Botzu's Quick Evaluation

+ Trait: Can pull enemies using Skills, and can be deployed on Ranged or Melee grids
+ Talent: Silences [Infected Lifeforms] (like exploding spiders!) and at E2, increases her Pull strength against them.
+ S1 and S2: Applies Slow to targets
+ Free event Operator is easy to max Potential
= S2: True AoE that pulls ALL enemies (Cliffheart can pull maximum 3, and Rope 2), but enemies must be close together, making it difficult to catch multiple enemies
- At maximum development, Cliffheart skills have lower SP cost
- Pull Specialists are not commonly needed, and her usefulness decreases dramatically outside of her niche

Operator Overview

A Lungmen researcher who can become enthusiastic about even the tiniest, fluffiest pieces of information. Her research was plagiarized by her superiors in the research department so they could take the credit, but her brilliance was recognized by Rhodes Island, which invited her onboard as a 5 Shift Specialist who can Pull and Slow her opponents, especially “Infected Creatures.”

Pull Specialists are primarily used to pull enemies, particularly when there are pits or other deadly hazards on a stage. Snowsant accomplishes this task with both of her Skills, but in different ways. Her Skill 1, Barbed Clawhook, is a single-target pull that triggers automatically; it has low pull strength, but also a shorter charge time. In contrast, Telescoping Electric Net (her Skill 2) is a stronger pull that is triggered manually and affects all enemies in a small AoE, but takes longer to charge. Both Skills Slow enemies, but Telescoping Electric Net has a longer Slow duration and deals Arts damage. In addition, both Skills are boosted by Snowsant’s Talent, Bug Catcher. When pulling an Infected Creature-type enemy, Snowsant’s Skills will not only Slow them, but also Silence them. After E2 promotion, it also increases Snowsant’s pulling strength against Infected Creatures, allowing her to drag heavier Creatures to their deaths in short order!

Snowsant has a rather special niche amongst Shift Operators, since she is designed to counter a particular enemy type. However, in a way, this is also her weakness. If you have already built another Pull Specialist like Rope or Cliffheart, then building Snowsant just to Pull specific enemies may not be worth the investment. However, Snowsant does have the added benefit of Slowing all enemies she pulls, and having a true AoE pull can sometimes come in handy. She also benefits from being a welfare Operator, which makes it easy to max her Potential. If you’re in the market for a Pull Specialist, then Snowsant’s ready and able to fill the position!

Newbie Tier List Explanation

Gets the pulling job done, but Cliffheart or Rope will be as good or better in most situations.

Note: This unit does not have Mastery grades. This means the unit is generally not one worth spending the resources of Mastery on. However this write-up should help with skill selection, should you want to use the unit regardless.

You should not be using Snowsant. Unfortunately for the destitute bird, Cliffheart and Gladiia are both better, and are both free to boot. If you insist though, stick with her S2. The improved range and longer slow are much more impactful, and her S1 is straight inferior to Cliffheart's S1 (higher SP cost) which already has only niche usage. That said, her S1 gets the typical force increase at M3 so if you were really intent on using Snowsant over better options, it’s still worth pursuing.

Base Skill Analysis

Her E2 base skill is definitely a high Trading Post buff, but 30% buffs are quite plentiful and relatively cheap to obtain.  As a combat Operator, there is just no reason to use her over Cliffheart or the cheaper to develop Rope.

Profile

Operator Snowsant, a native of Lungmen, has a rich experience in scientific research from the various high-tech development zones of Columbia.
After returning to Lungmen to develop her home town, she signed a contract with Rhodes Island during the following period.

Clinical Analysis

Increase Trust to 25.
Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there are no other signs of infection. At this time, this operator can be confirmed to be uninfected.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%
Operator Snowsant shows no signs of Oripathy infection.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.14u/L
Due to scientific research and related reasons, Snowsant comes into contact with Originium on occasion. Though there is almost no risk of infection, regular inspections are still required.

