Gameplay Overview of Yanagi and Lighter

Tsukishiro Yanagi

Characterized as an Anomaly Agent, Tsukishiro Yanagi wields a naginata to execute rapid slash attacks that inflict Electric damage. Her special skills enable her to switch her stance, which alters her available moves and the buffs she can access.

In addition, her EX special attack also includes a stance change, which enhances her dash and plunge capabilities. For her ultimate ability, Yanagi unleashes a series of devastating slashes with her naginata, dealing massive damage.

Lighter

Lighter is classified as a Stun Agent who strikes foes with his blazing fists. He employs a barrage of punches to incapacitate his enemies. Furthermore, he has the capability to diminish both Fire and Ice resistance in adversaries, making him a valuable partner for elementally-focused damage dealers.

For Lighter’s ultimate move, he attacks the ground with his fiery fist, dealing damage and staggering enemies within a wide area of effect.
