'''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.
* 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.

* Vindicta will remain scoped after firing an Assassinate shot regardless if she has a remaining charge or not.
* Vindicta can use the Crow Familiar and Stake while scoped in without scoping out. Using flight will scope her out however.

* The damage scales up from 50% to 100% after one second of being scoped.
* 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]].

== 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.
* Vindicta and [[McGinnis]] are currently tied for the lowest base Stamina of any hero at 2.
* "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]].
