  • Can grab and throw drones.

Tactical Analysis[]

Sounds decent on paper, but against strong at-level enemy forces (such as an at-level Superior High-risk Area against Redeemers) it does not work well in practice. It does not have the toughness to endure the close-range combat required for its passives and Ultimate to work, nor the damage output required to fuel its Ultimate quickly for repeated use, nor the speed needed to evade enemy fire.
