|header=Overview
|content=
Weiss is a character that specializes in setups, having a tool for every situation. Whether it's using her long reaching rapier attacks to fight up close, firing ice shards to attack from afar, summoning ice pillars to block projectiles and limit the opponent's ground movements and using her semblance to do attacks that cover a lot of ground quickly or for some more tricky options, Weiss has a tool to fight comfortably in any situation. 

At the same time, these tools all have very clear pros and cons. For example, her normals often have long reach but don't hit in a wide arc like Ruby's normals. As a result, a lot of Weiss' tools need to be selectively chosen to deal with a specific problem. To get the most out of Weiss' vast toolset, you'll need to train yourself to properly recognize situations and use the appropriate tool to handle it.

While her buttons can be oppressive, Weiss is highly susceptible to pushblock, having few options to get back in on the opponent without ending her turn or wasting resources. It can be difficult for her to maintain pressure without using committal options that can be stuffed out.
|header2=Semblance: Glyphs
|content2=
Weiss' semblance allows her to set magical glyphs around the stage by using her Drive normals, holding different directions to control the location the glyph is spawned at. 
* By tapping the {{clr|5|D}} button she will place a White [[#Drive Normals|Ice Shard]] Glyph, which launches a projectile after a delay before disappearing. The timing of the shot depends on the version used. 
* By holding the {{clr|5|D}} button she will place a Black [[#Drive Normals|Gravity Glyph]] which can then be used during [[#Glyph Dash Strike|Glyph Dash Strike]] or [[#Snowfall|Snowfall]], by pressing (or holding down) {{clr|1|8A}}, {{clr|2|8B}}, or {{clr|3|8C}} once she is in close proximity to a gravity glyph. These glyphs won't disappear unless a new glyph of the same type (near/far/air) is used.  

<br>

Weiss also has access to a set of special moves that consume 25% Heat. Similar to Jin Kisaragi, all of these specials use the {{clr|5|D}} button.
|header3=Overdrive
|content3=
Weiss' Overdrive powers up many aspects of her semblance. Enhancing some moves that utilize glyphs, and giving her some new ones to boot.
* Weiss no longer has to pick between Ice Shard or a Gravity Glyph. Using any {{clr|5|D}} normals will summon both on top of each other. All white glyphs created during OD will fire the Ice Shard on frame 70.
* Weiss can cancel into {{clr|1|8A}} [[#Twisting Air Step|Twisting Air Step]], {{clr|2|8B}} [[#Piercing Air Step|Piercing Air Step]], or {{clr|3|8C}} [[#Pirouette|Pirouette]] from any normal on-hit or on-block assuming a black gravity glyph is nearby.
* Instead of [[#Ice Pillar|Ice Pillar]], {{clr|1|22A}}/{{clr|2|B}} becomes [[#Ice Shatter|Ice Shatter]], a long range freeze attack.
* Gains access to {{clr|5|8D}} [[#Glyph Step|Glyph Step]], which works similar Izanami's hover, allowing Weiss to extend combos and blockstrings.

<br>
{{ProsAndCons
|intro= [[File:Smallweissicon.png|32px]]  ''Weiss is a mid-range setplay character who uses her long normals and burst mobility to control space and create setplay opportunities with her semblance or {{clr|1|22A}}/{{clr|2|B}}/{{clr|5|D}}.''
|pros=
* Long-ranged normals
* Great pressure tools
* Good defensive tools
* Proficient corner game
* Land cancels allow her to extend combos, continue pressure, maintain momentum, and/or stay defensive
* One of the few characters with a frame 4 reversal option({{clr|3|22C}})
* Can use Ice pillar to wall out specific characters and force an approach({{clr|1|22A}}/{{clr|2|B}})
* Fantastic corner carry
|cons=
* Projectiles track but can miss easily
* Steep learning curve; requires a good understanding of neutral and proper execution to play
* Anti-air can be unreliable against specific approaches
* Aside from glyph follow-ups and {{clr|3|j.C}} (In specific matchups), has no real way of opening opponents guard without using risky options (IAD in, glyph, etc.)

Larger than average range for a {{clr|1|2A}}; one of Weiss' greatest tools. During neutral you'll want to mix this with {{clr|1|5A}} against a grounded opponent to keep them from getting up, close and personal. One of Weiss' strongest pressuring tools, as it allows for potential TRM setups/tickthrows, frametraps, and even callouts.

|description=
Low poke with really good range. Mostly used either during blockstrings or to extend combos. Not so much a move to consider while in neutral, as it has long startup and hits really low, leaving her wide open if jumped over. This move is highly susceptible to barrier, as it can cause {{clr|3|5C}} and {{clr|3|3C}} followups to whiff.

