Pros And Cons

Default Gear

Default Gear is a well-rounded character with a slight emphasis on projectiles and zoning.
Pros	Cons
Crests: Acting as delayed projectiles, Es' Crests allow her to make her mixups plus on block, and continue pressure. They can also be used as traps in neutral for zoning. Neutral: Thanks to her large normals and projectiles, Es' can make neutral difficult to navigate for most characters in the cast. Mobility: Es is very fast and has a unique airdash that's great for pressure. Great Reward: Lots of Es' combos have great corner carry, which allow her to start corner setplay quickly. She also gets great utility out of Crush Trigger.	Risky Pressure: Even with a crest backing her up, Es' pressure leaves many gaps that open her up to being exploited by IB and OD punishes. This forces many players to stick with 2A pressure, which while serviceable, is still linear Below-average Damage: Without resources, Es' average damage is subpar.
