## Arsenal

Dahlia plays as an all-around Support rogue, playing different roles in each situation she faces. Her great offensive and defensive capabilities make her a very versatile threat.

### Weapons

* **Objection:** An SMG that excels at close range because of its extremely fast fire rate. Although, that very reason is why this weapon is map dependent, mainly to be used in close areas (corridors, small fields, small rooms, etc.) to be effective. Dahlia can take down enemies very quickly with this weapon and can provide great cover fire when backing up teammates in close engagements.
* **MX-R:** A longer ranged weapon for Dahlia, allowing her to be one of the few Rogues in the game that can swap between short-ranged and long-ranged weapons for different engagements. This weapon is useful for backing up teammates when at a further distance and it's damage paired with it's fire rate makes it a good weapon. It's recoil is low, making it an easier DMR to use for most users.
* **Executioner:** A well-rounded secondary weapon that fits almost any situation when needed of use. It deals moderate damage and behaves as a short ranged DMR, offering versatility to mid distances as well as further distances. However, it is fairly difficult to control and has one of the longest reload times of other pistols.

### Abilities

* **Danger Closer:** Dahlia's main ability, which allows her to link to teammates and revive them. She can revive them from afar, with a maximum distance of 30 meters, and will not be in a vulnerable state while doing so. With her passive, she can visualize her linked ally's health bar and distance between the both of them. The distance (in meters) changes color depending how far you are from your teammate:
	+ Blue (0-20 m): You are close to your teammate.
	+ Yellow (21-30 m): You and your teammate are somewhat far from one another.
	+ Red (31-∞ m): You are not within range of your teammate.
* **Buddy System:** Dahlia's passive ability, which allows Dahlia to gain the passive of her linked teammate. Some Rogues have good passives, whilst others have lesser effective ones. A list of passive from effective to ineffective:

* Rogues you should prioritize to obtain a passive from: Kestrel, Lancer, Mack, Phantom, Saint, Trench and Umbra.
* Rogues with passives outclassed by the ones mentioned, but still useful: Glimpse, Switchblade and Vy.
* Rogues with situational passives: Anvil, Dallas, Gl1tch, Ronin, Runway, Scorch, Sigrid and The Fixer.
* Rogues with mediocre passives and usually avoidable: Cannon, Chaac, Dima, Juke, Seeker and Talon.

### Gadgets

* **Grenade:** A simple yet very effective tool, used to clear out groups of enemies and give advantage to her team.
* **Active Protection System:** To balance her offense and defense capabilities, Dahlia is also equipped with an APS. A very effective tool used to neutralize projectiles, including lethal gadgets, utility gadgets, and projectile abilities such as Dima's MIRV Launcher, Switchblade's Chaos Launcher, Seeker's Arrow, etc. It proves to be an excellent defensive tool to prevent enemy advantage.

### Perks

* Dahlia's rare perks provide bonuses to her damage output, whilst her epic and legendary perks are focused on a combination of improving her survivability and effectiveness to her ability. Overall, her perks maximizes her capabilities as a combative healer.
	+ Shredder Rounds, Crackshot and Blaster all increase Dahlia's damage output, providing her combat benefits to takedown enemies easier.
	+ Bounce Back and Tenacity improves Dahlia's survivability. As a support Rogue, one should prioritize staying alive to provide as much support that they can to their teammates.
	+ Lifeline and Energized provides effectiveness to Dahlia's ability, allowing her to consistently revive teammates in multi-life game modes.

## Strategy

Dahlia is easily the most versatile Rogue, able to adapt to any situation when paired with the right team. She is a support Rogue that is best effective when engaging the enemy by the sides of her teammates. When executing strategies accordingly, Dahlia and her team can create some very impressive plays.
