Special Moves

Cross Cutter (Charge b,f + P) - Heidern cross his hands in his front for a Sonic Boom style charge projectile that is very useful to keep your opponent at middle distance, but had a slow startup,A version travels slow and C is faster, only comboable with a standing opponent.

Moon Slasher (Charge d,u + P) - Heidern motion his arms like a circle to the head of his opponent, A fast startup anti air for jump in attacks, use it for punish and low combo enders.

There is a glitch related to this move: if you wiff this move, the next Storm Bringer (hcf + P), Killing Bringer (hcb + K) or Final Bringer (qcf qcf + P) will deal more damage (around 50% more). The buff ends if you are hit ou if the Final Bringer/Killing Bringer/Storm Bringer misses or is blocked.

Neck Rolling (Charge d,u + K) - A blockable grab that its a good anti air for far distance, use it after a Cross Cutter but beware if opponent block because its unsafe, recommended agaisnt projectile spammers.

Storm Bringer (hcb + P) - A short range command grab that steals your opponent's health (heals yourself). Its a good combo ender for standing opponents. It is a masheable throw. It is affected by Moon Slasher glitch bonus.

Killing Bringer (hcb + K) - A Counter Move, use B for DMs, Specials and Jump In attacks, and D version for low ones. It steals your opponent's health (heals yourself). When triggered, it is a masheable throw. It is affected by Moon Slasher glitch bonus.

Desperation Moves

Final Bringer (qcf x 2 + P) - An upgraded version of his Neck Rolling that steal opponent's health (heals yourself) that its more unsafe on block, use it as a surprise move for combo enders and rolling opponents. Moon Slasher glitch bonus.

Heidern End (qcb,hcf + K) - Its his main Super combo Ender, more safe than Final Bringer but with a slow animation.

Combos

  • cr.A x 2 > d u + C


  • cr.A, cr.B


  • cr.A / cl.B > Storm Bringer (hcb + P)


  • j.C, cr.C > Moon Slasher (d u + C)


  • A Cross Cutter (b f + A), Neck Rolling (d u + K) / qcf qcf + P

  • Corner: j.C, cl.C (2 hits) > Final Bringer (qcf qcf + P)


  • j.C, cl.C (2 hits) > Shooter Narnagel (f + B)(1 hit) > Heidern End (qcb hcf + B)


  • cr.C > qcb hcf + B

  • Far from opponent & conner: A Cross Cutter with A (b f + A), qcb hcf + D / (run, [any combo])


When you use the Moon Slasher (d u + P) glitch bonus (see on move description), DM qcf qcf + P still deals less damage than DM qcb hcf + K (just a litle less), but SDM qcf qcf + P deals more damage than SDM qcb hcf + K. In fact, with the buff bug, cl.C > SDM qcf qcf + P, will deals more damage than cl.C > f + B > SDM qcb hcf + B.
