Azure Latch Lorenzo//Shidou Rework Update – Secret Moves
After the rework, Shidou is no longer just flashy—he’s one of the most viable and versatile players in the game. His kit now revolves around:
- High aerial play
- Multiple move variants
Game-ending combos, especially when paired with support characters like Sae
Base Abilities
1. Formless (Two Variants)
This is where things get spicy. Formless has two totally different uses depending on how you activate it:
Variant 1: Grounded Formless (Backheel Shot)
- Input: Tap Formless while grounded and facing the opposite direction
- Effect: Shidou performs a powerful backheel shot
- How to Aim: Look upward slightly, hold for half a second, then release
- Tip: Height is crucial! Always get enough air before triggering it
Variant 2: Aerial Formless (Mini-Shot Like Nagi’s)
- Input: Jump → Activate Formless while the ball is in range
- Effect: Grabs the ball mid-air and shoots it downward from above
- Best Use: Set up a self-pass or combo with a Sae side-pass to get maximum vertical height
Why It’s OP: This variant gives you the highest shot trajectory in the game, even higher than Nagi’s control
2. Backheel Shot
Simple & deadly
- Quick animation with i-frames (invincibility frames)
- Doesn’t curve, so not suitable for lineup shots
- Bonus Variant: Gets supercharged when used in Ultimate Form (more below)
3. Draconic Rush (Dash + Header Combo)
This one is tricky, but powerful once mastered.
Ground Variant
- First Press: Dash forward
- Second Press: Powerful header
- Weakness: You can’t run with the ball while activating it—set it up with a pass or self-lob
Aerial Variant
- Jump → Use: Only does the header
- Best Use: Combo with a high lob pass or self-lob and time it mid-air
Kick the ball up → as it drops into your zone, trigger Draconic Rush to retain possession while activating the move.
Ultimate Form Variants (Secret Moves)
Shidou’s Ultimate not only powers up existing abilities, it also unlocks secret enhanced versions of key moves:
1. Ultimate Formless
- Massive boost in range and speed
- Shoots the ball across the entire field
- Great for hail-mary passes or distance goals
2. Ultimate Backheel (Secret Finisher)
- Inside the goalie box? Use this move and it’s a guaranteed goal.
- Just wait until you see the “Ball Speed Reduction” message—then press Backheel Shot for an instant score.
Awakening Moves (Big Finishers)
1. Big Bang Drive
- Powerful, long-range shot with a tight downward curve
- Use it after setting up height, and aim precisely
- Good from midfield or farther with a clean line to the goal
2. Dragon Drive
- Straight shot—no curve
- Works especially well when the ball is mid-air
- Useful as a clean finisher when paired with Sae’s pass or a lob
Once you use either Big Bang or Dragon Drive, your Ultimate ends. So use your other skills first, then finish strong with one of these.
