Calamity Overdrive

Calamity Overdrive is Krohnen's Climax Super Special Move in The King of Fighters XV.

Description
Krohnen channels all of his biometrics' energy and conjures up a gigantic metal claw, then proceeds to tear the opponent to pieces, filling up the entire screen in the process.

Strategy
Being a Climax Super that costs three bars, this is one of the reasons why Krohnen must be either second or especially third at the Order Select screen. Not only does this have excellent priority and hits full-screen, but it can also hit the opponent while they're on the ground, too (i.e., after a close or a sweep on hit).

As for dealing with it, the best range in doing so would be up close, as there's fair bit of startup before Krohnen pulls out the claw. Moves with extended periods of invulnerability like Mai's Kuzunoha or Heidern's Gae Bolg can be used to get behind Krohnen and punish him accordingly. Ryo can also parry all of the move's hits with Jyoudan Uke, though that may prove to be difficult and somewhat impractical.

Trivia

 * The claw that Krohnen uses during the move bears a striking resemblance to Otto Octavius' own mechanical arms as they appear in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy as well as Spider-Man: No Way Home.
