Story
Eltnum is a guest character who wandered into this world and set herself to teach its rookie characters a lesson.
Her efforts have been fruitful, and the successful release of the second installment of this series marks ten years of Eltnum surviving in this strange world.
Eltnum never thought she'd find a place to go back to.
But now, one has appeared; a glorious, bright, some might say luminous place.
She deeply regrets her decisions, but all the regrets in the world won't send her back.
She must find her own way home--but not before giving the rookies of this world one last lesson, of course...

I have faith that you're finally capable |

Gameplay
Eltnum is a well-rounded character who has tools for most situations, but excels as an "in your face" style rushdown character. With her 5A and 2A whiff cancel vorpal trait, it's extremely scary trying to challenge her meaty options. Eltnum can fight from a variety of ranges with the help of gun shots and ricochet shots. On defense, her kit includes both metered and meterless reversal options, decent anti-assault/throw OSes, and a 5 frame A button.
Outside of mid to close range, her moves have slow startup. Her pressure also requires lots of creativity in order to break patient defense, in the case of her strong staggers dissuading mashing. Lastly, Eltnum will suffer greatly from auto-piloting pressure, and needs to play in according to the opponent's shield habits. Overall, juggling resources while carefully watching your opponent is the core gameplan for Eltnum.

Eltnum's has 13 bullets indicated by a gauge below Eltnum's health bar. Each round starts with a full 13 bullets. When Eltnum uses gunshot moves (236A/B/C, 22A/B), the corresponding amount of bullets are consumed. If there aren't enough bullets to perform the move, Eltnum will enter a force reload animation (39f) after all bullets have been shot (in case of 236B and 22B).
Eltnum can also do a manual reload (22C, 236C) if there are missing bullets. When performing the reload move, a reload gauge will start rolling. If a button press (A/B/C) is timed properly in the white area of the reload gauge, bullets reloaded will become purple and have enhanced properties.
Eltnum can influence air momentum (Aerial Drift) by holding or after an jump, but not from a or input.
Eltnum can also do a Air Backdash by inputting or ++ while aerial. This air backdash can also be canceled into from jA, jB, jC and 421C.
Under Vorpal, Eltnum gains the ability to be able to whiff cancel 5A and 2A. Eltnum also can do Backdash cancel for any move that is special cancelable (with its restrictions if any).

Attribute | Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile |
Startup | Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash. |
Active | The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish. |

Overall | Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral. |
Advantage | The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better). |
Invul | The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute. Full = Fully invincible Strike = Strike invincible Throw = Throw invincible Head = Head invincible Foot = Foot invincible Dive = Dive invincible Projectile = Projectile invincible |

- Punishable by most cast members, but can be air backdash cancelled on block.
- Also it can be cancelled into j.214A to be safe, though this is easier on big hurtbox characters and harder on thin hurtbox characters.

- Combo tool, pressure tool, anti-air, and it also can be used as a slow overhead. This move does it all, you will be using it a lot.
- Usually you want to cancel the second hit into 22A for a scary frame trap. Then, you can start mixing up throws or pressure resets if they respect it.
- You can special cancel the first hit into dl.j214A to be plus, even on shield, against crouching opponents. Or you can special cancel into j.214B to punish shield attempts.

- A+D air throw is unique to Eltnum and Akatsuki.
- Can be used as an anti air since it would be a 6f anti air (considering jump start up) but it doesn't have any kind of invulnerability.

236A Enhanced 1 Enhanced Bullet |
850 | All | 11 | 2 | 26 | +1 | -EX-, -CS- | Projectile |
- One of Eltnum's signature moves, it can be used to pressure people at a distance, force approaches and "zone" out characters with short hitboxes.
- Since the projectile doesn't have any travel time and the hitbox appears in front of Eltnum it can win against a lot of projectiles in mid range in spite of having similar frame data.
- Can be confirmed with resources, but most commonly done with 236C.
- Can be used to hit the startup of grounded assault.

- Places Eltnum a short distance away from the opponent relative to their positioning when hit.
- Catches backdashes and walk backs.
- Both A and B versions can be used to win against projectiles if they catch their start up or recovery. Eltnum has no hurtbox during the successful hit animation and many projetiles will pass through her.
- In UNI2, now brings the opponent close to you, allowing you to easily link a 2B into a full combo. Is an excellent way to hit confirm long range normals into full combos.
- Also since the hitbox reaches somewhat high it can catch ground assaults start ups

- Mainly useful for dealing with Shield mid-blockstring, as it is a gold throw and will GRD break a shielding opponent.
- Much more telegraphed than 214B and easy to react to and jump over when not committed to anything.
- On hit, it side switches and can be followed up in a similar fashion to 236C, such as with 665B

- Can be used as a follow up with a combo or go for a reset.
- Sometimes used as a meter dump for added damage at the end of combos.
- Is air unblockable in UNI2, allowing you to do an unblockable if you catch an opponent in the air blocking 236A or 236B.
- At ranges outside of 421C this move can function as Eltnum's fastest long range move as it has 2 frames less startup than 236C. This can give unique punishes or give you a bit more time to punish the recovery an opponent's move.
