• Excellent crowd control ability; Turns opponents into flying objects that can break down defenses in team play.
• EX Divergence adds an additional layer of strategy: when Divergent Flame is activated, TRASH and Sweep become upgraded versions of EX, but using them consumes the fire, forcing players to constantly make decisions between keeping the defensive invulnerability effect or using them for explosive damage.

Projector – Level A

Intrinsic:
• Flicker Image: Can dodge curses in the other direction immediately

Active skills:
• Curse Blitz (E + M2): Rush to attack. [8+] Increase time.

.

• Curse Sense: Inner ability to detect presence.

• Energy Burst provides a strong counter option on the ground, especially at [7+] when the held version causes damage to posture and health increases significantly, giving the Manipulator a punishing tool even while on the ground.

Hydra – Level B

Intrinsic:
• Eight Headed: Passive stamina drain mechanism, gradually weakens the opponent’s stamina through consecutive attacks.

• The main threat is the ability to drain stamina through Eight Headed — constant offensive pressure that forces opponents to exhaust their stamina and make disastrous mistakes.
• Some communities rank Hydra higher than a B grade due to its hybrid versatility; currently rated B pending broader data on skill limits and performance in matches.

Interceptor – Class B

• Defensive counter-attack specialist. Predator’s Guard is very effective in slowing down overly aggressive Projectors.
• It’s difficult to play effectively in the current meta, which favors aggressive, aggressive play over passive reaction.

Sensor – Level B

• Top reconnaissance equipment. Stun grenades create important opportunities in team fights.
• Low solo ability; Skills mainly focus on supporting allies rather than finishing off enemies.

Constructor – Level C

• Strong in building PMC bases and static defenses in raids.
