Neutral (Neutral + Special)	Pull of Charybdis	Using her extended spear, Nubia grabs an enemy then kicks them away. This attack can be angled up and down as well.	You can use this to interrupt enemy combos or to catch opponents that tend to dodge a lot.
Side (Side + Special)	Boost of Artemis	Nubia launches herself forward with a kick that hits enemies away.	While this is great for closing the gap against an opponent, this also works great when edgeguarding.

How to Play Nubia

Use Neutral Special to Keep Opponents Close

Pull of Charybdis and Aerial Charybdis are great moves you can use to get close to your opponent, with the ground version knocking an enemy back and the aerial version acting as a more natural gap closer.

Constantly using this move lets you keep enemies at melee range, allowing for quick follow up combos from you or your ally.

Time Down Special for Combos

Royal Step/Hunter's Surge lets you dash to your ally and knock back any enemies in the vicinity. While this move is similar to Wonder Woman's down special, this is more suitable for aggressive plays as you can continue off the knock back into other combos.
