miscellaneous

Konoe's normal attacks are tuned to specific elements. A is for Water, B is for Wind, and C is for Fire. When her normal attack hits her opponent, or is blocked by them, the corresponding element will be added to her Active Slot.

Konoe has two slots: Active, where she stores her elements (max. 3), and Stock, where she can store a spell from her Active Slot via the Seamoss Gate special attack. Each spell has its own icon, and elements of Active Slot are displayed on Konoe's sprite by colored ribbons.

Konoe does not have a Drive, she uses magic instead. D button activates the combination of elements in the Active Slot and the order of elements does not matter. Nine has 20 spells, overall, having the most extensive command list in the playable roster.

Konoe is one of the most versatile fighters in the game. She has an amazingly high damage output, able to deplete enemy hit points with the right combination and succession of spells, which is only enhanced by her capacity to attack from various distances. Her dashes are teleports, allowing her to move across considerable distances and evade punishment from opponents.

Unfortunately, her ground mobility is terribly slow, as she simply struts across the stage. Her health is also considerably low compared to the other characters, making her a glass cannon. Lastly, her fighting style makes her one of the most difficult characters to master as one must memorize all the spell combinations she can employ and how they can be applied to full effect.
