Eden's fighting style is seemingly straight-forward as it simply requires hand-to-hand combat. However, this is merely the surface of her true style as there are many different sub-forms and techniques/styles within it.
Over the years, she has developed a fighting style that is derived from Shaolin martial arts and she then tweaked it to accommodate her abilities and such. Such styles include special footwork and movement patterns while at the same time incorporating a very potent, or powerful, offense as well as defense.
In terms of offense, Eden is very...forward in her overall fighting style as she just goes straight into hand-to-hand combat and she does not use techniques that may be considered hidden or secretive, which may perhaps be a flaw but it in fact is not. The reason why it is not is due to the fact that, for most beings, one would be on the look-out for techniques that could possibly be hidden from the line of sight. Eden eliminates this factor by ridding herself of techniques that utilize that style of combat, which takes the opponent off-guard as they would continuously search for such hidden strikes but to no avail. As was said sentences earlier, she is very straight-forward when it comes to fighting, but it is really a bit more complex than what it seems. Her footwork for instance is very different, as she changes her "rhythm" every time her opponent stops to breathe, keeping her opponent constantly on their toes. The "rhythms" she utilizes depends upon her opponent, as every being is different from one to the next, though these "rhythms" even are uneven and sporadic. This allows her to keep her opponent from getting a lock on her fighting patterns, which she has none but she makes it seem like there are patterns in order to fool her opponents.
In terms of defense, she is the exact same way as offense. In the same way, her defensive capabilities seem very straight-forward and easy to notice but it is actually a bit more complex than what the eyes can see. When defending from a distance, Eden focuses on her footwork and body weight to maneuver herself around spirit-based, long-range techniques. By using her weight, she adds momentum to her movements, causing her to move slightly faster, while at the same time using her footwork to keep control and grace over her movements. When defending in arms-reach combat, her defensive techniques become circular in natural movement and she uses the dead weight of her arms to push away all attacks that come her way. These circular movements are very broad and they are easy to notice if only one block is made but if she is blocking multiple attacks, such movements become for more fluid and quick causing an opponent's vision to be confused by the circular, defensive movements and creating an opening for Eden to attack back.
When fighting against opponents with weapons, Eden again alters her fighting style to accommodate such weaponry as she has much knowledge on the weapons of the worlds. When it comes to weapons, it really comes down to her footwork that counts the most because there are many different styles to accommodate each weapon which means there would be too much to adapt to if one were to focus on the overall body. By allowing her footwork to guide her around weapon-based attacks, she is able to use the rest of her body as a counter for the openings in a weapon user's techniques.
As she is extremely formidable in combat alone, she also utilizes strategy and planning what will happen in future steps. Eden takes great pride in being able to plan her moves against an opponent and gain the advantage merely by intelligence and knowledge of battle tactics. This knowledge would be considered the icing which tops of the cake of her fighting style and it is what allows her to hold an advantage even when against opponents who are superior to her in terms of power.
MAGIC TYPES | N/A
DJINN | N/A
STRENGTHS | It is the efforts of her training, and not the martial art itself, that attributes her strengths. Her training has made her body tougher and lighter. Her martial art allows her to utilize both offense and defense in close combat...that is, when she is able to concentrate on her tasks and nothing else.
WEAKNESSES | The fighting style itself has no weaknesses as it is designed to fend off any and all sides of combat. However, The weaknesses come from Eden herself, as she has not been able to apply her martial arts into real combat situations. Therefore she is inexperienced and many mistakes can be made on her part because of her "real-time" combat inexperience.
WEAPONS | Potential Metal Vessel - Bracers :: These bracers are made of a very fine metal known as titanium. It is highly conductive, durable, and flexible which makes these bracers perfect for combat.
