Tips and Tricks[]
Role & Strategy[]
- Summer Salt is an offensive fighter with a Signature Ability that is able to remove BUFFS and DEBUFFS easily through her TEARS, while gaining massive damage output from stacks of PRECISION and TEAR detonation. This combination of abilities, along with her naturally high base ATK stat, allows her to be an offensive juggernaut capable of defeating the toughest of defenders when played correctly.
- BUFF removal is a very strong trait to have, allowing Summer Salt the ability to counter defensive fighters such as Heavy Metal, Resonant Evil, Blue Screen, Meow & Furever, and That's All Folks! that primarily relies on BUFFS. Furthermore, she is able to gain stacks of PRECISION, allowing her to counter on-death Signature Abilities of defenders such as Immoral Fiber, Kill Joy, and Plot Twisted.
- The main takeaway to Summer Salt's ability is her first Signature Ability to remove BUFFS. You can forgo her second Signature Ability by equipping special moves such as IMMUNITY TAUNT and EGRET CALL, which gives IMMUNITY to DEBUFFS and a maximum of 3 stacks of PRECISION on-demand.
- To maximize the use of her ability, try to push the opponent into the corner as much as possible via grabs, combos and launchers. Once in the corner, all TEARS that are spawned in a juggle will be placed within a close distance, allowing you to continually attack the opponent without fear of any defensive BUFFS.
- Furthermore, equip moves that can spawn TEARS easily, such as NAPALM SHOWER and NAPALM SHOT. NAPALM TRIGGER can be useful to detonate TEARS in the middle of a combo, allowing you to gain stacks of PRECISION while also dealing massive amounts of damage to the opponent.
- Marquee Ability: CRITICAL MASS is the recommended Marquee Ability for Summer Salt, as you can easily get 100% Crit Rate through moves, while Crit Damage is harder to reach 200%.
Stat Investment[]
- General Investment: As an offensive Parasoul, Summer Salt is best built with Attack, Piercing, Crit Damage and Special Cooldown. Do keep in mind that due to Parasoul's Marquee Ability CRITICAL MASS, Parasoul variants only need to build 100% Crit Damage.
- Special investment: Meter Gain allow her to use Blockbusters more often.
