'''Vindicta''' is a mobile and powerful marksman, engaging and picking off her targets from a distance. Using her Crow Familiar to initiate fights by bleeding her targets, Vindicta may launch into Flight to keep her distance from enemies and tether them with a Stake in the ground while targeting them with her powerful rifle. Enemies that are near-death should fear her ability to Assassinate at long-range with a devastating sniper shot.  
A girl who was accused of witchcraft and killed by [[John Hathorne]] during the [[wikipedia:Salem_witch_trials|Salem Witch Trials]] of the 1600s, Vindicta returned to this world during the first [[Maelstrom]]. Seeking to protect her fellow supernatural entities, Vindicta is waging a war against the Neo-inquisitorial "[[Friends of Humanity]]".

* Vindicta can melee and parry without interrupting flight, allowing her to use {{ItemIcon|Counterspell}}.
* Vindicta cannot dash during the flight due to dash hotkey (<code>SHIFT</code>) being overriden by Fly Up. Rebinding either of those allows the player to dash normally during the flight.
* When killing a target with Flight active and the T3 upgrade, flight is recast, giving Vindicta a burst of speed in the air, but no additional height.

* T3 Assassinate upgrade grants bonus weapon damage retroactively. (adds +4% Weapon Damage per individual stack already acquired upon upgrading.)
* Each use of a charge counts as a separate ultimate cast for {{ItemIcon|Lightning Scroll}}'s "once per target per ultimate" restriction. Hitting a target multiple times will apply multiple delayed stuns.
