Chaos
Bureau of Anomaly Control, ETD-4
Top on-field Lakshana DPS with Crime Charge / Warrant amp that buffs the whole team’s damage to marked targets. Strong pull if you lack a Lakshana carry.
Chaos is an S-Rank Lakshana DPS who mixes scythe and gun with a fog-hound companion. Crime Charge ramps personal damage; Warrant marks a target so the team hits harder.
