Overview

The Polish Prime Minister (no joke) enters the fray. Lidia is a very stance heavy character which may make approaching her as a new player a bit awkward, but they are very rewarding if utlized well. Her HaE (Heaven And Earth) stance has a guard break highand a safe mid launcher in it, when placed properly, can lead to a deveasting mixup, especially near the wall. She has avery strong hellsweep at 16f which is very fast for one, it requires Lidia to be upclose to the opponent and it deals a lot of damage with an oki situation afterwards. She has very high damage output and great wall carry and she is generally pretty good on whiff, especially on her strings that end in a high, so it can be hard for the opponent to punish Lidia hard. While her stances are quite strong, her poking game is a bit lackluster with her lows having poor frame data and her mids not being quite strong, apart from ff2 which is a very fast ranged mid which should be your primary poke. Lidia struggles a bit with tracking at range as her homings are quite bad and the ranged moves have 0 tracking, so Lidia requires a player with a good sense of game awareness and timing to realign with the opponent with her moveset.
