Onion Knight is a | Onion Knight is a close-range character with great movement, fast melee bravery attacks and a few ranged attacks to punish careless defensive play. One of his character defining traits is the abundance of HP links - All of Onion Knight's bravery attacks can branch out into an HP attack. With lightning fast melee braveries, this makes HP damage output consistent and enables burst damage with [[Customisation_Guide_for_Online_Battles_(Dissidia_012)#Damage_(high_base_bravery)|'''high base bravery builds''']], whenever assist is available. | ||
Onion Knight is an agile character all around, with some of the fastest dash ''and'' run speeds in the game. It's a great asset when playing either offensively or defensively. He can pursue retreating characters such as {{012kef}} and punish them for air dodging. [[EX_(Dissidia_012)#EX_Core|'''EX Cores''']] are no problem either, which Onion Knight can consistently hunt down to deny valuable EX for his opponent. High calibre running speed also helps Onion Knight avoid attacks by simply running, which can complicate matters even for characters with good tracking such as {{012fir}} and {{012squ}}. To top it all off, his fall speed ratio after a dodge makes him difficult to hit after an air dodge. | |||
Both EX and Assist build styles work well, with assist pulling ahead in overall consistency and damage output thanks to high base bravery and Side by Side. EX generation, while good, often falls behind in comparison to HP damage as it is backloaded into HP attacks and magic bravery enders. However, his above average base defense at 111 also lets him invest into base bravery and HP with less risk. | |||
These are all great qualities, but they're not without caveats. While Onion Knight's melee braveries are unreactable on startup and stay active for a good moment, they make him vulnerable to whiff punishes, moreso against attacks with higher priority or tracking. His ranged projectiles are too slow for occupying space and are better suited as punishers instead. Generating assist meter safely with whiffs is also difficult due to prolonged attacks or telegraphed low priority projectiles. And with his stationary attack motions and only fast Melee High attack being on the ground, Onion Knight struggles against lingering high priority projectiles and traps. Characters like {{012ulti}} and {{012emp}} can consistently skew Onion Knight's risk-reward ratio in their favor, as he has very few ways to bypass such projectiles safely once they're out. | |||
Historically Onion Knight has been ranked as high tier or mid tier in competitive play. His straightforward gameplan, ease of use and consistency make him a comfortable pick at many levels of play. Meter generation is largely geared towards HP hit and EX Cores, but sustaining resources is much easier. While he performs a lot better with assist, investing into EX is still a viable strategy if it's required. Although his utility and gameplay diversity fall a bit short, Onion Knight is more than capable of standing toe to toe with much of the cast, such as {{012wol}}, {{012golb}} and {{012zid}}. | |||
