History Characters / EtrianOdysseyNexus

* StoneWall: Solid defensive stats and access to heavy armor makes them reasonably tanky, but this heavy armor and a low Agility stat impairs turn speed. Their Order skills need sufficient investment to have an action speed bonus so they can apply it before the party attacks.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Despite her earlier claims of not wanting to rely too heavily on information about the original Yggdrasil forests, she sends Shilleka off into the Primitive Jungle to serve as a guide to some soldiers [[ClosestThingWeGot due to her slight knowledge of the original area]]. [[MustMakeAmends She sends you in after her]], realizing how utterly stupid that decision was.

Shilleka is a shopkeeper from Etria who seems to have taken up adventuring as of late.

* TookALevelInBadass: She seems to have traded in shopkeeping for adventuring.

* LimitBreak: Undying Soul, which allows the Vampire to endure any damage they receive for three turns, and Ghastly March, which revives all fallen allies and deals two ranged Almighty attacks plus one for each revived ally to a single enemy. Only characters equipped with the Blood-Red Demon Eyes item can use these.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Equipping the Blood-Red Demon Eyes changes your character's eyes to red.

* UncannyValley: InUniverse. The first time you head into any facility other than the HQ with a Vampire the NPC there will speak up about them. Napier and Kvasir chalk it up to your Vampire looking ''really'' tired. Muller and Merlin are utterly terrified by them, though Muller can't quite place ''why'' because there's no way they're the inhuman monstrosity he's sensing.

!!Muller
Muller is a calm and sometimes stern member of the Maginian army and leads the adventurers' guild.

!!Napier

!!Brigitte
Brigitte is a novice adventurer who gets involved with the party in the early stages of the game.

* NoSell: The Force Break is Perfect Defense, identical to that from ''The Fafnir Knight'', which turns the party completely invulnerable for the turn. Their elemental Walls return, which lets them negate attacks of particular elements for a turn.

* ShoutOut: Much like in ''The Fafnir Knight'', their Force Boost and Break are essentially veiled references to ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter''.

* DoubleTap: Emulated with their Force Boost, Action Boost. This causes a Gunner to execute their skills twice in a turn, with the second attack being a fair bit weaker than the first.

* JackOfAllTrades: They have access to the ability to bind enemies, heal allies in a pinch, strike different enemy formations and access elemental damage. The last of these is only available at the end of their skill tree, unlike in previous games.

* StatusBuffDispel: Some of their skills involve willingly dispelling buffs from the party for an effect, like a temporary attack boost or a burst of healing. Their usual offensive version of this, Ad Nihilo, has unfortunately been left out this time around.

* NoSell: Their Prophecy skills, like the Protector's Walls, can negate one enemy attack of the corresponding attribute for the turn. It gives them a temporary attack buff if an attack is prevented this way.

* ItemCaddy: Their Force Break allows them to use the effects of an in-battle consumable twice.

** With the English release the exact method of unlocking has come into question, as only hacking or streetpassing have been confirmed ways to get it onto the team, leading to speculation that the event trigger was either broken in localization or there has always been some additional hidden triggers like the Kings Grimoires of ''Untold'' that simply has not been figured out yet.

* LimitBreak: Immortal Flesh, which allows the Vampire to endure any damage they receive for three turns, and March of the Dead, which revives all fallen allies and deals two ranged Almighty attacks plus one for each revived ally. Only characters equipped with the Blood-Red Demon Eyes item can use these.

* CombatExclusiveHealing: Until the party finds her dog, she travels with them. She provides healing at the end of each battle, but can't do much in quiet times.

* DrawAggro: Provoke serves this function, and Pre-Provoke lets that skill be used right at the start of a battle.

* TakingTheBullet: If Provoke is not sufficient on its own, Ally Shield lets them take all hits for a party member with reduced damage. Line Shield does the same for a whole line.

