Overview
"Luna: Hey, isn't this kind of like 3 vs. 2?
Sena: Y-You think...?"
Lore:Platinum the Trinity is a small girl, and a vessel within which used to reside three, now two, souls: the short-tempered and hot-headed young girl, Luna, the laid back and carefree young boy, Sena, and, formerly, one of the Six Heroes, Trinity Glassfille. Since her and his personalities appear and disappear, it’s difficult to determine which action belongs to which; although, the tone of their voice is certainly a strong clue. The one point they have in common, though, is admiration and adoration for their master Jubei. The two also hate conflict of any sort and used to live quietly in the ruins of Ibukido. However, due to a request from Jubei, to whom they owe their lives, they set out on a quest with their Nox Nyctores "Muchorin" in hand to locate and defeat Yuuki Terumi.


 Platinum the Trinity Platinum is a very versatile point character that can approach and bait out opponents using a combination of strong rushdown moves and zoning tools. Her normals have solid range, good startup, and a large number of her moves consist of a wide variety of lows and overheads. For instance, all her 2'X' moves must be blocked low, and her 'A' and 'B' versions of Mami Circular are a low and an overhead, respectively. With the removal of her items being random like in the mainline Blazblue series, she can now swiftly utilize both bombs and missiles at will for both deadly block-strings and zoning. Platinum's Miracle Jeanne distortion is an Install, further increasing the potency of her moveset by enlarging some of her normals' hitboxes and her projectiles as well as adding a special knockdown quality to her 5C. This power-up also applies to her bomb, missile, and boomerang assists if you swap her for your second character while the Install is activated. However, Platinum holds a key flaw in her assists. Her 6P and 4P each contain a set of three items, but are randomized, meaning it is impossible to tell which item you will get when using these two assists.

Pros
Cons
  • Good point value
  • Can beat other strong character roundstarts like Mitsuru and Weiss 5A's with her 2B thanks to it low profiling them
  • Has good mixup potential with j.236C (EX Swallow Moon) which has invul
  • Stronger assists and specials with her Miracle Jeanne buff on
  • Gets access to unblockable moves while in Miracle Jeanne like 5C and 4P (has to be the hammer fall 4P)
  • Good air buttons with her j.B that can cause a crossups and j.C which is a cancellable IOH
  • RNG Assists except for her 5P and the first part of her 4P
  • Difficult bnb
  • RNG Assists cause it difficult to some specific synergy plans
  • Poor anti air and DP
  • Character specific routings for her highers damage combos
  • Random 6P


Platinum the Trinity
BBTag Platinum the Trinity Portrait.png
Drive: Magical Symphony
In the original BlazBlue series, Platinum had the ability to equip magical items that she would use in gameplay. She could only equip one item at a time and which item she would be able to equip next was random but could be seen on the HUD. In BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, these magical items return as various normals, mechanics and specials that Platinum uses in her moveset.

Normal Moves

4A

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

  • Platinum will randomly choose to do Rock, Paper, or Scissors.
  • Playing against another Platinum player, Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, and Paper beats Rock. This will never be relevant.
  • If both Platinums throw the same move, they'll trade. Otherwise one jab will beat the other.

If you ever feel like playing Rock-Paper-Scissors, but with no control over what move you throw out.

O u O

5A

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
5A
5AA
5AAA
5AAAA

  • 5A is jump cancelable.

Really huge normal, good for pressuring at midscreen.


  • 5AA knocks down, powered up in Miracle Jeanne

Knocks down on hit which can help stabilize juggles, and is cancelable into lows like 2B or 2C. In Miracle Jeanne this move is powered up. It does more damage and bounces opponents on hit instead of knocking them down.


  • 5AAA immediately after the hit when the pogo touches ground you can cancel into grounded specials. If you wait a bit for the pogo to bounce you can cancel into air specials.

  • 5AAAA wall bounces

5B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
5B
5BB
5BBB

  • Can function as a short-ranged anti-air
  • Jump-cancellable on block and hit
  • 6-15f head invulnerable

  • 5BB has a good hitbox allowing for easy followups to 5B.

  • 5BBB has lots of hitstun
  • Powered up in Miracle Jeanne
  • Shorter range than 5BB, so may not connect at certain distances.

This move will keep opponents in hitstun until they hit the ground unless the combo is extremely porated. This lets the move enable TK swallow moon loops or rejump loops. In Miracle Jeanne the frying pan is upgraded to a fan, doing more damage and with a bigger hitbox, making connecting it off of an air hit or juggle much easier.

5C

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
Attack
Quake
Miracle Jeanne

  • During Miracle Jeanne, hitting the ground with 5C will make a fullscreen ground quake that causes hard knockdown, which has a decent amount of recovery before being able to get up.
  • This trait will take effect only when your opponent is standing on the ground, not while in the air.
  • You cannot block the knockdown effect of this move, you must dodge it by jumping.

2A

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

Used as a quick combo extender, usually after Mami Circular.

2B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

Good for confirming meterlessly off of a 5AA when far away.

2C

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

  • Has more range than 5A

A quick long range low. Can be thrown out in neutral effectively and is a good combo starter.

j.A

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
j.A
j.AA

j.AA is not big hitbox

j.B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

Magical Bomb

j.214A/B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
A

Aerial projectiles that travel a further distance depending on what varient you are using. Useful as a zoning tool for when you wanna keep the opponent away.


Extra Skills

EX Mami Circular

236C

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

  • Wall Bounces, sticks if close to corner

Combo extender and punish from far away. It has invincibility to projectiles between 1/4 and 3/4 of the total travel distance.

EX Swallow Moon

j.236C

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

  • The EX version of this move causes Platinum to become completely invulnerable throughout the entirety of her flight.
  • Unfortunately, Platinum can not block out of EX Swallowmoon, so a smart opponent will be able to meaty appropriately.
  • You can control the direction that Platinum moves while in the air slightly.
  • Lasts slightly longer than the ordinary version.

This is a good EX move for baiting out certain reversal actions, or low active frame supers.

EX Magical Missile

Partner Skills

5P

Air Persia

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag

  • forward moving
  • not random

hits kind of low, keeps opponents low to the ground. This is Platinum's only assist that is not random, making it the most consistent for combo purposes. It's otherwise fairly normal.

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
Missile
Boomerang
Bombs

  • Fires one missile forward.

Standard Projectile.


  • It comes back, allowing for one hit going forward and one hit coming back.

  • If Platinum is hit, then the boomerang loses its hitbox.

Since it's a delayed two hit projectile, it can be used to cover unsafe moves during pressure.

Can catch people in the air.

4P

Item Use 2

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
First Hit
Cat Hammer
Pan
Piko Hammer

  • Bounces opponent up on hit.

  • When summoning the Cat Hammer or Pan, Platinum will run up to the opponent's point character before swinging.
  • Staggers the opponent on hit, allowing for ground combo followups.

  • When summoning Hammer, Platinum jumps up in front of you and does the air version of Piko Hammer from the original BlazBlue.
  • If the second hit connects, allows for OTG pickup.
  • Rarely, the second hit on the way down will not always connect.
  • Scales the best in combos.

In Miracle Jeanne, has the quake effect upon hitting the ground.
