Evolve is slowly revealing the rest of its Hunter launch lineup, with the last Trapper and Support players being revealed earlier this month. Today, the third and final Medic has been revealed with a new gameplay video, and she's sporting some pretty heavy-duty weaponry for a doctor.
Stats Are Out From Turtle Rock's Evolve Big Alpha
Caira Diaz is the third Medic that will ship with Evolve at its February launch. Packing a grenade launcher, Caira uses this weapon as both her means of healing and dealing damage. Her healing grenades allow her to provide her team with some are-of-effect healing, while her napalm grenades offer her a way to get some damage over time going on the enemy Monster.
Caira carries an acceleration field, which lets her and teammates near her enjoy an impressive burst in run speed. Of course, she also has access to the healing burst that all Medics use.
Evolve's Third And Final Support Hunter Is Announced
Caira's most noticeable unique feature that separates her from the game's other Medics is her area-of-effect healing grenades. Because she heals in an area, she can heal multiple teammates at a time, including herself. The trade-off here is that she can't lock on to allies with her grenade launcher, meaning that every healing grenade requires a skillshot. For a player with good aim, though, Caira can become a powerful asset to a team.
Caira is also useful for getting around a map quickly. By have an entire team utilize her acceleration field, players can track a Monster efficiently while keeping their jetpacks fully charged for the actual confrontation.
Evolve will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC systems starting February 10.
