This version of Eirin is a 3-button character. What she lacks in stamina and combo potential, she makes up for in keepaway, using her arrows to cover screen space and preventing an opponent's advance. Due to this, Eirin is best played defensively, using her Elixirs and Saturn V to punish an opponent's wrong move and then using her arrows to keep them at bay.
The button can be used as a shortcut for her and Dash commands. Most of her specials are designed to cover screen space to restrict the opponent's movement. Unlike most characters, her normal is a projectile, which can be held down to charge the attack, allowing Eirin to fire up to two more arrows in rapid succession.
Eirin has two level three spellcards at her disposal, though can only choose one for the match. "Heaven Spider's Butterfly Catching Web" is mostly used as a combo ender, and useful for racking up damage on a knocked down opponent. Leading God "Omoikane Device", however, improves Eirin's keepaway game, providing her with extra arrows or detonating the device for a large AoE zoning tool.

Note: All non-projectile, non-throw attacks will gain a 25% damage boost on counterhit, as well as increased hitstun; all Light normals gain an addtional +1 frame advantage on counterhit, while all other non-projectile and non-throw attacks gain an additional +3 frame advantage. Moves that hit multiple times will only have counterhit bonuses applied to the first hit of the attack unless otherwise stated.

Button press determines the angle of the initial arrow and the point of impact, with stopping just above Eirin, about half screen away, and about 1 full screen away.

Eirin's only non-projectile special. Eirin launches herself upward, using her bow as a spring, then lands. Button press determines Eirin's landing location. Eirin is completely invulnerable until she is airborne, so it can be used to escape and punish attacks if timed properly. The attack, however, has utility as a repositioning tool to give space between Eirin and her opponent, though should not be thrown out liberally due to the landing recovery.

Description
Eirin emits an orb of light from her body. The orb lasts for about 20 seconds. Pressing again will toggle the orb between Sentinel Mode and Seeker Mode. During Sentinel Mode, the default mode, the orb will follow Eirin around and will fire additional arrows each time Eirin uses her specials. During Seeker Mode, the orb will gain a brighter flash as it now follows the opponent instead of Eirin, but will no longer fire any extra arrows when Eirin uses her specials. There is a slight delay where the orb will attempt to "catch up" with either Eirin or the opponent, so strategic placement and movement can provide Eirin with a significant amount of area coverage. Additionally, when summoned, the orb will begin with a 0% charge, which will increase whenever Eirin would normally gain meter. At 100% charge, Eirin will be able to detonate the orb using Mind of God "Omoikane's Brain".

Description
Once the Omoikane Device has been charged to 100% power, Eirin can detonate it. The device will explode, covering almost half the screen. It is best to build the device's charge to 100% using the orb's Sentinel Mode, then switch the orb to Seeker mode before using this move as it will home in on the opponent's position so you can easily detonate it. Alternatively, detonating the device while in Sentinel Mode can provide Eirin with a close range anti-air which also functions well in close range combos.
