Combat
Tiche darts around foes and dodges many of their attacks. Her dagger deals Slash, Pierce and Holy damage. She fires the Blade of Death, a Holy beam that lowers a target's maximum health for a short time. The same skill deals extra damage over time based on the target's health. That percentage damage makes her strong against bosses with large health pools. Her own health is low, so a crowd of enemies can overwhelm her.
Upgrades
As a renowned spirit it is strengthened with Ghost Glovewort, which Roderika handles at the Roundtable Hold up to +10.

Notes
- Tiche counts toward the Legendary Ashen Remains trophy.
- Her Blade of Death does not stack with the same effect cast from a Black Knife.
- She tends to attack whatever hits her, so boss fights with extra enemies pull her off the main target.
