To allow Vidya to operate in the Academia Acropolis, Fritia developed this new exosuit. It has strong anti-detection and reconnaissance abilities.

Weapon: sniper rifle
Element: Chaos
Role: Auxiliary "Generalist"

"Compared to watching from behind, I would rather stand with the Adjutant."
"Gather clues, investigate carefully, and make the deduction! That's right, I'm the great detective, Celestial Swan!"
"Investigation of the scene complete, the mystery will be solved right away!"

Standard Skill: Red Herring

Vidya deploys a [Guided Beacon], which detonates to deal Chaos damage when an enemy enters its range. Vidya can also throw the [Guided Beacon] at a target by long-pressing the skill instead. There is a maximum number of [Guided Beacons] that can be deployed.

While Vidya is on the field, the damage and range of the [Guided Beacon] will increase over time. Vidya can also manually detonate the [Guided Beacon] by shooting it and then swapping with a different operative.

Neuronic 1: Dealing damage to an enemy with a [Guided Beacon] increases the damage they take from other [Guided Beacons].
Neuronic 2: Dealing damage to an enemy with a [Guided Beacon] inflicts [Dazed] on them, dealing Chaos damage over time based on Vidya's attack.

vic note: Dazed is the same type of DoT effect as the one that Cherno - Enigma applies, though hers is a special version.

Support Skill: Chain of Evidence

This skill requires a certain amount of S-Energy to activate.

Vidya enters the [Evidence Gathering] state, deploying a [Search Assistant] that attaches to an enemy and generates a [Search Area], reducing the Defense of the attached enemy.

When the enemy that [Search Assistant] is attached to is damaged, the [Search Assistant] reduces the elemental resistance of that enemy and all other enemies within the radius of the [Search Area] based on the element of damage that was inflicted. This resistance reduction increases over time.

Vidya cannot regenerate S-Energy while in the [Evidence Gathering] state, and consumes S-Energy over time to maintain this skill. She also immediately regenerates a certain amount of S-Energy when this skill's cooldown ends.

Neuronic 1: When the attached enemy is defeated, reduce the cooldown of this skill.
Neuronic 2: When a Chaos weapon is equipped, further boost the resistance reduction effect of the [Search Assistant] the first time that the specific type of elemental resistance reduction is set.

Ultimate Skill: Timeline of Events

Vidya applies [Suspect] to the targeted enemy. She can recast this ability to transfer the mark to a different enemy. When the marked enemy does not have a shield and its current health is below a certain value, dealing damage to it will consume all U-Energy to deal true damage to it equal to its current health.

Neuronic 1: Reduce the attack of the marked enemy.
Neuronic 2: Further increase the health threshold based on the amount of U-Energy available.

vic note: yes, this is an execute to any marked enemy that drops below a certain amount of HP.

Deiwos Passive: Deductive Sense

When equipped with a Chaos weapon, Vidya is in the [Evidence Gathering] state, and a deployed [Search Assistant] is reducing an enemy's elemental resistance, Vidya increases the attack of all other party members by a portion of her own attack (this boost scales with Alignment Index). If the type of elemental resistance being inflicted by the [Search Assistant] changes, this effect is deactivated for a period of time.