* CompositeCharacter: While they're using the original Medics' designs, the vast majority of their skills come from their ''Legends of the Titan'' redesign. Their new Deja Vu skill allows them to temporarily replicate War Magi's repeating heal trait, while Group Therapy has been reworked to be more in line with Botanists' Shared Nostrum.

* OneHitKill: Can learn a skill that lets their normal attacks instantly kill their targets.

* FireIceLightning: The game's primary source of elemental damage. Their Force Break, Astral Sign, is an attack that combines all three elements at once.

* SupportPartyMember: Harbingers' Miasma skills are used to debuff opponents or to defend allies.

* JackOfAllTrades: Their skill tree allows them to ably attack, defend, or heal.

Brigitte is a novice adventurer.

!!Protector
Protectors are knights who shield their allies from harm with their heavy armor and shields.

* HighlyVisibleNinja: Some of them dress in pretty brightly-colored clothing.

* GuideDangIt: The process of unlocking the hidden event for them requires meeting five of seven unstated requirements. Collect 100 Guild Cards, collect a Guild Card with a Vampire on it, play for 100 hours, play on Heroic difficulty, have at least one of each true class in your guild, reach the postgame, and generate a QR code of your own Guild Card.

* CombatMedic: They possess a good deal of healing skills (albeit not as strong as the Medic's) with sufficient physical firepower for the front lines if ailments are being thrown around.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Vampires are the first incomplete class in the series, existing only as an effect of a special accessory that modifies the main class. Characters that become Vampires have their Force abilities replaced, gain passive skills to regenerate or lose health based on the time of day, and have their stats increased.

!!Quasil
Quasil operates his own tavern in town and has a penchant for telling tall tales.

* LifeDrain: Their Force Boost, Hero Battle, lets them heal the entire party when they damage enemies.

* Combos: Their Link skills form a significant portion of their skill set. After striking an enemy with the Link skill, any ally that attacks that same enemy triggers a follow-up hit. This time, their Link follow-ups can also land {{Critical Hit}}s, and Link Finale serves as a finisher after a long chain of follow-ups.

* MightyGlacier: Imperials have the third highest HP and second highest Strength and Vitality in the entire game. To compensate, the have the worst Agility out of every class.

* Combos: Their entire binding skill tree has skills that interact with each other. One-Two Punch attempts to use all three binding skills to fully bind an enemy in one fell swoop, while Leading Blow launches a combo of attacks on a bound or ailing enemy.

* CombatMedic: With the right subclass, Medics can double as good attackers in situations where they're not healing the party.

* ActionInitiative: Their Force Boost, Illusion Step, raises the entire party's action speed and evasion. Their Force Break, Mirage Arrow, is an inverse of this, doing damage to an enemy and applying a debuff to reduce its action speed and accuracy.

* {{Nerf}}: Their [[GameBreaker abnormally powerful]] Barrier now can only activate up to 3 times, meaning it can no longer defend the entire party.

* DrawAggro: Their Force Break raises the chance of them being targeted along with their evasion rate for 3 turns.

* CapeSwish: Emulated with their Shadow Cloak skill. Now with more skills that synergize with it.

* KnifeNut: They employ throwing knives to attack from afar.

* {{BFS}}: Their Drive Blades are enormous.

* LimitBreak: Ignition has been reworked into this as their Force Boost, preventing Overheating for three turns. Their Force Break, Conversion, greatly restores TP and allows them to surpass their normal TP limits.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Pugilists fight hand-to-hand.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Their Million Lash passive lets their normal attacks hit 2 to 4 times if they're equipping two weapons.

* TokenNonHuman: As Vessels, Arcanists are the only playable non-human characters in the roster.

* HealingFactor: During the night, they regenerate 5% of their HP every turn.

* StatusBuffDispel: Some of their skills involve willingly dispelling buffs from the party for an effect, like a temporary attack boost or a burst of healing.

* {{Overheating}}: Their signature Drive Blades can overheat when unleashing attacks and require time to cool down.

MightyGlacier: Imperials have the third highest HP and second highest Strength and Vitality in the entire game. To compensate, the have the worst Agility out of every class.
