A Shimmer lance's shaft is silver in the center and indigo on the ends, with the two colors separated by small, khaki-colored rings. The lower blade is a dark cross-shape similar to the top half of the Nobody symbol. It also sports a purple, curved blade on the lower half of the cross, with short, lilac spikes lining it. The upper blade is dark at its base and khaki-colored at the top, and forks into a "Y" shape. Two large, violet, semi-circular side blades connect to the two points of the main blade, and each one is lined by four lilac spikes of varying length; they somewhat resemble the berserk form of the [[Lunatic]]. | A Shimmer lance's shaft is silver in the center and indigo on the ends, with the two colors separated by small, khaki-colored rings.

Shimmer’s normal ground combo starts with a sideways slash using one lance, followed by a downward diagonal slash using the other lance, and ends with a thrust of all six lances forwards at once. The {{button|dsy}} combo can be activated after the second attack, and consists of Xaldin swinging his lances from the same starting point upward to two far points in a "V" formation, followed by a leap and a downward diagonal slash with one lance. The combo then ends with a thrust of all six lances forwards at once in a pointed, star-like shape. | Shimmer’s normal ground combo starts with a sideways slash using one lance, followed by a downward diagonal slash using the other lance, and ends with a thrust of all six lances forwards at once.
