Who is Gale?

Gale is the team's mission captain. Being a human, Gale's body has a difficult time harnessing mana naturally. In an effort to be more useful than "just a human", she became highly skilled in the art of magic technology, and has built various useful weapons and gadgets.

Since Gale's equipment is somewhat fragile, she has adapted her combat style to work at long range. She doesn't have raw strength or time stopping tricks, so Gale uses her strategic knowledge to exploit her target's weak points.


Shot Type: Spread Shot

Gale's normal shot is a wide spread of rapid-fire projectiles, letting her hit multiple targets from a distance. These projectiles aren't as powerful as Casey's fireballs, but they are much faster, and cover a wider area.


Spell Ability: Critical Strike

Gale's spell ability targets the first target directly in front of her. When the spell is released, the target will be hit with a blast of concentrated mana energy. If the target is hit while they are vulnerable, (while they are flashing green) the hit will become a critical hit, and deal massive damage.


Ultimate Spell: Guided Burst

Gale's ultimate ability summons a massive targeting reticle, which she can move around freely. Once the reticle is positioned, Gale can activate it, creating a massive burst of mana energy, good for clearing crowds of small enemies. The properties of Critical Strike still apply, as targeting a vulnerable enemy will make the blast more powerful.
