When to toss or charge needles

[Ping Warrior]

So, I've been messing around with FH Needles (a lot easier with a GCC than a Gamepad. Just getting my adapter back made it a lot easier to pull off), and I'm starting to struggle with timing mid match when I want to charge needles so I can combo with them, or when to just throw them at my opponent for conditioning/camping. I'm also finding that since a lot of players in my scene prefer to shield needles while running than to evade them, I can set up grabs by conditioning them to shield, but in doing so, I can't follow up with needle combos since I don't have them charged. So in short, what are y'all's thoughts on when to charge needles for followups and when to throw them to win neutral?



P.S: Sorry if this should be in the Q&A Thread, but I thought this could use multiple perspectives

's needles are really good in neutral to make opponents approach you, they are fast, throwing out a couple in succession will pressure them into doing a option and hopefully mistake so you can grab them into a chain/kill set ups.

I don't see why there's a problem with having them charged, they charge up pretty quickly, and she can easily do it with her great neutral game, just take some time between the neutral to charge up when the opponent is too far off and you can't shoot them.

As in kill confirms from needles, I can't really say, I'm not very experienced with , my mains being /, but I've practiced enough with her to point out a couple of things.
