Vigilante is a close-ranged rushdown character with quality offensive tools at his disposal in exchange for his lack of defensive options. Additionally, he possesses the ability to inflict the unique status effect Bleed that deals damage upon being hit by his opponent. Vigilante acquires more tools within his moveset as the battle progresses and his EMO Level increases, eventually snowballing him into a greater formidable foe, even more so if he is equipped with the right Abnormality Cards.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Fast paced: As a rushdown character, Vigilante excels in closing the gap between him and his opponent via his nimble mobility, as well as his swift, range-extended melee attacks. Strings: Vigilante has access to strings from his ATK that allow him to extend his combos for a very long time while still applying bleed and tenderize. At Emo 3 this is further exemplified by his ability to use Flux for a lot of his moves and having access to his full strings. High damage from Bleed : Bleed becomes a secondary type of damage. The status effect becomes lethal as it is easily stacked subsequent each combo. Furthermore, Bleed mechanism causes combo-reliant characters to suffer from their own attacks. Great pokes: Vigilante is able to safely do subtle damage and apply Bleed moving in and perform a free combo that costs 1 Light which can be recovered after turn ends, then return to neutral. Very strong end game: Upon reaching EMO Level II and III, Vigilante gains access to Sky Clearing Cut and Boost Mode respectively. The former enhances S2 scaling with Bleed . The latter increases his mobility and reduces Light Cost for his moves.

No blocks or evades: Has only one evasive option that is accessible at EMO Level I. Said evasive option also requires set up and the cost of his most valuable approaching tool, which is frail towards the opponent's usual fast offense. Limited by Emotion level: Vigilante's moveset is limited during EMO Level 0 and I, so he loses out on a lot of his flashy combos and most of Flux. It's significantly harder to win if his EMO Level stays at below II throughout the entire round. Ping dependant: Combos are much more volatile if your opponent has high ping.
