- Solid zoning abilities allow her to keep some of the cast at a distance
- An easy character to pick up and play, has simple combos
- Strong Backdash (capable of backdashing through most DPs)
- Great corner carry regardless of Heat
- Good overall damage output
- Below-average Health
- Cannot escape pressure easily without meter
- Okizeme is not always reliable, and can be beaten by opting not to tech or through character-specific means
- Close range pressure and mix-up are quite poor, so opening opponents up can be difficult
- Learning how and when to use D attacks is an important part of learning how to play Lambda. As a result, this requires a strong grasp of neutral and matchup knowledge of how to zone and approach each character effectively

Lambda shoots a sword along the ground. Like all of her drives, it has a dead spot in front of her and you can cancel it into a second sword or special. Huge recovery on whiff. This can be used as spacing tool against opponents on the ground, but the options afterwards are limited since it isn't jump cancelable (on block) and can put Lambda in a bad spot. While in OD mode, 5D can be followed up with 236C for good damage.

Lambda shoots a sword from behind the opponent aiming at their head. Like all of her drives, it has a dead spot in front of her and you can cancel it into a second sword. Huge recovery on whiff.

This move is useful as an overhead, albeit a slow one. Has the same downsides as 5D since it isn't jump cancelable on block, but from there you can cancel it into another sword or special to protect yourself.
