Composed mostly of cybernetic enhancements, Baptiste is a peerless tactician with an unwavering moral compass, making her an indispensable ally… or a terrifying foe.
Baptiste is a Support that packs quite a punch with his Biotic Launcher. His kit is wholly about protecting allies and healing them up from a good range. His burst rifle, though not as powerful as others’ weapons, can be used reliably to deal damage from afar. He also compliments this with abilities such as instant AoE heal and an AoE invulnerability gadget. His greatest weakness however, is that his abilities have long cooldowns. This can make him a punishing hero to control as misusing an ability can be debilitating to your team’s ability to fight and survive.
An elite combat medic, Baptiste was lured into Talon by the promise of easy riches. Later, disgusted with what he had done, he deserted Talon to forge a new path for himself. Now he works toward a better world, healing where he can and fighting when he must.

Immortality Field is an extremely useful skill provided that you use it well. It plants a floating device that renders all allies within its range invulnerable to enemy attacks. Use this to survive damaging ultimates and time it well. Also note that the enemy can end the effects by shooting the Immortality Field device so defend it when you can.
An AoE heal that originates from Baptiste’s position, Regenerative Burst can give your team the needed HP to end a match. Use this when the team gets damaged by AoE attacks or if you find yourself surrounded by wounded teammates. One important thing about this ability is that it doubles the recovered HP for allies that are below 50% HP.
Amplification Matrix allows you and your teammates to deal more damage and more heals if you fire through it. Make good use of it by placing it in places where allies can take advantage of their attacks and skills. The Amplification Matrix can be crucial during the final minutes of a defense or attack.
