Fury Cutter: Lexicon is an observant fighter and thoughtful ruler, able to notice things many others tend to overlook and formulate plans around suspected weaknesses. She also has an incredibly short temper and several very clear soft spots in her emotional defenses. It's relatively easy to push her into a rage and this completely changes her approach to battle from that of a tactician into a berserker. This makes her very predictable for those who can successfully provoke her, makes it easy to lure her away from comrades, and has landed Lexicon in hot water on more than one occasion. In political situations it's caused her to completely shut down attempts at diplomacy or even throw out entire delegations. Often literally.

Annoying Low Energy Alert Noise: All of Lexicon's powers are fueled by System Resources provided to her steadily through her connection to Britannica. However, outside of The System or its various Drives, she only receives enough to manage her basic elemental powers and magic. Her body is only able to store a relatively small, arbitrary amount analogous to mana in other contexts. Lexicon cannot activate her Hyper Divinity Driver outside of The System in normal circumstances, simply due to not having the Resources to do so. Only by dropping a System Relay does Lexicon get access to the Resources needed to transform, and the crafty foe can just as easily target the Relay instead of Lexicon to eliminate this advantage.

The Town is Under Attack: As the Silver City of Knowledge is Lexicon's direct source of System Resources, attacking the country itself is one way to cut her off from her power. This is especially effective if one targets the infrastructure in efforts to prevent Britannica from producing its own resources, which translates directly into Lexicon having less power at her own disposal. Even if the Drive is not actually damaged, threatening it is a reliable way to get Lexicon to abandon whatever she's doing and rush to its defense. This can even penetrate her intense berserker rage.

Push the Button: Provoking Lexicon's temper is not difficult due to her various insecurities and embarrassing hobbies. She is an amateur writer who is embarrassed by how her work is unpopular (being mostly trashy B-rank romance novels), she has body image issues, she does not deal with criticism very well in any context, and she absolutely does not tolerate insults to her own intelligence. Lexicon also dislikes being talked down to, which is easy to do even on accident due to her diminutive height. In a stab against her pride she also does not suffer insults directed to Britannica, as she is quite proud of how the Drive has developed under her leadership and protection, which also means she's annoyed by jabs at her quality as a DCC. Any one of these (and many more) can stir Lexicon's temper into a boil. Push multiple buttons at once to score a super combo bonus.

Gone Viral: Most things would consider Lexicon to be human, including regular medicine, poisons, disease, and magic. As a digital being she is innately vulnerable to Virus status. Any computer virus tailored the right way can affect her, decreasing her battle power or preventing her from activating her Hyper Divinity Driver until her body can eliminate the malware. This also puts her at a disadvantage against The System's own innate virus problem.
