* CombatMedic: His skill lets him double as a healing tank. He stops attacking while it's active, however.
* CrutchCharacter: Spot is reasonably effective up until the mid-game. However, his low rarity means he cannot be promoted to Elite 2 and his skill can't be Mastered, which makes him woefully underpowered when tackling harder content.
* DeadpanSnarker: Most of Spot's voiced lines are pretty much peppered with sass, which is unsurprising considering his status as the OnlySaneMan of his squad alongside Orchid.

* AnimalMotifs: Bovines, due to her Forte race. A black [[AnimalGenderBender bull]] to be specific, as seen in her Elite 2 artwork.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: A later update to the game added a voucher to exchange for either her ''or'' Indra after using Recruitment at least 300 times, alleviating the RareRandomDrop for either of them at least once. You'll still need to hunt for her to up her potentials, but that is also eased by two small boons: a second voucher is available after using Recruitment 1000 times, and she can make use of Epic Defender tokens as substitutes (at a 4-to-1 ratio).
* ArtificialLimbs: Her right leg is a prosthetic which her dialogue implies that it's the result of a smithing accident. [[ArmedLegs It also doubles as her primary method of attacking]].
* AwesomeButImpractical: Vulcan is basically a Defender version of Hellagur, sporting very high stats across the board and is capable of great self-sustain when fighting alone. She's also one of the hardest to use properly due to her staggering DP cost (the second highest in the game, just behind [[spoiler:Mudrock]]) and poor synergy due to her inability to be healed by most Medics, making it very difficult to keep her alive in most heated situations; her long skill cooldowns don't help with this either, since her skills need to be running in order for her HP to regenerate (her higher-rarity counterpart, [[spoiler:Mudrock]], has a talent proc that lets them restore some HP much more frequently). Even more so than Nian, who at least has a niche she can fit into, there really is never a moment where Vulcan would serve as a dramatic tide-turner; as such, most players who have her tend to just keep her around as a trophy due to her rarity more than anything.
* TheBlacksmith: She serves as Rhodes Island's blacksmith, in charge of the production and maintenance of Operator weapons. Unlike traditional examples of this trope, however, Vulcan's personal quarters/workshop is filled with all manners of robotics and sophisticated manufacturing equipment, save for an enormous anvil and furnace she uses for ritualistic purposes.
* CombatPragmatist: In one of her battle lines, Vulcan gloats about [[WreckedWeapon destroying the opponent's weapon]].
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her left horn has been chipped, while her right leg [[ArtificialLimbs is a prosthetic]].
* GenderBlenderName: She's named after the Roman '''god''' of smithing. This may go along with her being based on a bull.
* HiddenDepths: Aside from her obsession with smithing, Vulcan is apparently a pretty good baker. Her honey cakes (as well as those made by Lava and Matterhorn) are Ceobe's favorite snack.
* HornedHumanoid: She has black bull-like horns.
* InTheHood: She wears a hooded jacket which has holes to let her horns out.
* KickChick: By default, she attacks using her prosthetic leg.
* MightyGlacier: Vulcan has great HP and attack stats along with a good defense (albeit low for a Defender), but has slightly low attack speed in return. Her ''Combat Mode'' skill pushes this even further, slightly decreasing her attack speed in return for giving her RegeneratingHealth and a massive attack boost.
* NecessaryDrawback: She has ''very'' high stats all-around, but pays for it with a very high deployment cost (the second-highest out of all operators including high-end [=AoE=] casters like Mostima and Ifrit, in fact!) and the inability to be healed by most friendly Operators. This may cross over into AwesomeButImpractical territory.
* OrnamentalWeapon: There is an axe attached to her shield, which seems to be only for show.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as one towards Ceobe as she sponsored Ceobe's induction into Rhodes Island as an Operator and provides her help with various tasks, especially because she is extremely interested in the mysterious axe Ceobe wields.
* RareRandomDrop: Like Indra, she is only available as a recruitment-only character. However, despite having more guaranteed tag combinations than Indra[[note]]the Defender/Survival and Defense/Survival tag combinations guarantee her, assuming none of the tags get crossed out; the Defender/DPS combination is shared with Liskarm; and the Defense/DPS combination is shared with Liskarm and Astesia[[/note]], her rarity comes from her tags almost never appearing together, to the point that some players have gotten Top/Senior Operator tags and/or even ''Indra'' before her. Even when one of the guaranteed tag combinations appear, there's still a chance of the tags being crossed out and the result being a three-star unit instead.
* RegeneratingHealth: Unlike most operators, Vulcan cannot be healed by friendly Operators. She compensates this by regenerating a percentage of her maximum health for every second her skill is active.[[note]]This works slightly differently depending on which skill you're using. Her talent ''Self Defense'' restores her health every second while either skill is active, with her ''Defense Mode'' skill increasing that amount even further. If you're using ''Combat Mode'' instead, her health is restored each time Vulcan attacks an enemy instead, though her talent's healing effect is still applied.[[/note]] In-story this is justified by her making on-the-fly equipment maintenance on herself. That, and because she seems to not want to be healed by conventional Medics.
-->'''Vulcan:''' I don't need healing.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Vulcan (Hephaestus in Greek) was TheBlacksmith to the Olympians. She herself serves as one to Rhodes Island. Like the god himself, Vulcan also lost a leg.
* SeriousBusiness: Forging and inventing gadgets. Vulcan is so deeply engrossed in her craft that she sleeps in Rhodes Island's foundry and never leaves the place unless she's assigned on a mission. [[StoryAndGameplaySegregation Though, there's nothing stopping you from keeping her posted elsewhere, or removing her from a Factory should you feel like it]].
** This is manifested in her base skill, where if assigned to a Factory, she has reduced morale consumption and also ''decreases'' the productivity of that facility. However, this productivity malus is nullified when paired with Eunectes, who automatically sets the productivity bonuses of a factory she's assigned to to zero, which also negates Vulcan's penalty.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: A later update to the game added a voucher to exchange for either her ''or'' Indra after using Recruitment at least 300 times, alleviating the RareRandomDrop for either of them at least once. You'll still need to hunt for her to up her potentials, but that is also eased by two small boons: a second voucher is available after using Recruitment 1000 times, and she can make use of Epic Defender tokens as substitutes (at a 4-to-1 ratio).

