'''Vindicta''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She is a mobile and powerful marksman, engaging and picking off her targets from a distance. Using her '''[[Vindicta#Crow Familiar|Crow Familiar]]''' to initiate fights by bleeding her targets, Vindicta may launch into '''[[Vindicta#Flight|Flight]]''' to keep her distance from enemies and tether them with a '''[[Vindicta#Stake|Stake]]''' in the ground while targeting them with her powerful rifle.

This means that it will increase her ammo capacity by the same amount every time and will not affect other sources of Ammo increase such as '''[[Titanic Magazine]]'''.
* 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.
* The T1 upgrade does ''NOT'' increase Vindicta's total Ammo capacity by 50%, it only increases her Ammo capacity by 50% of her base Ammo. This means that it will increase her ammo capacity by the same amount every time and will not affect other sources of Ammo increase such as {{ItemIcon|Titanic Magazine}}.

* If a target dies within 4 seconds after being hit with Assassinate, Vindicta will still get the bonus weapon damage stack.
* 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.
* Assassinate isn't affected by [[Disarm]].

{{Quotation||'''A FATE'S TALE:'''
=== Ability Changes ===
<!--For fresh data see [[Deadlock:Street Brawl Ability Changes]] -->
Apart from [[Street Brawl#Heroes|global changes]], Vindicta does '''not''' have any special modifications for her abilities in Street Brawl.
=== Item Draft ===
{{HeroStreetBrawlItems|Vindicta}}


A victim of John Hathorne during the Salem Witch Trials, Vindicta got a second chance of life when her spirit was brought back to the mortal plane during the first Maelstrom (the event that introduced the supernatural to the public at large).
== Backstory ==
 
{{Fates_Tale|hornet}}
Waging a one ghost war against the "The Friends of Humanity", a neo inquisition formed by Hawthorne's descendants; Vindicta looks to keep the supernatural safe from Hathorne’s ilk, and she isn't afraid to stack as many bodies as needed to do it.}}

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* Vindicta is referred to as "Hornet" in the game files, which was likely an initial placeholder name.
* Vindicta was named '''Hornet''' in ''[[Neon Prime]]''.
* Vindicta says she was a child during the Salem Witch Trials, as found in one of her hero select lines. This relates to the actual Salem Witch Trials as many of the girls were young, ranging from ages 9 to 20.<ref>[https://www.history.com/news/salem-witch-trials-accusers Salem Witch Trials: Who Were the Main Accusers?] on [https://www.history.com/ History.com]</ref>
** Hornet was voiced by Jeannie Tirado, who also voices [[Ivy]].
* [[wikipedia:John_Hathorne|John Hathorne]], who's mentioned in Vindicta's background, was known in the actual Salem Witch Trials for questioning accusers and the accused in trial, often leaving the accused guilty.
* Vindicta's current model was designed by artist [[Evgeniy Evstrastiy]].<ref>{{YouTubeCite|video=vl3F5IMLP_o&t=4051|title=Evgeniy Evstrastiy Interview (1:07:30)}} (in Russian)</ref>
* Vindicta will occasionally hum the song "Simple Gifts" after getting a kill. This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
* Vindicta will occasionally hum the song ''[[wikipedia:Simple_Gifts|Simple Gifts]]'' after using a shot of her ultimate.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Vindicta|file=vindicta_use_power4_04.mp3|transcription=humming 'Simple Gifts'}}</ref> This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
* "Brooding in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Vindicta in the [[Hideout]].
** She shares this status with [[Victor]].
