New Rearmament Unit – Kim Chulsoo

Rearmed Chulsoo has a pretty interesting kit with the Rage mechanic, but his issue is that due to him being SR rarity he lacks MDL and valid hit absorption. This means that in PVP while he can survive, units near him might take full damage from AoE attacks. His 50% Debuff RES can be pretty useful against healing block/reflux since he can reduce both the duration and the block/reflux amount, while also reducing HP burn debuffs, and his ultimate knockback during rage mode can push all the enemies back to their ship.

New Employee – Mi Rinae

Mirine is a Striker who uses multiple elements and can transform her weapon on the fly. With each transformation, she will inflict a different status on the enemy (or herself), making her a pretty versatile character. Still, Mirine’s biggest issue is that it takes her a lot of time to ‘power up’ her element to release it, and when she does it, the effect lasts for a very short time – the range of the skill is also very short.

Honestly, she has a very interesting kit, but she’s in a dire need of a number buff or some tweaks to make her viable.

New Employee – Jin Bora

Jin Bora is a 3 cost sniper who excels in PVE content, while not being particularly strong by herself. Jin Bora’s passive allows her to prevent enemies and bosses from casting any skills for cheesing a variety of difficult PVE content like Titan Relic, Danger Close, Dive 50, Britra Raid, and Guild Co-op (below lv7 only).

Her passive gives her 50% ASPD which allows for flexibility when it comes to gearing since she doesn’t strictly need full ASPD gear to permanently seal bosses.

In PVP, Jin Bora’s low survivability, low damage output, and the fact that she can only seal one enemy in front of her, make her a less optimal choice. She also easily will reset her passive stacks every time she is interrupted

New Operator – Jung Dain

Jung Da-in looks really great on paper with the massive 50% ASPD (when maxed, 29% base) and a barrier on top, but her issue is that she requires a defender to proc. Kim Hana, who gives less ASPD, but also DP refund is still the preferred choice for universal PVE operator.

In PVP, she can be used for buffing any DPS focused team especially mech and soldier teams, allowing them to melt though frontline very quickly, although defensive operators are preferred.
