Overview

Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, more commonly known as Nine, is a witch, one of the Six Heroes, and one of the Ten Sages. After her supposed death by the hands of Yūki Terumi, Konoe mysteriously appears as the servant of Hades Izanami using the pseudonym Phantom.

Ability: The Abyss Diver

Unlike the other playable characters, Nine does not possess a Drive. Instead, the D button works in tandem with her normal attacks.

Nine's normal attacks are tuned to specific elements: A is for Water, B is for Wind, and C is for Fire. When her normal attacks hit her opponent (or are blocked by them), the corresponding element will be added to her Active Slot. Nine can save up to three ingredients, at which point gaining a new one will delete the oldest-existing one.

Nine has two slots: Active, where she stores her elements, and Stock, where she can store a spell from her Active Slot via the Sea-Moss Gate special move. Each spell has its own icon, and elements of Active Slot are displayed on Nine's sprite by colored ribbons. Combining elements in an specific order allows Nine to create a spell; she can then release this spell by pressing the D button. Nine has 20 spells overall, having the most extensive command list in the playable roster.

Overdrive: Burning Red

• The element of the normal Nine uses will be added to your active slot, even on whiff
• Nine will receive an element buff when she uses a spell similar to Flux Nurture's buff

Pros/Strengths

• Strong zoning game due to size of normals and spells
• Many okizeme options from spells
• Teleport dash is quite versatile: has invulnerability and can be used twice in any direction
• Able to hit confirm easily off of normals and spells

Cons/Weaknesses

• Movement is somewhat limited
• Unreliable defensive options
• Can struggle against characters who are able to outrange her

Flame Punisher

Flame Punisher 236236A

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul Hitbox - - - - - - - - - Click! Great to tack on at the end of a combo for more damage to end a round Good anti-zoning tool Nine fires two beams of dark energy, one from her hand and the other from her foot. On Overdrive, Nine finishes it by having Hi no Kagutsuchi breathe a large torrent of fire from its mouth. Because of its horizontal range, Flame Punisher tends to be the easiest distortion to combo into to tack on extra damage to a combo to end a round. It's horizontal range also makes it great for sniping opponent's attempting to zone or setup an oki from a distance like Lambda's 236D.

Cardinal Nova

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul Hitbox - - - - - - - - - Click! Gives Nine a random 3 Element spell to both her Active and Stock slots Nine creates a localized explosion in front of her. On Overdrive, the explosion is bigger and stronger. A great distortion for 100 meter combo enders for max damage. First, you can combo into this to get a 3 Element spell in both your slots and then you combo into Azurite Inferno, which gets a damage buff for each element in both of your slots, to maximize its damage output.

Azurite Inferno

Great round ender, especially when you have 100 meter Consumes the spells in your Active and Stock Slot Damage increases based on the number of elements in your spells Nine performs a downward stomp. If it connects, the opponent is crucified on spears and Nine bombards them with arrows of dark energy. On Overdrive, the arrows are bigger and stronger and Nine also finishes the opponent off with pillars of dark energy, similar to her Nephrite spell.

Version Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul Hitbox Normal 2040 - All - - - - - - Click! Active Flow 4070 - All - - - - - - Click! Does not cost Heat, but inmediately ends Overdrive if used. Becomes stronger and flashier with Active Flow. Nine kicks the opponent on startup, then commands Hi no Kagutsuchi to crush them in between its fists. Puts Nine in Active Flow if she hasn't already been in it already. Has full invul and is safe on block, but it has no minimal damage and cannot be rapid-canceled.

Astral Heat

Colorless Void 236236D	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul Hitbox DESTROY - - - - - - - - Click! Nine's Astral. Can be comboed into from a 3C so going for it after bringing the opponent back down to the ground with Tanzanite/[Wx3] is a good place to go for it if you've met the conditions.
