Fighting Style
Like Aruto Kirihara, Alternate L Takion uses his long sword as his fighting style. Alternate L Takion's fighting style focuses much on elegant sword fighting along with his creation of the Alice Phantoms. His attacks all are very good in crowd control, but once his gets his fourth or fifth weapon (even Takion equipped with accessories with damage output), his C6 is one of the strongest charge attacks in the game which allows him to be a powerful bruiser that can kill and damage most enemies with ease than Aruto Kirihara does including enemy officers and bosses (also lethal with his air combo C6 move while Takion in the air). However, there are risks. As Takion raised his levels, it offers low defense stats bonus, as well as his C6 having notable startup time that allows him to be interrupted too often (unless performing Active Skill attacks like Alice Phantom Circle Spin or Arcane Charge).

Tying into his fourth weapon, he is often made defensively weak in order to balance him out. However, if mastered and used right, his offense is considered one of the fastest in the game.

In addition to balanced melee character, equip his weapons with further damage enhancing elements such as Slash and Landscape. Ability is used to increase damage for his skills and Air can be used to increase damage usage of his Aerial Charge Combos (but, its optional). Certain-kill, and Aggression are used for increasing the damage output of his Musou and Burst attacks. In addition, he can equipped any armors, accessories and runes with Wise attribute to further maximize his damage output because Takion's main stat was INT.

Also equipping his weapons with Sly attribute for not only maximize his damage output, but also drains the enemy's MP especially enemy officers from Kasumi arc with MP which prevents them from spamming their Skill Attacks.
