Mysterious Thief: Counterfeit

Counterfeit

As a thief from a lower-class background, Counterfeit has honed extraordinary special abilities on the streets, excelling in reconnaissance and area disruption. Counterfeit can use "Thieves Like Us" to create a perfect mirage of herself to deceive enemies. She can also utilize "Shadowplay" to become temporarily invulnerable, allowing her to easily traverse dangerous areas. Meanwhile, "Boom Boom" can catch unsuspecting enemies off guard, injuring and stunning them. Don't be fooled by her mirages!
