Mayer

"If anything breaks, I can just make another one!"

Busy-body inventor and one-person army, Mayer is a summon-based support Operator who can stall enemies and provide large amounts of on-demand Arts damage nearly anywhere on the map.

Mayer’s playstyle revolves around her unique trait, which allows the placement of ‘Robotters’, which she calls her Meeboos. Meeboos act like melee Operators, can block 1 enemy, have decent HP, and decrease the ASPD of enemies that engage them. Meeboos count toward the Deploy Limit, and are restricted in the number that can be deployed, which increases as Mayer receives Elite promotions. 

Mayer’s first Skill, Bionic Device, passively increases the Physical and Arts dodge chance of deployed Meeboos. Although heavy investment into Bionic Device allows Meeboos to extend this buff to nearby allies, and can be stacked with other evade buffs, this Skill is primarily a stalling tool. It is Mayer’s second Skill, Detonate and Recycle, that is the game-changer. Detonate and Recycle self-destructs all deployed Robotters and deals massive AoE Arts damage, briefly stuns surviving enemies, and ‘recycles’ all detonated Meeboos. This allows them to function not only as strategic low-cost blockers, but also as nuclear Arts bombs that can bring pinpoint mass destruction to almost anywhere on the map.The recycling functionality enables rapid redeployment for quick alteration or reconstruction of defensive lines.

By design, Mayer as a standalone Operator is underwhelming due to her very low stats. However, with skillful utilization and placement of each Meeboo, Mayer can be a one-woman wrecking crew and even single-handedly clear missions. Learning and experimenting with Mayer’s capabilities will be well worth the time spent with this uniquely versatile Operator.
