Base stats
Level 1 base, and the Level 60 projection. Stats grow ~10% of base per level (HP/ATK/DEF); Speed does not scale with level, so a fast hero stays fast relative to the field all game.
Element matchups
Water heroes resolve their type advantage like this:
Advantage is ×1.30, disadvantage ×0.75. See the full type chart →
Signature abilities
Detailed ability breakdowns
These signature abilities now fire in battle with their own damage and cooldowns — a bigger skill or ultimate hits harder, and the two healers restore HP instead of striking. Still on the way here on the site: the full per-ability breakdown (exact multipliers and effects), plus deeper mechanics like status effects and multi-target hits.
Note: in the current build, dedicated healing comes from Kingdom Medic and Cleric of Sol. Other support heroes contribute through their stats and element in the squad.
Lore
The Chemist took her apothecary's degree at twenty-two from a small school in the river towns and then spent six years compounding for a guildhouse in the capital, mostly purgatives and burn salves and the occasional sedative the guildmaster preferred not to keep on the public ledger. She joined the Vanguard at twenty-eight, not for any politics she has ever stated out loud, but because the field-medic posting paid four times what the guildhouse did and let her keep the formularies she developed. The Vanguard's chief field-surgeon vetted her on a single morning, signed the papers an hour later, and reportedly did not write down the questions he asked her, on the principle that he might want to ask the next candidate the same ones.
Her combat doctrine is a chemistry problem framed in seconds. The Catalyst Mist drill she fires at the line's interval-edge is volatile by design — the mist is acid-base reactive, and the difference between a wound dressing and a flesh-eater is which canister she opened in the second-step bag. She has dropped the wrong canister exactly once, in a drill, when she was tired; the senior medic who corrected her assigned her a written reflection that she completed in six pages and has carried, folded, in her right hip pouch ever since. The Panacea Burst ultimate the Vanguard credits her with is, in her own framing, a corrected version of the morning the wrong canister came up — every component in it is one she can identify by smell, and she has audibly tested the mix herself before every deployment of it.
She has a quiet line of correspondence with a Solstice imperial archivist who is researching pre-collapse alchemy texts, two of which she helped translate from a fragmentary marginal hand. Officially the correspondence is professional. Practically the archivist has started enclosing personal questions, and the Chemist has started enclosing personal answers — short ones, heavily numbered like a dosing schedule, and read by neither of their employers. The Vanguard intelligence officer who reviews her field correspondence has noticed the cadence and has, so far, not flagged it; the Chemist suspects the officer has correspondence of their own.
