Review

Freelancer Kim Chowon is a pvp-oriented defender that deploys 3 mines in front of the ship when deployed. Outside of that unique gimmick and notable ability to hit air units she is painfully average, with decent defensive stats and low impact skill set. While mines offer a significant level of protection against agressive striker-based comps and forward deployable units, more often than not they will not affect outcome of a match. In the end, unless most better defenders in the game are banned, Freelance Kim Chowon isn't good enough to find a place on a team.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- Backline protection

- High EVA

- Has a cute smile

Cons

- There are simply better 3-cost Defenders...
