| Without casting it's already useful as has a constant ranged low priority block while casting, its great for assist building, dodge chains are slightly faster by casting and dodge cancelling, and pops Mateus up slightly for positioning.

| | The frame advantage Emperor gets once it hits is insane compared to most moves in the game, letting him charge half a Starfall while its still active up to the groundrush. Using it paired with already set traps and assist can be hard to deal with for certain characters and practically guarantee either another or a punish should they be forced to play risky into traps. |

| | Unlike Blue Flare it's a more defensive trap, staying out to hide behind as a shield, for tricky setups with Mines and Dreary Cell vacuum, and stop reckless dashing in the air. Just like Blue Flare, as soon as it spawns it will come out regardless if Mateus was hit. |

| One of her biggest upsides however is the reliable spacing she gives when comboing off of Thunder Crest.

| Yuna does have some disadvantages to substitute her for other assists though. She can't reflect Blue Flare with her HP assist and she is too stationary with her BRVs, making her unable to punish some HPs reflecting it back without getting assist locked. Her wallrush range is on the shorter side too, requiring to be played around for whiff punishes. | | Yuna does have some disadvantages to substitute her for other assists though. She can't reflect Blue Flare with her HP assist, a bit lacking in range, and sometimes unable to punish attacks with projectile shielding.. Her wallrush range is on the shorter side too, along with her short attack duration sometimes making converting off her in air neutral quite difficult. Her Ground BRV being generally a poor combo assist can also be unfortunate in most stages. |

| Despite being so good, other assists can do better and similar jobs in some cases to maybe consider changing around for certain matchups. Still, Yuna is likely the assist Mateus will learn to love the most. | | Despite being so good, other assists can do better and similar jobs in some cases to maybe consider changing around for certain matchups.

| His HPs are great too. Air HP is a fast, melee HP for whiff punish, and has the benefit of reflecting Blue Flare back while punishing HPs Yuna struggles with in reflect scenarios.

| He has the same downsides as Yuna with no assist chase and relying on wall/groundrush, trades safety on assist change for way more range and Melee HPs, but keeps the amazing combo friendliness that Mateus loves to make stray hits hurt. | | He has the same downsides as Yuna with no assist chase and relying on mid-range wall rush, trades safety on assist change for way more range and Melee HPs, but keeps the amazing combo friendliness that Mateus loves to make stray hits hurt. |

| Jecht has both fast air and ground BRVs for whiff punishes and gives plenty of time to line up setups to pick up from. His ground assist can be difficult to combo off of for Mateus from large ranges, requiring him to be fairly close. More importantly, it lets Mateus combo off of stray groundrush hits from Orange Flare and Dynamite on reaction, which can be a huge gamechanger in certain matchups. | | Jecht has both fast air and ground BRVs for whiff punishes and gives plenty of time to line up setups to pick up from.

| His HPs are fine enough to use in pair with traps, since Slice and Dice is mostly unbothered even with the vacuum from Mine and Dreary Cell, and with great homing to use when anticipating risky moves into Starfall attempts.

| Mateus might want to consider Tidus assist if he needs a reliable air reaction whiff punish from anywhere.
