Before so, at time when Neo was introduced to the winners, only Elizabeth explained why Neo is silent when Naoto K. asked about it.
Labrys/Gameplay

Being the strongest of the 5th Generation, Labrys's fighting capabilities are far above average and were only strengthened when she gained a Persona. Using her multi-use weapon, a giant axe that she is strong enough to swing with ease, she can easily do massive damage to any opponent she comes across. Upon awakening her Persona, Ariadne, she can use Weaver Arts to create weapons out of nothing and provide even more options to defeat her foes.

The **Axe-Gauge** grants her buffs max 5 levels based on the colors, depending on how often you attack with moves that utilize Labrys' axe (this includes blocked attacks). However, it will slowly decrease if you don't attack and decreases even more if you get hit or do not attack with a move that swings the axe. The levels are broken down into the following colors with 1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest: **No Color/Gray > Blue > Green > Yellow > Red**. The higher the level of the Axe Gauge is, the more damage she does. Once you reach her red axe level, she gains the following special properties in addition to extra damage: Under Red Axe, Labrys also does significantly more chip damage when in Resonance Blaze, through all of her normals and specials, including non-axe normals. These are the tips how to manage her levels increase and decrease and other factors to note when playing as Labrys.

* At the start of each match, the axe gauge starts at level 3 (Green).
* Getting hit will cause the axe meter to deplete, and can even go down to level 2(blue) and can completely empty out the gauge, bringing it to level 1 (gray)
* The axe gauge will always drift to a level 3 (green) status, so even from maximum axe meter (glowing red axe bar) you will slowly lose axe meter until it gets to green as long as you're not hitting the opponent
* Using certain special moves will build the gauge faster then normal moves such as Guillotine Axe.
* Persona normals such as 2B and 5B will not build axe meter
* Both of Labrys' supers will cause her axe gauge to deplete (except when she does the tag version of her super after her partner)
* Labrys loses axe meter while tagged out, but this can be slowed by using her 4P and 5P, both of which build small amounts of axe meter on hit/block

Labrys' Axe management is not as much of an issue as it was in the Arena games. Labrys has several routes both with and without assists to go from green-to-red that also double as giving her air guillotine enders which allow her to also get good okizeme.
Yukiko Amagi/Gameplay

Yukiko's preferred weapons are traditional Japanese fans, which she mostly used for throw-based attacks. Her Persona Konohana Sakuya of the High Priestess Arcana, named after the blossom princess of Japanese mythology, can use various fire and healing skills to both deal damage to her opponents and assist her allies.
Yūki Terumi/Takehaya Susano'o/Gameplay

Befitting his brutal nature like his base form, Terumi's Susano'o form is an extremely aggressive rushdown character whose fighting style revolves around savagely pummeling his opponent into submission. Coupled with the fact that he doesn't need to unlock his specials before using them in this game, a skilled user of Susanoo unit, due to being the originator himself can easily bring divine judgment down upon his foes.

Consider that Cross Tag Battle attempt to simplified the chosen characters, Terumi (Susano'o) no longer need Divine Warrior Seals

As one of the many eldritch creatures that inhabit the Hollow Night known as Voids. Merkava is driven by the instinct to consume EXS. Unlike other Voids, however, he is sentient and intelligent, having once been a human until he was consumed by the power of Existence. As such, he can communicate with others via telepathy, harboring respect for those who speak with him as though he is equal to them, but having no patience for anyone who won't take him seriously, such as thinking him being just like most of the mindless Voids, but Merkava is in a different level than them. His humanoid form also suggests his overall strength as lesser voids take the shape of lizards and snakes.

Merkava is very unique for a Void who can enter the real world, due to his amount of powers and human intelligence, now currently being investigated and trailed by one of Ritter Schild member Londrekia Light, but the latter ended up cancelling one of his mission, just as both are now in neutral friendly terms, such as carrying the Ritter Schild member's luggage, which is meant to be delivered to Litch Kreis branch as a repayment for sparing the intelligent Void's life. Ever since their encounter, Londrekia began a new mission to find a possibility to reverse the Void transformation state back to human form, which might cure Merkava’s transformation.

