#POKKEN TOURNAMENT TIPS SERIES#

Fury Cutter gains blue, green, purple, and pink traces as Aegislash swings, as does Gyro Ball while he spins. All accents given to his moves and his body when he has a buff is present as well. It appears the armor in question is Counter Armor, and so presumably it will still be overcome by Grab Attacks.Дash stepping out of Shield stance will cause Aegislash to become invisible, becoming invincible until reappearing.ДЄegislash's body becomes a completely shinier version of his regular body, giving off glowing golden sparkles. However, in exchange, it gains armor against incoming attacks that is always active, regardless of button inputs. Furthermore, in this stance, Aegislash loses the ability to Guard entirely. Aegislash's inability to recharge shield also occurs in field phase.ДЄ unique ability to Aegislash is Parry, by pressing shield and forward simultaneously Aegislash will bash his shield forward, giving a very short window to counter attacks (Not projectiles) but rather than immediately launching a counter attack it places the opponent in a brief hitstun, allowing Aegislash a chance to choose a followup combo.ДЄegislash's Shield Stance involves a reliance on long-range projectiles. It also simultaneously charges the synergy bar, but at an incredibly slow rate. It appears to charge in bursts, completely recharging (from no charge) after 3 bursts, a burst is indicated by the glowing effect shown on Aegislash's shield. The buff will also cause Aegislash's lights attacks, such as 5y, to deal chip damage.ДЄegislash has the unique trait of being incapable of recharging it's shield over time, and instead requires to hold his high stance to be able to charge it. Buffs on Aegislash allow access to more devastating attacks, namely (during Sword stance) 5a and 4x. When switching from Shield stance to Sword stance Aegislash will gain an attack buff, the duration changes depending on which action you used to switch stance: Side/forward/backstep = 3 sec, jump = 7 sec, pokemon moves = 9 sec. During Shield stance Aegislash has incredibly reduced movement speed and will automatically trigger King's Shield upon being hit, but constantly has counter armor, leaving Aegislash prone to critical grab attacks. Shield stance seems to focus more on a ranged, zoning, and 'out of my face' playstyle whereas Sword stance allows Aegislash a more aggressive and space heavy playstyle. Aegislash is also entirely reliant in setting himself up for his Attack buffs without it, his moves become incredibly weak and some are even outright worse when blocked, causing him to bounce off of the shield in recoil.ДЄegislash is able to switch between a Shield stance and Sword stance, granting access to a second move pool. Aegislash is heavily momentum-based, and while this means Aegislash can end matches in mere moments due to his high damage output, he himself is quite frail, only having 510 HP, which is the 2nd lowest HP count in the game. Coupled with good frame data, long range, and ways of dealing with different playstyles while conforming to his own, Aegislash surely is a cut above the rest. There are a number of mechanics Aegislash has at his disposal, such as being able to give himself Attack buffs upon leaving Shield Stance, owning a parry, giving him the ability to perform extra hits on moves or allowing weak attacks to deal slight bits of chip damage, as well as give him a somewhat easier time when fighting an opponent in Burst Mode. Aegislash also brings with him a variety of moves that benefit from Just Frames.

High level play has shown that this character is indeed one of the best in the roster, as it introduces many mechanics no other Battle Pokemon has seen before.
