what were Ren's techniques/moveset in that game? Was his Semblance revealed in the game? I've only played as him a bit so take this post with salt.

His ranged attack is utter shit. Simple as that. Sure, it hits multiple times, but the damage it deals isn't great and has more lag than, say, Blake's. However, his ranged attack isn't just an attack, it's a combo, with the last hit being a flurry of shots around him hitting multiple enemies. Though the damage is still terrible enough that using it to clear crowds it's useless.

His melee attacks are good, but his light-to-heavy combos are more sucky. They deal great damage but they take a while to finish, a while during which most enemies can hit Ren, stopping the combo before it ends. Though the "1st hit-to-Heavy" combo is more reliable in that sense.

His heavy attack is an Aura Blast, what he did against the Taijitu. It's just awesome. Deals great damage, is quick....though upgrading it makes it more risky to use as it makes it drain your Aura when used (still worth it however).

His ultimate is dashing to a number of enemies's faces and Aura Blasting them. Quick and accurate, but the damage done individually felt....lacking.
