Talents[edit]

Beacon's Wrath
Elite 1
When this unit's skill is active, Drones have a 10% chance to self-destruct when attacking (and then return to the Operator), dealing 200% of Goldenglow's ATK as Arts damage to enemies in a small area
Elite 1
Potential 3
When this unit's skill is active, Drones have a 10% chance to self-destruct when attacking (and then return to the Operator), dealing 215% (+15%) of Goldenglow's ATK as Arts damage to enemies in a small area
Elite 2
When this unit's skill is active, Drones have a 10% chance to self-destruct when attacking (and then return to the Operator), dealing 300% of Goldenglow's ATK as Arts damage to enemies in a small area
Elite 2
Potential 3
When this unit's skill is active, Drones have a 10% chance to self-destruct when attacking (and then return to the Operator), dealing 315% (+15%) of Goldenglow's ATK as Arts damage to enemies in a small area
Additional information
The Drones' self-destruction actually uses pseudo-random distribution to determine the proc chance and has a radius of 1.1 tiles, but neither influences nor affected by Goldenglow's trait.
  • Details
    Initially the Drone has a 1.5% chance to self-destruct, which increases by 1.5% in each attack if the self-destruction does not trigger, up to 60% (after 40 attacks). If by this point the Drone's self-destruction is not triggered, it will be guaranteed to self-destruct on the next attack, after which the self-destruction chance resets to the initial 1.5%.

Precise Redirection
Elite 2
Goldenglow and her Drones' attacks ignore 15 RES
Elite 2
Potential 6
Goldenglow and her Drones' attacks ignore 18 (+3) RES

Description
It's late at night, and Susie's still flipping through her textbook. She has Originium Arts Theory tomorrow, and this is her final chance to review. Her workbook lays open to the side, strewn with soundly proofed notes of all the bits she had no idea of (or the wrong idea).
It's time you slept... Her falling eyelids give her a nudge.
And so, just before going to bed, she stuffs everything she needs for the exam tomorrow in her bag, peeks over her shoulder, and flips her daily scheduler open. What she'll be up to each day, sorted neat and tidily in here—a habit she picked up from working at Quercus's. Procurement, punctual opening and closing, running inventory, cleaning the shop... With so much to do—none of it trivial—on top of frequent and ever-urgent surprises, having everything she needed written out gave her no small relief.
Her schedule for tomorrow runs as follows:
Morning
(7:30-9:30) Exam time!
(9:30-10:30) TA for Intro to Originium Arts Theory
Noon
(12:00-13:00) Help out at hairdressers
Afternoon
(14:00-16:00) Practice a bit at training grounds/tidy up plant nursery for Lena (ask first, might not be today)
(17:00-18:00) Help out at hairdressers
(18:00-21:00) Help out at bar
(21:00-22:00) Reading break
Susie stares and thinks. After a moment, she shortens her shift at the bar and adds a new item below it:
(20:00-?) Have a talk with Theory tutor about future
With how responsible Rhodes Island's tutors and operators all are, she's not one bit worried she'll fail the exam. But as for what's in store for her from now on? That's definitely a conversation her tutor can help with.
These days, she's gotten the static that once exploded out of her a little under control, and—though hardly anyone notices—she's already started using little tricks from her casting course in her hairdressing. A tactical dab of electrical charge here and there for even swifter, cleaner haircuts.
And all, so that one day—
Susie leafs forward through the scheduler a little, and stops. Out in the midst of all these untouched pages, there's one event, a single note that's been written long, long in advance:
Send money to Mum
Mum keeps telling her she doesn't need to do anything of the sort, but she can't help wanting to send something back home. And this is about when Mum'd always send her money too—somehow, it's become their unofficial way of letting each other know they're still well.
Susie flips the scheduler back to tomorrow, and gives the freshly filled-in cells a few strokes of her fingers.
She's a grounded person. She knows that whatever far-flung future she's imagining, it's not her life in the here and now. She likes to give each book a proper read, do each job well, catch each opportunity when it comes. Imagination's a volatile thing, after all... Still, her current everyday, her life aboard Rhodes Island, is one that so clearly rewards her for her efforts, and isn't that precisely what she's wanted all along?
So she corrects that item a little:
(20:00-?) Have a talk with Theory tutor about upcoming course
That's what she should be asking.
Time to turn in now... Her heavy eyes tug at her lids, desperate to pull down the shutters.
So she heeds, puts away the scheduler, turns off the lights, and tries to calm her nervously fluttering heart. She'll get good marks tomorrow. It's in her power.
Tomorrow's still a busy day, and tomorrow will reward her for it.
......
Susie falls into deep, warm, contented slumber.

Description
This is a Feline girl's dream, and dreams aren't always sunshine and rainbows.
The neon sign of the Glitter family's shop is as dim as her father's face was in his final days. The embers of the Green Spark blind her eyes. Wind cuts through the abandoned building. There's no Quercus or Red, no one she knows at all... "Why did I want to become a hairdresser?" she murmurs.
No dream lasts forever. Sooner or later, you wake up.
Susie supports herself against the edge of the table and lets out a deep yawn, her drooping ears twitching slightly. She rubs her eyes, bringing the notebook in front of her into focus. Its cover is still new, but its pages are already worn. The pages inside are covered with sticky notes full of sketches, and somewhere in the middle sits an Originium Arts exam report card.
From the moment Susie learned to control static electricity, the Rhodes Island salon's reputation began to shine. There are a handful of operators who rush to the salon each time they return from the field, eager to get their hair done with Susie's latest methods. Without a single hair clip, she can easily part her clients' hair for precision work, leaving onlookers clicking their tongues in amazement. Clients with thin, limp hair call her a lifesaver. With her method, even perms are worry-free. Every detail can be adjusted instantly until the customer is satisfied.
But there are still some Infected aboard Rhodes Island who avoid the salon and only observe it from a distance. Originium crystals gnaw at their foreheads and cheeks. Once, Susie worked a gorgeous braid into the hair of a girl her own age, only for the gleam of black crystal to peek through the strands. The sight of that brought the girl to tears. She pulled her hood over her head and hurried away.
No one should have to live in such misery. Susie yearns for every Infected to take the first step by tending to their hair, and from there to hold fast to the belief that they too are worthy of a life as bright and beautiful as anyone else's. Yet the beauty she works so hard to create is, for some, a piercing reminder of their pain.
"Why does my dream feel more like a nightmare..."
When did I start wanting to be a hairdresser? Filled with childhood innocence, I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps. I've kept going thanks to the encouragement of my mother, my siblings, and my friends in Caladon. But, aside from their care and affection, what good has this dream really brought me?
Tears hang from her long lashes. The ink on the page has blurred into smudges. Susie bites her lip and resumes sketching with her pen. There must be a way to fulfill everyone's hopes. Maybe I can turn the Originium crystals under their hair into a kind of ornament, or just create hairstyles that hide their "flaws" while still looking beautiful.
She's no stronger than anyone else; she just refuses to yield to her circumstances.
"Or even if nearly every inch of their scalp is covered by a hood, I'll make them a hairstyle people can still see. Then they'll understand just how important it is to take care of themselves!"
But you can't know for sure how a hairstyle will turn out without trying it a few times first... Maybe I should visit the Doctor tomorrow. If anyone has experience with hoods, it's the Doctor.
Susie closes her notebook and nods solemnly.
