I still use mostly piercing just from a comfort stand point. But there are still match ups where you can use ethereal and ravenous more effectively. Those two will get more time in the spotlight now that piercing has been toned down for sure. But more often then not I personally still go piercing
you'll still want to enforce that 50/50 with her strings like 21 or 2 ex roll or f12b4 or f12 ex roll, it isn't as deadly for a bar obviously, but putting the fear of the overhead in your opponents mind whether it gets you a combo or not. At lower health the mix up becomes more and more deadly when your opponent could die from an ex roll mix up. Ive found that if i use ex roll, it puts me in a great position to zone and build up that meter you just spent since you're full screen if you don't spend the second bar.
What I do now for 50/50 is that I end my combos with B12 roll, and I get a 50/50 setup off that (unless they armor, if they delay wake up, I have to press a button to slightly delay the 50/50).
Yes.
yes sir...
i don't think it would be a big deal to but imo asking for any kind of mileena buffs might incite fire lol.
Piercing is still pretty good, it is just the propaganda that B1 being a high has destroyed the character as well as two bar Ex Roll combos for those who relied on the move too much. All it really comes down to in this meta is B1 is your main footsie tool but in the poking game you have to think more. Beforehand B1 was the main answer to anything your opponent does that is safe but minus, now that is not the case.