A hard worker from birth, Snowsant was born into the lower class and became a self-taught student only through her own efforts. She invested her hard-earned savings to head to Columbia to pursue her dreams.
According to an investigation into her resume, Snowsant once settled in a well-known high-tech development zone in Columbia, working as a researcher in a notorious private research institute. Since this small-scale institute did not produce any results of importance, we once dismissed her research capabilities.
But when we delved into the papers titled 'Next-Generation Convenience Improvements for Floor-Sweeping Robots' and 'A Mechanical Clawhook That Will Never Become Loose (Haven't Thought of a Good Use Yet),' we came to reevaluate Snowsant in a different light.
After all, nothing serves as a better testimony to Snowsant's vigorous and enthusiastic work ethic than the fact that she went all-out even when researching things that probably don't matter at all. This misunderstanding was likely caused by the fact that she was excluded from the field for a long period of time, and did not have the opportunity to enter the high-tech field. In fact, Snowsant is even more talented than she is aware of. Compared to those geniuses that are prone to crashing and burning, a steadfast researcher who has never stopped inching forward seems to be more worthy of Rhodes Island's attention.

The story of 'Snowsant's Coin' was once popular among younger Operators, without any malicious intent of course.
Once, during one of Dobermann's speeches that dragged on for dozens of minutes, Snowsant's eyes were fixated upon the instructor's feet the entire time. As soon as Dobermann concluded her speech, Snowsant immediately shot up and approached Dobermann - nobody had ever seen her move so quickly before. Then, she bent over - in front of everyone in the room, picked up a coin, and stood back up. Even Dobermann did not know how to react at that time. Though Snowsant quickly seemed to realize her rude behavior, she stood there for a few seconds before shuffling back to her seat, trembling in front of the whole room.
We later learned that her purse had a small hole in it, and the purse was filled with coins that she had painstakingly scrounged up. Surprisingly, though Snowsant was fidgeting around for the coin almost the entire meeting, her notes were almost identical to what was given by Dobermann. We hope that the Operators prone to falling asleep during meetings can learn a thing or two from her diligence.
Although sometimes this diligence reaches a level that makes others worried about her health, most Operators watch over her fondly as this frail girl carefully and painstakingly goes about her work.

Somehow, Miss Jessica and Miss Snowsant have developed a good relationship.
During a certain equipment maintenance job, Jessica struck up a conversation with Snowsant. Perhaps due to their shared similarities - both girls being kind, hard-working, and conscientious, the two quickly came to understand each other, and sympathized with and admired each others' experiences.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, these two girls also have strikingly similar weaknesses. There are too many talented people surrounding them, which makes them underestimate their abilities, and they compensate through an almost stubborn work ethic, taking one step at a time.
However, despite understanding each other in many regards and confiding in each other, after learning about Jessica's monthly expenditures on firearms, equipment, and Originium bullets, Snowsant once questioned Jessica's grasp of currency and basic mathematical knowledge. If you see the two eating together at a cafeteria, don't be surprised if you see Snowsant with an empty tray in front of her. While Jessica is certainly capable of helping Snowsant financially, she also knows the value of the sacrifices Snowsant is willing to make for her ideals. Perhaps, the two of them really can become each others' emotional pillar of support.

If Rhodes Island has a 'paragon of frugality,' that would be none other than Snowsant.
According to her own account, before traveling to Columbia, she lived a bare-bones life in Lungmen. Even after her scholarships and salary from the research institute eased her financial burdens, she continued her frugality in order to fund her independent research and development projects.
From the smallest of things, such as turning off the lights before going outside or recycling whatever she could, Snowsant had precise calculations and plans for all her daily expenses. After rigorously withholding what she needed for her research funds and squeezing anything out of her living expenses, she would send whatever was left over back to her hometown.
It is worth mentioning the industrial clawhooks that Snowsant carries with her. Reportedly, this clawhook is the first scientific achievement that Snowsant made by herself before leaving Lungmen. Obviously, she had no idea how to use patent rights and marketing to turn a profit for herself. She simply took this clawhook to participate in a certain regional industrial design competition, relying on the meager proceeds to buy a one-way ticket to Columbia to begin chasing her dreams.
Snowsant has little confidence in her abilities, and though I don't know when, some very successful people who understood the value of her quiet diligence turned their attention towards her and invited her back to Lungmen when the time was right.

