Trivia

Ines is a 6★ Agent Vanguard who specializes in DP-Recovery and Fast-Redeploy. As an Agent Vanguard, Ines has a shorter redeployment time of 35 seconds (31 seconds at Potential 3) instead of other Vanguards' 70–80 seconds and a range of 2 tiles ahead of her, which unlike the similar Instructor Guards, can hit flying enemies.

Talents

1. Shadow Weaver momentarily Binds the target and Steals some of their ATK until the target is defeated or Ines leaves the map when she damages an enemy for the first time (and only the first time for each enemy).
2. Shadow Sentry has Ines carry the namesake in each deployment which reveals invisible enemies within her range and reduces their movement speed, and remains when Ines leaves the map but only one Sentry can be present at a time this way. If Ines uses Solitary Return, the Sentry will be recalled towards her instead.

Skills

1. Shadow Raid causes Ines' next attack after several attacks to generate 2 DP and applies a debuff on the target which deals Arts damage equal to a portion of Ines' ATK every second for 3 seconds, which cannot be stacked; rather, the duration is refreshed.
   • Unlike most damage-over-time debuffs, Shadow Raid's do not provide defensive SP recovery to Prototypes of Feist's Metal Crab.
2. Murky Night extends Ines' range to 2×3 tiles ahead of her with a 1-tile extension up front, buffs her ATK, makes her invisible, and causes her attacks to generate 1 DP and Steal some of the target's ASPD up to a limit until the skill ends or Ines leaves the map while active.
3. Solitary Return causes Ines' first deployment (and only the first deployment) to cost 0 DP but she will be instantly retreated once deployed (which will not cause her DP cost to ramp up), although she can be instantly redeployed afterwards. From the second deployment onwards, Solitary Return buffs Ines' ATK and generates 1 DP whenever she damages an enemy with her attacks for a period of time after she is deployed, and recalls the Shadow Sentry when Ines is deployed which deals Physical damage equal to a portion of her ATK up to several enemies it comes in contact with.

Base skills

1. Personnel Management β increases the recruitment tag refresh generation rate by 35% while Ines is assigned to the HR Office.
2. Shadow Gathering increases the clue search rate by 20% which further increases by 2% every hour, up to 30%, while Ines is assigned to the Reception Room.

Summary

Ines is an excellent Agent Vanguard who cements herself as the best Vanguard in the game, not only generating DP extremely quickly in combat, but also providing solid damage output with her solid stats and skills, and a huge bucket of useful utility.
