//Vandal — Class

Vandals are disruptors: they break formations, stun or interrupt synergies, and create windows for burst follow-ups.

▸Role

▸Tactics & Synergy

Vandals excel at creating friction. By interrupting key enemy channels and displacing grouped defenders, they create perfect entry points for Lancers and Assassins. A well-timed Vandal ultimate can effectively reset a lost engagement or force an early retreat from an objective.

▸Design Notes

• ▪Sharpness: Tools should feel sharp and decisive; reward well-timed interrupts (Dishonored + Warframe inspirations).
• ▪Chaos: Visual and audio cues should lean into "glitch" or "impact" aesthetics to emphasize the disruption of enemy flow.

▸Typical Abilities (design template)

• ▪Passive — Reactive Pulse: successful interrupts briefly increase movement speed and ability recharge.
• ▪Tactical (1) — Disruption Bolt: a fast projectile that stuns and interrupts channeling abilities.
• ▪Core (2) — Chaos Blast: a burst of energy that displaces nearby enemies and applies a short-duration debuff.
• ▪Special (3) — System Breach: temporarily disables enemy gadgets and shields in an area.
• ▪Ultimate (4) — Grand Vandalism: a massive burst of disruptive energy that clears all enemy statuses and interrupts all abilities in a giant radius.

▸Synergies & Counters

• ▪Synergies: Assassin (flanking setup), Lancer (momentum follow-up), Destroyer (opening creation).
• ▪Counters: Bulwark (absorbs interrupts), Sentinel (defensive buffs), Triage (cleanses debuffs).
