Review

Kang Soyoung, the road-rage terror that makes any sniper tremble when they see her appear on the battlefield. Or rather hear, because the sound of tires screeching often is the last thing they hear before staring into the incoming lights of her car that murders them. To make things worse, she's a paratrooper which means she can reach anyone and anywhere.

On top of that, she also makes nearby Soldier units stronger, so in PVE, you can easily use her on auto-play and she will buff everyone nearby. There are also some places that can be cheesed thanks to her - like the first five stages of Challenge Mode Act 3, where she can bully Karin Wong to death.

Overall, she's a top-tier disruptor employee in PVP and a disruptor/buffer in PVE. For a 2 cost employee, it's ridiculous how good she is.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- way too good for a 2-cost employee,

- can be deployed anywhere,

- can buff ally Soldiers,

- one of the best disruptors in PVP.

Cons

- against Awakened employees and sturdier Snipers she acts just as a disruptor and can't kill them alone.
