Flandre Scarlet Guide

For the moveset and other stuff, see here.

Flandre is a character with good mobility and high damaging abilities. She can be a fun and destructive character to play when used correctly.

Tips
List of a few tips and notes to probably look out for.


 * Flandre's Lævateinn launches you forward, use it as your main mobility item.
 * Lævateinn's 3rd hit can be cancelled by using another move and equipping it again.
 * Using Four of a kind after the move "And then there were none?" launches you a long distance, longer than Lævateinn's launch.
 * "And then there were none?" is a really useful move with quite a long cooldown. try use it as an emergency escape to dodge high damaging attacks.
 * Lævateinn does not give a speed boost, unlike other melee moves like Sakuya's Maid knife.
 * All Flandre's attacks will shot at where your facing, so best to use shiftlock.
 * Cadadioptridic can kill someone up close, try be as close to the player as possible as an advantage.
 * If you unequip and equip the Lævateinn again before you land on the ground, it wont create the flame pillar and make you vulnerable.

How to defeat Flandre
List of a few tips and notes on how to defeat a Flandre user with any (or most) character more effeciently.


 * Try bait her into your strong attacks then you can cause her to run away. Allowing you to have a chance to strike
 * If she uses Lævateinn flame pillar, try predict what she is predicting. If she wants you to go to the right, go to the left. Or use your mobility moves.
 * Don't panic if your caught in a strong attack. Since she mainly runs around you waiting to strike. Then you can tp away or use attacks that covers alot of area.
 * If your using characters with no mobility like Patchouli, Use attacks that cause her to move to your desired location. If successfull just use a strong attack.
 * Flandre's moves are focused on close ranged, even if you run, she can chase you down with Lævateinn. If your a bait character with instant-kill attacks like Hata No Kokoro, use it when she accidentally launches herself towards you. Similar to defeating Aya.

Matchups
Now with some of the things you have learned, here is the list on how to try defeat any character with Flandre more effeciently.

vs Reimu
Reimu is an easy or hard battle. Try keep your distance if she spams Fantasy Seal, and stay close to deal huge damage once its on cooldown. Don't worry about demon binding circle. If she attacks with her Gohei and "theres a shrine maiden in a gap!" to dodge or counter, stay slightly farther and use four of a kind. Use Cadadioptridic and "And then there will be none?" combo to dodge and deal some damage if Lævateinn is on cooldown.

vs Marisa
Going against Marisa can be a even match. You each have good mobility. Stay away when she uses Meteonic shower but be close when she throws the bomb so you can deal some damage when its the right time. Predict when she is going to use Blazing star, if your close to marisa try use four of a kind then run away, or if your far try constantly launch yourself around Marisa to put pressure onto her and can leave her vulnerable to your attacks if its on cooldown. If she uses Master spark go near her and be offencive as you can so you can eventually kill her.

vs Sakuya
Going against Sakuya is a really easy battle. Her knives arn't much of a problem, the thing you should worry about is her timestop. Don't let her charge up her timestop so always predict where she is going to teleport herself. If your having trouble of predicting then use Cadadioptridic when she tries to melee you. When you have the time you can possibly escape from her timestop with "And then there will be none?" move. Four of a kind is optional.

vs Patchouli
Everything is fine at the start. ALWAYS stay away from her at all costs because of her Royal flare, it gives her an advantage since the rest of her attacks are ranged and can deal damage that really do hurt. Since she sometimes tries to bait you into Royal flare, use Lævateinn to bait her to use it and make it go into cooldown allowing you to make a strike. So you would probably win in the end.

If the player that is using Patchouli is godlike at predict shots, it might be a small nightmare for you. Try go left and right with Lævateinn and four of a kind once in range, then use "And then there will be none?" once Royal flare is activated.

Overall its a easy or close-to-lunatic Battle.

vs Remilia
Remilia seems like an easy battle, buts in reality its kind hard. The only abilities you should worry about are Heartbreak and Remilia stretch as they both have a chance to easily hit you and deal harmful damage if your not aware. Your main job is to be unpredictable and go offence at the same time. Lævateinn flame wave is your best attack to deal good damage to her and "And then there will be none?" only for emergency.

Overall its a even or hard battle. Don't stay to close, and not too far otherwise its an advantage for her.

vs Flandre
Your going against yourself. Spam Lævateinn if they try attack with the flame pillar. Cadadioptridic can come in handy if your struggling, "And then there will be none?" can also come in handy to dodge once Lævateinn is on cooldown.

