See Metrics for definition on classes and rating

PvP draft mode

Very high damage (2nd highest ranged), long range multi-hit attack
Suppression enables him to deal with short-range overwatches (and long range overwatches with his active) and slow down melee characters, providing some support capability
Yet, he needs protection against 4-speed Assassins who can rush him down (e.g. Haarken, Yazaghor, Celestine)
Good active to snipe opponent's carry starting Round 3 (the longer, the better)
Prioritise Health powerup, followed by positioning, lastly other powerups. Picking powerups but getting in bad position is absolutely meaningless

Guild Raids

Work best with Maugan Ra or Vindicta, buffing their multi-hits with his passive (playing a role as Support)
Solid range output as Sniper

Arena

With suppression and less likely to get jumped by AI, he also plays a role as Support
Same comments as PvP draft and Guild Raids

Events

One of the few characters with Las damage type
Fairly diverse arsenal (multi-hit, ranged, blast, las)

However, he does not benefit from his own skill
