First Impressions

Note: These are first impressions and based on conjecture since we don’t know the exact details. 

Gladiia with be a 6 Star Puller Specialist, obtainable free in the upcoming Under Tides event.  She will be the first 6 Star Operator given to players for free, and the first 6 Star of her Archetype. There isn't much doubt that Gladiia will be a cut above the other Puller Specialists.  Not only does she have the standard single-target Pull skill with S1, but her multi-target S2 also extends her Attack Range.

Her S3 is something completely new to the Pulling game.  It's an AoE pull centered on a distanced enemy that also Binds the target and Slows the others.  After a duration, those caught up in the tornado get pulled toward Gladiia.  The potential usefulness of a wide-area AoE pull seems obvious.  Less obvious is how useful the other mechanics will end up being, and if they will be useful enough to warrant her use outside of just pulling things into holes.

Her Abyssal Hunter  buff  will be welcome for those that use Skadi and Specter especially, but its severely narrow application will likely limit its strength for most players.
