Mindscape Cinema for Soldier 11

- The ability Rapid Heat (MC1) will activate if Soldier 11’s Energy is below 40 upon entering combat or switching in, causing it to instantly replenish to 80. This effect can only occur once every 50 seconds.

- In MC3, the Elite Soldier has increased levels in Chain Attack, Special Attack, Dodge, Assist, and Basic Attack by +2.
- The skill Indulgent Blaze (MC4) allows Soldier 11 to trigger Fire Suppression during her first, second, or third Basic Attack or Dash Attack. This increases her Anti-Interrupt level and reduces the damage she takes by 18 percent. If Fire Suppression is triggered during the fourth hit of her Basic Attack, Soldier 11 becomes invulnerable during the skill activation.
