|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.

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.

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|4|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>


{{ProsAndCons
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.
|intro=
|header2=Overdrive
|pros=
|content2=
* Long-ranged normals
Weiss' Overdrive powers up many aspects of her semblance. Enhancing some moves that utilize glyphs, and giving her some new ones to boot.
* Great pressure tools
* 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.
* Good defensive tools
* Weiss can cancel into {{clr|4|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.
* Proficient corner game
* Instead of [[#Ice Pillar|Ice Pillar]], {{clr|4|22A}}/{{clr|2|B}} becomes [[#Ice Shatter|Ice Shatter]], a long range freeze attack.
* Land cancels allow her to extend combos, continue pressure, maintain momentum, and/or stay defensive
* Gains access to {{clr|5|8D}} [[#Glyph Step|Glyph Step]], which works similar Izanami's hover, allowing Weiss to extend combos and blockstrings.
* 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

|unique_mechanic1_name= Semblance: Glyphs
|unique_mechanic1=
Weiss' semblance allows her to set magical glyphs around the stage by using [[#Ice Shard|Ice Shard]]. She can use the glyph by doing it by first doing [[#Glyph Dash Strike|Glyph Dash Strike]] or [[#Snowfall|Snowfall]], and then pressing (or holding down) {{clr|1|8A}}, {{clr|2|8B}}, or {{clr|3|8C}} once she is physically in contact with one. These glyphs placed on screen give Weiss additional options to follow-up her Glyph Dash Strike special with 3 specials that make use of the glyph, all with vastly different uses depending on the situation at hand.

Secondary poke tool. Unlike {{clr|1|5A}}, can hit some crouching opponents such as Makoto {{clr|3|2C}} and Kanji {{clr|3|2C}}. Can cancel into {{clr|1|2A}} on block, allowing for her to chain into her A normals ({{clr|1|5A}}, {{clr|1|5AA}}) to prolong pressure and force the opponent to make a decision. It being a 7 frame option allows for her to contest stronger round starts (Mitsuru, Ragna) and hit low profiling moves (Yosuke, Linne).

{{clr|1|5A}} is your primary poking tool that boasts good reach and fast startup. Pay attention in the range she's in when throwing this out {{clr|1|5A}}>{{clr|1|5AA}} is viable now even from the tip of the rapier. Can rebeat into {{clr|1|2A}} for pressure resets at max range. Use this move frugally, as some characters can low profile it during roundstart/pressure and completely reverse the situation(Chie, Hyde).
{{clr|2|5B}} is your primary poking tool boasting good reach and fast startup. Unlike {{clr|4|5A}}, it's hitbox only covers Myrtenaster, meaning it will whiff on many crouchers and low profile attacks.
----
* Weiss summons an ice pillar on the opponent's position.
* Cannot be cancelled into any other move.
 
{{clr|1|5AAAA}} is the smart combo ender. Weiss's smart combo is one of the higher damaging ones at 4.1k. Only used for Cross Raid ender.

The animation for {{clr|2|5B}} makes the range look deceptively short, but in truth it has almost as much range as {{clr|1|5A}} due to Weiss stepping forward. A primary anti-air tool for Weiss, you must use it cautiously as she can misstep out of her target's range and even leave herself wide open. Is most adept at covering specific jump-ins (IAD, neutral jump throw bait), but struggles against anything directly above her. Is easily whiff punishable.
<br>

ayo i need to changee the head invul that is way too much
* Launches the enemy, making air combos possible. Primary combo tool for basic routing.
* Jump-cancelable on block.
 
 
{{clr|2|5BB}} opens up a lot of options for Weiss in combos with it's float properties on hit. Be mindful of your range when chaining {{clr|2|5B}} into this, because {{clr|2|5BB}}'s hitbox is leaner than {{clr|2|5B}}'s, making it whiff at max range or if the enemy is too high. One thing to note is that because it launches the opponent relatively low, it is better to start the air combo with {{clr|2|j.B}} than {{clr|1|j.A}}, as starting with {{clr|1|j.A}} can potentially whiff due to it's hitbox. You can chain this into {{clr|2|2B}}, {{clr|3|2C}}, or {{clr|3|5C}} on block to keep the pressure going.

