It was a glorious day for us Kitana players today, as she received NUMEROUS buffs (and one small nerf). One of the buffs she got was in her Mournful variation, in which her EX Glaive Toss no longer has a gap. With further testing, I noticed Kitana's EX Glaive was at least +9 on block. Because of those to observations, Kitana now has a very nasty frame trap that builds insane meter, safe, can be hit confirmed with ease, and can only be avoided with a block breaker.
As you can see, if she has 3 bars, she can continuously loop this, build another bar and loop it again, and finish it off with a block string that gives her half a bar back.
Here are some answers to any question that may come up:
-212 is the most damaging string that can safely cancel into ex glaive
-2 does hit high, but off of a JIP, this will jail
-both hits of ex glaive is a mid, so you cannot duck
-each loop builds about 50% of a bar
-this can be done anywhere on the screen
-if you decide to "take the hit", you're losing over 30%
EDIT: Due to the recent 7/2/15 patch, this no longer jails. 212 1st hit of ex glaive jails, but the 2ND hit can be interrupted with armor with most characters. Characters like Raiden and Erron Black have to block the 2nd hit, but can armor if Kitana tries to do another rep. Either way, ex glaive is safe on block.