* Great in land cancel combos
<br>
Weiss jumps forward before dropping low and stabbing with Myrtenaster. The jump travels relatively far horizontally and goes further with momentum.
<br>

Although it can only be cancelled into from {{clr|1|5A}} and {{clr|1|2A}}, {{clr|1|6A}} is a great fakeout tool when used in stagger pressure.  
On hit, this move sends the opponent sliding, making it a decent combo ender [or extender with black glyphs]. Weiss can choose whether or not she wants to set up a glyph/pillar or safejump afterwards.
<br>

On Counterhit, Weiss can setup a black glyph AND still have time to chain into {{clr|1|214A}}/{{clr|2|B}}/{{clr|5|D}} [[#Glyph Dash Strike|Glyph Dash Strike]], leading into massive damage.

|description=
* Provides a dragdown effect. Stabilizes air confirms and allows her to chain into other normals without worry.
* Can buffer an input to cancel into {{clr|3|5C}} or {{clr|3|3C}}, skipping the first 6 frames of each. 
<br>
Weiss leaps forward whilst backflipping and kicks down hard on the landing. Horizontal jump distance increases with distance from the opponent and can go more than half screen at max range. Weiss' main way to resist barrier, {{clr|2|6B}} is a staple of combos and blockstrings alike.
<br>

The damage shown in the above table is unscaled. If both hits connect it does a maximum of 836 damage.<br>
The startup shown in the above table refers to the first hit. The second hit always happens when Weiss lands, the timing of which can vary if used during [[#Glyph Step|Glyph Step]].<br>
The active frames shown in the above table can be a bit confusing. 6(2) means that the first hit lasts 6 frames continuously, but is divided between 2 frames of animation, each lasting 3 frames. The 3 refers to the second hit.

* Has the same range as {{clr|1|5A}}
* Great combo ender, allows for safe glyph setup on hit
<br>
Weiss leans forward and performs a wide sweeping slash. 
<br>

{{clr|3|6C}} is Weiss' main combo ender when she isn't cashing out. Allowing her to safely place a glyph or {{clr|1|22A}}/{{clr|2|B}} [[#Ice Pillar|Ice Pillar]] in time to meaty the opponent's wakeup.
<br>

NEVER use this on block. {{clr|3|6C}} has slow startup, and a surprisingly small hitbox, making it reactable and susceptible to whiffing at mid range.

Unlike {{clr|2|j.6B}}, she hits downwards. This is a move you'll want to keep in mind more often, as it is the stronger overhead, crossup tool, and combo extender compared to {{clr|2|j.6B}}.

* Double-jump cancellable on block and on hit.
* Extremely active, making it a great air to air.
* Can cancel into {{clr|2|j.B}} by just pressing {{clr|2|B}}.

Weiss stabs straight forward, leaving a lingering hitbox as she holds out her sword. The second hitbox can multihit, and also covers her leg which can lead to character specific combos. Due to how long the move lasts, it is extremely likely that you will land before it ends even if used while rising, making it effectively more plus on block. This makes it {{clr|2|j.6B}} excellent for facilitating air-ground block pressure

* Slightly propels Weiss up if she is falling beyond a certain speed. 
* Causes a hard knockdown on hit, making it essential for routing. 
* Is an IOH in some matchups, but whiffs on short characters.
* +1 if land cancelled.

Once inputted, Weiss must commit to this move until she lands. However, with the power of {{clr|1|214A}}/{{clr|2|214B}} landcanceling, you can omit this rule and act freely as desired. 17 frame overhead, and offers high/low potential in specific matchups. From this point, you can land-cancel (214~x A/{{clr|2|B}}). Can confirm rising hit with land cancel {{clr|1|5A}} or {{clr|2|6B}}, and can go into heavy damage if a Black Gravity Glyph is nearby. 
 
As Forward Air Dash moves her upwards, she won't be moving fast enough to cause the upwards propulsion after an IAD, making this for great jump-ins leading into land cancel pressure.

{{clr|5|2D}} and {{clr|5|4D}} shoot the shot on frame 60 and 70 respectively, making {{clr|5|2D}} the fastest out of all of Weiss' drive versions.  This is somewhat offset by the fact that they will likely spawn farther from your opponent. These traits can be used to make certain approaches safer by having the Ice Shard cover your startup or recovery.

