Self-explanatory.
Random side note, Meluc seems to drop lockon a LOT when hopping.

Time to exploit that blind spot.

...Or using Vox Altus while you're on the way.

It's not like her melee's strong with vox tree.
Especially if they've tec tuned.

Which is why i haven't touched my resha's slots yet. I like to switch to mellee with "e" when i sometimes have the chance, torturing the ocasional art/TBG. And i'd like to add that when she's running her first attack is a closer (an attack in which she dashes foward while striking, kinda like a spear attack), so take care with that too.
Now, there are two aditional weak spots that Resha also has.
First (and most obvious) one is Vox Altus' charging. If you're not the one she's targetting you can shoot her for extra points. Do note that if you charge for mellee there's a chance that the arrow blows up in your face if you stand in her front, so attack on the side.
The second one is when her shield breaks. A normal instinct on new Resha players is to bring it up again, but if you paralize her while she's casting, not only do you stun her, but she also loses the shield until the cooldown is up again, which is a big disadvantage. This is harder for hopper Reshas, in which they use the hop as a counter mechanism for this stun. There's also the other case in which you bring her second shield down as well, but if so happens then you're skillfull enough to defeat that player (unless she's running away ofc, which then it would be more of a way to stall her death while returning to her group).
Oh, and hoppers can dodge Eris' invisibility attack if you time it right (happened to me twice, so maybe it's a good idea, i think )

Heh...now imagine what happens to those beams once they're Dio'd....
Gerrion, those “weaknesses” you stated only have a 2-3 second window of opportunity to exploit so if you screw up, you’re going down with a body full of bullet holes or nuked by Vox. It’s like you’re saying the weakness of a machine gun is that you can dodge between the bullets.
Here are the problems I see in you statements. Not being a target of Vox is basically luck since it’s hard to tell if she is targeting you until she throws it and by then it’s too late. Even if you aren’t a target the AOE can still catch you if her target tries to dodge in your general direction. Regarding the barrier, only a retarded player wouldn’t think of dodging when taking sustained fire. The fact that Resha gets an attack warning (assuming no sniper sight) and 10 free hits from the barrier before they even need to consider moving and putting up another barrier lets even the slowest players use, at the very least, a competent Resha. To shoot out Resha’s first barrier and catch her again whilst she is trying to put up another is pretty circumstantial don’t you think?
The risk and reward of engaging a Resha will never be in the favor of the one trying to take her down and listing the few, very short, instances where she is vulnerable won’t increase those odds, but hell that doesn’t stop players, including me, from trying. But hey, if you want to list very circumstantial weaknesses: Rehsa can’t get heals with her barrier up =3=

Most of what you say is true. They're small windows, still it gives her the downtime. I wonder if Clearance/Crimson Veil have effect when suffering from Vox Altus, since it triggers multiple stuns (i think).
Also...

I believe that the regereration bonus from Regina does heal me, but the shield is hidden while it's in effect. Maybe it's not being useduntil the regeneration buff expires, but this is just a guess that i'll have to confirm. later on.

From what I tested only the first hit can proc stun regain or revenge tunes. Everything past that seems to be a special stun incapable of doing so.

Yeah, Regina field and Schoolcrim field are the only things that can heal through Amot Vainic. Regina field also makes the shield invisible during the effect, not sure if schoolcrim's allguard buff has a similar effect or not.
