Season 2 Hunter

K-A0S arrives in the Arena. Her enhanced armaments take the brutality of the Empire's KX-series security droid to a whole new level. K-A0S can use the Bulwark ability, connecting her shields to protect herself and allies while also providing ranged support with her blaster. Don't let K-A0S get too close otherwise she will close the gap with her Lunged Uppercut before Backhanding enemies away. Her Ultimate ability, Aftershock, damages and knocks upwards all enemies around her, making them easy targets for allies to eliminate. As a formidable Tank, K-A0S can push her team forward to victory.
