Nemesis

Nemesis is the Type: Maiden with Calculator Arms Embryo of Ray Starling.

Appearance[]

In her Maiden form, Nemesis is a short-statured girl dressed in gothic clothing. After evolving into her fourth form, Nemesis's clothing has become somewhat more extravagant than before.

Personality[]

Nemesis is a kind-hearted girl who is determined to support Ray no matter what, though she is not afraid to lecture Ray about his shenanigans such as his obsession with gacha. She is quite proud of her abilities, often arguing with those who look down on her, and attempts to comport herself like an elegant lady. Though that image is completely shattered by her gluttonous personality.

Abilities[]

As a Type: Maiden Embryo, Nemesis is capable of independent operation, but due to her nature as Type: Arms, she can only use a limited number of skills on her own.

Nemesis can also sense the location of individuals that have done damage to her and Ray to a certain degree. She can also transform her arms into a sword and even adjust her Forms somewhat to be easily held by Ray even when injured.

At her 1st Form, she gives Ray a status correction of D on HP, G on MP, DEX, AGI, and LUC, F on SP and STR, and E on END.

Becoming a Type: Calculator with her 5th Form, Nemesis obtains the category for a Type: Arms Embryo whose functionality focuses on calculation ability.

Skills and Forms[]

Black Blade (黒大剣): Nemesis' first form. It takes the shape of a long black Western greatsword and releases a black aura from the hilt that wraps up Ray's arm.

• Counter Absorption (カウンター・アブソープション): An active skill that creates a barrier of light which can absorb attacks. Currently, at level 4, the barrier can absorb up to 500,000 points of damage. The skill has a maximum of 4 uses, and the stock recovers by 1 every day. This skill can only be used in the first form or the third form, or by Nemesis in her Maiden form.
• Vengeance is Mine (復讐するは我にありヴェンジェンス・イズ・マイン): Nemesis' signature ability. It takes all the damage Ray received from a target within 24 hours (including damage negated by items like a Lifesaving Brooch or skills like Counter Absorption) and deals double that value as direct damage to the target. After this skill is used on a target, that target's damage counter for the day is reset to 0. As the direct damage it deals are based on the damage counter done by a target to Ray, unlike normal direct damage, it won't propagate anywhere beyond the target and what they're equipped with.

Flag Halberd (黒旗斧槍): Nemesis' second form. It takes the shape of a halberd with a stream of energy like a flag flowing from the opposite end.

• Reverse as Flag (逆転は翻る旗の如くリバース・アズ・フラッグ, J-Novel Club: "Like a Flag Flying the Reversal"): A buff type skill that reverses the effects of any debuffs cast on Ray. For example, a debuff that reduces Ray's HP would instead increase it. However, some unique kinds of debuffs would instead just stop rather than reverse. The skill costs 1 SP every second and will deactivate either when he runs out of SP or the opponent that inflicted the debuff has died. Nemesis obtained this skill when she evolved to her second form via the *** function in response to Ray's desire to defeat Gardranda. The skill can only be used with the Flag Halberd form.

Black Shield (黒円盾): The “α” version of Nemesis' third form. It takes the shape of a large round black shield. Its front had silver lines and curves forming a five-sided pattern. Counter Absorption can be used in this form.

Shooting Wheel (流星風車): The “β” version of Nemesis' third form. It takes the shape of a large pinwheel with metallic edges.

• Payback Over Star (応報は星の彼方へペイバック・オーヴァー・スター J-Novel Club: "Payback Beyond the Stars"): The Shooting Wheel is launched at a target that has dealt damage to Ray within 24 hours and takes the damage Ray received (including damage negated by items like a Lifesaving Brooch or skills like Counter Absorption) and deals triple that value as direct damage to the target. The Shooting Wheel will automatically home in on the target and follow it, with the speed and maximum possible distance equal to one-tenth of the total amount of damage on the target's damage counter. This skill takes 1 minute to charge and can only be used once a day.

Black Mirror (黒翼水鏡): Nemesis' fourth form. It takes the shape of an ornate winged mirror that floats behind Ray. The wings are detachable short swords which can use Vengeance is Mine. Each sword can only apply half the maximum damage of Vengeance is Mine.

• Chaser from Mirroring (追撃者は水鏡より来たるチェイサー・フロム・ミラーリング, J-Novel Club: "Chaser from the Mirror"): A buff type skill that increases up to two of Ray's stats to match the corresponding stats of a target that has dealt damage to Ray within 24 hours (including damage negated by items like a Lifesaving Brooch or skills like Counter Absorption). This skill only mirrors the stats at the time of activation and if the targets' stats changes while this skill is active, Ray's stats will change too. The stats affected by this skill cannot be increased by any other effects or skills. As the cost, subtract the value of the mirrored stats from the value of the target's damage counter every minute. When this is no longer possible, the skill is deactivated.

Black Recorder (黒業神剣): Nemesis' fifth form. It takes the shape of a long black Western greatsword, similar to the 1st Form Black Blade. It has four teardrop shaped orbs and a long ribbon attached to the hilt. As an enhanced form of the Black Blade, the signature skill Vengeance is Mine is available in this form.

• The Goddess is not in Heaven, but is Wielding the Sword Beside Us- Nemesis (女神は天に在らず、我等の傍らで剣を執るネメシス): Nemesis' ultimate skill. An active skill that requires Ray to physically touch the target with the Black Recorder and declare that they have been targeted. Nemesis will then calculate all the damage the target has dealt to living beings other than Ray within the last 24 hours and engrave that onto the recording ribbon on the hilt. Once this process is complete, Ray activates the ultimate skill which adds the engraved damage to the target's damage counter. If the total value of the damage is less than 500,000, one stock of Counter Absorption will be used and if the value exceeds 500,000, one of the teardrop shaped orbs on the hilt will shatter and the maximum stock of Counter Absorption will be reduced permanently until Ray's next death penalty. If this skill is used when Ray's Counter Absorption stock is at zero, Ray will receive damage equal to the total value of the target's damage counter.

Trivia[]

• She is based on the Greek goddess, Nemesis, who personifies retribution for the sin of hubris: arrogance before the gods. This goddess has evolved into an icon of justice, court and vengeance.
