Moon Slasher

Moon Slasher is a shared Special Move in The King of Fighters series, serving as one of Heidern and Leona's signature moves.

Description
The user swings their rear arm in a full circle, creating a ring of cutting energy around their arm.

Strategy
This move is known for both Leona and Heidern's primary anti-air special, as it is a very fast move and covers behind them. Because this move requires a charge input to be done, the move requires holding or  for 30 frames (0.5 seconds) to be done.

As for Leona's version, only the version has upper body invincibility, with the  version having no invincibility whatsoever. The version however, has full body invincibility, making it more reliable and possible to use as a reversal.

Heidern's version on the other hand, has a unique capability of causing Storm Bringer to deal more damage if this move is whiffed purposely. If a regular Moon Slasher is whiffed, a Storm Bringer that is inputted directly afterwards will deal ~25% more damage and Storm Bringer to deal ~30% more damage, while a whiffed  Moon Slasher will cause a Storm Bringer that is inputted directly afterwards to deal ~50% more damage and  Storm Bringer to deal ~65% more damage.
