A Middle Identity whose defense counter becomes S3 Violet~ Breaking Slam at 6 or more Envy Absolute Resonance. Her core loop is taking hits to build The Middle - Grudge, then spending them on S3 counter to develop The Middle Styled Augmentation Tattoos.
Core Mechanics
S3 from her counter: If total Envy Absolute Resonance is 6 or more at Combat Start, the Defense skill I'll Get You Back for This, Man uses S3 when countering (activating from the left-side slots of the dashboard, up to 2 times per turn). She also gains Shield equal to 25% of HP lost at Combat Start. Using S3 as a counter grants 1 Blunt DMG Up next turn.
The Middle - Grudge: Through the combat passive The Middle Never Forgets, Y'know? (3 Envy Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ), she gains 2 each time she is hit (twice per turn) and 1 when other Middle allies are hit (once per turn per Identity), up to 15. If the attacking enemy has Vengeance Mark, she gains 1 more. On turns with Envy Absolute Resonance, the gain is doubled. +20% damage against targets with Vengeance Mark.
Spending with S3: S3 gains +1 Final Power at 5 or more The Middle - Grudge (+1 per 5, up to 3, at higher Uptie). After the attack, it spends all Grudge, gaining 1 The Middle Styled Augmentation Tattoos per 5 spent (twice per turn).
The Middle Styled Augmentation Tattoos: Maximum 10. +1 Final Power for basic skills per 5 (up to 2), and +5% damage for Envy or Blunt skills per point (up to 50%). It only grows by up to 2 per turn, so it takes time to fully develop.
Thermal Blades: If she has no Thermal Blades at Combat Start and total Envy Resonance is 3 or more, she gains 2 Thermal Blades next turn. While active, some Coins of S2 Crossing Dervish and S3 also inflict Burn equal to their base Bleed value.
How to Use
Pack in Identities with Envy skills, set her Defense skill on turns when you can build 6 or more Envy Absolute Resonance, and strike with the counter S3. Spend the The Middle - Grudge built from hits on the counter S3 to turn it into Tattoos, increasing her damage as turns go on. Grudge also builds when other Middle allies are hit, so pairing her with Middle Identities speeds up the Tattoos' growth. The S3 fired from her hand is weak, so on turns without Envy Absolute Resonance, bridge the gap by restoring SP with S1 and similar.
