Matchup Summary

Her 5B/2B/JB Fans: Her fans are deemed useless in this matchup. However, they can also help counter against B Maziodyne and her AoA. Remember to use them wisely when fighting against Elizabeth.

Dia: Dia gives Yukiko a great advantage against all of Elizabeth's zoning and ranged attacks, such as Maziodyne and Maragidyne after its active frames. You can also use Dia to bait both, Elizabeth and her Persona. Remember to use it wisely, it can't defend you from all of her attacks such as her AAA, but if you activate Dia after Elizabeth summons her Persona, you can easily take a card away from her. Even Elizabeth's 5B and J.B attacks and B+D can't break Yukiko out of Dia.

Agi and Maragi: Remember to time and place your Agi fireballs and Maragi's properly. Maragi hits low and will help against Elizabeth's Maziodyne and 5B. Remember to summon Maragi before Elizabeth summons them, but I personally recommend using the C version of Maragi against Maziodyne because the fireball does not disappear while Yukiko is blocking (the C version can help against J.B if the pillar is summoned), giving Yukiko a better chance to counter against both attacks. Agi's fireballs can be used as a great counter against Elizabeth's Magarudyne if placed accordingly.

Her 5B/2B/JB Fans: All of Elizabeth's B attacks have a great advantage against her fans after they are activated. Maziodyne and Magarudyne also shut them off automatically.

Dia: Elizabeth can counter against Dia with her AAA and standard Persona attacks while Dia is still in use. Her 2B attack and AoA can also break Yukiko out of Dia.

Agi and Maragi: Elizabeth can easily dodge Yukiko's Agi fireballs with Magarudyne to move out of where the fireball was placed. Maragi's fireballs once summoned can shut down when either Maziodyne or D Maragidyne attack Yukiko while she is not blocking after executing the move too soon. Timing is the key to attack Elizabeth with Agi and Maragi.

5B and J.B: Elizabeth's B attacks can instantly shut her fans down when timed and executed properly. If the timing for her B attacks are well executed, they can even link to her Persona attacks.

Shuffle Time: Elizabeth's DP can give Yukiko status effects depending on how much SP Elizabeth has during the match. A list of Aliments and the amount of SP that is needed prior to Shuffle Time can be found below:

Maziodyne, Magarudyne, Mabufudyne, and Maragidyne: These moves function similarly to their other counterparts, except they also come with additional effects such as shock for SB Maziodyne. It is unsafe to block against Magarudyne and Mabufudyne, and the former instantly destroys her fans during its active frames similar to the vein of Maziodyne.

Mahamaon and Mamudoon: Elizabeth's instant kill supers need no explaination here, if your Persona is broken and you are unable to use Dia, stay away from both moves as much as possible. Both moves do have lengthy startup times during activation, waiting at least 10 seconds for either one of the two attacks to take place.

5B and J.B: Maragi can help destroy Elizabeth's B attacks depending on the type used. If 5B, the ground fireball can go under Elizabeth's projectile attack and hit her. If J.B, the detonated pillar from Maragi will appear underneath Elizabeth and attack her, both methods give Yukiko a great chance to create mixups, combos or unblockable setups.

Shuffle Time: Yukiko can easily dodge or counter Shuffle Time with her fans or fireballs during its active frames. Remember to time them well.

Maziodyne, Magarudyne, Mabufudyne, and Maragidyne: It is recommended that you use Maragi C against Maziodyne because the fireball does not disappear while Yukiko is blocking all versions of them. Agi and Maragi also have a great advantage against Magarudyne if both placed accordingly, or in Maragi's case, follows Elizabeth's path and detonates the fireball during Magarudyne's active frames; the D version of Maragi is recommended for Magarudyne. Maragidyne is easy to counter thanks to its lengthy startup and recovery. You can protect Yukiko from them with Dia during the active startup frames of the respective moves. If you are lucky, you can activate firebreak and D Maragidyne to counter against her Maziodyne.

Mahamaon and Mamudoon: Dia can easily go through both moves without allowing Yukiko to risk herself by getting killed. Remember to time Dia wisely, though. Yukiko can even shut them off if she attacks Elizabeth head on.

This is one of these matchups where you want to be physical against your opponent. Elizabeth can easily outzone and outheal Yukiko with her full-screen lightning and C Persona attacks, she even has Yukiko's Maragidyne, with one new addition where both C & D Maragidyne are combined. She also has two SP attacks that will lead to an instant KO, one similar to Naoto, and the other that is specific to her.

Breaking Elizabeth's Persona is a huge factor in this matchup, as this will allow you to approach her head on without having the need to block her full-screen Maziodyne projectile. Remember to Dia against her projectiles, time your Agi's against Magarudyne, and even spam Maragi on both, her B attacks and Maziodyne; but be sure to block on Maziodyne after Maragi is in use, this will help the fireball go under the beam even if Yukiko is blocking or using Dia to protect herself from it. Destroy Elizabeth's Persona, avoid Mahamaon and Mamudoon, and the match is yours.
