SPEED | ORIGINAL S | BLEED, STANCES & BURST
Manual PvE: more potential than simple rankings imply, with a demanding bleed/burst sequence. Arena: stance, movement and binding reward mastery. AI: it will not necessarily reproduce a carefully prepared manual strangle. [S04, S25, S52]
Talents
L > TR for the historical PvE route. BR is a second-branch alternative for PvP focus. [S03]
Cards and build
Bleed EX, the other EX, Cellophane and Present Mic appear in a detailed player build. Other discussions favor general offense or normal cards. Mirio passive can accelerate another special, but its cooldown and the time needed to rebuild bleed make the benefit conditional. [S52]
Manual play
A documented sequence completes a normal chain for bleed, changes stance with Q, uses W to reposition, dodges as needed, roots with E and delivers special into the prepared target. The order can change with the encounter. Learn the stances and bleed setup before trying to replicate high-investment burst totals. [S25, S52]
Investment
The 2023 discussion directly disputes whether Aizawa outdamages Stain. Hero rank, boost, actives and player execution differ across those anecdotes. Neither the lower rank in one tier image nor the largest reported burst is a controlled comparison. [S04]
Practice tips
Prepare bleed and land special on the same boss repeatedly. Check whether missed setup, wrong stance or aiming caused the bad run before replacing cards.
