Exdeath Builds

[ProjectTitan313]

I don't think Lai works on Exdeath very well. I believe (believe, may be wrong, correct me if I am) Lai counts on every individual hit. Exdeath uses heavy one or two hit moves, so Lai has a really low chance of anything. Someone like Onion Knight on the other hand has a MUCH better use of it cause he hits you a million times. Exdeath also has great defense (second only to Chaos, tied with WoL) so it hurts his strength while not working well with his style... if you like it that's fine, I just don't think Exdeath is the best user is all. He's probably the least afraid of BRV moves out of anybody, so you could have something going.
Most of Exdeath's damage is magical, so I'd say trade Hyper Ring for Earring. Swords Dance and RP are the only physical attacks he has.

But tbh, I generally break people like harmless insects with a SbS+power build and Jecht
Hyper Ring+Earring, 10.3x (maximum) multiplier, and Judgement of Lufenia for the depletion.

Actually, question of my own. Are Assists affected by damage accessories/multipliers? I might actually get more out of Kuja if that's the case.

Iai Strike only triggers on the first hit on every attack, if it triggers at all. Iai Strike is basically more useful the weaker your attacks are.

There were some tests done on this, they are not, despite triggering depletion on assist HP hits.

I rarely use Vacuum Wave or Hurricane off a block. I usually use Sword Dance for wall rush. But Hyper Ring affects both types of damage, so that's a non-point.

Another reason I use it on Exdeath is because he has a really good Mid priority BRV attack.

[Zero_Ruzai]

From whats been said, it seems like a pure power build would be better than iai, plus it wouldn't sacrifice defense. The only attack that it'd work well with is rp, but that attack extends to greater attacks since you're near the ceiling anyway, so a power build would pretty much work better in that instance as well. Then again, were talking theory so...

[Bloodsword83]

Alright. For the Kefka matchup, get rid of Black Hole and use Shell Guard. Shell Guard is like cheating vs. Kefka. Then you can use his counter Vacuum Wave for Aeris shenanigans and pressure.

As for Omni Blocking Kuja's HP attacks, it's practice. Lots of practice.

OK, thanks
Exdeath looks really good, probably is the best character but it's probably the with which most be practiced.
Something wrong or improvable in my set?

This is what I would do:

Equipment:
Enuo's Scourge
Seal of Lufenia Equipment Set


Accessories:

Dismay Shock
Battle Hammer
Empty EX Gauge
Pre-EX Mode
Pre-EX Revenge
Aerial
After 30 Seconds (1.2)
Summon Unused
Rebellious Soul
Side by Side

After 30 seconds activates, you'll be at x6.3 while Aerial is active. Without Aerial, you'll be at x4.2. With everything active, you'll have a massive amount of EX depletion and a fair amount of Assist Depletion.

My reasoning for Seal of Lufenia is that Exdeath is really weak vs. any player who camps EX Cores or uses chase to accumulate massive amounts of EX. While using Maelstrom to keep them from getting EX Cores is good, you need to deplete as much of their EX as you can every time you get a hit in.

As for videos:

These are tourney videos. They encompass DDFF tourneys and the Ragnarok tourney, which was DFF. I hope you can learn things from them.

That's true... go to the EX Cores with Exdeath is suffering because while you go to them you can do anything.
But can fill you EX bar is always nice and Exdeath can do assist very easily without SbS.

Quick question, Is the blood set good for trolling with exdeath or should I just stick with seal/judgement of lufenia?
