Her serious attitude leads her to take on anything that comes before her. She wields a rapier-like weapon as her main form of attack and also has various magical elements at her disposal, making her both powerful and versatile in combat. Despite this, she does not enjoy fighting and always holds back from going all out against her enemies for fear of hurt them too much. Sion has connections with characters from the original Melty Blood storyline such as Aoko Aozaki, White Len, and Shiki Tohno which only adds to her mystery even more. Sion’s fighting style is based on fencing, utilizing swift motion akin to swiping at an opponent with a rapier’s blade but with magical abilities added in to create powerful attacks that can finish off foes quickly while relying on dodging enemies’ attacks with precise timing as part of her defense strategy
Akiha Tohno
Akiha Tohno is a primary protagonist of the original Type-Moon visual novel, “Tsukihime,” and she has made a re-appearance in other various media since then. Akin to many other Type-Moon protagonists, she belongs to a powerful and ancient lineage of vampire royalty.

Her fighting style was mostly centered around utilizing her powers and manipulating space by gliding around her opponents quickly in order to form powerful combos.
Generally speaking, Akiha is a character designed to be versatile in different scenarios while still maintaining interesting storylines with complex characters within an already established world. Because she is so powerful and efficient in game play, many players count her as one of – if not the – most powerful characters at their disposal.
Arcueid Brunestud

Arcueid battles using ornate blades and hand-to-hand combat which, due to her supernatural powers, grants her an enormous advantage over mortal opponents. Her signature technique, Cross Heart of Calamity Flame, allows her to focus an energy blast in one particular direction with enough power to quickly break through enemy defenses. Arcueid also has access to powerful spells such as sealing curses and spiritual shields which she can use defensively or offensively depending on the situation.

As a vampire, Ciel turns into an abomination form during intense fights, gaining access to incredible power strength and speed beyond any human limits. Physically beautiful of face but having an ominous air around her due to being part demon as well, she combats many of the supernatural elements that seek to do harm come up against her. A determined fighter with control over ice magic or Ki energy if we are talking about Ki based art styles used by some other characters in this game like Nanaya or Warc., capable of using techniques considered extraordinary by even magical standards; Ciel is a warrior worth fearing!

Hisui is a major character from the visual novel and fighting game series Melty Blood Type Lumina. Hisui is a gentle person who acts as the primary protagonist of the series. Hisui is cursed, driven insane by an unknown entity which grants him superhuman combat strength, but at a great price—his own humanity.
Hisui’s fighting style could be described as medium to close range combat using his body’s skills, such as kicks and combos, along with manipulating objects around himself or hitting them at opponents from mid-range. He also wields swords in some scenarios and has an uncanny dodging ability due to his agility and quick reflexes. His special move is ‘Lancet Toe’, where he jumps in the air steps on opponents’ heads sending them crashing to their doom, then finishes off with an uppercut before landing safely on the ground.

As for her personality, Kohaku is generally described as being naive, kind, and gentlehearted even in battle situations; rarely exhibiting anger or other extreme emotions.

Len is presented as a cool character whose words can easily impress, although there are occasions when his emotional experience leads him to talking with more exaggeration than necessary. Whenever he needs to fight, Len can quickly draw on his developed swordsmanship skills in order to win battles without too much effort on his part. His sword skills can manifest in various attacks that vary from incredibly powerful single strikes up close or long range slashing with ease from far away using its white-silver blade’s Aura Ribbon.

However, owing to his high-risk play style, he’s often prone to taking damage if not careful. He also uses range attacks such as throwing knives or shurikens, often catching his opponents off guard if they focus on getting close to him.
Ultimately, Nanaya Shiki’s greatest weapon lies in his unpredictable movements that make it extremely difficult for his opponents to predict what he will do next. His combo strings are designed with plenty of jump-ins which allow him to quickly close gaps between himself and the opponent – making him particularly deadliest when fighting against characters who lack strong anti-air defense capabilities. In ‘Type Lumina’, Nanaya Shiki even wields powerful light energy constructs which enable him to unleash heavy pressure when used correctly; providing new players with a relentless rushdown playstyle that rewards experience and knowledge about the game’s fundamentals.

In Melty Blood Type Lumina, her soul slowly contracts into an evil entity where she has to struggle with whether it should be released or left imprisoned.
Although Satsuki has strong affection toward Kohaku, her attitude towards others around her is cold and condescending. Her speech often includes archaic Japanese words and politeness that dates back from previous centuries’ respect rituals dating back to samurai policies during Japan’s Edo period, which showed respect by adding honorifics to others’ names even if it meant insulting them indirectly. She fights with two blades: Shishiaiga, a demonic Katana forged from extremely rare metals, and Ninjiaiga, an enchanted Wakizashi used like an extension of Satsuki’s own power by incanting spells through her mind while dodging blows using Shiranui-ryū Ninpo arts.
White Len
White Len is a fan favorite character in the Melty Blood series of fighting games. He is a human-vampire hybrid and serves as the secondary antagonist and anti-hero of the game. White Len plays a unique combination of both vampire and human attributes, combining vampiric agility, enhanced speed, strength, and durability with traditional human swordsmanship.
He fights using two separate weapon sets while also able to access unlimited amounts of power during battle. As a vampire, he has access to Blood Heat attacks which are powerful finishing moves capable of draining his opponents’ strength—but also potentially damaging himself if used too much or improperly. He can also call on his “Necromagic” combat system which allows him to use various spells that can range from personal buffs to crowd control abilities in order to give himself an edge against any opponent. While lacking an effective defense-oriented defensive ability such as regeneration or invulnerability from harm, White Len makes up for this with his versatility and adaptability during combat—so expect an interesting battle when he shows up!

Her scythe is able to pierce through both enemies and objects; its true potential only unlocking when infused with the darkness within her. Meanwhile, Warachia’s sword has variable attack patterns according to which form she takes, depending on how much darkness she has absorbed. These two weapons combined with Warachia’s agility make her an extremely formidable opponent even against the strongest adversaries.
