Roberta

-------------

"Hi, I'm Roberta, hello again! May I ask if signing here will make me your exclusive stylist? Huh ...... 'Become an operator'? Whatever, it's no problem if I can stay."

-------------

Make-up artist Roberta, who has been working in ____ for many years, has been nominated for six Academy Awards for Best Make-up and Hair Design for her work on films. After a chance encounter with our field team in _____ she volunteered to join Rhodes Island and after passing the test, became an engineering operator.

To Roberta, styling is as much a skill as it is an art. Her spirit of discovery is not limited to the study of body modelling techniques and repeated experiments with new equipment, but also to the persistent search for modelling objects that inspire her. The latter was one of the reasons why she left her career at ____ and came all the way to Rhodes Island to take up her post.

"Doctor, from her description, it seems that the person she wants to see is you?"

-------------

First Impressions

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

Artificer Supporter will be a new Archetype that can buff Operators through deployable [Support Devices].  As an Archetype that buffs/supports other Operators, their strength will hinge heavily on the potency of their buffs, as their own stats/abilities are likely to be lower than direct-use Operators to offset.  Other buffing/supporting Archetypes have not always been particularly well tuned, for example Support Guards and Buffer Supporters, so we'll have to wait for the details to see how Artificer Supporters fare.

As for Roberta specifically, she focuses on DEF while buffing DEF with her Device and providing a Shield.  Whether she will be useful or not depends on her own defensive capabilities and the strength of her buffs.  Having multiple high-DEF Operators on the field is generally not a strong strategy, so unless she can reliably replace a different defensive Operator, or allow a non-defensive Operator to survive as a blocker, she may struggle to find relevancy.  Trying to face-tank high sustained physical damage is not a common strategy, so buffing already highly defensive Operators may not be much of a gain.
