Uplink

**Uplink**, real name Adriana Andrade, is a member of the Mercenaries and a member of the Support class. She puts out mediocre damage with her **Six-Shooter** pistol but can mitigate 60% of damage with her **Tarot Mitsun**. She can resurrect fallen teammates quicker and counteract enemy kills with her **Hero Resurrect**. Lastly, she can keep herself and her teammates in the fight with her ultimate, **Bio Shop**.

## Primary Weapon: Six Shooter

Uplink's primary weapon is her six-shooter police revolver that she obtained via a friend of hers in the police force. It has mid damage output, dealing 15 damage on regular shots and 30 damage on headshots. She can switch her pistol's magazine out instantly and instead can fire healing grenades that heal 50 HP on impact and 30 HP on splashes. Her reload time is 3 seconds.

## First Ability: Tarot Mitsun

A card she crafted with the ability to heavily shield Uplink while it's active and use it to translocate, the **Tarot Mitsun**, when thrown, grants Uplink a shield that mitigates 60% damage while it is in the air. When the tarot hits the floor, the shield breaks and Uplink teleports to the Tarot. It will then go on cooldown for 6 seconds.

## Second Ability: Hero Resurrect

An ability she obtained via the supernatural abilities of her mentor, Zenyatta, Uplink can resurrect a deceased teammate if they have not been revived while they were downed. She can also use the resurrect on downed teammates to pick them up faster. The resurrect takes three seconds, and when used on a deceased teammate who is awaiting a respawn, the teammate will respawn with full health. Using on a downed teammate will pick them up in 2 seconds, instead of the normal 5. Hero Resurrect has a cooldown of 20 seconds.

## Ultimate Ability: Bio Shop

An item she stole from an enemy that she murdered back during the **Cuba Incident**, the Bio Shop is a powerful totem consisting of three chips.

When Uplink puts down her Bio Shop, three miniature "chips" are accessible. Keep in mind these chips are also accessible to nearby enemies. If a teammate takes a chip, they'll shove it into themselves and grant themselves *Death Protection*, where their current health is shielded by their protective health. Once their protective health is drained, instead of being downed or dying, they will teleport back to the pole with full health but take less damage for the first few seconds of returning.

## Lore

*Born in Cuba, Uplink quickly adapted to the situation undergoing in her world and is forced to take action.*

### **Joining the Mercenaries**

Uplink joined the Mercenaries after being offered a position there as a combat medic by Lian, a Mercenaries executive. Uplink took the opportunity and was given a six shooter pistol, the ability to resurrect the dead by Zenyatta, and the necessary tools to craft something useful for herself by Kiriko. Uplink instantly entered the fight and became less innocent and started to thrive off of keeping her teammates alive while eliminating threats.

### **Cuba Incident**

When deployed on a mission to her hometown by the Mercenaries after a possible shooter was detected planning to assassinate peace activist Elena Foxx, the detection wasn't wrong, and found that three Blackwing agents and a notable evil, Eagle Strike were present in a nearby schoolhouse preparing to assassinate Foxx and start an uprising against the city's government, Uplink quickly acted and brought her fellow Mercenaries agents and Lian to assist her in the battle. When Uplink knocked down an agent discovered to be named Kitban, she walked towards him and knelt down with her pistol aimed at his chin. Kitban had actually been the person who betrayed the Mercenaries and ran off to join Blackwing, and Kitban was known for being gloomy and melancholy, so with the gun pointed below his chin, Uplink stated *"You should smile more."* before pulling the trigger and effectively killing Kitban, forcing the other two agents and Eagle Strike to flee. Uplink discovered Kitban's pole, which she found that it grants a shield to anyone who uses it, and so Uplink stole it from the deceased Kitban and used it as her own weapon against evil.

## Tips

* When low on health or in heavy need of escaping a conflict, throw out your tarot, then heal as soon as you land.
* Throw down your ultimate as soon as it is ready. The more health you have, the more shields you will when you ult.
* Risky resurrections are beneficial, especially when reviving your tank or another teammate with good damage output.
* Aim for the head when attempting to DPS with Uplink. Body shots don't put out much damage, meanwhile 7 headshots can take out most enemies.
