New character: (G28) Belka

Belka is a vanguard doll who uses a rifle and deals electric damage. Belka possess high mobility and introduces a new mechanic to the game (Charge Polarity)

Charge Polarity Mechanics:

1. When an enemy target with (Negative charge) takes precise damage, all enemy unit with (Negative charge) take an instance of fixed damage as electric damage.
2. When an enemy target with (Negative charge) gets inflicted with another instance of  (Negative charge) will take an instance of fixed damage as electric damage.
3. When a ally with (Positive charge) attacks an enemy with (Negative charge), that instance of attack would have it’s electric damage increased, this complements with mechanic 1 resulting in all instances of fixed damage dealt being increased.

Belka would only be able to apply (Negative charge) on enemies, thus not able to make full use of (Charge Polarity) mechanics as she is not able to gain (Positive charge). However the upcoming character androis (G36K) who will be able to apply (Positive charge) on allies would allow Belka to make full use of (Charge Polarity) mechanics.
