General Gameplan

• Sajam Guide
• Zedd Written Guide

Neutral

• jump back throw lantern
  • While lantern is on screen
    • Threatens tp H
    • Threatens teammate tag
    • Threatens tp airdash back
    • Threatens 2S2
    • Threatens 4H
      • Can cancel this into tp
    • Allows you to sit fullscreen and use zoning buttons
• Hit H if you are in range
  • Good to stop approach.
• 4H when fullscreen
  • Use when they stay grounded.
    • Good when they commit to projectiles
    • When they start jumping switch to 2M
  • Further away you are faster it hits
  • Hold up forward as you make contact. You will only jump on hit.
  • Can combo off of it (4H j.[H] ...)
  • Can cancel 4H on block
    • Best option is tp if lantern is out
      • +4F
    • 4H > H is a true blockstring
• Poke with hook (S1)
  • Press dash to cancel charged version. Baits parry.
  • Also good to do ground ghoul if they are looking to parry
  • If you land [S1] on block do j.L or j.M
• Poke with H > S1
  • gap for parry
  • if too far do H > 4H instead
• Against slower opponents you can use ground ghoul
• When they are waiting to parry S1 or 4H
  • Do ground ghoul
  • Throw lantern
  • tp land H
• j.H very good with ground ghoul
• TP to lantern when they approach
  • tp > j.H H S1 > j.[H] ...
    • Can tack this on after a normal if lantern is already out.
  • tp > j.2H also good
  • Combo
  • Call assist to cover
• When you need to approach
  • dash H or airdash j.H
  • airdash j.2H also good
• If you have tp near them you can dash 5H tp j.H H > ...
  • 5H tp j.H L if they block
• Anti air with 2M
  • 2M j.6H j.S2 > ...
  • M better far. 2H better close
• L M > lantern tag and L M H > lantern tag are plus
• Do airdash j.H and airdash back j.H a lot
  • airdash just out of range to bait anti-airs sometimes
• Airdash j.2H very good, especially when they approach
  • Combo into L on block or hit
• Lantern makes confirms very good
• Opponent can retreating guard ground pull 4H
• L and 2L are big
  • Combo into M 6H
  • 7F startups
• M is also big
• do j.H after charged hook
• H, j.H, and j.6H are projectile invuln (on the chain)

Assists

• T lockdown assist
• 4T Good in neutral.
  • Beats zoning
  • easy to combo off of.
  • Can extend from knockdowns like throw.
• T > 2S2 (lantern ghoul) > tag
  • very good on block if lantern is out.
• H~H is puppetable
  • assist > H > T (tag) > H

Matchup Specific Advice

• Good against other zoners
• Weak close range
  • Weak against fast characters.
  • Very important to have lantern out so you can tp and escape.
• 2M or j.H Teemo float
• 4H and 4T clears Teemo mushrooms