'''Gravity Glyph (Black Glyph)''' {{InputBadge|{{clr|5|Hold D}}}}<br>
* Black Glyphs are required to use [[#Twisting Air Step|Twisting Air Step]], [[#Piercing Air Step|Piercing Air Step]], and [[#Pirouette|Pirouette]].

{{clr|5|[2D]}} and {{clr|5|[4D]}} are incredibly useful midscreen oki tools. Forcing the opponent to face glyph pressure on wakeup or roll. It can also be used to enable quick approaches with {{clr|1|8A}} , {{clr|2|8B}} or {{clr|3|8C}} when backed up by an Ice Shard. {{clr|5|[2D]}} should be your go to when placing a Black Glyph.

{{clr|5|5D}} and {{clr|5|6D}} both shoot the shot on frame 90, which is the longest out of all of Weiss' drive versions, making it even harder to use these in neutral. This is somewhat offset by the fact that they will likely spawn closer to your opponent. The long startup also makes it useful for block pressure after oki, especially in the corner.

'''Gravity Glyph (Black Glyph)''' {{InputBadge|{{clr|5|Hold D}}}}<br>

{{clr|5|j.D}} and {{clr|5|j.2D}} both shoot the shot on frame 90, which can leave enough time to come down with an air-ground and perform a riskier blockstring once landed with protection from the shot. Somewhat niche as the hop at the end can make it awkward.

'''Gravity Glyph (Black Glyph)''' {{InputBadge|{{clr|5|Hold D}}}}<br>

ALWAYS use {{clr|5|[j.2D]}} before coming down with [[#Snowfall|Snowfall]] if you have the time. The angle it's placed at ensures you will be in range to use the black glyph.<br>

{{clr|5|[j.D]}} is usually only used right before landing or when you want to use {{clr|5|[5D]}} but need the Far Glyph slot open for Ice Shard.

* In corner can cancel into {{clr|1|236[A]}} glyph setup to make extended combo (and end again in a glyph setup).

Can convert into {{clr|2|214B}}>{{clr|1|2A}} but only when the glyph turns black, so pay attention, or you'll whiff the {{clr|1|2A}}. An alternative, easier method is simply dash {{clr|1|6A}} into a confirm. Also, be careful when throwing into astral--if you input 222BC too soon, the astral will whiff. You'll need to take a brief beat before inputting. In the corner, you'll have to do throw>{{clr|1|214[A]}}>222BC.

Weiss' DP. Hits all around her as well as in the air, but its range it short, so it doesn't reach ''that'' high up. Great for active switch bypassing, and can be used as an aerial unblockable setup. Like all other DPs, its very unsafe on block, so use this with care.

* Holding the button will make Weiss feint doing the Glyph Dash Strike. Feinting allows to end block-strings comparably safe while baiting out reactions.
* Travels full screen now.

{{clr|1|214A}} can be a decent poke in neutral or to punish whiffs.
----
* Good for combos w/assists

{{clr|2|214B}} travels full screen and has a second follow up hit where Weiss leaps upward with a rising slash. The second hit has a lot of untech time, making it a perfect spot to call an assist to extend your combo. When held down, {{clr|2|214B}} acts as a feint but slower, compared to {{clr|1|214A}}. You can use these feints combined with assists to deceive and throw off your opponent, especially with glyph setups, making Weiss' game more scarier to deal with.

{{BBTag Move Card|game=BBTag

|description=
* Startup of and approximate range of A, but does a 2-hit followup similar to B on hit OR block
* Combo tool
* Wall bounces the enemy
Weiss dashes forward slashing with her rapier, slashes the opponent into the air, and then thrusts them away. Because it has an 214X input, she is able to access Glyph followup moves {{clr|1|8A}}/{{clr|2|8B}}/{{clr|3|8C}} at any time. Good for corner carry. Does have no feint version. Is highly situational and very unsafe on-block and on-whiff, making it mostly only useful for combo enders.
As of v1.5 the recovery is reduced, allowing you to continue a combo after landing it, making for extreme corner carry in some situations.

Weiss dives downward. On CH she can follow up. She can also use this move as an assist crossup tool before she hits the ground. Can be used as an air combo finisher after {{clr|3|j.C}}, and can cancel into an Astral while in Resonance Blaze. It is advised not to use this unless its used to end a combo since she can easily be hit out of this attack.
----
* Has a more horizontal trajectory than the A variant.

B version has slower startup, but deals more damage. Can follow up on counter hit, used as an assist crossup tool and can be used as an air combo finisher after jC.

