Tips and Tricks[]
Role & Strategy[]
- Harlequin is an offensive fighter with a Signature Ability that revolves around boosting special moves by increasing their damage and cooldown. Her abilities extend to all teammates, providing her a supportive role as well.
- It is important to note that her abilities are still active for her teammates even when she is defeated.
- Given Cerebella's naturally high stats, Harlequin is an excellent offensive fighter and can deal massive damage by using special moves such as MERRY GO-RILLA and BATTLE BUTT while also helping her teammates do the same with their special moves.
- MERRY GO-RILLA is a special move that bypasses blocking and is considered a THROW which allows the activation of Cerebella's Marquee Ability.
- Equipping two or even three MERRY GO-RILLAS can lead to a semi-infinite combo that is made possible by Harlequin's short special move cooldown. Within a safe distance, simply use MERRY GO-RILLA, followed by a knockback attack to launch the opponent and knock them down. Move back and use the second MERRY GO-RILLA when the opponent stands back up and repeat the process.
- It is helpful to bring Harlequin as a support fighter when you need to re-use special moves often with your main fighter, especially with TAUNTS that grant various useful BUFFS such as IMMUNITY and PRECISION. Since special move damage is boosted and cooldown is reduced, it may be beneficial to bring Harlequin when aiming to use common special move combos such as FIBER UPPER > EL GATO > CAT SLIDE for Ms. Fortune or CILIA SLIDE > BOGUS BUZZARD > HORNET BOMBER for Double.
- Marquee Ability: Either Marquee Abilities will work with Harlequin. UPPER HAND is generally the superior Marquee Ability as it allows any Cerebella to act as a meter control variant to prevent opponents from using blockbusters to punish. Meanwhile, RING LEADER will trap opponents and prevent them from escaping via TAG OUTS while also disabling their special moves which may be useful in some niche situations.
- Stat Investment: Like any other offensive fighters, investing in ATK, Piercing and Meter Gain are recommended to further bolster Harlequin's damage output and charge blockbusters quicker.
Trivia[]
- This variant is a reference to Harley Quinn from the Batman series by DC Comics.