Larger than average range for a {{clr|4|2A}}; one of Weiss' greatest tools. During neutral you'll want to mix this with {{clr|4|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.
Unlike most 5AAAs in BBTag, she cannot chain this into other normals, only specials and super/astral inputs. On hit, this move sends the opponent sliding across the screen, making it very good for corner carry. Weiss can choose whether or not she wants to set up a glyph or safejump afterwards, making oki ambiguous.

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.
 
Moves Weiss closer to the opponent to mitigate pushback from blockstrings. Can chain into {{clr|1|2A}}, allowing for rebeat whiffs and pressure resets. Unsafe on pushblock, however, which makes it difficult to use in some matchups. Since it's travel distance changes based on how far you hit with {{clr|1|5A}} go nuts with this move.

One of Weiss' strongest pressuring tools, as it allows for potential TRM setups/tickthrows, frametraps, and even callouts.
On Counterhit, Weiss can setup a black glyph AND still have time to chain into {{clr|4|214A}}/{{clr|2|B}}/{{clr|5|D}} [[#Glyph Dash Strike|Glyph Dash Strike]], leading into massive damage.

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>


Low poke with really good range. Mostly used either during blockstrings or extend combos. Not so much a move to consider while in neutral (especially if the enemy has super meter), as it hits really low and may leave her wide open if jumped over. Unsafe on pushblock.
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.

Weiss leans forward and performs a wide sweeping slash. Slow startup, and a small hitbox. Do not use this on block, as it signifies the end of her turn. She can special cancel {{clr|3|2C}}, however there's no reason for the opponent to respect her when the move is so unsafe.

Weiss leans forward and performs a wide sweeping slash.  
<br>


Weiss pokes outward across from her, strengthening her air game. Technically counts as an overhead and offers safejump potential, but it ultimately works best against characters aerially facing or slightly above her.  
{{clr|3|6C}} is Weiss' main combo ender when she isn't cashing out. Allowing her to safely place a glyph or {{clr|4|22A}}/{{clr|2|B}} [[#Ice Pillar|Ice Pillar]] in time to meaty the opponent's wakeup.
<br>


Can chain back into itself on block after {{clr|1|j.AA}}, making it fantastic at dragging down opponents during upback attempts. It also makes Weiss one of the few characters who can reliably ladder down into  a fuzzy regardless of most heights and convert into a strong mixup, forcing the opponent to pushblock and waste meter to avoid it.
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.

Like {{clr|1|j.5AA}}, she hits downwards. Offering high/low unblockable potential with the right partner, ''this'' is the move you'll want to keep in mind more often, as it is the stronger overhead, crossup tool, and combo extender compared to {{clr|1|j.5A}}. Its only weakness in that regard is that its air game is weaker.

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

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.

Weiss summons a projectile that tracks the opponent. When holding down this move, Glyph Setup allows Weiss to create a black Glyph that stays in places and she recovers faster compared to Ice Shard input, allowing her to deceive her opponents mid-pressure and punish them in the case they attempt a counterattack. Setting glyphs is still unsafe against fast and long reaching moves though and is best used after a hard knockdown from {{clr|3|2C}} or with Assist coverage. Ice Shard is a great move to keep in mind after setting up an ice pillar. Try to mix up Ice Shard and Glyph setup during pressure to throw off your opponent and punish any challenges they may try to make.
----
{{clr|2|236B}} summons the Glyph above Weiss, positioned slightly behind the A variation. Like {{clr|1|236A}}, the projectile tracks the opponent, and Weiss recovers faster if she holds it down and sets up a Glyph rather than an Ice Shard. This version is the one that you'll reserve for her Ice Shard as its a good tool for oki.

{{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}}.

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.

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.

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.

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.
{{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.

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. Can also whiff sometimes when enemy is in last quarter of it's range.

Because of the fast speed of the attack depending on the super can be used as a combo extender. An excellent complimentary move to follow up supers like Yu's Ziodyne (236BC), Ruby's Petal Dance (214BC), Yukiko's Agidyne (236BC), and so on.

