"Medics!  Jade and Halley need aid!" Lexiel puts actions to her words, her aura restoring 5HP to Jade, Halley, and Solomon.  "Hit the flyers next!  They're doing the most damage!"  (The Bel Lahmu are the flyers).  However, she decides to focus on defense this round and casts Increasing Devotion again, this time calling three Soldiers (still have 1 HP and a counterattack that deals [syn] damage) to block for Jade, Halley, and Venus.

[Hal Henderics]

[IntSys]

Halley felt much better after the healing, though being that close to death was not a pleasant experience for her at all. She thanked the lovely healers that saved her, and quickly got back to business.

Action: Halley uses Blaster - Paralyzer on Bel Lahmu C, applying a status effect that lowers their STR, RES, and DEX by [SYN]/2 = 3 for three turns. [DEX]*2 = 14% chance to move first (Lightspeed Justice Delivery). [Two-turn cooldown]

Jade let out a sigh, before cracking his neck. It felt good to not be so close to death's door anymore. However, it seems now some of his allies are facing that same gate. So he aimed his gun towards the sky at the flying enemies. Height advantage means nest to nothing to a marksman.

"Keep on them!  Take those monsters down!  And anyone who has an enhancement move, hit Jade with it!" Lexiel shouts.  As her aura pulses, healing herself, Lilya, and Halley 5 HP each, she pulls a dart filled with crackling blue fluid from one of her bandoliers and casts an alarming amount of blue and red lightning into it.  Then, she throws it at Jade.  "You're powered up!  Get in there!"  Lexiel uses Fluxcharge on Jade, increasing his critical hit chance and dodge chance by 4% for each buff effect that hits him until the Fluxcharge expires in 3 rounds.  Fluxcharge counts itself as increasing the buff power, so it starts with a 4% bonus.

[Strider]

Liliya was feeling just the slightest sense of deja vu here. Twice on the same battle, and similar situations. This was going arguably better, in general, she'd been hurt similarly, and that's what she was concerned about. So, she took that peek into the future. She vividly watched the motions of everyone on the field in the next seconds, before altering her path to avoid any injury.

 

If Liliya would be attacked this turn, she'll activate her See the Future perk. If not, she'll use a basic attack on Bel Lahmu C 3d6+DEX damage, with a DEX% chance to crit for 2x damage. Damage is unholy. Her stats are increased by her overdrive perk.

See the future: Liliya has the capacity to see a few seconds into the future when she is in danger, and use that knowledge to save herself. Every 2 turns, Liliya has the option to forfeit her action in order to dodge enemy attacks. Does not dodge AOE type attacks.
Pursuit: When Liliya is unable to attack an enemy, whether through a stun or an enemy dodge or through "See the Future", her next attack will do 1.5x damage.

"Ah, hah. . . That's a bit better." Liliya panted out, before positioning herself as best she could to take a small breather, before dashing in to slice something else.

 

Liliya uses her basic attack on Bel Lahmu C. Deals 3d6+DEX unholy fire damage, with a DEX% chance to crit for double damage. Also gets boosted by 1.5x due to pursuit perk.
