Brilliant astrophysicist Siebren de Kuiper gained the ability to control gravity when an experiment went horribly wrong. Now, Talon manipulates him to their own ends.
Sigma is tank with a complete kit. He has blocks that can turn enemy attacks to shields, a ranged stun attack, and a mobile shield. What more could you want? He can also be devastating while throwing his balls (Hyperspheres) around the battlefield.
The celebrated astrophysicist Siebren de Kuiper’s life changed forever when a failed experiment gave him the ability to control gravity but splintered his mind. Now, he struggles to maintain his connection to reality, unaware that Talon is manipulating him to their own ends

There’s no incentive to try and blast enemies from afar using Sigma’s Hyperspheres. His primary attacks has a limited range and can only deal damage up to mid-range. They also bounce around if you throw them at walls and at the ground. However, these balls can be damaging when used in an enclosed space so throw them if you find yourself attacking or defending a room or corridor!
If you and your team find it hard to go through a bottleneck, use Sigma’s shield to protect you as you traverse. This shield can be moved farther the longer you hold the button so use it well to add distance and keep you and your team covered.
Earthshatter allows Sigma to throw a huge chunk of rock to knock down enemies and immobilize them. Try not to use this on very mobile enemies and use it to disable tanks and supports.
