Instinct

Tosoushin: Hisako's Wrath gauge stays topped up and can't be depleted.

Combat Traits

Wrath Gauge: A green bar that sits above Hisako's shadow meter. When the gauge is full, neutral hits act as counter hits, Air On Ryo Zan and Influence become openers, and she can spend 50% of the gauge to cancel any non-shadow move into Vengeance or Descent.

Wind-Up Doubles: Hisako can delay the second hit of her medium and heavy auto-doubles.
