Lambda-11/Move List

Health: 10,000 Movement: 1 Double Jump/Airdash, Run-type Dash

Although Lambda retains mostly the same basic playstyle as her predecessor, Nu, she has been toned down and is no longer as overpowering as she was in the original game. While she can still effectively zone and approach with her swords and make approaching difficult for the opponent, they are a fair bit slower but gatling into more of her close range options such as 4B. In comparison to Nu, Lambda has quite a few more close range options at her disposal, namely her Act Parcer moves, allowing her to get in and out of trouble and rack up some serious damage. Her overwhelming damage potential has also been toned down, but Lambda is still perfectly capable of pulling off devastatingly damaging combos due to Continuum Shift's changes. Lambda has been classified as solidly B tier through Continuum Shift and Continuum Shift II, down from her previous ranking in S tier as Nu. As of Continuum Shift Extend, Lambda ranks as B tier, although lower than both her Continuum Shift and 2 counterparts. She has been nerfed a little from Continuum Shift II, but did receive buffs in the form of a solid anti air and general heat gain buffs on her normals.

Notably, selecting Unlimited Lambda in the console version of Continuum Shift will allow you to play as Unlimited Nu. This version of Nu has many of her old Calamity Trigger moves (i.e. Sickle Storm and Act Parcer) while retaining the Continuum Shift upgrades, such as the improved Gravity Seed and Act Parcer specials. Many of the moves she obtains from Continuum Shift have considerably different properties to Lambda's. However, since Continuum Shift, Nu has not been modified, so she still retains the issues that Continuum Shift Lambda had, such as 2C not canceling into anything. She also cannot jump cancel 5DD like she could in Calamity Trigger.