Weiss traps her enemy into a large Glyph, bombarding them with various projectiles before gracefully disintegrating them with the sword of her Arma Gigas. Whiffs if the opponent is directly in front of Weiss or not within the hitbox of the giant grounded glyph. Her astral can be combo'ed into anywhere on the screen.

Overview

Overview

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.

Smallweissicon.png Weiss is a mid-range character who uses her long normals and burst mobility to control space and create setplay oki with her semblance or Ice Pillar.
Pros Cons
  • Long-ranged normals
  • Great pressure tools
  • Proficient corner game
  • Land cancels allow her to extend combos, continue pressure, maintain momentum, and/or stay defensive
  • Can use Ice pillar (22A/B) to wall out specific characters, force an approach, or cut off rolls on wakeup
  • Fantastic corner carry
  • 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
  • Weak defensive options: Weiss lacks a reversal outside of her EA. Her closest option is Ice Parry (236D), which doesn't have invul until frame 4 and costs meter.
  • Aside from glyph follow-ups and j.C (In specific matchups), has no real way of opening opponents guard without using risky options (IAD in, glyph, etc.)

Semblance: Glyphs

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 D button she will place a White 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 D button she will place a Black Gravity Glyph which can then be used during Glyph Dash Strike or Snowfall, by pressing (or holding down) 8A, 8B, or 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.


Weiss also has access to a set of special moves that consume 25% Heat. Similar to Jin Kisaragi, all of these specials use the D button.

Overdrive

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 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 8A Twisting Air Step, 8B Piercing Air Step, or 8C Pirouette from any normal on-hit or on-block assuming a black gravity glyph is nearby.
  • Instead of Ice Pillar, 22A/B becomes Ice Shatter, a long range freeze attack.
  • Gains access to 8D Glyph Step, which works similar Izanami's hover, allowing Weiss to extend combos and blockstrings.




Normals

5A

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
375 All 7 3 12 -1 Body
  • Jump cancellable on hit.
  • Startup is two frames faster than 5B, and can OTG.


Secondary poke tool. Unlike 5B, can hit some crouching opponents. It being a 7 frame option allows for her to contest stronger round starts and hit low profiling moves.

5B

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
640 Mid 9 3 19 -5 Body
  • Jump cancellable on hit.
  • Excellent horizontal poke.
  • Excellent round starter, being able to hit most characters at round start.


5B is your primary poking tool boasting good reach and fast startup. Unlike 5A, it's hitbox only covers Myrtenaster, meaning it will whiff on many crouchers and low profile attacks.

5C

800 Mid 14 3 21 -5 Body 7~18 Head
  • Jump-cancelable on block and on hit.
  • If cancelled into from 6B, frames 1-6 are skipped

2A

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
300 All 7 3 12 -1 Foot
  • Jump-cancelable on block and on hit.
  • Chains into itself 3 times like most 2A.


Larger than average range for a 2A; one of Weiss' greatest tools. During neutral you'll want to mix this with 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.

2B

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
700 Low 12 3 18 -4 Foot

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 5C and 3C followups to whiff.

2C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
800 Mid 13 3 27 -11 Body 11~16 Head
  • Jump-cancelable on block and on hit.
  • Has the same range as 5A.
  • On-hit allows for safe Glyph setup.


Weiss leans forward and performs a wide sweeping slash. Slow startup, and a small hitbox.

Command Normals

6A

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
777 Low 12 3 23 -7 Foot
  • Great in land cancel combos


Weiss jumps forward before dropping low and stabbing with Myrtenaster. The jump travels relatively far horizontally and goes further with momentum.

Although it can only be cancelled into from 5A, 5B and 2A, 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.

On Counterhit, Weiss can setup a black glyph AND still have time to chain into 214A/B/D Glyph Dash Strike, leading into massive damage.

and this is additional data

6B

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
500, 700 Mid 12 6(2), 3 16 -4 Head, Body
  • Provides a dragdown effect. Stabilizes air confirms and allows her to chain into other normals without worry.
  • Can buffer an input to cancel into 5C or 3C, skipping the first 6 frames of each.


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, 6B is a staple of combos and blockstrings alike.

The damage shown in the above table is unscaled. If both hits connect it does a maximum of 836 damage.
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.
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.

