KINO
OVERVIEW
Kino’s kit is very straightforward at first glance. 5S is a quick projectile. 6S is a combo extender. No in-between. Oki is very strong in this game and she lacks it with both her 5 and 6S. 5S could technically be used however it doesn’t reward you as other assists do. She is more suited for players who play neutral fairly well and don’t rely on oki. She’s seen more with Kirito than the other assists since Kirito’s dual wield makes up for a lot in his game plan and adding a fast assist helps him apply pressure. 6S serves as a combo tool but can be hard to connect depending on the character’s combo routes. If you don’t need oki, feel free to try her out!

MOVE DESCRIPTION

This move has overall fast start-up, projectile speed, and recovery at the cost of low damage. The projectile does not knockdown opponents requiring the player to followup with a combo if it hits.
6S
Kino takes aim then shoots diagonally upwards. This move has slow start-up and launches on hit and is generally used as a tool for combo extentions.
