Tips and Tricks[]

Red Velvet is an offensive utility fighter with a Signature Ability that revolves around inflicting HEX on the opponent. Any attempt for the opponent to TAG OUT will be greeted with three new random DEBUFFS that can cripple most fighters if RNG favors the player. As one of the very few fighters that can inflict HEX consistently and reliably, Red Velvet is a crucial fighter to have in teams to defeat defenders reliant on their Signature Abilities much easier.

Red Velvet has easy access to HEX, which completely shuts down opponent Signature Abilities, but is largely hindered by her abysmal base ATK stat. Thus, Red Velvet will need all the help and stat investment to actually deal good damage. Another option is to simply TAG IN a stronger fighter once HEX has been inflicted on the opponent.
- Claw & Order can reset the HEX placed by Red Velvet while doing large amounts of damage, making her one of the best partners for Red Velvet. Shadow Puppet can fulfill the same role, but is harder to get and raise, while also having less consistency on her ability to reset timers.

While HEX disables Signature Abilities, it cannot disable Marquee or Prestige Abilities. Depending on whether the opponent has these two unlocked, this may complicate fights. The earlier mentioned combination of Claw & Order and Red Velvet for example is very susceptible to Painwheel's Marquee Ability, as the former is very reliant on crits in order to work properly.

Marquee Ability: Either Marquee Ability will work well with Red Velvet. RITUAL SACRIFICE can be useful to quickly charge up blockbusters, allowing her to inflict HEX faster. Meanwhile, BLOOD OATH can be useful as a safety-net when a mistake is made to get her back to full health.

Stat Investment: As with any other offensive fighter, Red Velvet will benefit from investment in ATK, Piercing and Meter Gain to increase her overall damage output while quickly charging meter for blockbuster usage.

This variant is a reference to Velvet, the Witch of Elrit from the Odin Sphere video game series with its caption being a direct quote from a line said by the witches in Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
