Story
Allow me to fill in for Eva and introduce her. This is Sterope Refleclight, one of Sacreed's 12 disciples and the Disciple of Lightning.
She was raised by fiends for a time after losing her family to war, and it looks like she's been through a lot undergoing corrections because of that.
She was then sent to a Sacreed orphanage where she met the archbishop.
One day, she crossed paths with an archdemon and, realizing her weakness, implanted a piece of the Scientific Inheritance in her arm.
Because of this, she experiences a level of pain greater than what most humans can endure. She must possess quite a formidable force of will.

Skill Upgrade Priority
Skill up rule of thumb:
- Level 2 for Weakness Gauge damage
- Effect chance, effect duration & cooldown reductions.
- Damage increases (DPS only)
Chain passive can be left at level 2 until much later, the Weakness Gauge damage increase at level 5 is the only interesting part, so you can save skill manuals here until the more important skills are taken care of.
