Yu Narukami is the protagonist of Persona 4 and a well-rounded, versatile character in Ultimax. He excels at mid-range combat with his sword attacks and powerful Persona, Izanagi. Yu's gameplan revolves around controlling space with his Zio (lightning) projectiles, closing the distance with his Swift Strike (236A/B) and Big Gamble (214A/B) attacks, and converting hits into high-damage combos. His Persona attacks, especially Ziodyne (236C/D), are excellent for extending combos and applying pressure. A good build for Yu focuses on consistent pressure, strong mix-ups with his overheads and lows, and efficient meter usage for SP Skills like Cross Slash (236236C/D) and Lightning Flash (214214C/D). Practice his B-button combos for reliable damage and his air-to-ground mix-ups to open up opponents.
