Analysis

Review

Originally Hayami Sanae was a 4-cost sniper that was a meme employee - she was so weak nobody wanted to use her. But after her cost was reduced to 3 and her skills were reworked, she finally found her spot as one of the best PVE support-sniper employees in the game. She specializes in destroying groups of enemies and Siege units, and on top of that, she buffs her allies to do the same.

That's why she's necessary to use against Soli boss in Danger Close and on some stages of Challenge Mode Act 3 where the Rhino boss makes people cry.

In PVP she has some uses depending on the week's ban and ups, specifically to delete Strikers like the Twins, but she is not used there that often compared to other Snipers.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- anti-siege specialist,

- buffs nearby allies to help them fight siege units,

- can destroy groups of enemies,

- tanky for a Sniper,

- she finally came home after 7 months.

Cons

- single target DPS is not on par with other snipers.