Overall its an even battle (depends on skill I think). Just make the other player think that they have an advantage so you can know what moves they will do next.

vs Cirno
Its somewhat an easy battle. Icicle fall isn't much of a problem. Don't get baited by her Perfect freeze and stay away when she uses Icicle sword or Fairy spin, as they an deal quite alot of damage if your planning to dash into her. Which is sometimes exactly what she wants you to do. You don't have to worry about the cold effect that she inflicts, as you can use Lævateinn to constantly launch yourself.

Overall its a easy or even depending if she is playing Bait-and-punish or not.

vs Advent (Cirno's second form).
An upgraded version of Cirno. Its going to be much harder as she can now bait you into a way stronger attack, Cold divinity. Absolute zero isn't a big problem but Dooms rain sometimes can deal damage if you dont know what your doing. Warp strike is the ability you should most worry about. Once you see the sword be thrown at you use "And then there will be none?" to dodge the slash. If you see 2 sword (which is the Advent insta-kill combo), your probably done for. Just stay out of Warp strikes range and use Lævateinn flame pillar once she is vulnerable.

Overall its a even or hard battle, if you mastered not being baited by strong attacks and dodging them then you should be fine.

vs Rumia
Rumia is a hard battle if the player thats using her is skilled. She has good mobility and good damaging attacks. Most Rumia mains like to go offence and destroy their target. Just dodge their Night bird attack and run back and fourth when she uses Moonlight ray. Dark side of the moon has a high chance of dealing small amounts of damage to you which you probably not worry about, but the more you get damaged the higher advantage she gets.

Overall its a slightly hard battle. Just stay close to her and you have a higher chance of winning.

vs EX (Rumia's second form. Also known as EX Rumia or Rumia ex.)
Its going to be slightly easier since her attacks have a higher cooldown. all of her abilities you shouldn't worry about since you can dodge them with Lævateinn, but you should worry about Eclipse since EX mains probably have good aim. But in the end its just like Rumia. Stay close to her again like before then you have a higher chance of winning.

Overall its an slightly-harder-easy or battle. If they use "is that so~" (the move that tranforms you into EX) Then its a free win.

vs Meiling (aka Hong)
Going against meiling is a easy battle. Dont get caught in her attacks and dont stay too close. Try make her use Rainbow brilliance palm then you can strike. The rest of the moves are not much of a problem.

Overall its a easy battle. Or just fighting a sakuya with physical attacks.

vs Letty
Letty is a interesting one. Don't let her heal her health when she is low. Dodge all her attacks when she uses Frigid waltz and use Cadadioptridic if she brings you to her with Trident throw. Don't worry about cold snap. If she has the chance to use Winters storm, use "And then there will be none?" and Lævateinn to run away. Try focus to not use the Lævateinn flame pillar otherwise Letty will block and it can make you vulnerable then you could possibly die. Use Four of a kind if your struggling or combine it with Cadadioptridic.

Overall its an easy or even battle. If the Letty user knows how to counter Flandre, it's going to be a nightmare.

vs Youmu
Youmu is going to be very hard when going against with her as you both have high damaging attacks and good mobility. Predict when she is going to use Slash of eternal future, and don't get in the range of Flashing cherry blossom. If your planning to use Lævateinn flame pillar, make sure to predict where she is going to go, same for your other ranged attacks when your launching youself around her. If you get caught in Slash of eternal future, don't panic, use "And then there will be none?" after the final slash hits.

Overall its going to be a very hard battle. All it takes is prediction and not being in her range.

vs Yukari
Annoyance is key. Run back and fourth with Lævateinn to avoid her attacks. Don't get tricked by her train and "lend me those beautiful legs!" move. While dodging, use Cadadioptridic and four of a kind to constantly deal high damage to her. Use "And then there will be none?" if you get launched in the air by Lævateinn then you should be fine.

Overall its going to be a even or hard battle, might be long probably since they might tp away and get Letty colas.

vs Suika
Suika is one of your worst nightmares (despite her having to be very stronk). Suika is one of the characters that can beat up other people with ease, but a skilled Flandre user can be able to reverse that just by the power of making clones. Stay away if she is going to use specture dense and use four of a kind to make the clone go inside the Art of gaki binding range. If she uses that move, and catches the clone instead of you, you win. Because if an entity dissapears during Art of gaki binding, Suika wont be able to attack and stay still. Only if she uses Massacre on Mt.Ooe. Once she becomes giant and your not at low hp, then its going to be easier for your moves to hit since Suika has a much bigger hitbox now. If she is trying to land a grab with Massacre on Mt.Ooe then use four of a kind to possibly bait her. Otherwise if your caught then your done for.

Overall its a much harder battle than Youmu, since she is actually one of your counters.

vs Wriggle
Wriggle is going to be an easy one. Just dodge her Night bug storm and Meteors on earth. Night bug storm does home on players to almost kill them, but you can easily outrun them with Lævateinn.

