Tips and Tricks[]
Role & Strategy[]
- Eager Deceiver is an offensive fighter that can reliably gain a stack of EVASION, BARRIER and BLESSING each from well-timed blocks. This provides extra sustain for her, with BARRIER she may take additional hits, BLESSING will help in case you get a blunder, and EVASION will help you not to get hit in the first place. Furthermore, activating a blockbuster while RAVENOUS has a strong chance to convert BUFFS into permanent ENRAGE stacks, providing Eager Deceiver a significant boost in damage, and reaching 5 stacks will give you access to PRECISION - a really strong offensive buff that boosts her damage and makes her more versatile.
- Eager Deceiver has the potential to deal massive amounts of damage, while having access to plenty of sustain from her BUFFS and Umbrella's health regeneration from her Prestige Ability, Marquee Ability and blockbusters such as FEEDING TIME and TONGUE TWISTER. This makes her a very strong fighter that can both take a hit and deal strong hits back.
- Her second Signature Ability can convert three BUFFS into permanent ENRAGE, regardless of where the BUFFS originate. Thus, BUFFS gained from support variants such as Surgeon General or Sketchy can also be converted into permanent ENRAGE with the use of a blockbuster. Hence, players should pay attention to the HUNGER METER and use their blockbusters wisely to avoid needless conversion.
- As Eager Deceiver needs to be RAVENOUS in order to be able to convert BUFFS into ENRAGE, she doesn't have as much use for THROW moves while not having 5 ENRAGE stacks. After the 5 ENRAGE stacks are reached however, there's more reason to use them.
- Eager Deceiver is one of the few fighters that can gain permanent PRECISION, a powerful BUFF that disregards an opponent's Signature Abilities. When used correctly, this allows her to reliably finish opponents that rely on their death/fatal hits to activate their abilities such as Kill Joy, Immoral Fiber, Shadow Puppet, and Death Wish.
- Marquee Ability: BITTER END is the recommended Marquee Ability for Eager Deceiver, as it allows her to survive longer in the match by having a FINAL STAND and HEAVY REGEN safety net.
Stat Investment[]
- General Investment: As an offensive Umbrella, Eager Deceiver is best built with Attack, Piercing, Meter Gain and Special Cooldown.
- Special investment: Accuracy will increase the chances of her converting her BUFFS, Crit damage will help her deal additional damage while benefiting from PRECISION.
Trivia[]
- This variant's color palette is a reference to Neo AKA Neopolitan, a major antagonist from the web show RWBY, with its caption being a reference to the fact that the character is mute.
