Risa's main strength is crowd clearing and quite effective against enemy officers and bosses. Her Skill Attacks are great as it makes it easier for her to kill enemy officers and even bosses. Also her air combos are very lethal for killing enemies while they're airborne, including enemy offices and bosses in a flash. No enemies can escape from her!

In addition of her attack power, equip her weapon with further damage enhancing elements such as **Slash** and **Landscape**. **Ability** is used to increase damage for her skills and **Air** can be used to increase damage usage of her Aerial Charge Combos (but, its optional). **Certain-kill**, and **Aggression** are used for increasing the damage output of his Musou and Burst attacks.
