Question Possible H2O Boost setup/reset?

[Knoterror]

The only way I can see this not being viable is if a player can wakeup faster than the AI will in Practice mode. Standing 2~H20 Boost used near the middle of a combo has enough slowed gravity that cancelled into H20 gives you advantage. If H20 allowed it, you'd have enough time to block anything, except maybe Reptiles dash. Used in the corner, your opponent cannot jump or wakeup with anything and if they just block, they can eat an H20 Boosted throw or continued pressure.

Viable tech?

In the corner... any non teleport character will get mauled by an exboost followed by an exRH.

im not a rain player so ill leave someone else to say if its viable or not...but it does look cool as fuck

bit of a sidenot though,wakeup xray would beat it though as xray turns off all armor on screen,
maybe armored teles or radiens also

The point is that H20 Boost used in any other setup is just too dangerous. Anywhere inside midscreen can be blown up on reaction. Anywhere outside midscreen and there are too many variables for you to consider.

Here, you're not risking combo damage (because you ended with it), you have the buff, are in their face, have advantage and are forcing a guess.

technically... you can get an H2O boost off of any lightening....
