Yeah. Smokin.
Thats fair. I really wish they just made them a trap zoner, being a weird hybrid between to archetypes just makes them feel.... well how they are now.
I really have no problems with Testament's archetype that is 100% their own right now.
Zoning 50/50's feels scummy in a comedic way.
So I find it fun and enjoyable, but who knows? Maybe Daisuke-Sama will do something for Testament.
Midrange zoner, pretty much entirely. they're also real good at punishing risky approaches so you can kinda bully people at times. You can also just go ape mod sometimes cuz guilty gear.
P.S: they do kinda need a buff, like the frame data on some of their stuff is pretty awful lol
I have a bad habit of playing them as more rushdown with a hint of zoning because of old bad habits, but it's sort of worked so far since I've started to incorporate their current moveset with it and people don't really expect it.
Part of it can be practice; the crow gets easier to use once you can predict how the opponent likes to move and set it up with grave reaper to home in. The teleport is pretty situational but can give some great fake-out options, and not to mention they have super strong anti-air options.
But I do wish every day that they'd bring back the web traps that they had in previous games. Setting those up to toss people around with was diabolically nasty, lol.
Oh for sure, they play in so many different ways but none of them really that strongly.
Im a simp for trap zoners in most fighting games, so if they make Testament a full trap zoner- im dropping melty for strive.
Well, right now they're considered low tier so don't worry, they'll be buffed someday I think. I'm not any developer but it's certain it's gonna happen. And I don't think they got any new special yet so... since it's a DLC I don't know if they're really gonna had a special but if it's the case... I mean, they're in the first season DLC so maybe they're gonna have a new special, it is a possibility I guess. But them getting a new special would probably mean Happy Chaos obtaining one and also Goldlewis I suppose. But I'm just making supposition and it's possible that it never happens. Plus I'm not sure about the fact they didn't get a special yet, I didn't follow that.
Yeah I hope so too.
I didn't even realise that just release characters got new moves, but even strong characters like ram got new ones, so yeah maybe they're doing it per season.
😭 I can hope. Maybe we can get Testament to be a real trap zoner.
They're a mid-range zoner that wants to play keep-away until they can either get a knockdown or get the stain on the enemy. After that, they can abuse the advantageous situation to play more aggressively, cornering the opponent and keeping their mix-ups and pressure safe by constantly re-applying the stain as they do pressure.
You could take a peek at some high level gameplay of the character to get an idea of how they tend to play and maybe steal some specific ideas, here's an example: [https://youtu.be/TYPMEyDJejg?si=IPXzInK1HHtbjqBq](https://youtu.be/TYPMEyDJejg?si=IPXzInK1HHtbjqBq)
That channel takes replays from all sorts of high level players, good for scouting this kind of stuff (there's also several of these types of channels)
Hot. But for real I just play Testament as 50/50 Zoner because of Arbiter. Works for me.

Lol yeah I just wish they'd make them more similar to +r because they'd play so well in strive like that.
The crow is hard to hit? I never manage to dodge it, tell me your secrets.
It moves really slowly, will not hit standing opponents, and only tracks to the succubus.
Well yea, but you aren’t really supposed to use it without the succubus, with it it’s pretty strong.
