Claudia, wielder of the Guren Blade, is powerful and intimidating with her strong presence, sense of style, and fighting skills. The precise swings of her sword make her either a powerful ally or a terrifying enemy.
Background
Claudia is a Hykros Executor, a master of one-handed swords and incredible mobility makes her a deadly opponent when meeting on the front lines.
Both of her parents are from Hykros, her father also being an Executer while her mother is a Medical Department Researcher. Growing up, she wished to follow in her parent's footsteps and focused on being an Executor like her father and fought alongside his side before sacrificing himself for his comrades. What she and her mother weren’t aware of, was that the Executor Order was keeping them in the dark about the details of her father's death.

Matrices Builds
Since we can't get Claudia and fully explore her skills, based on the given information, we can recommend some matrices that may fit her playstyle from the footage.
- Best Matrices Set: Claudia (4 Matrices)
- Using four Claudia Matrices: It's always better to go for Simulacra's matrices for a standard build.
Possible Matrices:
- Shiro: Good for boosting DMG and Shatter to go along with Guren Blade, as it deals decent shatter using skills and discharge.
- Crow: Boosts DMG for high crit rate.
- Sobek: An alternative option for SSR DMG Chips when not available.