6C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
880 High 23 3 6+15L -2 Head
  • Land cancellable
  • Fatal Counter
  • Because Weiss is airborne, most lows will miss.


Weiss' only standing overhead. Sends the opponent sliding on hit.

3C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
800 Low 16 3 27 -11 Foot
  • Has the same range as 5A
  • Great combo ender, allows for safe glyph setup on hit


Weiss leans forward and performs a wide sweeping slash.

6C is Weiss' main combo ender when she isn't cashing out. Allowing her to safely place a glyph or 22A/B Ice Pillar in time to meaty the opponent's wakeup.

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

Air Normals

j.A

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
300 High 7 3 15 Head
  • Double-jump cancellable on block and on hit.
  • Chains into itself 3 times, although the range is such that hitting even 2 before landing is difficult on most characters.

j.B

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
700 High 11 3 28 Head
  • Double-jump cancellable on block and on hit.
  • Can crossup
  • Your go-to jump-in normal
  • Can cancel into j.6B by just pressing B.

Unlike 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 j.6B.

j.6B

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
500 High 9, 16 7, 5 16 Head, Body
  • Double-jump cancellable on block and on hit.
  • Extremely active, making it a great air to air.
  • Can cancel into j.B by just pressing 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 j.6B excellent for facilitating air-ground block pressure

j.C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage Attribute Invulnerability
600 High 13 3 Until L+21L Head
  • 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 214A/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/B). Can confirm rising hit with land cancel 5A or 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.

OD:70
Until Hit White:40
Black:36
Projectile
  • Only 1 Close Glyph can exist at the same time.

Ice Shard (White Glyph) Press D

  • Fatal Counter
  • White Glyphs summon a projectile that tracks the opponent.
  • Close White Glyphs lock you out of using 2D and 4D until they disappear.

2D and 4D shoot the shot on frame 60 and 70 respectively, making 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) Hold D

  • Black Glyphs are required to use Twisting Air Step, Piercing Air Step, and Pirouette.
  • Black Glyphs last forever, but don't lock you out of 2D or 4D. Instead, they disappear when a new Close Glyph is placed or when consumed by 8A , 8B or 8C.

[2D] and [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 8A , 8B or 8C when backed up by an Ice Shard. [2D] should be your go to when placing a Black Glyph.

Ice Shard + Gravity Glyph Press D during overdrive

During OD, Weiss places down a white glyph and a black glyph on top of each other. The white glyph will be on top until it disappears, but the black glyph is still there underneath.

  • Only 1 Far Glyph can exist at the same time.

Ice Shard (White Glyph) Press D

  • Fatal Counter
  • White Glyphs summon a projectile that tracks the opponent.
  • Far White Glyphs lock you out of using 5D and 6D until they disappear.

5D and 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) Hold D

  • Black Glyphs are the resource required to use Twisting Air Step, Piercing Air Step, and Pirouette.
  • Black Glyphs last forever, but don't lock you out of 5D or 6D. Instead, they disappear when a new Far Glyph is placed or when consumed by 8A , 8B or 8C.

Glyphs can't go past the wall, so don't worry about overshooting and making your black glyph unusable.

Ice Shard + Gravity Glyph Press D during overdrive

During OD, Weiss places down a white glyph and a black glyph on top of each other. The white glyph will be on top until it disappears, but the black glyph is still there underneath.

Projectile
  • Only 1 Air Glyph can exist at the same time.
  • 5D is placed at the same height as Weiss
  • 2D is always placed at the same height relative to the ground.

Ice Shard (White Glyph) Press D

  • Fatal Counter
  • White Glyphs summon a projectile that tracks the opponent.
  • Air White Glyphs lock you out of using j.D and j.2D until they disappear.
  • Weiss jumps off her platform after using this move.

j.D and 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) Hold D

  • Black Glyphs are the resource required to use Twisting Air Step, Piercing Air Step, and Pirouette.
  • Black Glyphs last forever, but don't lock you out of 5D or 6D. Instead, they disappear when a new Far Glyph is placed or when consumed by 8A , 8B or 8C.

ALWAYS use [j.2D] before coming down with Snowfall if you have the time. The angle it's placed at ensures you will be in range to use the black glyph.

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