Strategy

Celica in all-rounder who can fight from any range. She fights together with Minerva, but there aren't any special controls required. She has many simple attacks, so she can be recommended to anyone to play.
At mid range, use long reaching attacks like standing B, standing C, or jumping C. It's also good to mix in projectiles like Arc Grillé (↓↘→ + B).
A basic combo is to go from standing B into standing C or ↘ + C, then cancel into Lance Quiche (↓↙← + C). The reach of ↘ + C is a little short, so be aware of distance.
If standing C is guarded, besides Lance Quiche, you can follow up with a projectile like Arc Grillé, or surprise the opponent with a middle attack like Marteau Flan (↓↙← + B).
Once close to the opponent, use middle attack → + A and low attack crouching B or ↘ + C to shake up their guard.
The first stage of → + A is a middle attack, but the second is a low attack. If you use it from barely out of range of the first stage, it can be difficult to guard against. If only the second stage hits, it causes a stagger, so go for a combo.
If the opponent attacks from the air, use → + B or jumping C to counter. If you connect → + B into standing C, you can start a combo.
Hache Rotir (↓↘→ + C) lets you resist the opponent's attacks and counter. You will take damage, but Recovery Capacity will fill up quickly, so use Armure Sorbet (→↘↓↙←→ + A) to restore health.^[1]
