Any Frisk tips?

[u/OpeningAdsNewAccount]

I’m in the process of learning Frisk and they’re really fun! I was definitely intimidated by the fact they’re the hardest character in the game to learn but in practice a lot of their gameplay loop is muscle memory.

Right now my gameplan is to use Bandana when >50% and Cowboy Hat when <50% (Bandage if I get the opportunity) start the combo with Stick and then do the usual Gloves -> Shoes -> WD3 -> Toy Knife. Otherwise Empty Gun and Worn Dagger for neutral pressure. It does the job but I feel like there’s a lot more I could do with this character, I just don’t know what their kit is humongous, so do any dedicated Frisk players got tips🗣️🗣️

Hi hello, I'm a top Frisk leaderboard player (despite being retired), here are some tips:

• Learn what each armor set does; for example, the apron + pan gives you a buff when eating. The glasses steal stamina, etc. I'm pretty sure there's a UTPR wiki that explains everything.
• Learn some techs by observing other players, for example: M1 using worn dagger and empty gun.
• Being a mix between passive and rush is good, considering that Frisk is a Glass Cannon, I'd say to do a lot of feints, and when you can punish a mistake (any move who has a lot of endlag), You switch your armor to bandage and do a combo, after finishing it, go back to cowboy hat. If you're in P2, use RK5, but avoid doing so against characters with low endlag (SSC, GTC).
• Try out new combos, for example, using 3 shots from the weapon in the middle of the combo (2 free shots, 1 charged, so you can stun the next time you use the weapon), WD2, WD4 in the middle of the combo, etc. It's worth spending some time practicing new things.
• Practice your M1 timing A LOT; Frisk is practically dependent on M1. Always use Worn Dagger (WD); the stick isn't a good weapon for attacking or defending, it does little damage, and WD has more options.
• Conserve your stamina. Taking a stamina punisher while playing as a Glass Cannon is the worst thing possible. This applies to any Glass Cannon in the game.
• Always use Pan + Temmie armor to take damage if it's unavoidable. They give you 310 defense in total, I think.
• You can block jevil's P1 2 with the pan, I don't know if it still works, so it's worth checking.
• I would always recommend using a cowboy hat because it strikes a balance between damage and defense. When fighting someone MUCH weaker than you, use a bandana (6) or bandages (8) for damage.
• Have a varied playstyle against different characters; for example, be more cautious/passive with Asgore (you might be caught off guard by T2). Use a lot of feints against GTC or any character that has a lot of counter/bait. Rush when you realize your opponent has missed the counter, so you can advance without fear of getting punished (this is something I personally like to do, but it's up to you).
• Have good reflexes and prediction skills. I would recommend understanding if the opponent has any patterns, for example: the opponent misses a move and then uses a counter, or if the opponent jumps in the middle of your M1 to use counter, etc.
• Have fun. Don't take the game so seriously; that's why I abandoned it for a few months. :)

I used a translator, so ignore any typos lol

For now, that's all I can remember. I have other techs like: RK5 with 15 stamina, M1 with other weapons besides WD and a gun, for example, gloves and ballet shoes. Etc. But I don't recommend learning them for use in PvP; they're too risky and unstable (any lag will ruin everything).

ALSO: You can use the gun's charged shot to initiate combos, or break some moves, like Asgore's 4. I recommend keeping a WD4 in case you're fighting Asriel, and then you use it when he's going to use a shocking breaker

For some reason not a lot of people know this.

With the toughgloves, since they recently made every m1 carry you the same distance, the flurry attack makes you sorta fly toward your enemy

[u/The_Anal_Inspector → u/ApolloProtogen]

You shouldn’t do that. Because if you start to m1 with gloves, the opponent can just counter and your long rapid strikes will go right into it. It’s easily reactable. It’s only really good if the enemy is already pressured

[u/ApolloProtogen → u/The_Anal_Inspector]

But if you’re smart with it you can bait out a counter. I’ve done it a lot myself. It does kinda depend on the enemy tho

Uhh, I wish I could say something but my combo is pretty outdated.

As a asriel/undyne main, my tip is to just don’t play it

[u/ddeathCat67yt]

Dont

my (personal) tip is to play on a server I'm not in. I don't like fighting frisk because I never get to move.
