Review

Sobin looks innocent, but do not let that fool you. Her minigun makes her one of the best damage dealers in the game who is still used today in a variety of Raids and Danger Close bosses. Despite her high cost, it is worth using her in PVE because her damage is matched by few other employees.

On the flip side, her skill and ult make her DPS go down. This makes having more skill haste on her a negative.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- massive DPS,

- easy to reach full potential (level 110) because she's a farmable employee.

Cons

- not good on content with multiple enemies; shines mostly on bosses.
