GUIDEMechanics and How to Use

At a Glance

A Middle commander and attacker that forms 6 Envy Absolute Resonance in a Middle team, then uses Payback to counter with MY HAIR COUPOOOOOOOOOOONS!!!! At 15 Vengeance Tattoo, unleash COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXTERMINATION!!

Core Mechanics

S3 from his counter (Uptie Ⅳ): If total Envy Absolute Resonance is 6 or more at Combat Start, the Defense skill Payback uses S3 when countering, up to 2 times per turn. At the same time, at Combat Start, it restores (Envy Resonance + 3) SP, up to 10, to the 3 Middle allies with the lowest SP, including himself (Uptie Ⅳ). He also gains Shield equal to 25% of HP lost.
Vengeance Tattoo and COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXTERMINATION!!: Through the combat passive The Big Brother (4 Envy Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ), he gains 1 Vengeance Tattoo per Envy Resonance at Combat Start, up to 7. Defeating enemies with S3 grants 2 per enemy, up to 6 per turn. At 15 or more at Turn Start, one basic skill becomes COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXTERMINATION!! (3 Attack Weight, Uptie Ⅳ), and he spends 15 after the attack. He gains E.G.O resources of the type he has least, one per enemy defeated, up to 4.
Raising the Middle's durability: Through the passive Vengeance Tattoo Resonance, Middle allies with a Defense skill equipped take −20% damage from one-sided attacks that turn. At 4 or more Envy Resonance, the Middle Identities on both sides of him, and at 6 or more, all Middle Identities, are not staggered by damage while they still have counters available.
Follow-ups when allies are hit: Through The Big Brother, when an enemy attacks a Middle Identity, he makes a one-sided attack on that attacker with Kicking, once per turn.
S3's bonus conditions: +1 Final Power per 2 Envy Resonance, up to 3. Offense Level Up equal to the highest Resonance, up to 6. +1 Attack Weight at 6 or more Envy Absolute Resonance, and +1 more at 20 or more Book of Vengeance [Heathcliff]. Additional Blunt damage equal to Envy Resonance×5%, up to 30%.
S2 — Watch Your Back!: At Combat Start, gives 2 Offense Level Up to the allies on both sides of him on the dashboard. It also inflicts debuffs such as 2 Paralyze and +3 Bleed Count.

How to Use

Assemble Middle Identities to build 6 Envy Absolute Resonance, and on turn 1 hold 4 Envy to activate the passive. All S1s can be replaced with Defense skills for countering. The Defense skill itself becomes a counter S3, and early on it also handles allies' SP recovery. As long as Envy Resonance is maintained, Vengeance Tattoo builds naturally, letting him fire COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXTERMINATION!! regularly. Take painful attacks, and attacks that apply heavy Rupture or Sinking, with Clashes from S2 and S3, and counter weak attacks.
