Quick build

  • Specializations: Assault first, then Gunslinger.
  • Weapon: Pistol to exploit Gunslinger's repeated attacks.
  • Utility: Concussion grenade for displacement, exposed targets, and clustered Sweeping Salvo setups.

Unique talent

Final Shot immediately assists against and eliminates a low-health target. Upgrades raise the trigger threshold and allow more activations in a turn.

Upgrade priority

  • Upgrade Final Shot early so more allied attacks cross its execution threshold.
  • Keep Sweeping Salvo and Bull Rush available for groups and displacement.
  • Add Keen Eye and Onslaught from Gunslinger to reward repeated Pistol attacks.
  • Favor accuracy and critical chance after the core loop works; Final Shot is wasted if Jae cannot assist the target.

Turn plan

  • Place Jae within weapon range and line of sight before allies begin softening targets.
  • Let the squad reduce several enemies toward the Final Shot threshold instead of overkilling the first target.
  • Use Pistol attacks or Sweeping Salvo to finish survivors and generate more Advantage.
  • Use Bull Rush only when the knockback creates a kill or a safe exposed target; do not strand Jae in the open.

Squad pairings and Bonds

  • Kabb as a Scoundrel can guarantee a critical opening that Jae converts into a cleanup shot.
  • Luco produces the large single hit needed to push durable targets into execution range.
  • Scout support improves target information and helps fund Sweeping Salvo.

Alternative build and limits

Scout supplies more Advantage: Final Shot eliminations can trigger Tactical Timing and feed the shared pool. Before the second specialization unlocks, Assault alone is sufficient if you protect Jae's line of sight.
