At the initial release, Riot Blade was an ability learned by Gladiators at rank 30. It delivered a ranged attack with a chance to decrease defense when executed from behind the target. A second variant could be learned by Gladiators at rank 50 that unleashed a shockwave, increasing enemy enmity and dealing ranged slashing damage. The ability had the side effect of momentarily leaving the user under the Pacification status.

Riot Blade appears as Terra's EX Burst. She attacks the opponent with Blizzara, then charges energy into her arms. The player must rapidly tap and to fill two power gauges within an unspecified time limit. Terra releases the concentrated power by spinning and firing four blades at the opponent. Failing to fill the gauges results in Terra firing fewer blades with a less dramatic execution.

Riot Blade returns as Terra's EX Burst with unchanged effects.

Due to the absence of EX Bursts, Riot Blade is an HP Attack, learned by Terra (level 5). An blue oval shield will appear in front of Terra, and if an enemy hits the shield, they stagger and a blue, cross-shaped projectile hits the opponent, dealing HP damage.
