Tension Conservation and Useage Thread

[Blade]

I read somewhere in the Tier list threads that Ky is high up on the list of characters who spend their Tension frequently on moves more often than others for ODs, RCs, FRCs, and Forcebreaks. I'm wondering if people have suggestions on what moves he has that Tension is better spent on, and what moves build tension the most for him, since it's such a key factor on how Ky controls his Tension. Or even what situations its better to conserve your tension rather than use it for something and how to go about doing that safely.

VT loops give you 25%+, Greed Sever loops on heavy characters like RK and PO will net you 25%+, and then all the other ways people have ways to gain tension. Obviously, the way you spend your tension is going to vary on your style, but DAAs and FBs are what I use mine on the most. DAAs are important imo because Ky's DP isn't anything spectacular. Combos including CSE FB are strong, and Mystic Cross is a hilariously useful tool, for restricting movement, and for Okizeme.
