Frayed Ends is a Fire, Bronze Filia variant.
Tips and Tricks[]
Role & Strategy[]
- Frayed Ends is a fighter with a Signature Ability that revolves around BLEED effects, similar to Bad Hair Day. However, she requires getting hit to inflict BLEED instead, making it more difficult to constantly apply BLEED without losing some health relying on just her Signature Ability.
- Although her first Signature Ability may make her look like a defensive variant, Frayed Ends has poor base stats and can be defeated with relative ease. Hence, it is best to use her for offense, although Bad Hair Day is usually a better alternative on that front.
- When facing Frayed Ends, simply use fighters that can gain IMMUNITY from TAUNTS such as Squigly, Peacock, and Parasoul to completely nullify her abilities. Using low hit-count characters such as Cerebella, Painwheel, and Beowulf is also recommended, reducing the chances of her ability activating.
- Filia as a character has a number of BLEED-inflicting moves at her disposal, so it is not necessary for Frayed Ends to rely on just her Signature Ability for BLEEDs. Equip moves such as FRENCH TWIST, RINGLET SPIKE and GREGOR SAMSON, all of which (have a chance to) inflict BLEED, to wear down the opponent. THE FIRST CUT is the recommended Marquee Ability for her, as it allows her to convert BLEEDS inflicted into permanent BLEEDS.
- While BLEED is inflicted, Frayed Ends deals damage comparable to Gold-tier Filias, making her damage output higher than it may seem on paper, despite having the lowest base ATK stat of all Filias. However, BLEEDs still usually do most of her damage output, so in practice it's not very influential.
- However, it is important to watch out for fighters that are IMMUNE to BLEED such as Bloodbath and Valentine with the ICU Marquee Ability, as they will convert those BLEEDS into REGEN, nullifying Filia's BLEEDS.
- Marquee Ability: THE FIRST CUT is recommended for Frayed Ends to turn BLEEDS into permanent BLEEDS which will ensure that she can gain bonus damage from her second Signature Ability at all times.
- Stat Investment: Similar to Bad Hair Day, Frayed Ends has poor base stats and relies completely on BLEEDS to do any damage. Thus, survivability is key and investing in HP, Defense and Block Proficiency can help her last longer in fights. Meter Gain is especially useful to charge multi-hit blockbusters faster to increase BLEED chance.
