- En Guarde! Once River gets into stance, she forces the opponent onto the back foot with a powerful, looping mix-up that requires no resources - the opponent must hit her to escape! Each of River's pokes in Finesse stance will deal a solid chunk of damage in addition to allowing her to drain the opponent's resource, while her own remain safely un-used in her normal hand. Instead of looping her offense, River is also able to cash-out the situation by entering into Hyper Finesse stance, a much empowered version of the stance that doesn't loop into itself. Best of all, River's Hyper Finesse options are on par with most characters' super moves, but require no meter to use!
- Can't Touch This. River has a myriad of great defensive options that keep her slippery and difficult to pin down while running her own powerful stance offense. Her ability allows her to recur her dodges for free and she has access to a powerful, safe on block super reversal. The crown jewel of her defense is her special Z dodge, which against many characters, is an un-punishable dodge - often the opponent's best strategy against Z is to just dodge!
- Card Up Her Sleeve. River's stance allows her to not have to expend cards in hand or meter to run a powerful offense; this makes her playstyle very low-cost in terms of cards and meter. Best of all, on top of her already fuel efficient play style, her innate, X, Y, and ability all draw her cards! River is very rarely left without a couple cards up her sleeve.
