Head of the infamous Alucard vampire family, Rachel is an extremely powerful individual, controlling wind and lightning. She primarily acts as an observer during the events of Blazblue, and she will rarely directly interfere with the world-altering phenomena that surround the Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. However, Rachel may occasionally gently nudge pieces into their places when she views it necessary for the benefit of the world, such as when she saved Ragna by giving him the Azure Grimoire, or when she saves a time-displaced Jin by granting him the Susano'o Unit. Rachel main goal in doing this, however, is to one day break the century-long time loop that has affected the BlazBlue universe since time immemorial. She has several servants under her command; Nago, a cat familiar, and Gii, a bat familiar, which serve as her weapons, furniture, and anger relief. Her butler, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, is also notable for being a powerful werewolf and one of the Six Heroes, a legendary group of warriors that defeated the Black Beast. | | quote = Devote all your best effort, or prepare to be disciplined | ||

|intro= | |||
Rachel is traditionally a setplay/pressure/mixup character and has certainly maintained those properties, but her zoning has been buffed significantly from the core Blazblue titles, allowing her to fill a more "true" zoner role like Nu-13 or Yukiko. However, this does not mean her mixup or setplay have been taken down a notch at all, as Rachel remains one of the deadliest characters up close should she be leading during the dance. Spacing, using the appropriate specials at the appropriate time, and knowing when to switch from a defensive style to an offensive style are all key in playing Rachel. Rachel's a complicated and extremely rewarding character, but she's also punished heavily for anything less than perfection. | |||
|pros= | |||
* Very good range and space control | |||
* Utilizes Resonance Blaze very well | |||
* Extremely deadly solo mixup | |||
* Has unblockable setups using her DP | |||
* Assists provide ranged options for characters that may have difficulty at range | |||
* Excellent solo pressure that's only made better with assists | |||
* Assists allow her to set up even if she's not on point | |||
* 4P is one of the best disruption assists in the game | |||
|cons= | |||
* Below average damage | |||
* Situational assists (depending on her partner) | |||
* Relies on system mechanics for reversal tools; struggles in pressure to an extent | |||
* Complex neutral game / win condition that takes time to learn and even longer to master | |||
* Very volatile and unstable matchup spread and gameplan | |||

Rachel Alucard |

|
Overview
"Devote all your best effort, or prepare to be disciplined" | |
Lore: | Head of the infamous Alucard vampire family, Rachel is an extremely powerful individual, controlling wind and lightning. She primarily acts as an observer during the events of Blazblue, and she will rarely directly interfere with the world-altering phenomena that surround the Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. However, Rachel may occasionally gently nudge pieces into their places when she views it necessary for the benefit of the world, such as when she saved Ragna by giving him the Azure Grimoire, or when she saves a time-displaced Jin by granting him the Susano'o Unit. Rachel main goal in doing this, however, is to one day break the century-long time loop that has affected the BlazBlue universe since time immemorial. She has several servants under her command; Nago, a cat familiar, and Gii, a bat familiar, which serve as her weapons, furniture, and anger relief. Her butler, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, is also notable for being a powerful werewolf and one of the Six Heroes, a legendary group of warriors that defeated the Black Beast. |
Drive: Sylpheed
Rachel brings her ability to control the wind into her gameplay, allowing her to manipulate herself and the objects she throws out with wind. This feature was a very core part of her gameplay in the Blazblue series and makes it's return in Blazblue Cross Tag Battle. However, her wind mechanic works differently in Blazblue Cross Tag Battle. Instead of having 4 stocks of wind that regenerate over time, Rachel's wind functions on a cooldown system. After using her wind, there will be a short period of time where you won't be able to use wind again. You can tell whether or not Rachel's wind is on cooldown by looking at the rose symbol in the bottom corner of your HUD next to your meter
Additionally, the usage of wind is restricted to specific moves. Inputting a directional input during these moves will use a wind in the inputted direction. The moves that Rachel can use wind during are as follows:
- Auto Combo 1 - 3rd Move (5AAA)
- Auto Combo 2 - 3rd Move (5BBB)
- 2C
- All jump normals
- Tiny Lobelia
- George the 13th
Additionally keep in mind that Rachel's Sylpheed drive will not regenerate during the following:
- Hitstop
- While Rachel is airborne
Playstyle
Rachel Alucard Rachel is traditionally a setplay/pressure/mixup character and has certainly maintained those properties, but her zoning has been buffed significantly from the core Blazblue titles, allowing her to fill a more "true" zoner role like Nu-13 or Yukiko. However, this does not mean her mixup or setplay have been taken down a notch at all, as Rachel remains one of the deadliest characters up close should she be leading during the dance. Spacing, using the appropriate specials at the appropriate time, and knowing when to switch from a defensive style to an offensive style are all key in playing Rachel. Rachel's a complicated and extremely rewarding character, but she's also punished heavily for anything less than perfection.
- Very good range and space control
- Utilizes Resonance Blaze very well
- Extremely deadly solo mixup
- Has unblockable setups using her DP
- Assists provide ranged options for characters that may have difficulty at range
- Excellent solo pressure that's only made better with assists
- Assists allow her to set up even if she's not on point
- 4P is one of the best disruption assists in the game
- Below average damage
- Situational assists (depending on her partner)
- Relies on system mechanics for reversal tools; struggles in pressure to an extent
- Complex neutral game / win condition that takes time to learn and even longer to master
- Very volatile and unstable matchup spread and gameplan
