Kuroneko is a mixed assist allowing lockdown and pressure. She is a good assist for players who want a toolkit that works for nearly any situation. 5S is an excellent tool as landing even a single petal will cause hard knockdown. Kuroneko’s most feared trait is the random chance to become Kamineko which vastly improves her 5/6S. 5S is commonly used as oki that forces a 50/50 situation. However, once blocked Kuroneko can be easily pushed out through Reflection Guard.
