 | 【Operator Mode】 Cloud's base mode. Well balanced as it allows him to do attacks while being able to defend at the same time. |
 | 【Punisher Mode】 Cloud's alternate mode. Movement is slower but attacks become stronger. Guarding against melee attacks when in this mode changes it into a counter instead. However, it has no counters to ranged or magic attacks. Pressing × reverts Cloud back to Operator Mode. |
