Character Information

Strengths

Weaknesses

Has the largest normals in the game, her anti air going almost full screen Extremely powerful zoning, ability to jail her opponents from full screen Level 1 Valor allows her to punish and combo opponents after a successful counter hit burst or if she wins bloody valor as a defender, giving her one of the strongest defense options in the game Has extremely fast homing dash speed, allowing her to punish many opponents on reaction Has many tracking moves that can punish careless opponents from full screen Has a variety of tools that allow her to set up unblockable situations for the opponent, allowing her to be a bully Her Special C is one of the best burst bait supers in the game, with extremely high counter hit damage

Slowest walk speed in the game Has low meter gain (2nd lowest) A lot of her moves cannot be cancelled like a lot of characters in the game Struggles heavily against characters with aggressive rush down Dash Steps has a bit of start up, leaving her vulnerable during the start up frames Does not have many combo paths due to a lot of her moves not being cancel able Her Special B is extremely situational, borderline useless Doesn't have many options out of dash step unlike most characters.