Even more so than Nian, who at least has a niche she can fit into, there really is never a moment where Vulcan would serve as a dramatic tide-turner; as such, most players who have her tend to just keep her around as a trophy due to her rarity more than anything.
* TheBlacksmith: She serves as Rhodes Island's blacksmith, in charge of the production and maintenance of Operator weapons. Unlike traditional examples of this trope, however, Vulcan's personal quarters/workshop is filled with all manners of robotics and sophisticated manufacturing equipment, save for an enormous anvil and furnace she uses for ritualistic purposes.
* CombatPragmatist: In one of her battle lines, Vulcan gloats about [[WreckedWeapon destroying the opponent's weapon]].
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her left horn has been chipped, while her right leg [[ArtificialLimbs is a prosthetic]].
* GenderBlenderName: She's named after the Roman '''god''' of smithing. This may go along with her being based on a bull.
* HiddenDepths: Aside from her obsession with smithing, Vulcan is apparently a pretty good baker. Her honey cakes (as well as those made by Lava and Matterhorn) are Ceobe's favorite snack.
* HornedHumanoid: She has black bull-like horns.
* InTheHood: She wears a hooded jacket which has holes to let her horns out.
* KickChick: By default, she attacks using her prosthetic leg.
* MightyGlacier: Vulcan has great HP and attack stats along with a good defense (albeit low for a Defender), but has slightly low attack speed in return. Her ''Combat Mode'' skill pushes this even further, slightly decreasing her attack speed in return for giving her RegeneratingHealth and a massive attack boost.
* NecessaryDrawback: She has ''very'' high stats all-around, but pays for it with a very high deployment cost (the second-highest out of all operators including high-end [=AoE=] casters like Mostima and Ifrit, in fact!) and the inability to be healed by most friendly Operators. This may cross over into AwesomeButImpractical territory.
* OrnamentalWeapon: There is an axe attached to her shield, which seems to be only for show.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as one towards Ceobe as she sponsored Ceobe's induction into Rhodes Island as an Operator and provides her help with various tasks, especially because she is extremely interested in the mysterious axe Ceobe wields.
* RareRandomDrop: Like Indra, she is only available as a recruitment-only character. However, despite having more guaranteed tag combinations than Indra[[note]]the Defender/Survival and Defense/Survival tag combinations guarantee her, assuming none of the tags get crossed out; the Defender/DPS combination is shared with Liskarm; and the Defense/DPS combination is shared with Liskarm and Astesia[[/note]], her rarity comes from her tags almost never appearing together, to the point that some players have gotten Top/Senior Operator tags and/or even ''Indra'' before her. Even when one of the guaranteed tag combinations appear, there's still a chance of the tags being crossed out and the result being a three-star unit instead.
* RegeneratingHealth: Unlike most operators, Vulcan cannot be healed by friendly Operators. She compensates this by regenerating a percentage of her maximum health for every second her skill is active.[[note]]This works slightly differently depending on which skill you're using. Her talent ''Self Defense'' restores her health every second while either skill is active, with her ''Defense Mode'' skill increasing that amount even further. If you're using ''Combat Mode'' instead, her health is restored each time Vulcan attacks an enemy instead, though her talent's healing effect is still applied.[[/note]] In-story this is justified by her making on-the-fly equipment maintenance on herself. That, and because she seems to not want to be healed by conventional Medics.

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Vulcan (Hephaestus in Greek) was TheBlacksmith to the Olympians. She herself serves as one to Rhodes Island. Like the god himself, Vulcan also lost a leg.

However, this productivity malus is nullified when paired with Eunectes, who automatically sets the productivity bonuses of a factory she's assigned to to zero, which also negates Vulcan's penalty.
