Vierge (French for "virgin") is a sleek and powerful Gear piloted by Elly Van Houten.
Origin[]
It was a custom built special forces Gear made by Solaris specifically for top-level Ether users (an elite few within Gebler known as the Elements).
The Gear was based on the C-1 Vierge, Myyah Hawwa's prototype Gear.
Xenogears[]
It first appeared at the Mountain Path when Elly confronted and then fought Fei Fong Wong, acting under orders from Gebler command. When Elly turns against Solaris and sides with Fei's party the Gear becomes playable full-time.
Gameplay[]
In battle, Vierge is very fast with powerful Ether attacks, but its physical attacks are rather lacking. Its special ability is Animum Ether Response Offensive Drones or AERODs, powerful Ether-powered attack drones.
In Gear battles, Elly pilots Vierge and she was seen wielding a rod during battles. However, in her boss battle against Fei due to being drugged by the "Drive", Vierge is not seen wielding a rod and is able to utilize its move with or without a rod until she uses a final blow against Fei with the use of Aerods.
Vierge can essentially become overpowered if the player equips her with an Ether Doubler on her human form (use 2x EP to create 2x effect), and Power Magic on her Gear (increases Eth Mach Strength). Her Gear's Aerods then become insanely overpowered. Sometimes, it's enough to one-hit-kill bosses.
