How to play Karasu

Karasu has three jumps, the best recovery in the game. You can chase enemies far off the stage and still fly home.
The Razor Tessen's gusts hurl enemies a long way. Aim for knock-offs near the edges rather than chipping health.
Steel Feathers fans out a volley. Fire it from above while the enemy is stuck on a lower platform.

Matchups and tier

Best matchups: Tetsu (62%), Oni-Gane (62%), Joro (38%)
Hardest matchups: Kage-Zero (8%), Kenji (12%), Tora (20%)

Win rates come from CPU-versus-CPU simulations, so they show how the kit performs, not how a skilled human plays it.

Story: Yokai · Tengu

Crow tengu and messenger of the mountain spirits, keeper of the Storm Castle's skies. A black feather was found beside the Dragon's body. Karasu says he was framed. The crows say otherwise.

“Feathers fall everywhere. So do liars.”

The open question: What message did he deliver that night? Read every suspect's file in Who killed the Shogun Dragon?
