On the 21st of May I made a post talking about a new idea for a raider in the local faction. After polishing the idea a little here is the updated thoughts. Her name is Kiera.
The raider's ability is the power to open up portals or "Rifts". These rifts will cause not only you but your team to teleport between the two of them causing instant travel across the map. As far as mission objectives I believe making the rifts unusable while carrying things such as the bombs on "short fused" or the encoder/Schneider on "in medias res" will make the ability still useful as it still provides the team more mobility yet isn't overpowered. I do not believe this is necessary, however, another alternative nerf to the ability is letting the enemies/antagonist be able to destroy the rifts. Some cards that could benefit is a speed boost, a brief moment of immunity, or even a slight heal after going through the rift.
Her base gun is a mid to long range rifle that has the gimmick of shooting small destroyable traps (the same size of the mines that are dropped by the minelayers) and whenever a enemy comes close enough it will fire a hook similar to Ayana however does not pull the enemy. Instead it slows them to a crawl making it easier to close the gap. There should also be a maximum number of traps able to be set out. Her second common weapon should be a semi automatic rifle with a gimmick of bullets that track the targeted enemy. The secondary fire mode just places a tracker on the enemy while the base shot instantly goes to them. The downside to this gun is the fact you can only damage one enemy at a time sense there can only be one tracker at anytime. You can track a different enemy by reusing the secondary fire mode or killing the previously targeted enemy. Her last and rare weapon should be a mid range shotgun that has the secondary fire mode that changes it to a sniper. This sniper has the ability to shoot through structures however muffles the damage significantly.
Concept art for Kiera has been posted in the Fan corner tab. Enjoy! <3
