Baby Gnolls, Baby Lizard men, Baby Goblins, Tiny Wenshardt (like the one in mabinogi) and other spiders, Tiny Golem the list can go on. Trust me they want to make money so they will think of plenty
Tiny version of Gnoll Chieftain and the polar bear please.
Oh! After watching another one of Largerowonder's Kraken videos I saw that the ship, where Kraken's head is, starts to break apart the longer the fight is. So, I'm guessing that's how you determine how much time you have.
And apparently this is mainly for 16-18k parties...
Right below the map there is a Ship Durability Meter in the form of a ship, took me awhile to see it lol.

If it was that she was simply too weak then all that's needed is a buff. But the problem here is that she is super effective against certain bosses and a complete waste of space for others. And this is beyond the length of how other characters have bosses that they're strong or weak at.
The bosses she have trouble with are those that use moves that can't be countered with Cross Strike that give little time to react. For example, all EP 10 bosses except for Sigrint. And thus making it hard for her to use her staple skill, Cross Strike.
So one could ask here, then wouldn't a DEF stacked Vella be able to shrug off these attacks and keep on attacking? But that won't work for Vella because her damage is reliant on how she utilizes her stacks of Swordsman's Pride [a buff that improves Cross Strike] and she loses her stacks if she gets hit without super-armor status.
Without Pride stacks, her Cross Strike does pathetic damage, eats up a huuuge amount of stamina, and is very risky due to the clunky way the invincibility for Cross Strike is working ATM.
Another way bosses can screw over her is to just spam their un-counterable attacks and refuse to use the moves that she can counter [Sigrint and Lakiora does this alot]
This situation gets a lot better after she gets her Wind Step [slip dash equivalant] to rank 6 but the remaining problem would be that she needs to be facing her opponent to use Cross Strike so slip dashing away from a boss would put her in a situation where she can't immediately use Cross Strike. Also, since she doesn't have Nimble Dash, she's weak against combo attacks.
On the other hand, if the boss allows her to stack her Pride buffs freely and don't give her much trouble in using Cross Strike, she deals some massive damage.
This vid is an example of that case. My 64 Vella with 14k damage but crappy AP and titles was able to beat a 71 Lann who was 14k as well. And this is after Ignition so Lanns are doing very good damage overall.
I personally think that the majority of the problems here would be gone if they lift the facing requirement for Cross Strike.

Eh, 25% in 5 minutes on CBH isn't very good at all with 14K, even considering low AP :l And those are supposedly ideal situations. I don't even know what the 14K Lann was doing, it seems like he was just wandering around for some reason a decent bit of the game.
This is kinda killing my excitement. So far, I've heard that she's clunky, a little unfun, and does poor damage. This is a character with so much potential, they better not mess it up.

DevCat? If they don't mess something up, that's a miracle.
