Step 1: Lock Your Leader
The official beginner guide recommends starting with the hero or villain you want to learn. Your Leader should be the fighter whose movement, defense, and short confirm you can already execute.
Step 2: Add Horizontal Coverage
The Shooting Assist travels across the stage regardless of position according to the supplied controls guide. Use it to support approach, cover space, or continue a grounded sequence.
Step 3: Add Vertical Coverage
The Vertical Assist attacks upward from its slot. Use it when your Leader needs help contesting jumps or vertical movement.
Step 4: Test Switching
After an assist, watch for the documented Switch prompt. Rotate only when the assist and screen position make the transition useful.
Step 5: Evaluate The Team
| Question | Pass condition |
|---|---|
| Does every slot have a purpose? | You can name the situation for each assist |
| Can the Leader function alone? | You can defend and confirm without random calls |
| Does the team cover air and ground? | You have documented horizontal and vertical answers |
| Can you rotate safely? | You recognize and use the Switch prompt |
Ten purposeful assist calls
Play a training round and call each assist only in its planned situation. Count calls that solve the intended problem, not total calls.
