SoulCalibur V Pyrrha Strategy Guide – Moves and Combos

Pyrrha – she looks intimidatingly familiar. Those cute-ish looks, the sword and shield and the knight-like mini-skirt; there’s definitely something about her that makes her look viable, fast and lethal.

We heard about her way back in the original SoulCalibur, but this is the first time she makes an official playable appearance in the series.

She’s a combination of Sophitia and Cassandra, two ultra-speedy girls in the previous SoulCalibur games.

In this guide, we’ll be concentrating on Pyrrha and what she’s really capable of. To put it in detail, we’ll be going over the following:

Soulcalibur V Pyrrha Alexandra

Description: The daughter of Sophitia and Rothion and elder sister of Patroklos, Pyrrha adopts her late mother Sophitia’s and her aunt Cassandra’s fighting traits. But she’s not all glittery and gold.

Pyrrha has a dark side to herself – she believes that Tira is her friend, since she was kidnapped by her at a young age and raised by her. Furthermore, Pyrrha has an attraction to the Soul Edge, which transforms her into Pyrrha Omega.
