## Abilities & Attacks

### Abilities

As a Symphogear user, she has the ability to fight Noise with the use of the anti-noise armour that clads her in battle. As a candidate for the Symphogear, she can activate relics with her song and summon armed gear in battle.

Kuriyo has used two Symphogears during her tenure, the first being the temporary Gungnir which is now in use by Hibiki. While Kuriyo wears it, it becomes known as Blue Gungnir due to it being attuned to Kuriyo's theme color, and reverts to the relic's original emphasis on fighting with an enormous two-handed lance. Kuriyo's lance is similar in design to Kanade's, but similar to Maria's large energy cannon "HORIZON†SPEAR", Kuriyo able to draw out the energy from the blue core in between the lance and the handle, then focus the energy to the lance, jump and rushes forward with her Armed Gear, unleashed the blue energy and then pierce through her target intensely, known as "DISTINCTIONδTHRUST".

While wielding Tronbokril, Kuriyo's fighting style remains the same as her unique Gungnir, drawing out energy from the blue core style. Kuriyo also uses Kanade's unique Gungnir fighting style like tornados/whirlwinds "LAST∞METEOR" on her Tronbokril, "BOREALδVORTEX" and "MALIGNANTδCYCLONE".
