Unique Mechanics
Divine Force
Certain moves will imbue Cassandra's shield with electricity, a state called Divine Force. She can spend this state to use some devastating options, including projectiles at a variety of ranges and new enders for different strings. Divine Force attacks (and those that grant it if she already has it) have the added benefit of recovering 10% of her guard stamina on hit.
Spending Guard Gauge
A few of Cassandra's attacks have a pink glass shattering effect on them, signifying her losing 10% of her guard gauge in order to perform that attack. Notably, almost all of the followups from her Angelic Twirl stance cost guard gauge. She also has a lethal hit that she gains access to at critical levels of guard gauge.
