Hailing from a family of Victorian detectives, Metis Geraldine was a rookie yet intrepid private detective who will never back down to solve a case, courtesy of her upbringing where she was exposed to her family's reputation and aspired to follow their footsteps. After solving a murder case with the help from Heidi Thompson, Metis went on great lengths to find out every nook and cranny about Emperor, which brings her into Rhodes Island who was partnering with Penguin Logistics at the time, claiming to be a "Royal Detective". Thanks to valuable misleading information from P.L. staff including Exusiai and Croissant, May concluded that P.L. is an idol group that provides delivery services in its spare time, especially apple pie distribution... yeah, right. Still, R.I. decides to keep Metis under their wing with the codename "May" because her inquisitive and dedicated nature, and surprisingly good marksmanship makes her a valuable asset.
Gameplay
May is a 4★ Marksman Sniper who specializes in DPS and Slow. As a Marksman Sniper, May has an attack range of 3×3 tiles with a 1-tile extension up front which is improved to 3×4 tiles at Elite 1, targets aerial enemies over ground ones, and has good ATK, low attack interval, decent HP and DEF, and low DP cost relative to other Snipers. However, May's DEF is notably lower than other Marksman Snipers, so she should be kept away from ranged enemies' reach.
May's skills allow her to stop her enemies dead in their tracks as both applies a slow effect similar to that of Decel Binder Supporters' attacks:
- The first skill, Paralyzing Shell, makes May's attack do more damage and slows the victim for a short time every several attacks.
- The second skill, Binding Shock, buffs May's ATK and makes her attacks briefly slow the victim with a chance to temporarily stun them instead, but increases her attack interval while active.
May's talent, Victorian Agent, slightly buffs her ATK and ASPD, which is useful for her role as a long-ranged DPS dealer.
May's MAR-X Operator Module, Novice Detective's Gift Bag, increases the damage she dealt when attacking aerial enemies to 1.1×, in addition to increasing her maximum HP and ATK; once upgraded, Victorian Agent's ATK buff is increased.
May's first base skill, Clue Search β, increases the clue search rate by 20% when she is assigned to the Reception Room, with her second base skill Royal Detective (Self Proclaimed) making Penguin Logistics clues easier to acquire the longer May is assigned to it.
Overall, May is a unique Marksman Sniper who can not only damage her enemies from long range, but also slow them down to buy time for friendlies to take them down, making her useful in situations where the player is expected to face fast-moving enemies like Hounds and Breakers.
