Strengths Weaknesses
  • Traps and Keepaway: Emperor specializes in Traps and Keepaway, layering multiple projects into a space to create a literal minefield for the opponent to deal with
  • Unique Win Condition: Starfall gives him a unique win condition in the form of a move that is unavoidable once it started, but takes time to be charged. This gives him a tool to force approaches and force them to interact with his traps in some way
  • Defensive mixups: Low recovery on most of his moves, projectiles staying while getting hit and low dodge recovery give Emperor plenty of options after any move to keep the opponent guessing on how to approach him
  • Assist Gain: A combination of low recovery moves, rotating them, Starfall lets Emperor quickly build assist meter while setting up his gameplan, often staying afloat in the meter economy
  • Polarizing matchups: Both a good and a bad thing. With all his upsides, Emperor lacks severely in rushdown, giving him the most polarizing matchup spread in the entire game. Some characters are outright denied with the right conditions and some give him absolute hell without stage counterpicks. Any character that can play around Starfall and traps requires a different approach to beat
  • Polarizing stage strengths: Stages change The Emperor's gameplan harder than many other characters, requiring you to sometimes learn new effective strategies for some of the more unorthodox / smaller stages

[Mid] Draw sigil on the ground. Paralyzes foe when in range.

The bread and butter of The Emperor's ground game and combos. The bane of many close range characters' existence. The Emperor draws a large sigil that travels forward on the ground for a moment before activating. Bounces off of walls and outright stops at edges. The Emperor can turn and place the crest into any direction with lock off, if it's set on neutral circle input.

Thunder Crest has a bigger hitbox than what the sigil implies, and draws in characters and assists near it once activated. It can activate as soon as it's visible if the opponent's character or assist is near it.

The damage output is good as it is at 40 damage multiplier, but it becomes even more notable when used in tandem with Mine. The last hit sends at a decent upward angle for followups.

One of Thunder Crest's standout properties is that it stays even if he gets hit while casting it until it completely vanishes. And because it's unblockable, it overrides any attack and guard. It essentially shuts down any approach going through it, making it incredibly oppressive against some characters and greatly limiting their options. This gives The Emperor more time to set up other traps around him or change strategies.
