Pros and cons
Pros
- Mobile moveset with several surprise attacks and low endlag.
- Double dashes and multiple mixups let you pressure the enemy and force them onto the defensive.
- Combos deal high damage when set up properly.
- Bleedout makes opponents think twice about using moves, since you threaten Hemorrhage.
- In the awakening you are hard to touch and hard to escape thanks to the fast movement speed.
- Time Cell Moon Palace gives you a full moveset off cooldown to pick off targets caught inside.
Cons
- You must win several interactions before you can start proper combos.
- Few reliable neutral tools: self projection, short melee i-frames on Projection Breaker, a reactable Decisive Strike windup, and Bleedout and Cursory Impact that cannot extend.
- It struggles to force a ragdoll cancel, since there is little reason to ragdoll out of M1s, so opponents evasive out of frame setups.
- Vengeance only counters melee attacks and ends in your death unless you used the domain expansion.
- At maximum acceleration, Top Speed's knockback makes chaining hits very hard, especially without Flash Freezing frames.
About Head of the Hei
Naoya Zenin, leader of the Zenin clan's elite Hei unit in Jujutsu Kaisen, is the model for Head of the Hei, a free full character with 90 HP, open to everyone since V1.69. It is a mobility kit with weak basics: M1s deal only 8 total, and the front dash becomes a second side dash. The damage comes from Projection. The passive Frame Freeze stacks Projection on hit targets, and at 100% they freeze in a frame for 3 seconds, taking triple damage.
The base moves are Projection Breaker (9 damage, 18s cooldown, short melee i-frames), Bleedout (5 for the stab, then 3 per Bleed stack and 1.3 per tick of Hemorrhage, 20s), Decisive Strike (6 plus an 8-damage barrage, 18s) and Cursory Impact (12, 16s). Projection Sorcery crosses 50 studs in one second.
The awakening, Vengeance, heals 90 HP and lasts 60 seconds as a vengeful curse. Top Speed grows from 5 to 15 with each Acceleration, Flash Freezing deals 7 per frame, and the domain Time Cell Moon Palace (60s) forces the 24 FPS rule. The wiki warns that you must win several interactions before real combos start, and that Vengeance ends in your death unless you used the domain.
