How Fire Lord Ozai plays
At launch, the most useful short description for Fire Lord Ozai is power and space control. That label is a starting route, not a claim that the character fits only one fighting-game category. The roster is young, and stronger player discoveries can change how a toolkit is used.
A heavy damage dealer who makes broad areas dangerous and punishes opponents for contesting at the wrong time. The current entry estimate is intermediate. That describes how quickly a new player can express the basic plan, not the fighter’s competitive ceiling.
What the kit is trying to reward
- High damage
- Large threat zones
- Strong punishment

We list the confirmed mapping without assigning an unsupported “best” support. Matchup and patch evidence should decide that later.
