Emperor Base & Awakening
While the Awakening abilities are still undisclosed, the base moveset is already shaping up to be one of the most advanced in the game, offering 5 different abilities that let you manipulate the flow of the match like a true emperor.
Base Moveset Breakdown
1. Emperor’s Dribble
- Key:
C - Cooldown: 50 seconds
- Effect:
- A precise, sharp dribble that lets you bypass opponents—think of it like Copycat’s Dribble but smarter.
- Automatically transitions into Emperor’s Drive if conditions are met.
Emperor’s Drive (Follow-up to Dribble)
- Key:
C(during/after Emperor’s Dribble) - Cooldown: Shares with Dribble (50 sec)
- Effect:
- A burst forward that spikes your movement, giving you a perfect shooting window.
- Can be blocked by Blink, so use it wisely against reactive opponents.
Ultimate Pass
- Key:
C - Cooldown: 50 seconds
- Effect:
- A clean dribble into an unstoppable pass to a teammate.
- Bypasses most defensive interruptions. Excellent for setting up shots.
Forced Shot (Follow-up to Ultimate Pass)
- Key:
V - Cooldown: 40 seconds
- Effect:
- The receiving player is forced to shoot instantly.
- Cannot be triggered if the target is outside the 3-point line.
- Great for surprise scoring, but positioning is key.
Emperor’s Reach (Off-the-ball utility)
- Key:
V - Cooldown: 40 seconds
- Effect:
- While activated, if you’re near an opponent and they attempt a shot or pass, you’ll steal possession automatically.
- Ideal for defensive plays and turning momentum.
Why Emperor Style Stands Out
- Vision of the Court: You’ll be reading plays before they happen.
- Combo Potential: Emperor’s Dribble + Drive → Shot makes for an elite solo play.
- Team Utility: Forced Shot and Ultimate Pass empower quick, deadly coordination.
- Defense God-Tier: Emperor’s Reach flips the script on opponents thinking they’re safe.
Emperor Style is for players who want to control every aspect of the match — from tight dribbles and clutch passes to disruptive steals and pressure shots. Whether you’re playing solo or setting up a teammate, this style rewards high IQ and split-second decision-making.