Merkava is also a suspect to be a murder of Orie Ballardiae’s parents, as she remembered that her parents were murdered by a Void with human intelligence, just like Merkava.

As Gordeau the Harvester has Gambit color from Marvel’s *X-Men*, this makes Merkava the second character to have a Marvel-based color palette.

Vatista/Gameplay

Unlike most of the other Under Night In-Birth characters, Vatista uses FLS, and fights with the Aegis Attributor a set of six Razor Wings she can manipulate as weapons. Originally she had a seventh wing, but was used by Kuon to save Waldstein from turning into a Void in progress, as well as the creation of the Indulgence Weapons (such as the sword Insulator and daggers Eliminators) long time ago.

She also possesses the ability to manipulate light in projectiles such as beams, fireballs, short-range blasts, and explosive crystals. Unfortunately in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, she lost her explosive crystal moves.
Mai Natsume/Gameplay

Mai is a nice, well-rounded character who can suit beginners or experts, and offensive or defensive styles with her many options for close, mid and long range. She can poke with normals that have good reach and move across the screen decently quickly. That said, she doesn't have the strongest mixup game.

In Cross Tag, her Variable Heart combos being nerfed into regular inputs, such as Smart Combos. The primary trait she inherit after the inclusion of Teddie, even prior to Season 2 storyline, is that she is immune to any Mystery Culinary X, true to her home series’ ability.
Shopgirly

Shopgirly was a Houseguest in Big Brother 1. She won the first HOH and immediately target Tricky in the game. She made a big move by putting him up, however, his partner won POV and saved them. She decided to put up dino/mank next, sending dino out. The following week she walked from the game for personal reasons.

 **Evicted**
Platinum the Trinity/Gameplay

Platinum is one of the few individuals in her universe to wield a Nox Nyctores; in this case, it was Trinity's old weapon - the Muchourin. This big wand-like staff was meant to compliment her skills in magic for both offensive and defensive purposes, and can conjure up forms to matter, albeit at the risk of Platinum losing her memories for the time being.
Kanji Tatsumi/Gameplay

A person with a unique style of unorthodox brawling, Kanji houses a great amount of power with his grappling-based attacks. If he opts to not bash opponents' faces in with his chair, he calls upon the aid of his Persona: Take-Mikazuchi of the Emperor Arcana, named after the Shinto god of thunder, who tosses foes around and summons lightning to smite them.

He is fiercely devoted to his mother, having once fought an entire biker gang off because of the noise they made keeping her up at night, and even taught himself to sew and work at their textile shop on his off-days. Upon being dragged into the Midnight Channel, Kanji's subconscious forged his dungeon: a homoerotic-themed sauna with his Shadow as its overly flamboyant "host", to represent his desire for acceptance - for people to like him for what he truly was. He was able to find such friends with the Investigation Team, who saved him and allowed him to awaken to his Persona. Many of his friends misunderstood of his sexuality at first, until he and his friends finally learned Naoto Shirogane’s true gender from her Shadow, whom everyone including Kanji mistaken her as a boy, and Kanji already have a crush on her since their first met prior both joining the Investigation Team, even before learning her gender by luck. The flamboyance behind Kanji’s shadow is from his very obsession with cute things when he was a kid, such making little cute dolls for a hobby and sells them, and loves to pet furry animals.

Few months after the murder cases have been solved, Kanji is dragged into the Midnight Channel to be the main subject of the bloodbath tournament known as P-1 Grand Prix hosted by an impostor general version of Teddie.

Naoto K.'s Drive is called Bloodedge, which literally speaks volumes about his fighting style. While he's primarily a hand-to-hand brawler akin to a boxer, he can also manifest his blood to create weapons. All of these stem from his right arm, a uniquely enhanced limb from Clavis Alucard, Rachel and Raquel's father. One of his main trait is his birth power Enhancer, allowing Naoto to do post-Ground Dash Cancel after image special moves, strengthen them, as with its power name.
