his strong Tribe he becomes an offensive powerhouse.
- Amazing Reach: Able to pressure other characters from a distance, Sin is almost never out of range to threaten the opponent
- Pressure Nightmare: Most of Sin's normals aren't anything special on Guard, but his special moves make the thought of blocking against Sin impossible. His F8X and most of his special moves do high damage to guard, allowing him to cause a guard break extremely fast.
- Strong Army: With an army that's generally strong in all stages of the game, Sin can focus on playing where he wants to be and avoid engagement until it becomes advantageous.
- Beak Driver: Beak Driver and Big Beak Driver do massive damage, enable combos, and can easily hit multiple opponents. It's useful in any context that he has Tension.
- Patecatl Stain: Even though Sin's army is expensive, he can keep his units alive longer than any other master due to his ability to heal them with Patecatl Stain.
- Slow buttons: Most of Sin's attacks have long start up and recovery meaning if a rushdown oriented Master like Ky, Sol, or Izuna get in they can pin Sin in a disadvantage state where his only ways out both cost meter and are punishable when read. Due to this Sin is often forced to fight around his Servants using them as cover.
- Tension-reliant: Without Tension, Sin's pressure and combos leave much to be desired and don't give him any room to threaten the opponent. In between battles, he has to recover the Tension he spent to remain as a threat throughout a match.
- Bad Overdrive: Sin's R.T.L. can't decide what it wants to do. It does ok damage for each of its three hits, but less than Ky's one-directional Ride the Lightning, meaning it can struggle to wipe out crowds. As well, Sin cannot combo all three hits against a single enemy, making its single target damage lackluster compared to competition like Tyrant Rave.
- Expensive Army: Sin's army is expensive and since Sin is reliant on them so he might be forced into engagements if they enemy Master is targeting his troops.
Lock-off Attacks
Most aren't very useful for Sin besides F8X so this will be filled in after Sin's more important moves are completed for this page.

|---|
Good range but slow compared to other characters 5X attacks. If you hit this at it's tip then 5XX will whiff so you will want to go into something else like 5YY, side/back step cancel, or jump cancel with a well spaced j.8X.
In most cases where you need a fast yet short range button 6X takes it's place.
Ground bounces airborne opponents.

Gets you from 5X to 5XXX.... unless you hit 5XX at tip range then 5XXX will whiff. In this case cancel 5XX into something else like back/side step cancel or 5YY.

|---|
Sin spins his flag around his left side. Has high damage and good AoE making this move a go to way to meterlessly kill groups of Servants. Only the later portion of the move has a hitbox.
Can gatling The special category of cancels that describe how each character can cancel normals into other normals and specials. into 5X which can gatling back into 4X, this sequence can cancel into itself repeatedly which is great for damaging groups of servants quickly.
4X is also great poke which can catch sidesteps. Just don't throw it out too often as if you get predictable the opponent can jump over it and depending on the matchup that could hurt alot for Sin.

|---|
A quick jab that might whiff on an opponent walking slightly to your left. The visual effects are a bit misleading as to the range this hits.
Since it's jump cancelable it can be used as combo filler in between two j.8X in some combos.

|---|
A quick sweep that leads to hard knockdown. Hitting a Lock-on Dash then doing this move as you near the target will carry a little bit of momentum and probably inspired Xrd Sin's Elk Hunt.

|---|
A vaulting kick that covers a great distance. Unsafe on block and can be sidestepped so it is a high risk option in neutral. On grounded opponents Needs meter to convert into combos.
Also sometimes used after 5YY (Beak Driver follow up) to juggle and jump cancels into an air combo.

When hit on an opponent in the air, it will send them away onto the ground. This move is rarely used since you can't extend combos off of it and it doesn't leave Sin in a good place to chase his opponent.

A follow up to Beak Driver that creates a sphere of energy which explodes to launch the opponent.
- Sin can Combo off F5YY/5YY's launch with 8X at most ranges which iteself is jump cancelable into an air combo.
- If you cant hit 8X after the launch, an IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump. Done by inputting 956 754, and depending on the game, using a dash macro right after a jump. will let you go into an air combo instead for less damage.

If Sin is hit while the move is active, he will block it and launch a counterattack. If he doesn't counter anything, he will be left wide open.
- Costs no tension unless the counterattack comes out
- When an enemy hits the counter they can still cancel the move into any options available from their attack, meaning if the enemy hits your counter with a jump cancelable attack, they can jump to nullify your followup combo or avoid the attack completely and punish you.

Sin stabs with his flag several times. Almost never used due to the high knockback, low untech time, and Sin's long recovery after performing the move almost guaranteeing an escape for the opponent. Routing into j.8X loops tends to give more damage than ending a combo with this attack.

Sin performs his version of his Father's Overdrive 'Ride the Lightning'. Sin is inexperienced in combat though and doesn't know what makes an Overdrive useful so R.T.L. is a really bad way to use Sin's Tension compared to his other options like Beak Driver.
What makes Sin's Overdrive bad is that unlike Ky who has one big damaging attack, Sin has 3 with less damage which don't connect to each other in any way. Even if you hit the opponent with the first one you will be punished on the recovery of the last one.

Sin takes a small bit of his own and nearby servants health and fires a beam straight forward. The move powers up it's damage based on how much health it takes from servants, but has a long startup and recovery while not really dealing worthwhile damage unless it's greatly powered up.

Gives Sin a boost to his damage, and also allows his 8Y to stun if all three hits connect raw or early in a combo. Very useful ability, and certainly worth buying.
