Takuma Yuba/Abilities

Yuba is the leader of a top B-rank Squad. As such, he has some skill in strategy and situation analysis. However, once a rank war started, command of the team usually fell to Tadaomi Kanda, while Yuba went off on his own to pick off the enemies one by one. Currently, Yuba appears to have taken to working more closely with his teammates, and has demonstrated to be able to coordinate well with Yukari Obishima, alternating rather than combining his attacks with hers. He himself has some skill at support, keeping an eye on Obishima during a fast-paced battle and saving her from an ambush.

Kazuma Satomi hailed Yuba as one of the strongest agents in Border in one-on-one fights, claiming that unlike Masataka Ninomiya, Sōya Kazama and Kō Murakami, who rarely fight in solo matches but are high-ranked due to seldomly losing, Yuba has cemented his rank by scoring tens of thousands of wins against Border's most powerful fighters, including Kei Tachikawa. Satomi also noted that although in normal conditions Ninomiya is likely to win, if the map allowed Yuba to come close enough to the Shooter he would take the advantage. Yūma in fact remarked that Yuba's draw is faster than the eye can register, so much so that he was able to defeat the extremely quick Attacker before he could put up a Shield. In addition, his handguns have decreased range and only six bullets in the chamber in return for heightened power and speed, allowing him to tear the defenses of his opponent to shreds in mere instants. Against opponents with high levels of trion and a good guard, he will instead use Bagworm and Viper to throw them off-balance. Because the parameters of his firearms cause Yuba to engage his target from a relatively short distance, Osamu observed that he fights as an Attacker with guns rather than as an ordinary Gunner.
