Tier Rating:
Type: Assassin Fighting Style: Hybrid Difficulty: Hard Cost: 1000 Gleamium or 3000 Fighter Currency Default Tags: Caped, Human, Heroic |
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
✔︎ Has multiple Armor Breaks
✔︎ Can copy enemy moves ✔︎ Has decent mobility |
✖︎ Difficult to master
✖︎ Requires Backstab to maximize damage |
Arya's strength comes from her ability to quickly rack up damage against opponents. This is mainly attributed to her quick combos, many Armor Break attacks, and the additional damage she gets from striking opponents from behind.
Her main drawbacks are that she requires a good amount of time to master and that she can easily get rung out due to her smaller frame.
| Command | Move | Description | How to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral (Neutral + Attack) |
 Needle Strike |
Effect: Charge Arya steps back, Charges a forward rapier stab. This attack is overridden to Arya's victim's normal neutral attack of she has their Face. Attacks of other fighters have limited uses. |
Used to end of combos or as a finisher with a powerful charged attack. |
| Side (Side (Hold) + Attack) |
 Waterdancer |
Arya does a Combo while moving forward. | This is an improved version of Sharp Edges that includes a short knife slash. You can use it to close the gap between enemies or as a finisher to knock them off the platform. |
| Side (Side + Attack) |
 Sharp Edges |
A combo of rapier swing and a knife stab. | You can use this as a combo finisher due to its high knockback effect on the second hit. |
| Up (Up + Attack) |
 Upward Slash |
Effect: Charge Arya Charges and swings her sword upward. |
Use this powerful upward slash to snipe enemies from below if they are standing on a platform, or as an opener for your mid-air combos to lift your enemies off the ground. |
| Down (Down + Attack) |
Rolling Slash |
Arya calls forward, crouching under attacks, then swipes her sword downward behind her. | You can use this to get behind your enemy if they are standing too close. Whenever possible, aim to hit enemies from behind to activate your Backstab Passive, which allows you to deal increased melee damage. |
| Neutral (Neutral + Special) |
 Face-Stealer |
Arya grabs a fighter to steal their Face. Once she has a face, press the input again to send out a shockwave that Stuns enemies while Arya does a taunt disguised as that fighter. Taking ally's face has a Cooldown. | This attack makes you versatile when it comes to finishing off your enemy. Since you will be able to copy your enemy's Neutral + Special Attack, make sure you are familiar with it before using this to avoid getting punished. |
| Side (Side + Special) |
Knife-Thrower |
Effect: Projectile, Breaks Armor Arya throws a knife Projectile that can attach to fighters. Attaching tom fighters reduces Cooldownby half. Press the input again and Arya dashes to the knife'slocation, hitting enemies as she dashes. On Coool down, Arya does a spinning stab forward that Breaks Armor. |
You can use this on enemies whenever possible to break their armor. Try to look for opportunities when they are unable to move (such as when charging an attack) to ensure it lands. Additionally, if the knife lands, you can use this again to instantly teleport on top of the enemy, allowing you to immediately start your combo. |
| Up (Up + Special) |
 Dagger Slash |
Arya dies a knife swipe overhead. If she hits an enemy, she will dash in the direction they are knocked in. | Similar to Upward Slash and Whirling Stab, you can use this to launch enemies upwards with an overhead swipe. This move also propels you upwards, which you can use when recovering from a knockout. |
| Down (Down + Special) |
 Blade- Sharpener |
Effect: Breaks Armor Arya dashes to a nearby ally and gives both her and her ally a Turn Buff. Turn causes the next hit to Break Armor and turn the enemy to face away from Arya or her ally. On Cooldown, Arya does not dash, can only give herself the buff, and the duration of the buff is shorter. |
Use this skill to escape from an enemy or save yourself from a fall, as it allows you to dash to a nearby ally and grants you Turn Attack. Additionally, the buff you receive from this skill enables you to take advantage of your Backstab Passive, as it forces the enemy to face the opposite direction. |
Arya's dash attack Waterdancer is a great attack that works in many situations and can be used to start combos or prevent an opponent from recovering to the stage. While tricky to land, Knife-Thrower is a projectile you will want to be using whenever possible as this breaks armor while also allowing Arya to dash to a location.
| Command | Move | Description | How to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral (Neutral + Attack) |
Knife Flourish |
Arya twirls her knife downward and Breaks Armor. This attack is overridden by Arya's victim's normal neutral attack if she has their FACE. Attacks of other fighters have limited uses. | Perform this move as a combo opener for your horizontal combos. It can easily be followed up with Knife-Thrower to break the enemy's armor. |
| Side (Side + Attack) |
Aerial Slash |
Effect: Charge Arya Charges a forward sword slash. |
A single upward slash that can send enemies flying diagonally. You can use it as a combo extender by bouncing them off walls. |
| Up (Up + Attack) |
Whirling Stab |
Arya does an upward spin attack with her knife. | A double slash attack that can send enemies flying. Try using it as a finisher when edgeguarding while enemies are trying to recover. |
| Down (Down + Attack) |
 Stinger |
Effect: Charge Arya Charges a precision stab straight downward. |
Use this downward slash to spike enemies while they are off the platform. However, if the enemy is too far away, avoid diving, as it can be difficult for Arya to return to the platform due to her limited air movement. |
| Neutral (Neutral + Special) |
 Face-Stealer |
Same as ground. | Same as ground. |
| Side (Side + Special) |
 Knife-Thrower |
Same as ground. | Same as ground. |
| Up (Up + Special) |

