Skills

Sample Combos
Lofty Kick → Delta Strikes → Soaring Darts
Lofty Kick launches opponents higher than most other launchers, so you may need to adjust the timing of follow-up attacks compared to other characters.
Soaring Darts → Delta Strikes → Soaring Darts
By carefully positioning yourself, you can cause the first hit of Delta Strikes to miss. This prevents the opponent from blocking the second and third hit.
VS Taylor Earhardt tips
–If you want to minimize risk rather than read your opponent, attempting to block the second hit of Delta Strikes is usually the better option.
–If Taylor is playing defensively, you can assume a block is covering up her first slot. Use this opportunity to go for a breaker!
-Just because you’ve dodged backward once doesn’t mean you’re safe. Taylor’s attacks have a deceptively long range, so be on your toes even while retreating.
-Don’t be afraid to use slow or multi-hit attacks against Taylor if she’s recently used a block. She can’t start combos with her disruptor. She’s also an attacker, so she gets less blocks than balanced or defender leaders.
Advanced Tips
Ending combos with Lofty Kick
Whenever possible, you should end a combo with Lofty Kick. Because Soaring Darts recovers slowly, Lofty Kick is her most efficient way of recovering energy
Continuing offense after Exemption Nudge
Although Exemption Nudge can’t start a combo, it still creates an advantage. Taylor recovers before her opponent if she dashes after the attack. This gives her just enough time to attempt a 50/50 mixup with Delta Strikes.
