SP 1st Form Frieza (Purple)

SP 1st Form Frieza PUR’s main strength is making his allies better, and he does a great job at it; he Buffs their Offenses with +30 Ki Restoration when switching to standby. His Extra Arts Card can also reduce their Substitution Counts by 3, which keeps the tyrant's Team's tempo high. 

The most impactful Support he provides comes courtesy of Buffs, +350% Inflicted Damage and a +50% Ki Recovery, that apply at the start of battle and only dissipate when the racist emperor falls. In Crisis scenarios, these Buffs allow Frieza to hold his own, becoming his own pillar of Support.

This Fighter has a rather interesting set of Defensive Abilities. His Cover Change Effect that counters Strike Attacks isn’t hard to pull off and it can be followed with either a Special or an Extra Move, with the latter being the most destructive option. 

Secondly, while his permanent +35% Sustained Damage Cut that he grants himself when switching to standby and his marginal +10% Self-Healing per switch aren’t enough to make him a dedicated Defensive Fighter, they’re nice additions that help him stay alive in the Match long enough to showcase most of his tricks.

They also contribute to his strength in Crisis scenarios, where he has both a constant Damage Buff and Sustained Damage Cut. He is a rather tricky Fighter to keep down. 

Few Supporting Fighters have an Offensive Burst comparable to this Fighter’s Ultimate Move, which possesses Blast Armor and will consistently inflict devastating Damage. The best part of Frieza’s most glorious attack is that it ignores Sustained Damage Cut, something that plenty of Meta Fighters have.

Using it in combination with this Fighter’s Extra move is generally the best way to ensure it finds its mark. The Arts Card itself Buffs its Damage by nearly 100% when every modifier Buff is applied at once. Against Saiyan foes it deals even more Damage, ensuring that the targets of his ire will not survive his onslaught. 

With his Zenkai Awakening, SP LL 1st Form Frieza PUR now gets some decent Crisis buffs when one of his allies dies. He becomes immune to all Attribute Downgrades for 30 timer counts which is really good in the current meta as there are a lot of Fighters with debuffs.

He gets a 20% Damage increase that’s uncancellable which helps him pack a harder punch and he has reduced cost to his Blast Arts which synergizes well with the +1 Card Draw Speed he gets upon entering the battlefield.
