Seven (Type-0)/Gameplay

Seven is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0. She wields a whipblade in battle which is able to extend and contract, damaging enemies at both close and long range. Seven's fighting style is fluid and graceful, allowing her attacks to cover a wide area while involving many acrobatic moves that make her easy to use.

Seven is static when attacking since her whipblade covers a wide range. Her attack action time gets longer the more combos she chains, but her attacks are fast and cover a wide area. They easily stagger enemies making an opening for other characters to attack as well. Her Foreflay attack (analog up) have more hits and longer range but are narrower, while her Whirlwhip attack (analog down) has less hits and slightly shorter attack radius, but hits enemies around her. Her attacks get faster the longer she chains them. Her forward attack deals less damage but her attacks usually deal critical damage, especially during the forward attack. Seven can easily shift between forward and wide attack from basic attacks.

Abilities
Seven can initially use Snakebite, which allows her to "shoot" her whipblade at an enemy and stick it at them to deal damage. When struck, she can move around while having her whipblade at her target, but if she dodges or is staggered or knocked away while her whipblade is on an enemy, it will be retracted. While her whipblade is at her target, Seven can either pull herself towards the enemy (pressing the input again), or pull the enemy to her instantly (pressing the input while tilting the analog down). She can pull herself at any kind of enemy, but she cannot pull just any enemy to herself, depending on the size of the enemy (heavy enemies, such as Flan, cannot be pulled). Although, one can still try to pull an enemy to Seven, it will instead pull Seven to the target.

If Seven learns Livewire she may send a powerful electricity (Thunder-elemental) through her struck whipblade allowing for easy exploitation of the Breaksight and Killsight opportunities, as they travel through her whipblade "lightning-fast". The Livewire ability is exceptional against the Militesi Empire, whose armies mostly consist of electronic arsenal, weak to the Thunder element.

Seven's other abilities, such as Elementalash, allow her to deal great damage with her whipblade. When the analog is neutral Seven smites with a Fire-elemental whipblade. When the analog is tilted up, she smites with an Ice-elemental whipblade. When the analog is tilted down, she smites with Lightning-elemental whipblade. The Sadistic Spikes ability allows Seven to strike the ground with her whipblade, creating a blast of spikes that inflicts Stop to enemies. Unlike other characters' abilities that inflict Stop (like Ace's Short Stop from his Cut Card ability, and Cater's Stop Bullet ability), Sadistic Spikes has a significantly higher chance to inflict stop, making it convenient against high-HP enemies, such as the Colossus, and even the larger Flan.

Seven can use both Drainlash and Osmoselash. She can dish out multiple strikes with her whipblade to drain HP or MP. Both have short range, poor accuracy and can easily miss swift enemies.

The Diving Strike allows Seven to conjure a powerful energy with her whipblade in which it flies high before dive-bombing onto the target. It has strong homing, travels fast and can deal critical damage. It technically has no limit in range as long as it knows its target. Although it has unlimited range, it can still miss.

The key to her effectiveness requires well-timed evades. Well-timed hits are also vital for exploiting Killsight opportunities.
