If you evade or mash DP you're going to get blown up badly just learn how to block. The autocombos are not that bad, and no one gets over 3k; Chie is the only exception when she has 50 heat. The only pro to autocombo is some characters (Mitsuru,Chie) are blockstrings.
Totally wrong. Chie is more like Jam. She doesn't have invincible normals like noel nor the randomness of her playstyle. She's pretty basic but fun and that's why I choose her as one of my characters to play. Yu has wayyy better mixup than Ragna. I would say a mixture between Ky and Sol. Now past the shallow conversation.
This is game is really fun so far. I think after everyone gets blown up the first two weeks by mashing DP and roll, then the game will start to get serious. I advise everyone to pick your character that best suits your playstyle and to have your "waifu" or "husbu" lol.
