Vayne is a mostly melee attacker (magic EX) that can frequently inflict breaks, frequently buffs, and does not debuff at all... wtf is that E slot...
How-to-Play Notes
These notes are thanks to the work of Renki#4255, who proactively wrote these notes, allowing Ink to edit & add them here.TLDR: Vayne uses many turns in a row so he can very easily blow through buffs and his own BT aura. The + versions of his attacks are all free skill uses and free & instant turn (besides LD) however they do not increase stacks or duration of Conqueror’s Power. If using Vayne’s BT, he is best paired with a turn hog to take advantage of his strong follow up from his BT Aura.
Conqueror’s Power is Vayne’s signature buff. This provides a small buff in stats for him and the party but more importantly at 3 stacks gives Vayne his + skills. Using his + skills allows Vayne to take multiple turns in a row to deal solid damage.
Mach Wave is a simple attack that increases his Conqueror’s Power stacks by 2.
Force of Will is a stronger attack that also unBreaks the opponent after the first HP attack allowing for a single target delay. Force of Will also increases Conqueror’s Power by 1 stack and gives Vayne his Consul’s Ingenuity buff.
Tree of Sephira unBreaks all enemies before attacking, allowing Vayne to delay all enemies. It also maxes his stacks of Conqueror’s Power and refunds 1 use of Mach Wave and Force of Will. Do not use + version of Tree of Sephira unless BT effect is active. Tree of Sephira should be used to maximize his stacks of Conqueror’s Power and being + means you are gaining nothing.
Contempt is a very strong BRV shaver that gives Vayne max stacks of Conqueror’s Power and his Contempt buff. Contempt provides numerous important stat buffs to Vayne and the party.
Gigaflare Sword’s Burst Aura provides decent stat buffs to the party but also gives Vayne a very strong follow up on all party attacks for 10T, dramatically increasing Vayne’s damage over time.
Vayne's follow-up won't trigger from breaks inflicted by traps, counters
