Dear Lancers:

New Content
Lancer
Calamity
A killing machine manufactured by Kepler Corporation, Calamity excels at stealth assassinations and sustained combat. A ratio of all damage dealt by Calamity is converted into [Bloodbane] and stored, and at max, she gains a powerful buff. In the face of danger, Calamity can use [Sympathy for the Devil], allowing her to consume stored [Bloodbane] to heal herself. She can also consume HP and use [Angel of Death] to become briefly invincible and pass through hazardous areas. [Barbed Wire Kisses] places a thorny thicket that slows the enemy's attack. Watch your back, and don't let her catch you alone!