| Down (Down + Special) |
 Blade- Sharpener |

Arya's aerial moves are great for finishing opponents through the top of side of the stage. Aerial Slash is one of her best moves as you can use this to approach oppoenents and ring them out at higher damage.
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| Critical Hit | Arya deals increased damage with melee attacks if she hits enemies in the back. She also gains a brief Turn Buff whenever she dodges an attack. When Arya knocks out an enemy, she will spawn a pie that will both Heal and deal a Slow Debuff to enemies. Arya also gains a brief Rage Buff when her allies are knocked out, making her next attack deal maximum stacks of Weakened Debuff. |
Due to how mobile Arya can get while fighting, her passive works extremely well when playing with allies that can also displace enemies constantly.
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★☆☆ Betrayal |
Hitting an ally with Arya's dagger gives them an enraged buff. If Arya dashes to a dagger on an ally, she enrages herself. | This is an excellent perk when used with a teammate who also rushes down the enemy. However, it is too situational, and you may be forced to waste your dagger. |
| ★★☆☆☆ Trophy |
When Arya knocks out an enemy, she automatically obtains her face. | You will be using Face-Stealer constantly during the fight as it provides you with an additional finisher to knock out the enemy. Obtaining their face after knocking them out does not provide much value during the fight. |
| ★★★☆☆ Well Rounded |
You receive a 5% boost to damage dealt and defense. | Due to the limited options, Well Rounded is the best signature perk that you can equip during one-on-one fights. |
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ Press the Advantage |
Your team applies a stack of weakened when knocking back enemies that are above 125 damage. If your teammate also selects this perk, weakaned is applied above 110 damage instead. |
Since you will be rushing down enemies to knock them out, you can use this to further improve knockback. |
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★☆ 2 Fast 2 Block |
Your dash attacks break armor. | Waterdancer is your bread and butter when it comes to performing combos. With 2 Fast 2 Block, you will be able to constantly apply armor breaks during the match. |
| ★★★☆☆ Airwalker |
Inputing a neutral dodge in the air will spawn a platform below you. This platform consumes half of your dodge meter and overrides parry. | Due to the lack of air mobility skill, it can be difficult for Arya to edge guard against enemies that are off the platform. With this perk paired with Airwalker, you can confidently eliminate enemies away from the platform. |
| Perk and Rating | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★☆ Pugilist |
Your melee attacks deal increased damage. | You can use Pugilist to further improve your damage output with your combos. Most of your attacks are melee except for the Knife Thrower, which is only used to close the gap if the enemy is playing defensive. |
| ★★★☆☆ Second Wind Beneath Your Wings |
You refresh all air abilities after ringing out an enemy. | You can pair this with Airwalker to enhance your offensive and defensive capabilities, enabling you to spike enemies and recover if you are too far away from the platform. |
 |
| Aerial Down + Attack ► Up + Attack ► Up + Special ► Aerial Up + Attack |
|---|
This is a basic combo that uses the Dagger Slash to send the opponent flying, allowing you to chain more complex combos.
|
| Aerial Down + Attack ► Down + Attack ► Side + Special ► Side + Special ► Aerial + Attack |
|---|
This combo utilizes Arya Stark's Knife-Thrower to connect additional combos and deal damage to opponents.
|
| Side + Special ► Side + Attack ► Up + Special ► Up + Attack ► Side + Attack ► Up + Attack |
|---|
This combo also utilizes Arya Stark's Knife-Thrower in order to juggle opponents upward and chain more combos or leave them open to attacks from allies.
It will be easy to punish your opponents using the Up attack and Up special. It is a good way to inflict the damage to them as well, as you can repeat it without much animation interval.
Arya's passive allows you to deal more damage when you hit your opponents from behind. It will be easy to settle a finisher once they're above 130%, so try to aim for that if given a chance! It will be hard to do in an 1-on-1 match, but it will useful on team or FFA matches.
The Knife Thrower or the side special provides great mobility, leading to more options while in the ground or air. You can either use it to follow up a combo or save yourself when falling off the stage.

Born the third child of Eddard and Catelyn Stark, Arya never wanted to be a lady or waste time with formality. She thought that was a boring task better left to her siblings. But when her father was murdered and her family deposed, young Arya found herself on a new journey that would take her across Westeros, and eventually to Essos where she trained to be a Faceless Man that transformed her into an accomplished swordswoman and deadly assassin. It was a transformation that would change the course of her life - and all of Westeros - forever.
