How to play as Happy Chaos

Happy Chaos is a shooter character, which means you have more elements to keep track of compared to more balanced fighters like Sol. So let’s start by explaining the basics.

Balls and the concentration meter

Understanding the play style of Happy Chaos begins with learning its character-specific displays: Bullets and concentration. Chaos can equip up to six bullets at the same time. However, once you get involved On ready or Targeted Attitude can only strive for chaos as long as his concentration allows. Once the concentration gauge is completely depleted, Chaos will leave his shooting stance. In return, he cannot shoot again until the concentration display has regenerated. In addition, Chaos does not automatically reload the Orbs. Instead, you need the Reload Command for him to do so.

Make the most of your concentration

Is there a way to expand your concentration meter? Fortunately, there are several options. First the special train, focus, recovers a fixed amount of the concentration meter and slows its rate of exhaustion. However, keep in mind that Chaos is vulnerable when focus is activatedwhich means you have to be careful if you decide to activate it.

There is also a critically acclaimed version of Focus. The overdrive movement Super focus, completely restores the concentration display and significantly slows down the rate of exhaustion. As a result, Super Focus is an excellent buff for doing the most damage Special goal. Usually the concentration display is sufficient for a single special target shot. However, with super focus activated, you can get up to five special aim shots. The damage caused by these shots alone is equivalent to an overdrive attack.

Another buff you can take advantage of is this curse Ability that, when successfully lands, increases Chaos’s target. This ability is beneficial when it comes to fast enemies shooting across the screen.

Chaos can also make clones of himself with his scapegoat Ability at the expense of some health. This ability can help create a buffer between you and your opponent while you are reloading your weapon. However, you need to assess whether the potential damage caused by your reloaded bullets is worth the cost to your health.

Gatling combination

As with all fighters in Guilty Gear Strive, it is important to have an effective one Gatling combination is the beginning of the road to victory. One satisfactory aspect of playing as Chaos is that its shooting mechanics allow for a long series of beats.

For example, let’s say we start with a simple base for our Gatling combination:

• Close slash
• Sweep ( + D)

Adding two Heavy Slashes activates At The Ready and adds a shot to your combo. If you keep shooting, you can do a seven-beat combo. Also, if you have a moment to activate the focus before activating your gatling combo, then all of your orbs can be used. This eight-beat combo is likely to corner your opponent and cause a devastating range shift.

So the input would look like this:

• Focus ( + P)
• Close S.
• Sweep ( + D)
• (during the sweep) HS
• HS
• HS
• HS
• HS
• HS
• HS

Remember, however, that focus makes chaos vulnerable. So you have to decide for yourself whether activating Focus beforehand is worth the eighth beat (and a possible range shift) in your combo.

Fight against happy chaos

A popular tactic for Happy Chaos players is roll forward to dodge attacks and keep your distance, then fire shots at their opponent. With this in mind, you should anticipate this sequence in advance. Chaos is prone to starting Fire. Take this opportunity to throw him on the ground before he gets a chance to attack.

For example, Chaos can try to put you on the defensive by kicking it open and then rolling forward so it can shoot you from behind. However, you can quickly interrupt this sequence by pressing the dust button while holding your guard position and triggering a throw.

In return, you can also use it Flawless defense to prevent chaos from crossing you with a scroll. While it’s good to know when a roll> shoot sequence is happening, it’s even better to stop the sequence before it can occur.

But what can you do when you get caught in the crosshairs of Chaos’ weapon? An excellent tip to remember is that the more you move, the more you move, the more the target of chaos fluctuates. For example, if you notice Chaos launching a series of shots, block the first few shots with Faultless Defense, then draw with a. before Run.

Another tip to remember: Chaos cannot block while he prepares his weapon. If you catch him right now, you can punish him Middle class by hitting with a far reaching or fast lunging Attack.
