Strategy[]

Kagami’s infamous momentum breaker, Enhoukou is a devastating command throw that cannot be teched or escaped once triggered. While its raw damage has been toned down since his boss incarnation, its tactical impact remains formidable—especially at close quarters.

Thanks to its near-instant startup, Enhoukou is the perfect answer to reckless pressure or poorly spaced attacks. It punishes unsafe moves with brutal efficiency and shifts momentum in Kagami’s favor, even against aggressive opponents.

What makes this move especially devious is Kagami’s ability to use it from a rolling getup, catching overzealous foes off guard just as they think they’ve maintained the advantage. This gives Kagami a sneaky and reliable reversal tool when rising from knockdown, adding a psychological edge to his wake-up game.

Though not a damage-dealer by modern standards, Enhoukou’s unmatched utility as a pressure reset, punishment tool, and wake-up threat cements its role as a cornerstone of Kagami’s close-range strategy.
