During her EX Special Attack, the rapid thrust's Electric Anomaly Buildup increases by 20%.

Each additional thrust increases this multiplier by 15%, up to a maximum of 2 extra thrusts. "Yanagi can handle any unfamiliar environment thrown her way."

"But as you know, something that isn't mine... comes with a price."
