Master Ramlethal Valentine in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2! Learn her space control, sword deployment, and devastating combos. Your guide to dominating with the Valentine.

Hey there! So you wanna learn Ramlethal Valentine in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2? She's a super unique character who really shines at controlling the battlefield from mid-range. Her whole deal is about deploying these two floating swords that attack on their own, letting you pressure your opponent while you stay safe. The real trick with Ramlethal is keeping your opponent guessing and on the defensive long enough to land one of her many, many combos. Her Trance Overdrive is especially nasty, even if they're just blocking! It does take some practice to get those swords set up right, and they can feel a bit slow at first, but stick with it. Let's break down her moves so you can start putting the pressure on!

Tips for Playing Ramlethal
  • Focus on deploying your swords (Launch Greatsword) and then using your normal attacks or movement to control space while they do their thing.
  • Don't be afraid to use 'Recover Greatsword' to reposition them or bring them back if they get destroyed.
  • Experiment with her different 'Combination' moves to find combos that work for you. Some are great for starting pressure, others for extending combos.
  • 'Flama Cargo' and 'Sildo Detruo' are fantastic for closing distance or punishing from afar, especially when your opponent isn't expecting it.
  • 'Overdrive: Trance' is your big finisher. Try to set it up when you have a clear opening or have cornered your opponent. It does massive damage, even on block!
  • Remember that deploying and recovering swords costs you a bit of time and leaves you vulnerable, so be mindful of your spacing and timing.
  • Practice her command normals like 'Command Normal 1' (6+K) and 'Command Normal 2' (3+K) as they are key to her neutral game and combo structure.