Promotion Record

Upgrade to Elite LV2.
During her hardest time in Columbia, Snowsant repeatedly missed research opportunities due to exclusion and discrimination. When Snowsant learned that the few scientific achievements she made had been plagiarized by the institute and registered under another person's name to secure research funds, she could only helplessly shuffle through the bustling streets of Columbia. Under the crushing weight of utter disappointment, she took out the lucky charm bag that her grandmother had prepared for her. Within it was but a piece of paper with the four words: 'Heaven rewards the hardworking.'
Though useless for her situation, Snowsant cheered up and found solace in those words.
Heaven rewards the hardworking, and the proverb became reality.
Three days later, Snowsant received an invitation from officials in Lungmen's upper echelons. Though the research institute tried to persuade her to stay upon learning this news, Snowsant eventually rejected the institute's offer and returned to her hometown with a deep longing in her heart.

Appointed as Assistant D-Doctor! Excuse me, but could you please move a little? You're stepping on a coin...
Talk 1 My dream is to be praised sincerely by the entire world... Ah, um, maybe just Lungmen... Well, maybe I should start with Rhodes Island, or, um, just you! Yes, that is my dream for the time being...
Talk 2 Ugh, I forgot to turn off the light when I left the office yesterday... Hm? Rhodes Island has a power generation facility so there's no need to pay for electricity? Really? Does that I mean I get to eat dinner in the future?
Talk 3 This is the Originium ammunition that Jessica ordered... Eh? D-Doctor! Isn't this dollar amount wrong? Or is this the currency of some small remote country? It's not? It's LMD? I, I, I, I, I see... Don't worry, I was just a l-l-l-little s-surprised.
Talk after Promotion 1 Oripathy... Hm, even though it's a bit beyond my field of study, it does seem to be worth looking into... But if I add another research project, I'll go from two meals a day to two days a meal... Ugh...
Talk after Promotion 2 Frugality is a type of virtue, but for me, it's closer to a habit... D-despite that, if you or my friends were in need, I'd gladly help out! I'm serious!
Talk after Trust Increase 1 You'd like to take a look at my clawhook? That's maybe fine... but whatever you do, don't push this button. And watch your thumb when you're holding the grip... W-wait, you're not winding the rope correctly, and... Ack! Sorry, don't mind me, you can keep looking at it...
Talk after Trust Increase 2 After I become a great, world-famous scientist with lots of money, I swear I'll have three meals a day and dessert too, just like Jessica... And then, with the money I'm not able to spend, I'd put it back into making Lungmen a better place. Um... if a day like that ever comes.
Talk after Trust Increase 3 Money is very important. Before I returned to Lungmen, I refused a large retention fee from the research institute, so my self-funded research project went under... But it's more important to be home. I can always save up more money, and now I won't go dizzy from looking at all those large numbers!
Idle ...Did you fall asleep? Just let me handle the rest, though I am a bit hungry.
Onboard Oww... my head! Sorry... Oh, y-you're the Doctor? It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Snowsant. Sorry, I shouldn't be walking with my head down...
Watching Battle Record Woah... This isn't something you can learn with more effort...
Promotion 1 Ehh? A p-promotion? I feel a bit more pressure, but I'll be okay. This is the proof that I'm one step farther than when I first came.
Promotion 2 'Heaven rewards the hard-working.' Wouldn't you agree, Doctor?
Added to Squad It'll be all right, as long as I work just as hard as I did during training...
Appointed as Squad Leader You want m-me to be the squad leader? I really don't know anything about battle though...
Depart Clawhook inspection complete! Take a deep breath... I can do this!
