* **Side Special:***Shining Trail -*Ryza sends out a trail of pillars with energy properties. Once Ryza has reached Tactics Lv. 3, the move ends with a large pillar explosion, and the last pillar of the initial trail has its knockback altered to send the opponent into this explosion. Once Ryza has reached Tactics Lv. 5, the radius of the final pillar is larger.
* **Up Special:***Eclipse Javelin -*Ryza shoots out three spears at once that can pierce through opponents. When used in the air, these spears will be fired downward while Ryza is propelled upward, and she is not left helpless after this. Once she has reached Tactics Lv. 2, the three spears are followed by another spear. Once she has reached Tactics Lv. 4, the final spear is larger, more powerful, and breaks shields.
* **Down Special:***Silhouette -*Ryza waves her hand around, and a magical aura appears around her. This does not deal any damage, but it increases the damage of items she uses for a while. Once Ryza has reached Tactics Lv. 3, the damage of the items she uses increases even more, and it continues to increase once she has reached Tactics Lv. 5.
