Official Details

Description

Each time the decoding progress increases by 5%, the Lawyer's Decoding Speed increases by 0.75% for up to 15%.
Each time the Lawyer travels 18 meters, his Movement Speed increases by 0.14% for up to 3.5%.
Each time the Lawyer vaults over a new pallet or window, his obstacle vaulting speed increases by 1.5% for up to 12%.
When the Lawyer uses the map within the first 30 seconds of a match, or when he travels or vaults over obstacles within that time, his Note-taking Speed is doubled. Meeting both conditions increases his Note-taking Speed by 3 times.

Gameplay

The Lawyer will start with his default decoding/movement/vaulting speed at the start of the game. His decoding/movement/vaulting speed increases if he performs the following interactions:

• For every 5% decoding progress done by decoding a Cipher Machine. (+0.75% Decoding Speed up to 15%)
• Travel 18 meters in-game. (+0.14% Movement Speed up to 3.5%)
• Vault over a newly dropped pallet/window. (+1.5% Vaulting Speed up to 12%)

Most importantly, his movement speed bonus allows him to reach to objectives (Example: Cipher Machine, Exit Gates, Rocket Chairs) quicker and can help him contain the Hunter longer. If combined with his External Trait Veterans and the Persona Talents focusing on speed such as Knee Jerk Reflex, Escape, and Weber's Law, he can create a huge distance from the Hunter.

Despite being immune to Terror Shock due to his External Trait, Heartless, his vaulting speed bonus can make a difference to create distance from the Hunter.

If Lawyer uses the map while traveling or vaulting obstacles, his note-taking speed is doubled. Lawyer cannot use his map while decoding.
