Vindicta is a mobile and powerful marksman, engaging and picking off her targets from a distance. Using her Crow Familiar to initiate fights by bleeding her targets, Vindicta may launch into Flight to keep her distance from enemies and tether them with a Stake in the ground while targeting them with her powerful rifle. Enemies that are near-death should fear her ability to Assassinate at long-range with a devastating sniper shot.

A witch who was killed by John Hathorne during the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s, Vindicta returned to this world during the first Maelstrom. Seeking to protect her fellow supernatural entities, Vindicta is waging a war against the Neo-inquisitorial "Friends of Humanity".

Trivia

• Vindicta is referred to as "Hornet" in the game files, which was likely an initial placeholder name.
• Vindicta says she was a child during the Salem Witch Trials, as found in one of her hero select lines. This relates to the actual Salem Witch Trials as many of the girls were young, ranging from ages 9 to 20.
• John Hathorne, who's mentioned in Vindicta's background, was known in the actual Salem Witch Trials for questioning accusers and the accused in trial, often leaving the accused guilty.
• Vindicta will occasionally hum the song "Simple Gifts" after getting a kill. This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
• Vindicta and McGinnis are currently tied for the lowest base Stamina of any hero at 2.
