Granddaughter of the renowned orbal scientist, Albert Russell, and an
apprentice at Zeiss Central Factory. Tita is working together with her
parents, Erika and Dan, to develop and optimize the Orbal Gear.
As hinted at by her age and weapon choice, Tita is Ys vs. Trails' resident glass cannon. On top of her great mobility, Tita's plethora of excellent AoEs projectiles lets her easily keep opponents away from her. On top of that, Tita can net excellent damage on a clean hit, easily breaking 2k damage (which is very rare). Besides, 3 of her Skills (technically 4) have a chance of proccing a status effect that greatly enhances either her damage (DEF Down, Burn) or her zoning (Heavy). Her offense is no slouch either, as Dark Matter EX and Devastation Blast allows her to do tons of guard damage. She can also start offense from afar with the correct build, thanks to Napalm Blast and Burst. Speaking of builds, Tita is extremely flexible in that regard, thanks to her 31 AP (second highest value in the game) and great synergy with most customization options. However, a glass cannon wouldn't be complete without the archetype's main weakness: her defense sucks. On top of her defensive stats being some of the lowest in the game, Tita's projectiles have a lot of startup frames, making it hard to immediately push away her opponents without having to Burst. The fact that her EXTRA Skill is the slowest attack in the game (5 seconds of startup!) doesn't help either, as the opponent can easily Flash Guard it on reaction and rush in again.
Tita is the perfect character for players who likes to quickly change between agression and evasion. Similar to:
Playstyle
Tita is a surprisingly well-rounded glass cannon who lives and dies by how well she can keep her momentum going.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Versatile: Tita's toolkit is surprisingly versatile, letting her easily switch between an offensive playstyle and an evasive one.
Good Damage: Tita's damage output is surprisingly high for her archetype, and can easily break 2k damage without spending too much resources.
Excellent Zoning: Tita's Skills are somewhat fast and covers tons of space, allowing her to cover approches from most angles.
Outstanding Pressure: Tita's Skills allows her to deal tons of guard damage in one string.
High Snowball Potential: Landing a guard break allows Tita to proc tons of status effects, including Heavy for more damage and better zoning.
Great Customization Freedom: Tita has the second highest AP value in the game. On top of that, her kit meshes extremely well with most customization options, making her extremely flexible in that regard.
Immunity to Flash Guard: Thanks to her projectile-only moveset, Aisha is immune to Flash Guard punishes.
Super Fragile: Like all zoners, Tita's defensive stats are among the worst in the game.
Bad Defense: Tita really struggles at close range, due to her lack of reversals and fast attacks.
Momentum Dependant: Losing momentum can very easily make Tita lose the game, due to her low health and defensive stats. This forces her to somehow always keep the pressure on.

A slow projectile that travels at an arc. Once it makes contact with something, a huge smoke cloud appears for a short moment. While still a good option for annoying opponents from afar, Smoke Cannon is severely hindered by the fact that it's main function is to inflict Blind to the opponents, which effectively does nothing.
The smoke cloud has a chance of inflicting Blind on hit.

A fast projectile that homes onto the opponent. Unlike what the in-game description might suggest, it doesn't cause DEF Down on hit. However, it compensates by doing great damage and causing a knockdown. This makes it pretty good during combos, while also being useful for zoning, thanks to the aforementioned homing.
There is a pretty large blindspot around Tita where the projectile will always miss its target

Active frames corresponds to the time Tita shoots fire
A surprisingly versatile move that helps Tita at most ranges. In neutral, it's pretty good at mid/long range, as Tita can freely cover most angles while throwing fire. This lets her control enormous amounts of space at once (even more so in the air, as it also shoots fire below Tita).
However, things gets spicier when Burst is thrown into the mix. If Tita Bursts while Napalm Blast is active, she will continue shooting out flames as normal. This is known as Napalm Burst, and works due to the move's projectile properties. Napalm Burst is excellent for pressure, as it lets Tita safely dash in and do whatever she wants for some insane guard damage. It also has some combo applications, but doing so is somewhat inconsistent.
Each hit has a chance of inflicting Burn on hit.

Hard Armor, Projectile
Tita pulls out a gatling gun and shoots 24 bullets in front of her. Pretty hard to hit due to high startup and narrow bullets, but gives good reward on hit. Due to its high amount of hits (24!), Tita is almost guaranteed to proc DEF Down if all bullets connects with the opponent.

Shoots down a huge blast to the ground, before exploding and shooting 4 projectile at all cardical directions (relative to Tita). While very slow, it makes for a surprisingly good combo fodder, since it can easily be comboed into by cancelling Dark Matter EX. With good enough timing, Tita can provoke a rehit by calling an assist, allowing her to continue the combo.

Last active frame corresponds to the moment the beam hits the opponent
Tita sits down, pulls out a computer and starts entering her opponents's coordinates, before creating a windbox shortly after. After a while, a beam is fired. The beam will always strike where the opponent stands, but it will come out quicker on locked-in opponents.
An extremely gimmicky EXTRA Skill. While its whopping 5 seconds (yes, you read that correctly) of startup makes it very bad for combos, it deals enough damage to instantly guard break every character, should they fail to Flash Guard it. This allows Tita to basically trigger a minigame, which the opponent can ignore by simply letting themselves get hit (unless Jurio and Chris are active). Its extremely long animation (again, it takes 5 seconds to hit the opponent) also makes it a decent way of forcing a time-out at the end of the match, but this rarely comes into play.
The beam will hit non locked-on opponents 3 frames after locked-on opponents
The opponent can still cast Skills or use their assist during the freeze
