## Attacks & Abilities

### Attacks

* Canon Attacks
* Fanon Attacks

* **Kill・Juliet** (切・呪リeッTぉ, *Kiru・Jurietto*?) - Kirika's scythe generates two extra blades which are hurled as boomerangs.

* **The Slasher・Jabberwock** (断殺・邪刃ウォttKKK, *Dansatsu・Jabauokku*?) - Kirika sets up for this attack by binding her opponent to the ground using the grappling chains launched from her shoulder armor, before transforming her scythe into a large guillotine blade which she kicks through the opponent using her rockets for additional force.

* **Sealed Strike・Pinocchio** (封伐・PィNo奇ぉ, *Fū Batsu・Pinokio*?) - Kirika extends the blades at the tip of each shoulder pauldron into a scythe blade as they take a configuration resembling devil wings, giving her four additional arms to stab at enemies with.

* **Twin Cutter・Cinderella** (双斬・死nデRぇラ, *Sōzan・Shinderera*?) - Kirika summons another copy of her scythe, which she can combine together to form a giant scissor if she wishes or use independently.

* **Calamity Ring・Tinkerbell** (災輪・TぃN渦ぁBェル, *Sairin・Tinkāberu*?) - Holding her scythe horizontally, Kirika uses the rockets on her pauldrons to spin at high speeds, cutting through the enemies around her.

* **Superb Song** - Igalima's Superb Song transforms Kirika's scythe into a much larger rocket-propelled scythe, large enough for Kirika herself to ride. A strike from this attack is claimed to cut the victim's soul.

* **Final Oppression・Neverland** (終虐・Ne破aァ乱怒, *Tsui Gyaku・Nebārando*?) - Used in X-Drive, this attack transforms Kirika's scythe into a much larger three-bladed scythe with the blades arranged parallel like a claw.

* **Vitalization** - A six-member combination attack accessible only in X-Drive, which forms a pair of large arms out of Gungnir and Airgetlám's armor components that deliver a combined punch fuelled by the energy of all six Symphogears.

* **Opposite Scythe・Rapunzel** (対鎌・螺Pぅn痛ェる, *Tsuiren・Rapunsueru*?) - Similar to her Twin Cutter Cinderella, Kirika summons another copy of her scythe and combines them into a large halberd.

* **Forbidden Wheel of Evil・ZABABA Eclipse** (禁殺邪輪・Zあ破刃エクLィプssSS, *Kin Setsu Ja Rin・Zababa Ekuripusu*?) - A combination attack with Shirabe. While Shirabe uses **Extreme Σ Style・Forbidden Full Moon**, Kirika uses **The Slasher・Jabberwock** from the other side of the enemy, allowing them both to slice through the enemy simultaneously while the enemy is bound, with Kirika using her pauldrons to grab Shirabe and pull on her in order to speed both of them up.

* **Prohibited Fitting β Style・ZABABA Sun and Moon** (禁合β式・Zあ破刃惨無uうNN, *Kin Gou Bēta-Shiki ・Zababa San Mūn*?) -
