Overview

Prishe is a fast close-range fighter with a variety of melee braveries that can be mixed and matched to create different combos. This is done via customization rather than spontaneous combo routing, and combining specific attacks lead to a "Skillchain" reaction for additional bravery damage.

Prishe is best known for her risk-averse defensive play in close quarters. Her most effective braveries have fast startup, short recovery or both and they lead to solid reward on hit. Raging Fists and One-Inch Punch form the crux of her strategy here, with delayable advancing strikes and high priority mixups respectively to deter approaching opponents. Prishe's dash speed is among the fastest in the game without EX Mode, which helps her chase down opponents and EX Cores when it is needed. Combined with her fast fall speed that makes her air dodges very difficult to punish, Prishe is a textbook example of effective "hit and run" in Dissidia 012. Building assist gauge safely via whiffs is a hallmark of a strong character and she has adequate damage output, assist synergy and dodge punish capability to support it.

Prishe's builds lean towards EX and bravery damage and Adamant Chains special effect accentuates her safe air dodges further. She doesn't work well with Side by Side due to her average HPs and lack of solo HP combos.

Her weaknesses are a bit more nuanced; While Prishe's braveries are difficult to punish, she also cannot cancel their recovery into a block or a different attack. This limits her overall potential for defensive mind games, even though it is effective as is. Most of her attacks have lackluster vertical tracking and utility against long active disjoints outside of her poking range. The primary ways to get around this are with resources, movement or a slower high priority move (charged One-Inch Punch or Backhand Blow) which is reactable. Her single hit HPs are also situational which complicates EX Revenge checkmate situations. And lastly, Prishe suffers from a bravery slot dilemma similiar to Vaan due to the abundance of viable combo chains. Though her viable loadouts are proven in competition, she can only ever have three aerial bravery chains at a time.

In competitive play, Prishe has been frequently ranked as one of the best characters in the game. Her gameplan is consistent, reliable and relatively ease to execute in most matchups, making her a notable choice for blind picks. Matchups that may give her trouble such as The Emperor and Ultimecia still provide her opportunities to work with resources, so she is rarely at a serious disadvantage that is comparable to low tier characters.

Bravery Attacks

Many of Prishe's bravery attacks can be chained into a separate, equippable bravery followup. The starting bravery is noted as "(One)" and the followup is noted as "(Two)" in the game.

The list of followups remain the same for every bravery attack starter and thus, will be listed separately.

Unique Mechanics: Skillchain

Damage multiplier	Type	EX Force
5	Physical	0

When certain bravery attacks are chained together, Prishe will activate a Skillchain. This is a burst of energy that deals additional bravery damage, which occurs alongside Prishe's current attack. When a Skillchain is activated, its name will also be displayed at the top of the screen, much like HP attacks and EX Mode activations.

Skillchains only activate with physical bravery attack chains. Banish, Holy and HP attacks will not activate a Skillchain.

The following table lists all viable combinations for a Skillchain.

Skillchain	Starter	Finisher
Compression	Howling Fist	One Inch Punch
Detonation	Combo Howling Fist One Inch Punch Raging Fists Shoulder Tackle Spinning Attack	Backhand Blow
Fusion	Spinning Attack	Combo Howling Fist Raging Fists Shoulder Tackle Spinning Attack
Gravitation	Backhand Blow	One Inch Punch
Impaction	Shoulder Tackle	Combo Howling Fist Raging Fists Shoulder Tackle Spinning Attack
Liquefaction	Combo Howling Fist Raging Fists	Spinning Attack
Reverberation	Howling Fist	Shoulder Tackle
Transfixion	One Inch Punch	Howling Fist

Backhand Blow finishers are great for setting up Kuja assist combos and the Skillchain activates off of her most practical starters. That makes Detonation one of the more practical Skillchains. Howling Fist finisher provides a bit more flexibility in setting up aerial assist combos (Chase or Wall Rush) at the cost of bravery damage or EX Force depending on its charge level.

Skillchains are often Prishe's 3rd best choices for follow-up; They are good on select high bravery damage focused sets, but are otherwise outclassed in reward or utility by Prishe's other follow-ups. Prishe can only assign one bravery attack chain per bravery slot, which restricts the viability of Skillchains overall. However, the input timing for connecting charged attacks during Skillchains is more generous compared to more optimal follow-ups. This is not due to the Skillchain system specifically, but the synergy between bravery attacks in a chain (frame data and hit stun).

Prishe Assist Overview

Prishe is one of the weaker assists in the game with couple notable strengths and plenty of weaknesses to offset them. She can provide practical combos off of ground wall rushes and represent a Melee High priority hitbox in Backhand Blow. However, her short combo time, reliance on wall rush and slow startup on her air bravery limit Prishe's viability overall.

Howling Fist

Combo: Howling Fist (One) > Raging Fists (Two)

Prishe works best off of ground wall rushes with this move. Prishe won't charge Howling Fist which makes this a relatively fast assist on startup. The Raging Fists ender has decent hold, but moves the opponent quickly in one direction. The Assist Chase ender is what ties everything together and HP linkers who can wall rush on the floor like Cloud and Jecht have no problem following up.

The total bravery damage is rather low, but it is better than nothing.

Backhand Blow

Combo: Backhand Blow (One) > Shoulder Tackle (Two)

Backhand Blow is quite slow on startup to be used reliably as a midair assist combo starter, but Prishe can still pick up opponents off of regular wall rushes. Its quick wall rush finisher makes follow-ups difficult if not impractical though. Being the only 1-bar Melee High air BRV assist in the game offers the unique utility of setting up checkmate situations where other assists cannot, such as against Jecht Block.

Aerial bravery assists are most commonly used in whiff punishes and combos alike, so Backhand Blow being the way it is leaves a lot to be desired.

Nullifying Dropkick

Nullifying Dropkick is slow on startup, but it can be used sparingly as a hard callout tool against grounded opponents thanks to its active frames and lateral reach. Because it is a single hit HP, it can quickly end a match if the opponent is not prepared for it.

Assists

Prishe works well with Kuja and Aerith assists.
