Abilities
Support operator built around keeping a squad alive. He is the only support operator whose tactical gear is a gun, and his two smokes let him split one fight into several single duels.
The Chinese client labels the signature ability as the ultimate. The English client calls that slot Tactical Gear, and it is the same ability — across all sixteen operators the wiki's ultimate row and Liquipedia's Tactical Gear row are always the same one. These pages use the English client's slot names.
| Ability | Slot | Cooldown | Effect, as recorded by the sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hive-Tech Pistol | Tactical Gear | 30 s per charge, up to 6 charges | A pistol that fires multi-target homing rounds, slowly healing allies and suppressing their pain. It holds six charges, one every 30 seconds. A hit restores 10 HP immediately and then roughly 20 seconds of regeneration and pain suppression, up to 50 HP in total, and it reaches 82 m. Aiming down sights locks onto a single target; firing from the hip tracks without precise aim. Long-pressing uses it on the operator himself. Against unarmoured enemies it deals 60 to the head or torso and 36 to limbs, with no armour penetration. |
| Smokescreen | Gadget | 60 s | A gesture-controlled drone that flies forward laying smoke, with the fire button steering it. A tap lays a straight 40 to 50 m wall; holding steers it around corners or up slopes for L-shaped and elevated screens. The smoke lasts 12 to 15 seconds. The wiki notes it cannot be dyed into healing smoke by the pistol. |
| Hive-Tech Smoke Grenade | Gadget | 40 s | A grenade that produces a cloud rather than a line. It bounces once before releasing, spreads slower than D-Wolf's or Vyron's smoke, and lasts 14 to 15 seconds at up to 40 m thrown. Shot with the pistol it turns into healing smoke: every unit inside, enemies included, regenerates with no cap and gains about 50 seconds of healing on contact. Dyed smoke hides less — enemies inside become faintly visible and infrared sights see through it. It can also put out fire. |
| Expertly Rescue | Trait | — | Rescues through the pistol rather than by hand: he can revive from up to 3 m away in any posture, taking about 8 to 10 seconds in Hazard Operations or 1.5 seconds in Warfare. Teammates he revives keep the 20 HP of maximum health other revives cost them, and come back with 40 HP and 20 seconds of pain suppression. |

The Tactical Gear
Hive-Tech Pistol is this operator's tactical gear. The wiki's own skill list does not label an ultimate for this operator; the English client files the Hive-Tech Pistol as Tactical Gear, which is the same slot.
Cosmetics
The community wiki records these as this operator's skins. Their names are published only in Chinese with no English form we can cite, so the names below are our English renderings of the Chinese originals rather than official titles.

Update Rule
Ability figures change with balance patches, and this page tracks the two sources' record rather than trying to keep pace with every adjustment. The date at the top records when those sources were read, not when the game last changed. If a figure here disagrees with the publisher's own wiki, the publisher's figure is correct and this page is out of date.
