Analysis
Review
Karin Wong, the gender-bend version of our resident Wall Maker (Kyle Wong for those who don't know who I'm talking about) is a Sniper that for a long time was a meme employee because of her stupid AI. She was so fixated on killing air targets, that she walked straight into the frontline whenever she found one, only to get herself killed.
Thankfully, they fixed her AI and now she's one of the scariest Snipers that excels at killing Air enemies, and her damage on ground enemies is still very strong - and her basics have an AOE. Alongside Lyudmila, she shines in Dive 45-50. She still has one big weakness though: her passive transition. When Karin swaps from her close range firing mode into her long range mode, she has to go through a rather long animation - and if she goes back into her close range mode again, she'll have to go through this whole animation again. This makes her rather hard to use in PVP because if anything goes within her melee range she becomes useless for a few seconds.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- great anti-air damage,
- still great damage vs non-air,
- quite tanky for a Sniper.
Cons
- high cost makes her hard to use in some places, especially in PVP,
- wonky AI.
