A girl who - in spite of her young age - became Ouroboros Enforcer
No. XV, the Angel of Slaughter. She was among those responsible for
the Libel Ark incident. She elected to flee from the society with
her Gordias-class archaism, Pater-Mater, and is currently in hiding.
Renne is what you would expect from a scythe-wielding anime fighting game child: she's very fast and very annoying. While her normals are slow and doesn't have that much range, she compensates by being one of the fastest characters in the game. This lets her create lots of distance with ease during neutral, which plays into her most unique aspect: the ability to turn her opponents into sitting ducks after a combo. Clock Down can easily be comboed into from most of Renne's common routes, and is generally guaranteed to proc Heavy, which basically shuts down her opponent's mobility. Once her opponent is Heavy'd, Renne can safely do whatever she wants, like replenish her SP stock or just waste time and run the clock. She can even exploit Heavy to greatly increase her damage output! While her control over her opponents sounds overpowered on paper, Renne remains a very highly demanding character. For starters, her combos can require some finesse, especially without the help of accessories. Secondly, neutral can be quite exhausting for her, as any mistake can spell disaster for Renne. Finally, Renne's entire design philosophy can very easily backfire and make her lose if she lets the opponent gain a strong lead. Since her high damage is mostly locked behind Heavy, which she can only apply if she's winning.
Renne is recommended for players who loves to play lame and win by time-out. Similar to: Sonic
Playstyle
Renne is a quick and nimble character who excels at making her opponents waste their time, due to her on-command access to Heavy.
Strengths
Weaknesses
High Mobility: Renne is one of the fastest characters in the game, letting her easily run in circles around her opponents.
Outstanding Timer Scam: Renne's mobility, zoning Skills and on-command access to Heavy makes her the best character in the game at timing people out.
High Damage Potential: Renne's damage output skyrockets on Heavy'd opponents, as it becomes easier for her to land her most damaging Skills.
Cheap Skills: Renne's Skills are some of the cheapest in the game, with all of them costing less than 40 SP. This allows her to use more Skills at once before having to refuel.
High AP: Renne has some of the most AP in the game, making her very customizable.
Status Reliant: Renne is at her best when she gets to apply Heavy. As such, her gameplan becomes much weaker if her opponent makes themselves immune to Heavy.
Weak at Close Range: Renne's normals are overall quite slow, making it hard to defend herself during close range encounters. Her low defensive stats doesn't help either.
Interactive Zoning: Unlike the other zoners in this game, Renne actually has to interact with her opponents in neutral, especially if she wants to generate some SP.
Struggles to Catch Up: Renne's kit is built for chipping her opponents out. As such, making comebacks can be quite difficult for her.

Very good combo moves that also acts as decent air-to-airs. j.A is arguably Renne's best starter, as it easily combos into Calamity Blast on grounded opponents. j.B, on the other hand, is almost exclusively used as combo filler.

A very unique Falling Attack, in that it's neither a projectile, a divekick or a spike. Instead, Renne suddenly advances forward while striking. This makes it an excellent poke, as well as an important combo tool since it gives Renne lots of momentum.

Excellent defensive attack. While the animation is long, it's also active for a very long time. On top of that, it can be walk cancelled much earlier than expected, allowing Renne to use it as a sort of shield. This greatly helps her in the midrange, as her normals function quite poorly at that range. While its vertical range is very lacking, she can still cancel it into Crescent Edge in order to cover aerial approaches.
