Combat Behavior
In both forms, combat with Rosetta is generally unchanging.
Humanoid
Rosetta's attacks largely depend on the distance between her and the player character.
At long range, she will use Freezing Storm, Freezing Wind, Homing Missile, Aerial Railgun, and Shield Rush more often.
At medium range, she will use Dive Slash and Crisis Breakthrough more often.
At close range, she will use Spinning Uppercut, Triple Combo, Quad Combo more often.
During combat, Rosetta will respond to receiving melee damage by backstepping, then performing any of her regular attacks. During most of her attacks, Rosetta will gain Super Armor.
The main exception to this is during Matrix. During this time, Rosetta's Super Armor will be disabled, and she will not backstep when taking damage. This period of time will often extend a few moments after Matrix, as well, to allow the player to finish their combo.
She will also remain stationary during most Signature Moves.
If the player continues to deal melee attacks to her despite her backstepping, she may continue to backstep further. There is no limit on the number of backsteps Rosetta may perform, but she will always break the chain with an attack of her own eventually.
When receiving ranged damage, Rosetta will frequently respond by executing a Shield Rush. She will gain Super Armor and rush forwards towards her target, executing any of her close-ranged attacks once she enters melee range.
Quadruped
