Chime

Chime is a secret character in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita associated with the story Rhythm of Red. She is the predecessor of Nelo, tasked with the role of a cleaner. Unlike Nelo, a flawed Red eye who cannot hold onto any memory of the reality he destroyed, Chime retains all of the memories from all of her actions. She is responsible for executing Red eyes who have failed their purpose and retrieve their mementos for their revival at another time, as well as triggering the reality-collapse of the world she [currently] exists in should the situation needed. In comparison to Nelo's work, who simply hollows a world, Chime can permanently eject a world out of existence, causing the reality to have absolutely nothing, thus she is rarely awakened. Despite her cold appearance might suggest, she is intensely loyal to the Red eyes, and is one of the few who wholly accepts Nelo's flawed existence.

Chime can be fought only by clearing the alt-difficulty of Nelo Must Die, where the player character must have used no Continues and defeat IN-Nelo with an Ex Burst for her to appear. Defeating her allows her to be playable. Losing to her still counts as defeated IN-Nelo, however.

Appearance
Chime appears as a young woman with a gloomy demeanor. She shares the usual traits of the Red eyes with Nelo: red eyes, pale skin and discolored hair tone. Her attire consists of a black sleeveless vest with matching opera gloves and a long violet skirt.

Battle
 Chime  Distortion Blade – Cut what you will.

Wielding a purified version of Distortion Blade (manifesting on her sword), Chime is a terrifying individual in battle. She has the heightened stats of Nelo, and all of her attacks that involves her blade have absolute priority that can cut and destroy anything; right down to enemy projectiles, space-distances, invincibility frames, and even the HUD of an opponent. Every slash itself leaves a faint black line for 1 second, which will deal additional BRV damage to the opponent coming in contact with it, and cannot be blocked/avoided. After any attack that involves her blade, Chime will invariably enter a long animation of sheathing it (which can be cancelled into any other action). Pressing 'R' the moment her blade sheathes completely will cause her to perform Reverb, releasing a loud, disorienting ringing sound that destroys and disables all buffs/support effects of the opponent for 30 seconds and sends him/her into a stagger state. Effect extends with each Reverb performed. Everytime Chime is allowed to fully sheath her blade, she will also recover 10% of her Ex.

Like Nelo, her also movements differs slightly from others; with precise placement and timing, Chime can jump off his opponent, which will also reset her actions and interrupt the opponent's actions. She also possesses Nelo's exclusive teleport Dodge/Evade/Dash innate skill and a unique fast-fall command known as Voidstep, triggered by holding down +↓, where her air momentum grinds to a halt, then instantly warps downwards to the ground the moment the input is released (she can held onto the air for 5 seconds max).

Chime starts out with all of her movelist unlocked, but her attacks cannot be customized and cost no CP.

Ex Mode
Chime's Ex Mode is Phase Shift, where she is engulfed with a light blue aura and surrounded by a wreath of butterflies. Apart from the standard Regen, she gains the Origin ability, which increases her damage output, range, and overall speed. Next, she gains the Distortion Break ability, which allows all of her HP attacks to deal 100% permanent damage as long as she's in Ex Mode. Chime also becomes utterly invincible whenever she's running, dashing, jumping and attacking.

During Ex Mode, rapid air-to-air jump cancel>instant action links also slows both Chime's and the opponent air momentum to a crawl, greatly increasing her air time.

Chime also gains a new HP attack, Coda, triggered by pressing R +, where she force cancels any of her current action into a very fast sheathing animation and replicates the effects of Reverb, then back to her neutral in a single frame. Unlike the regular version however, Coda will only extends the effect/skill bind ability for 5 seconds per execution, and will not extend the stagger-time of the opponent.

Chime's Ex Burst is Branch Cutter. Unlike other Ex Burst, she can only access it if her current BRV is at least 50% higher than the opponent's current HP and she has at least 50% Ex meter. If all of the requirement are fulfilled, she replicates IN-Ruger's IK in Nelo Must Die, except her version involves single slash that cuts the opponent out of reality, leaving a swarm of Distorted Aether erasing the entire stage into a white out. Instantly kills any God-type enemy bosses and force bypass all of their phases. Ignores any kind of support skill/barrier/buff/personal effects. In Nelo Must Die, if the player character is hit by this, that [specific] character's save data is deleted.

Chime can equip the following: Swords, Katanas, Knives, Helmets, Hats, Armor, Clothes, and Robes
