Strong VS[ | ]
Most characters start with a "Strong VS X" trait - it gives them a significant advantage when fighting against a certain type of enemy or condition. It is possible that a character doesn't have any, but up to 2 can be learned when doing a mission to rescue a weaponmaster. If successful, your partymembers with the associated weapon will gain a new random Strong VS trait.
Minimum unlock level for any Strong VS is level 3.
