Thrill Kill/Belladonna

Belladonna Overview Strategy Combo Strings

Overview

Belladonna is an excellent choice to learn Thrill Kill with. She has everything you need to plays the main meta perfectly: a string that attacks and launches a crouching player, safe strings to counter-hit with, and a few mix-up strings to get around blocks. Belladonna can reliably 3-touch her opponents with her high-damage mid-stage BnB juggles, and her damage in the corner is only rivaled by Dr. Faustus. With her long-reaching dash, she can utilize r-canceling to fly in at moment's notice with a string and convert it into a launcher for tons of damage.

Where Belladonna struggles the most is her very poor wake-up game. Both her Rising Cattle Prod and Splits Kick wake-up attacks have extremely poor recovery, neither hard knockdown allowing you space to breathe, and neither lead to much damage. If you get on the ropes, it can be a nightmare to get back into the game against a skilled opponent.

At a glance:
Pros	Cons
Longest dash in the game: While her dash cooldown isn't great, the distance she can close at a moment's notice makes her dangerous at any range. Great strings: Her safe punish string, mixup strings, and her crouch killer string are all solid. Great damage output: Most of her strings lead to juggles, and she can take about a third of a life bar anywhere on the stage. The Rising Prod Spin corner juggle takes almost two-thirds of a life bar if you're able to launch a cornered opponent.	Large diameter hurtbox: She has the second largest hurtbox in the game when standing. Lacks variety: While the strings she does have are very good, they offer no branching paths to mix up your opponent's block/counter timing. Terrible wakeup attacks: It can be a real struggle to get back into the game after you suffer a knockdown since both of your wakeup attacks have long recovery times, neither of them hard knockdown, and neither lead into to much damage.

	10^f	1^f	15^f	-9 / +18	10	6.6^u		-
Very good range and advantage on hit, but you're more than likely striking with something else when you counter-hit.

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	23^f	36^f	6^f	-9 / +14	10	3.8^u		-
After charging for 32^f, Belladonna becomes a shining hitbox for over a full second, zapping anyone who gets near. You cannot charge an additional Self Body Shock while you're already performing one.

Prod Poke

	16^f	3^f	17^f	-13 / -5	7	6.0^u		-
Way too slow to use on its own. Mostly comes up as a string ender.

	11^f	1^f	15^f	-9 / 0	4	2.7^u	-	-
No combo strings, bad range, and terrible advantage. Avoid using.

Rising Prod Spin

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	12^f	13^f	35^f	-30 / -7	9/hit	5.5^u		-
Your go-to string ender. It's minus on hit, but no other move matches its damage in the corner when every hit lands.

Running Prod Swing

/

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	15^f	2^f	26^f	-21 / +15	9	11.3^u		-
Mediocre startup, range, and recovery for a dash attack. An assured death for you if it gets blocked.

Front Kick

Quick Thrust

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	5^f	1^f	10^f	-4 / +4	3	4.7^u	-	Switch
An excellent button. Great startup, range, startup, hits mid, and its advantage is very good for this game.

Knee Thrust

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	5^f	1^f	15^f	-9 / +24	4	3.9^u		Switch
Stupidly fast startup and good range for a launcher. It also has a lot of travel to it which helps get closer to the corner during juggles.

Forward Heel Flip

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
File:.png	16^f	4^f	18^f	-15 / -7	9	8.4^u		Switch
Very bleh move. Long range, but very minus on hit. Avoid using.

Ball Kick

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	10^f	1^f	15^f	-9 / +46	5	4.2^u		Switch
Decent range as far as stuns go. For the most part you'll mostly use this in juggles to cancel into Rising Prod Spin as an ender.

Forward Cartwheel

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
File:.png	19^f	3^f	9^f	-3 / +4	5/hit	10.9^u	-	-
One of Belledonna's best stand-alone specials. Very slow startup, but you get superb range and low enough disadvantage that it's virtually safe on block (unless your opponent throws you on reaction, but even then you may be far enough away that they'll whiff the attempt).

Low Leg Jab From Crouch

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
File:.png	5^f	1^f	15^f	-9 / -2	2	3.5^u	-	-
Bad advantage, less range than it looks, but it strings into a mid launcher.
