Explore Faust's unique playstyle in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. Learn his command list, special moves, and Overdrives to master his unpredictable ranged attacks and item throws.
Faust is a character with a seemingly chaotic playstyle, but possesses a method to his madness. He excels with strong ranged attacks, like the screen-spanning Thrust, and keeps opponents guessing with spacing, stance changes, and random item throws. While his From the Front/Behind/Above moves are easily blocked, they can set up more effective follow-ups. Faust also boasts an impressive air game. For a humorous experience, try landing his Kancho move.
