LCA Udjat Vanguard Team 3 Leader

At a Glance

Maintain The Udjat [Vanguard] to lower enemy Coins' Heads chance while enhanced S2 and S3 win clashes from turn 1. Aggro and Protection also let her shield allies.

Core Mechanics

• The Udjat [Vanguard]: Maximum 2, decreasing by 1 at Turn End. +3 to minimum and maximum Speed, and 1 Protection at Combat Start. On the first Clash exchange, it halves the chance of all of the target's Coins landing Heads, and when she is the main target of a one-sided attack, it halves the Heads chance of the first Coin (once per skill, 3 times per turn). While she has it, S1 gains +1 Clash Power, S2 gains +2 Clash Power and +30% damage (Uptie Ⅳ), and S3 gains +50% damage (Uptie Ⅳ).
• Gaining The Udjat: Through the combat passive Vanguard Team (3 Gloom Resonance; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ), she gains 2 Udjat at Combat Start (+5% damage per Protection, up to 15%). Through the always-active The Scepter of Horus - Replica, she gains 1 Udjat at Turn Start if an enemy has a Panic Type change effect. Blue Sand, inflicted by Coin Ⅱ of S3 (3 next turn), changes the Panic Type of targets with SP.
• S3 — The Vanguard will See it Done: Coins Ⅰ and Ⅲ spend 2 LCA Fracture Rounds each, with +30% damage per round spent and +1 Base Power per round to be spent. After the attack, she reloads if she has 2 or fewer Fracture Rounds (5 times per battle). Without ammo, the attack is cancelled. Coin Ⅱ inflicts 2 Sinking, 3 Blue Sand, and 1 Gloom Resist Down; Coin Ⅲ triggers Tremor Burst and also inflicts 1 Gloom Fragility if the target's SP is below 0.
• Sheut Fracture: A special Sinking (up to 10). Inflicts 2 on S1 and S2 Clash Wins, and 1 on basic attack skill hits while she has Udjat (up to 15 per turn; extra equal to rounds spent when Fracture Rounds are spent). +1% damage taken from Sloth and Gloom skills per point; on reaching its maximum, the bearer gains 1 Gloom Fragility, takes Gloom damage equal to its Sinking Potency, and it disappears.
• Covering ability: S1, S2, and S3 grant 3, 5, and 8 Aggro next turn. The Defense skill Composure (Gloom; its Sin affinity is added at Uptie Ⅳ) grants 1 Protection while she has Udjat, Shield of 5% of max HP per Protection (up to 15%), and inflicts 3 Sinking on attackers while the Shield lasts (3 times per turn). Protection gained from basic skills and Udjat totals up to 5 per turn.
• Sinking and Tremor bonuses: Each attack skill gains +1 Coin Power per 6 combined Sinking and Tremor on the target (up to 2; S3 gains +1 at 6 or more).

How to Use

On turn 1, build 3 Gloom Resonance to gain Udjat through Vanguard Team. Her own Gloom skills are only S3 and her Defense skill (Uptie Ⅳ), so keep allies' Gloom skills in hand to form the Resonance. While she has Udjat, S2 combines high Clash Power and damage, so use it as her main skill. After that, keep replenishing Udjat at Turn Start through S3's Blue Sand or Panic Type change effects inflicted by allies (for example, Echoes of the Manor). Her Tremor Potency infliction is small, just 2 Tremor from Coin Ⅲ of S2, so pairing her with allies who stack Tremor or Sinking makes the combined Sinking and Tremor bonus conditions easier to meet. A Sinking team is the best fit.
