Kokonoe’s lightning and fire icons next to her Graviton Gauge are basically indicators for special moves that interact with her Drive and will be different depending on what mode her Graviton is in or if it is even on the field. The flame icon is for her Sweltering Flame Cage move and the electricity icon is for her Banishing Ray Lightning Strike move.
She has one primary advantage over nearly every other character in the series: Graviton (グラヴィトン,Guraviton). Her Drive is one of the most formidable out there because Kokonoe’s options in combat give her the option of setting up an incredibly dangerous and great zoning play that is on par with Nu’s, yet has the capacity to utilise rushdown tactics similar to Noel.
At least three things give Kokonoe her edge in battle, that, when combined, form endless mix up possibilities and excellent zoning that can be turned into rushdown with the click of a button, these are: Graviton; Sweltering Flame Cage (炎熱フレイムケージ,Ennetsu Fureimu Kēji) and Layer Haze Transition (転移ライアーヘイズ,Ten'i Raiā Heizu, localized as Planar Haze). Graviton effectively moves combat in her direction and Sweltering Flame Cage is arguably up there as one of the best projectiles in the game, forcing most opponents to block; yet Layer Haze Transition gives the amazing option to get up close and personal when the opponent is blocking. Not only that, but it also serves as an excellent way to dodge projectiles and stay grounded, something not a lot of other characters can offer.
Kokonoe, however, suffers from some drawbacks, the most notable being that her Freezing Absolute Zero (氷結アブソリュートゼロ,Hyōketsu Abusoryūto Zero) will immediately go straight into her Greed Crime Scattered Sky (飛天グリードクライム,Hiten Gurīdo Kuraimu, localized as Crime of Greed) if she has at least 50% Heat. Jamming Dark Gravity (重力ジャミングダーク,Jūryoku Jamingu Dāku) also has problems despite its legendary status as an “insta-kill” combo starter; the most prominent of these problems being that if it is used too close to a corner, then it will appear offscreen. Another problem stands in that all placed Gravitons will disappear after its usage.
Overall, Kokonoe is a typical top tier character, having a great deal of advantages over most characters and being able to control the ebb and flow of the battlefield; she is anything but a second rate soldier.
