System mechanics and information

AoA

Watch your head!

• [27F Startup / 4F Active / 33F Recovery / -18 On Block]

• Hits overhead, faster than A guillotine if close

• Guard point from frame 10-27, does not have CH recovery

• Use sparingly as a way of varing the rhythm of your pressure, or calling out mash in specific places

• Hits less far than the axe goes, and has less range than 5B, be careful using this after longer range normals

• Weak confirm into knockdown midscreen, excellent damage in the corner (above 3.5-4k meterless, over 5k with meter)

• Can technically be confirmed into on combo, but is never optimal to do so

Sweep

Watch your feet!

• [15F Startup / 3F Active / 20F Recovery / -6 On Block]

• Chest invuln frame 4-17

  • Decent for hitting chest attribute moves like Mitsuru 5A or Margaret 5C

  • Otherwise not great for low-profiling due to Labrys' hurtbox

• Unsafe on block if done in grab range or instant blocked

• Only blockstrings into A guillotine, can frametrap into other things

• Great in combo

Throws

Ground throw

I've gotcha now

• [5F startup / 3F Active / 19F Recovery]

• High damage throw (1680 in red axe)

• Keeps Labrys relatively stationary

• Can be combo'd meterless on fatal or red axe CH

• Red axe CH conveys fatal counter status on the combo (extra hitstun)

  • Requires specific routes due to high P2 value

Air throw

Headbuttin' time

• [4F startup / 3F Active / 19F Recovery]

• Standard persona air grab, hits farther than you think

• Causes wallbounce in corner, allowing for followups with j.C

• As of 2.5, can dash afterwards if haven't dashed already, allowing for improved neutral status midscreen, or spicier combos in the corner with j.2B

Guard cancel

Get off me

• [19F Startup / 4F Active / 25F Recovery / -12 On Block]

• Guard point frames 1-21

• Uses the 5AAA animation from P4A, good hitbox covering both in front and above Labrys, as well as slightly behind her

• Somewhat slow for a guard cancel however

Instant kill

Weaver's Art: Inquisition

Bet you weren't expecting this

• [60F Startup / Active until hit / 114F Recovery / -37 On Block]

• Passable IK that can be used for punishing certain supers, even at fullscreen

• Takes time to travel across the screen, hits slightly behind Labrys

• Does not hit crouchers

• Like all IKs, cannot be combo'd into

General information

Heavy robot (must be her big heart)

• 9500 health (average)

  • Struggles harder than most to enter awakening willingly due to very slow dp

• 21F backdash (fast, but short), 1-6F invuln

• System standard roll/guard cancel roll

• System standard short hop

  • Decent options with j.2B available, and air guillotine to hit high

• 60% combo rate (tied lowest in game, means damage is front-loaded, also means enemy burst returns relatively quickly)

• Low jumps and short airdashes, not floaty at all

  • Poor as movement, but allows for simple safejump and keeps Labrys close to the ground for IABD/IAD

  • Notably different to Shadow Labrys, who is the opposite

• 3 persona cards

  • Quite problematic in 2.5, very easy to get persona broken

  • But equally, comes back quickly, and Labrys can usually combo without a persona, and neutral is mostly unaffected
