Strengths Weaknesses
  • Zoning. Shadow Flare can pressure the opponent into taking action and follow a pace that Sephiroth dictates.
  • Aerial combat lets Sephiroth fight comfortably without ground, or relying on it.
  • Damage output is great with high attack stat, damaging braveries and HP wall rushes. Sephiroth can shred through bravery with a single assist combo.
  • Meter generation, Sephiroth builds both EX and Assist meter reliably and can be built for it
  • Builds provide ample room to optimize and adjust Sephiroth's strengths.
  • Flexible post-dodge defense with three midair HPs providing evasion or instant guard.
  • EX Mode amplifies Sephiroth's damage, but also lets reset the opponent's bravery to 0 with Heartless Angel with an assist.
  • Easy and reliable at all levels of play.
  • Anti-Zoning. Bravery Boost on Dodge and long range counters such as Firion's Shield Bash and Exdeath's block followups can limit the effectiveness of Sephiroth's zoning.
  • Linearity. Many of Sephiroth's attacks are either telegraphed or have average to poor tracking.
  • No quick air pokes. Sephiroth has attacks with early dodge cancel recovery and fast startup, but not both on a single move. The only exception is Transience which is ground only bravery.
  • Mobility is slightly worse on average overall, encouraging active use of attacks, dodges and dashes to stay on top of the competition.


Overview

Bravery Attacks

Some of Sephiroth's melee bravery attacks require two bravery inputs to complete them. The second input is a finisher which can be done early. Delaying this button press until all preceding hits have connected maximizes the damage dealt. This is what attack descriptions refer to when they say "delay combo to boost hit times."

Shadow Flare is one of Sephiroth's character-defining braveries, but the grounded version is not used often. It leaves him airborne, which is great for builds with a Pre-Jump booster accessory_booster.png, but not ideal for repeated use on the ground. A decent, supplementary bravery to start off with, but not one to be relied on throughout a fight.
