Strengths Weaknesses
  • Threatening close-range combat - All braveries, including his lightning fast melee bravery attacks can be linked into an HP attack for consistent damage output.
  • Side by Side accessory_special.png - As a dedicated HP linker, Onion Knight benefits greatly from the accessory's assist meter gain and increases consistency for high base bravery damage builds.
  • Movement - Fast running speed, very high dash speed and quick to fall after an air dodge allow Onion Knight to approach, punish dodges, grab EX Cores and evade attacks with relative ease.
  • Whiff punishment - All bravery attacks are suitable for punishing missed attacks at different ranges.
  • Relatively safe HP links - Even when escaped with Assist Change with Precision Evasion ability equipped, Onion Knight can be difficult to punish.
  • Safe assist gauge decay reset - With Strength Booster and Magic Booster braveries, Onion Knight can sustain assist meter without putting himself at great risk.
  • EX Mode bravery damage - Damage multipliers are greatly increased across the board, allowing Onion Knight to shred through bravery.
  • High commitment whiffs - Whiffed melee braveries leave Onion Knight stationary and susceptible to whiff punishment
  • Assist meter generation on whiff - Outside of the Side by Side influx, EXP to Assist and EXP accessories, Onion Knight can struggle to build assist meter with whiffs and dashes to offset setbacks in meter economy.
  • Ranged combat - Ranged Low braveries and Ranged High HP attacks are ill-fit for occupying screen safely, on top of being vulnerable to whiff punishment from assists.
  • Lacks utility against traps - Lingering projectiles and traps such as Garland's Cyclone and The Emperor's Flare and Thunder Crest can prove very difficult for Onion Knight to break through without risk.
  • Relatively low bravery damage output - While EX Mode increases damage multipliers, lowest base attack stat and reliance on HP links often compromise Onion Knight's bravery damage potential throughout the match.
