Special Moves

Wild Strike 「牙撃 -ワイルドストライク-」 236X

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox A 700 13 4 27 -14 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - A stationary forward thrust- fairly fast startup and hits midscreen Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox B 750 12 4 33 -20 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - Same as A version, but moves her forward a very short distance Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox C 800 11 4 37 -24 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - Moves her a decent distance forward, technically has fastest startup out of the three, but also has the most recovery. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox EX 1400 11 4 62 Lance only: -33 With Follow-up: -14 SC, TCC, CAC HLA - Adds 2A+B to the move as a follow-up and knocks the opponent away, wall bounces if done in the corner Combo ender Adds 10% to Burst meter on execution, regardless of hit/block/whiff

Hikiyoseru (Pull In) 「引き寄せる」 A, B, or C after Wild Strike	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox A: 400 B: 480 C: 560 A: 5 B: 6 C: 7 4 A: 28 B: 29 C: 30 A: -9 B: -10 C: -11 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - Pulls the opponent in and knocks them down in front of you

Arrow Strike 「空撃 -アローストライク-」 214X

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox A 700 21 11 26 -10 or worse SC, EX, CAC HLA - Yukina rises into the air and lunges forward with her spear. When Yukina reaches the apex of her hop, you can cancel that animation into the A, B, or C follow-ups immediately on hit or on whiff. You can also use the follow-ups after lunging forward from 214X. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox B 700 23 13 31 -15 or worse SC, EX, CAC HLA - Nearly identical to the A version, but Yukina rises to roughly the opponent's head's height before lunging. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox C 700 25 15 34 -15 or worse SC, EX, CAC HLA - Yukina rises to about her jump height before lunging forward with her spear. Technically only hits airborne opponents. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox EX 1457 12 9 49 -5 SC, CAC HLA - The move starts similar to the B version, but Yukina will always follow up with Kahou Tosshin. The follow up creates a large ground shockwave surrounding Yukina. Adds 10% to Burst meter on execution, regardless of hit/block/whiff

Zenpou Tosshin (Forward Charge) 「前方突進」 A After 214X	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox 900 14 8 X+26 -32 or worse SC, EX, CAC HLA - The A follow-up to her 214X series. You can easily traverse a whole screen using this after a 214. Highly unsafe on block, however.

Kahou Tosshin (Descending Rush) 「下方突進」 B or C After 214X

Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox 700 B: 26 [B]/[C]: 39 C: 29 B: 4 [B]: 5 C/[C]: 6 B/C: X+28 [B]/[C]: X+26 B: -5 [B]: +3 C: -7 [C]: +1 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - A downward pierce usable on hit or whiff on 214X. The B version is active roughly at head height, whereas the C version rises further up before Yukina strikes downward. Fully charging the move provides frame advantage on block.

Heavy Strike 「重撃 -ヘビーストライク-」 j.236X

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox A A: 700 [A]: 800 A: 17 [A]: 32 7 A: 31 [A]: 25 A: -10 [A]: +2 to -2 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - Functionally the same as Yukina's B or C follow-ups to her 214X series, except that you can do in from a free air state. You can charge the move to make it safer. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox B B: 700 [B]: 800 B: 24 [A]: 39 8 B: 28 [B]: 22 B: -7 [B]: +2 to +1 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - Almost the same as the A version, but Yukina rises further up before attacking. Fully charging the move guarantees plus frames. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox C C: 700 [C]: 800 C: 27 [C]: 42 6 C: 28 [C]: 22 C: -6 [C]: +3 to +1 SC, EX, TCC, CAC HLA - Yukina rises to the top of the screen before charging downward. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard Hitbox EX 1354 8 6 18 +6 SC, TCC, CAC HLA - The quickest version of Heavy Strike. It hits twice, with the second hit causing a shockwave on the ground. Adds 10% to Burst meter on execution, regardless of hit/block/whiff
