Your fastest grounded move but still reactable. It has decent tracking and range, so it's great for a quick whiff punish or punishing back / side dodges when playing on the ground.
Primarily though, you will use this for following up assist combos into Flourish of Steel as your most damaging HP combo ender in terms of bravery damage.

Very active, huge and far going spinning slash. Due to it's active frames and Melee Mid priority it can be used to bash through attacks like Squall Thunder Barret, and comboed off of with assist from both the first hit and the wallrush. Lightning can convert into a combo on guard break with assist or a very late guard break, though the wall rush shot won't come out when it does and it has to be dodge cancelled.
Though it has fairly long recovery, it can be hard to punish so often times you could end up safe to dodge cancel out and return to neutral. Use with caution.

Calls down lightning bolts in a small area around her. All Ranged Low priority, but because they spawn frequently and stay if she gets hit, most characters can't punish her staying within them. This gives Lightning time to breathe and generate bravery in Medic role, cast another Ravager spell or build assist meter with other attacks.
The bolts have enough hit stun to follow up with an assist during chase, but it is difficult to confirm it in the moment; The chase prompt comes out as soon as a bolt hits.

On hit it builds an insane amount of EX and with Chase combos even more, making this a rewarding tool when it connects.

Overview

Paradigm Shift

Lightning has three different sets of bravery attacks through the Commando, Ravager and Medic roles. Press L + R to change to a different role.

Default rotation for roles is: Commando > Ravager > Medic

If Reverse Paradigm extra ability is used, the rotation becomes: Ravager > Commando > Medic

If no attacks under a specific role are equipped such as Medic, the role will not be available in battle. This can serve as quality of life to a player who wishes to streamline paradigm shift gameplay.

The Commando role has a passive +1 ATK stat boost when using it in battle.

Omega Weapon

[Activates with bravery attack] Instantly causes a Bravery Break if an opponent is near Break status.

An attack will break if the opponent is under 30 % of their base bravery (200 BRV at level 100). Very potent for increasing damage with an EX Burst.

[Always active while in EX Mode] The Grav-con Unit activates to automatically avoid Wall Rush damage.

EX Burst: Gestalt Drive

A chain of attacks imbued with the powers of Odin. Enter the commands as shown on the screen to initiate an attack.

Even if your movement controls are set to utilise directional buttons, the directional commands must be done with an analog stick.

Remember that Lightning has +1 ATK while in Commando role. This applies to her EX Burst as well.
