Name: Yukiko Amagi [天城 雪子]
Age: 16 (17)
DOB: December 8th, 1994
Height: 164 cm (5'5")
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Blood Type: O
Persona: Konohana Sakuya (Ultimate Persona: Amaterasu)
Weapon: Fan
Arcana: Priestess
Voice Actor(s): Ami Koshimizu (English: Amanda Winn Lee)
Appearance:
Yukiko has long, well-groomed black hair, blackish-gray eyes and very fair skin. She wears the Yasogami school uniform along with a red sweater with slightly longer skirt, her red headband, and red glasses in battle.
Biography:
Yukiko is a rich young woman who is popular with boys and girls alike. Often scoring the best during exams, she is very intelligent and often repeats the material with Chie, her best friend. As a smart, beautiful, feminine, and fair-skinned teenager, she has attracted many male characters in Inaba, but she doesn't seem to be comfortable when someone mentions her beauty. At first, Yukiko is very introverted, but she gets livelier after she is rescued from the Midnight Channel.

Health: 8,500

Playstyle:
Yukiko plays a long to medium game. She'll be doing her best to control the game and keeping the opponent from gaining any momentum. With simple combos and long-ranged normals you'll be focusing more on tactics and strategy rather then your execution. Yukiko is very reliant on her Persona, Konohana-Sakuya, without it she is probably a sitting duck as her normals will not be enough to get the job done for you. She can cover long distances with ease making her zoning tools some of the best in the game. With this comes one of the best anti-airs in the game, which is key for stopping your opponent getting in. Storing her fire boosts and such is a must, you'll need this before you begin to approach the opponent. Keep away while using your Persona to get in, it's best to go for Buffs so you can unleash unblockables and high damage combos. Overall Yukiko plays a mid range battle, keeping the enemy in check in till she is capable of dealing great amounts of damage from her buffs.

Yukiko uses two unique gauges which tell you what buffs she has currently:

- The "Fire Boost Gauge" starts at 0 and limits to 8. Her special "Fire Boost" adds 1 to this gauge while "Fire Boost High" grants her 2 bars(?).

- Her second gauge is connected with her "Fire Break". It is a marker indicating whether Yukiko has the Fire Break effect on or not. After using Fire Break, the gauge appears. If in a certain time Yukiko does not use a fire attack then the gauge will disappear. It is used to make the next fire attack unblockable.

Basics

Agi can be held to delay activation. This is important for setting up her pressure. Increasing the Fire Level makes Agi-based attacks do more damage while having the Fire Break activated makes the next Agi-based attack unblockable.

Gauge

Fire Boost increases the Fire Level by one. SB Fire Boost increases the Fire Level by two instead. In either case, each boost costs blue health to use. Fire Break makes the next fire attack unblockable. Any fire attacks already on screen will not have the unblockable property (a stored Agi before you activated Fire Break will not have the unblockable property as an example). Use this to setup unblockable situations. When in Awakening you gain access to Maragidyne which also benefits from Fire Break!

Management

Constantly assessing whether you can afford a Fire Level increase (which costs blue health) or if a Fire Break is more beneficial in certain situations is key.

[gli3]

Combo Theory

Ideally you want to end combos with Agi or a knockdown so you can setup some okizeme.

BnB's

5AAAAA (autocombo) or 5AAA > 236A > 236236C (same as autocombo) [50SP] (2A) > 5AA > 5B > 2A+B 5AA > 5B > 5C > 2C > 236B 5C > 2C > 236A > 236236C [50SP] 214214C > 214214D > 236236D [150SP]

Pressure, Oki, and Mix-up

Simple Agi ender mix-up (corner) starter > 5C > 2C > A Agi (hold A to delay the Agi activation) jump-in > release Agi > j.A (hi mix-up) jump-in > release Agi > empty jump > land > 2A (low mix-up) jump-in > release Agi > empty jump > land > throw (throw mix-up) 2D unblockable setup (corner) starter > 5C > 2C > A Agi (hold A to delay the Agi activation) > meaty 2C (opponent guards) > 2D (release Agi) dash-in > 2A (low mix-up or possibly unblockable if timed with the 2D overhead hit) dash-in > throw (throw mix-up) video demonstration

Quirky air fan throwing. You can throw fans while being really low to the ground.