* Rising followup attack makes it extremely unsafe on block
* Same trajectory as B variant

Weiss dives down and thrusts her rapier upward upon landing. She's able to use {{clr|1|8A}}/{{clr|2|8B}}/{{clr|3|8C}} afterwards, ideally for aerial glyphs. Use this as an assist crossup tool, otherwise it's very unsafe on block and on whiff. On hit Weiss recovers fast enough to follow up with {{clr|1|4A}}/{{clr|1|2A}} allowing for better extensions/enders when used mid-combo

* Accessible during any of Weiss's 214x and j.214x specials when near a Glyph.
* Causes a hard knockdown on hit.
* Overhead.

Weiss crosses up the opponent and hits them with a downward slash similar to {{clr|3|j.C}}. Must be blocked high, so it has high/low unblockable setup potential. Since the move lifts her upward, if there is another glyph above her afterwards, she can immediately act off of that glyph right away. Can be followed up with {{clr|1|2A}}.

* Accessible during any of Weiss's 214x or j.214x specials when near a Glyph
* Not an overhead
* Has invincibility against body attribute attacks 

Weiss leaps back and dives down on the enemy, similar to her j.214x specials. Since Weiss creates space between her and the enemy, you'll use this move to bait out DPs, hard-hitting grounded attacks, or moves with poor recovery (such as Yukiko's {{clr|1|5A}} or Yosuke's {{clr|2|5B}}). Great starter on CH, though on normal hit you can follow up wit {{clr|1|2A}} just as well. The aerial version of this move has Weiss take a brief beat before lunging at the opponent. The window to input {{clr|2|8B}} is fairly large, which works well when combined with this move and its mid-invulnerable properties, so keep that in mind when utilizing it.

* Accessible during any of Weiss's 214x and j.214x specials when near a Glyph.

* Mainly used in combos

Safe on block. The aerial version has Weiss jump from screen to screen, so it's nice to consider if you want to get away from the opponent (and set up a {{clr|2|22B}} pillar afterwards). Since it's plus on block, it's a good way to continue your pressure, so its a good choice to use instead of Twisting Air Step.

Summons a chunk of ice. {{clr|1|22A}} allows her to {{clr|1|4A}}/{{clr|1|5A}} more safely, as can hop over it afterwards regardless of hit or block. It is ideal to use this after pushblocking or after {{clr|2|2B}} or {{clr|3|2C}}. Cancels out most projectiles, like Tager's Spark Bolt and Ruby's {{clr|1|236A}}, but doesn't fully cancel out Hyde's {{clr|1|236A}} (which is a multi-hitting projectile). Note, because it places farther away than Ice Pillar B, using it after {{clr|3|2C}} or {{clr|2|2B}} will box the enemy in so if you want to create space for yourself then this move should not be used.
----
* Can not be moved through
* Slower and taller than A version
* Has 750 health before breaking
* Has armor against projectiles
* Placed closer than Ice Pillar A

Summons a bigger chunk of ice. Has slower startup than {{clr|1|22A}}, but has a taller hurtbox and is much sturdier than {{clr|1|22A}}, albeit cannot be hopped over. Interesting to note is that specifically vs Hyde, it is an invaluable tool as {{clr|2|22B}} blockades him from hitting you during his incoming down attack. It can be used after {{clr|2|2B}} or {{clr|3|2C}}, but the only difference with this version is that it will keep the enemy away from her.

{{BBTag Move Card|game=BBTag
|input=22C,22C Attack

|description=
* Negates projectiles
* Parry

Counterattacks if the opponent touches the shield. Also works on supers and astrals. Does not work on command grabs.

Weiss is invul for the full duration if the parry is triggered, however it will still recover at the same time, so be ready to block if you parry a long lasting super.

Projectiles will trigger the invuln but not the counterattack. 

On activation, follow up with {{clr|1|5A}} or a faster move. On grounded catch it seems to be about +12, on aerial hit it's about +14, so you can go for {{clr|2|5B}} in that case. In most cases you will get a CH off this so feel free to confirm with the big moves. Will reach moves with long range, such as Gordeau {{clr|2|5B}} or Blake {{clr|2|5BB}}. Excellent reaction tool, but be careful not to heavily rely on this move, as you can get thrown out during its animation.

This move only travels about 3/4s of the full screen, so don't use this move if they are completely fullscreen. In the corner, you can use this move to get out free should they jump. On block, it is unsafe, so be careful. It does very rarely hit on enemies in the air, so don't cancel into it from {{clr|2|5BB}} but use e.g. 5B2B instead.
