Switchblade is a carefree rogue with a quick wit and even quicker bullets. Her anxious and individualistic personality often makes her rude toward her teammates, as past traumas have made her distrustful of others. Despite this, she loves to tease her enemies and never lets them escape from her brutal rocket launcher.

### Weapons

Switchblade comes equipped with an assault rifle and a SMG. The MLX Mark 4 is the third most damaging assault rifle, but has the furthest range and the best handling. It is the best assault rifle to use in medium distances, and the handling provides great benefit to that. The 24S is a basic submachine gun, as it does not exceed other SMGs nor does it fall short, being considerably well balanced.

Switchblade's secondary weapon is the Spitfire. It has the fastest rate of fire out of any other pistol, due to it being a rapid firing gun. It's important to mention it causes the least damage and has a short range, excelling in close-range combats and being a good weapon choice.

### Abilities

Switchblade's Chaos Launcher fires in a single direction and, on impact, deals damage and will burst into three areas of lingering fire. As a breacher, she uses this tool to clear out enemies so her team can keep pushing forward to the objective. Switchblade gains a movement speed bonus after using this ability or her gadgets, which pairs well with the Chaos Launcher because anyone hit by the rocket will be forced to change cover, or otherwise they will be downed by the cluster of napalms, allowing Switchblade to push and eliminate them. However, be aware of Scorch, since she is immune to fire, therefore only being able to take damage from the launcher's rocket.

### Gadgets

Switchblade has the Bounce Grenade and the Flashbang. She uses the Bounce Grenade to get rid of enemies and clear out the ones around corners or behind walls. Along with her launcher, Switchblade can induce enemies to beware of when she will make a push. The Flashbang is a useful breaching tool to stop enemies from being able to see during some time, pairing well with surprise attacks using the Chaos Launcher.

### Significant Perks

Switchblade's key perks are Life Drain, Replenish and Tenacity. Life Drain gives Switchblade health back, so when she engages into a fight, she will be ready for another engagement. Replenish gives Switchblade her ammunition back as she downs and eliminates enemies, also making her a great Rogue to deal with multiple threats at the same time. Tenacity allows her to take less damage from explosives, so her survivability will be significantly better and she will be able to stay alive when hit by gadgets such as tripmines and C4s.

### Notable Strengths

Switchblade has a great self-sufficiency. Dealing with more than one enemy at a time is not a problem for her, since her perks allow her to stay full of ammunition and health as she takes them down. Her offensive abilities are one of her greatest attributes and can certainly make a huge difference when attacking and/or pushing. She is very recommended to gamemodes with objectives, such as King Of The Hill or even Strikeout.

### Notable Weaknesses

Although Switchblade has the capacity of causing great amounts of damage in a short period, some of them can be avoided by specific characters. Rogues with the Tenacity perk will have less chances of being eliminated by her ability and her offensive gadget, Scorch is immune to Switchblade's cluster of napalms and Anvil is immune to her flashbang grenade. She can also have trouble dealing with snipers or Rogues with DMRs, since she uses an assault rifle and a SMG.

## Strategy

Switchblade is a very forceful Rogue, and she can easily make a difference in a fight due to her offensive tools, which can make her a great Duelist in case her team is missing one. She can use her napalm launcher for different purposes, and it is able to throw her enemies off guard. By eliminating the enemies from the battlefield, she provides a great advantage to her team and can help taking objectives.
