Heat

Heat is a resource granted to all characters at the start of each round which can be activated by either Heat Burst or a Heat Engager. During heat, all attacks deal chip damage, and some attacks gain extra properties at the cost of consuming some of the heat gauge.

Heat terms:

• Heat Burst (2+3) — Panic button that activates heat with armor, taking a small cost to the heat gauge. Can be cancelled.
• Heat Engager — Regular attack that enters heat on hit. Always +17g. If the attack has Balcony Break it can wallsplat on hit giving a combo instead of just a mix-up.
• Heat Smash (H.2+3) — Powerful attack that consumes the entire heat gauge.
• Heat Dash (H.F) — Dash cancel off of a strike, affecting the recovery for both players. Consumes the entire heat gauge. Throws that heat engage cannot be heat dashed from. Framedata varies on hit, but on block it's always +5g +18w.
