History Characters / Vindictus

----

* CounterAttack: Comes in three variations with Counterattack, Heavy Stander Counter, and Downward Counter.

* AlchemyIsMagic: A few of Evie's skills are alchemic in nature.
* BadassFingerSnap: Her Scythe Smash attacks [[TouchOfDeath Mark of Death]] and [[RazorFloss Bloody Thread]] are activated like this.

* DeathFromAbove: Evie has the Meteor Swarm holding skill, which summons meteors to ravage the battlefield and stun enemies.
* DeflectorShield: Evie's Mana Shield acts like this. Though easily damaged and broken, it soaks hits first before damaging her health. It also slowly regenerates on its own.
* EnergyWeapon: The recent Evie revamp introduced the fifth tier for Focus, unlocking the spell Raze. She ''literally'' shoots a beam of energy out of one end of her staff.
* FlashStep: Her Blink ability.
* FireIceLightning: Most of Staff Evie's offensive spells are one of the three.
* GlassCannon: Evie is a DPS machine, but she needs to rely on skills like Blink and Mana Amber to avoid dying almost instantly.

* MagicStaff
%%* ManaMeter: A very subtle example. At first glance, Vindictus seems to lack a ManaMeter, but that's not quite accurate. Unlike the other characters, Evie's stamina regeneration is determined by her intelligence stat rather than her agility stat, and nearly every action that causes her to lose stamina involves a magic spell of some kind. Put that together and you realize that Evie's stamina gauge is a stand-in for ordinary an ordinary ManaMeter.

* PowerFloats: Her tier five animation for Focus has her staff glowing and hovering by her side. Similarly, her idle animation on the character creation screen has her reading a floating map, while the set-up animation for her Meteor Swarm SP skill has her holding a floating book in one hand.

* SquishyWizard: Though Mana Amber and her Magic Shields certainly help to avert this at times, some later bosses can break through it all in one hit.

Eira is the 14th addition to Vindictus's list of playable characters. She wields a pair of magic revolvers which are enhanced by her ability to create [[ThinkingUpPortals portals]].

!!Belle

* FriendToAllLivingThings

* HeightAngst: She absolutely ''despises'' being called short or any other conversation pertaining to her height.

Kael is the 17th playable character of Vindictus. Released in November 2020.

A knight from the Royal Guard.

Questioning the values he believed in, he joined the resistance, but after being involved in an incident, the schism between two values led him to Colhen.
A character that can be felt through his deft movements of his Swordspear and ability to deal additional damage.

!!Shared Tropes
Nonspecific traits that are commonly shared between the playable characters.
* AccidentalHero: None of the mercenaries below intended to become heroes for the same reasons. Some became mercenaries to purge the Fomors and get stronger, while others have more intimate reasons for signing on.

* AntiHero: Similar to above, many of the characters here come from varying, often tragic backgrounds forcing them to becoming mercenaries.

!!Lann

!!Fiona

* RealWomenDontWearDresses: While some out of her outfits are a little girly she is still more armored than most of the men and women.
* LadyOfWar: The original badass girl who kicks as much butt as the men while not being overly-sexualized doing it.

* ShieldBash: Many, many shield bashes.

!!Evie

-----

!!Karok

!!Kai

!!Vella

* CounterAttack: Unlike Fiona, Vella's counter attack Cross Cut covers ''all'' forms of close-range attacks.
** DifficultButAwesome: Unlike Fiona's version, messing up the timing causes you to take a take a hit to the face as opposed to losing a chance to deal some damage after a block, and Vella isn't made to take blows like Fiona is. On the other hand, mastering the timing of Cross Cut and Cross Stance can give a Vella player amazing survivability.

!!Hurk

* {{Main/Hunk}}: Tall? Check. Strong? Check. Dashing good looks? Check.

!!Lynn

!!Arisha

!!Sylas

!!Delia

!!Miri

!!Grimden

!!Eira

* GenkiGirl:

!!Kael

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking and AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: yetis respect only strength. The strongest and biggest Yeti are the leaders by default.

* MinionMaster: She has access to three summoned creatures: a wisp (created from a fraction of her enemies' souls), a Golem, and a turret.

* ArcherArchetype: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Ditto]].

* DropTheHammer: One of her two weapon choices is a warhammer.

The leader of the Fomorians. He wears an [[RageHelm imposing skull helmet with two large horns]] and wields a [[DropTheHammer gigantic hammer]] named Velad-Kahm. [[spoiler:He is betrayed and killed by his subordinate Black Hammer in Episode 9 after telling the Hero the Fomorian prophecy.]]

* DropTheHammer: wields a massive one that is [[DoubleWeapon double-sided]].

* CarryABigStick[=/=]DropTheHammer: Their primary weapon, aside from the archers. Black Scar and [[TheDragon Rampage]] have an axe, however.

* DropTheHammer: Their weapon of choice.
** GoodOldFisticuffs: They're also quite good at hand-to-hand combat. Unsurprising, given their size and strength.

* TheDarkChick: Of the Fomors, being the most openly emotional (if only because they tend towards cowardice or insanity).
** TheEvilGenius: They also tend towards this, due to their potion-brewing activities in the upper area of Hoarfrost, and their tendencies to use dirty tricks to their advantage.

The eighth character, a young girl who wields a [[BladeOnAStick glaive]]. Her combat style involves dancing around enemy attacks and marking her targets with her Swift Assassin debuffs, which she can detonate as a very powerful attack.

BladeOnAStick: His primary weapon is a Swordspear.
