Playstyle
Hibiki's attacks are meant for strategy, as several of them cause different debuffs, which opens up opportunities for other members in the party. Her character system is the Weapon Shift. All three of her weapons, Accelerando, Cantabile, and Furioso, are available for use in attacking her enemies. They each have different attributes, and depending on which weapon she is currently using, her basic attack will change. Her weapons can be changed with a basic move or with a certain skill.
