Forum:Vex Lamia

Lamia are small, slim, yet rather dangerous Vex units first encountered on Ganymede.

Overview
Lamia are Vex units, with a tail. Their most notable feature is their tail and feminine appearance. Lamia make their first appearance on Ganymede and can be found in various activities such Strikes, Olympian Hunts, Missions, Patrols, the Fall of Olympus raid, and the Spire Integration Public Event. Thus far, they do not seem to be findable anywhere else in the system.

Gameplay
They operate as stealth units, only needing a slap rifle, line rifle, longbow, or torch hammer. They can slither around the arena and catch most enemies by surprise.

Lamia's main and most threatening ability is their gaze being able to freeze an enemy into stone, leaving the enemy's statue vulnerable to shattering by enemy fire.

Lamia can also utilize an ability similar to Sirens, an ability known as Seduction which can inflict the debuff Charm.