Overall its a quick and easy or even battle. Its just squashing an overpowered bug.

vs Reisen
Reisen is another interesting one. She can use her clones to attack along with her becoming invisible. The bullets she shoots and her Discarder move isn't much of a problem. If the player has good aim then they use Lunatic blast, go backwards with Lævateinn. Try sending your clones out as they can defeat Reisens clones in one slash if she is 50% hp or lower.

Overall its a even battle. Don't stay too far and dont go strait forward otherwise you can be hit by her attacks.

vs Mokou
Mokou is a tough opponent to go against. Try be defensive at the start and deal quick damage at the same time. Once Mokou revives, outright rushdown her as fast as you can. Don't let her get another life and make sure not to get baited. Your best option is to stay close to her, since most of her moves are physicaly-ranged, and her Self destruct talon does not have that much range as well.

Overall its a long even battle, just go clocse to her and you will be absolutely fine.

vs Yuugi
Yuugi is HARD. Like really, with her Passive blue sheild she can crush almost anybody, without a scratch. Don't use Lævateinn flame wave otherwise she can use knock out on 3 steps or Shifting earth to protect herself from all damage, and making you vulnerable to her instant-kill combo. The best solution is to stay far, and be unpredictable.

Overall its a really hard battle. Dont use strong attacks to make her activate the blue sheild.

vs Aya
Aya is also a hard one, but not hard unlike Yuugi Mciframes. Dont let her come cloe to you and try use Lævateinn flame wave when you have the time. Use "and then there will be none?" if your caught in illusionary dominance. If she glitches you then its its just a random rat not to worry about.

Overall its an even or hard battle. Your main focus is to not get in illusionary dominance.

vs Iku
Going against Lightning Mcqueen Waifu isn't much of a problem. All you need is to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, or just fast reflexes in general. If you ever used her atleast 2 times you should know what Iku mains do.

Overall its an easy battle. All it takes is  speed .

vs Komachi
Komachi is an ant. If its a skilled Komachi then your gonna have a fun battle. Dont go too close to her and try avoid being swaped places with as well as those annoying wisps. If you feel like your going to get swaped into a middle of wisps then use "and then there will be none?" since the boost lasts for a while.

Overall its going to be one of the best and fun battles your going to experience.

vs Rin
Rin is another fun character to play around with. Harrass her and attack at the same time. All her moves you should not worry about, the only move you should worry about are the zombie faires she summons. They have good speed and can deal harmful damage. Just kill them first with four of a kind and everything will be fine.

Overall its an easy battle. Maybe add aot of pressure onto her and not attacking instead for absolute annoyance.

vs Satori
Easy win Don't let her copy you and wait for her 3rd eye to end. If you die from this hobo then you are the unluckiest person.

Just kidding. If she copies your moves, Don't worry since she cant copy Lævateinn and you have a better mobility advantage.

Overall its an easy battle and nothing important going on.

vs Koishi
An upgraded version of Satori, Just dont get baited into her call move and use Lævateinn whenever you can. If she becomes invisible, Annoy her by running to the otherside of the map.

Overall its just another Satori but slightly more fun.

vs Utsuho
So, you killed Satori and Koishi, now prepare to have a awesome battle! Just avoid her Giga flare and Creeping Sun, or just all her moves in general. Since her strong attacks are spammable and have good range, it's going to be hard to hit her. Your main abilitiy you should use is Cadadioptridic since it's strong, has good range and its spammable.

Overall its an even battle of the 2 destructive characters. But atleast its long and fun.

vs Kokoro
Kokoro is a slightly hard battle, Don't ever come close to her or else you might be caught in the instant-kill move. Try run around her as she shoots the masks, and strike once they are on cooldown or when she runs away.

Overall its a slightly hard fellow to go against. The safest spot to be in is to be far.

vs Clownpiece
It's going to be a lunatic battle if the player who is using her is lucky. Her Stripped Abyss move isn't a problem but can deal some damage. Stay close so the moons don't crush on you, but run immediately when you see the red orbs, otherwise your done for. If she uses graze inferno then you get to have a chance to strike. If however she lands on a tree, use the Lævateinn flame pillar far away, otherwise she can use Graze inferno again then use Star and Stripe.

Overall its your basic Lunatic fairy you go against.

vs Kutaka
Kutaka may be slow, but she is a powerful opponent. Stay away from Trail of Mikumari or else you will face harmful damage and be slowed. Once she uses Hell realm Sight-line then go close to her. Lævateinn and four of a kind are your best abilities to use aginst her, otherwise she will spam Trail of Oniwatari and waste your attacks.

Overall its above even and close to hard battle, and the more damage you take, the higher advantge Kutaka gets.

I think you have learnt the things for an average Flandre user, Now go out there and destroy everyone.
