Overview

"If we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together"

Backstory

A member of team RWBY and heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. The Schnee Dust Company was once a very well respected company but in the founder's failing health, control of the company was passed to his son-in-law and Weiss' father, Jacques Schnee. He greatly improved the profits of the company but at the cost of its reputation by introducing many unethical practices, including poor treatment of the Faunus that were employed to work in their dust mines. In order to restore the honor and integrity of the Schnee name lost by the actions of her father, Weiss decides to become a Huntress, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Winter. Her journey to become a Huntress eventuallly leads her to Beacon academy where she would meet Ruby, Blake and Yang and form team RWBY.

Playstyle

Weiss wields a Multi Action Dust Rapier called Myrtenaster. Inside it's guard is a revolving chamber of 6 slots filled with dust that she uses in combat. Combined with her semblance, this gives Weiss a wide arsenal of tools at her disposal to fight battles in the show and the same can be said of her in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.

Weiss is a character that specializes in having a tool for every situation. Whether it's using her long reaching rapier attacks to fight up close, firing ice shards to attack from afar, summoning ice pillars to block projectiles and limit the opponent's ground movements and using her semblance to do attacks that cover a lot of ground quickly or for some more tricky options, Weiss has a tool to fight comfortably in any situation.

At the same time, these tools all have very clear pros and cons. For example, her normals often have long reach but don't hit in a wide arc like Ruby's normals. As a result, a lot of Weiss' tools need to be selectively chosen to deal with a specific problem. To get the most out of Weiss' vast toolset, you'll need to train yourself to properly recognize situations and use the appropriate tool to handle it.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Good range from her normals
  • A good amount of mixups from her black glyphs
  • Her projectile tracks the enemy before launching
  • Her Glacial Torrent distortion is excellent for attacking both of the enemy players if they called an assist
  • Her reversal attacks on both sides
  • One of the few characters that have a 22 A/B special
  • Can create an ice pillar that can act as a corner, allowing her to perform her corner combos mid-screen
  • Projectile has a long startup, making it a terrible zoning tool
  • Combos can whiff if the first strike hits at the very end, leaving her to be easily punished, especially her 5 BB with its ludicrously short range
  • Can be outranged by zoners and by characters who have long ranged attacks
  • Mediocre assists as a partner
  • A somewhat difficult character to utilize because of her black glyph placements
  • Relies on assists to perform combo extenders
  • Needs a corner to reliably perform her longer combos on her own
  • Her Snow Flurry distortion isn't full screen and has her literally right in front of the enemy if she tries


Semblance: Glyphs

Weiss Semblance is a family semblance, passed down from family member to member that allows them to create glyphs. These glyphs can be used in a variety of ways, including propelling Weiss forward at high speeds when she touches them or acting as a stepping stone in mid air. In BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, she uses her glyphs in several specials, partner skills and distortion skills. However, she also has the ability to place glyphs on the screen by doing the charged version of her Ice Shard special. These glyphs placed on screen give Weiss additional options to followup her Glyph Dash Strike special with 3 different other specials that make use of the glyph.
