Each one is the focus in the order it is spent, within the 24 focus an operator earns in a campaign, and each opens in the build planner with its ranks, weapon, mods and utility items set.
Kabb, the puncher
Uppercut is Kabb's talent, a 1 AP rush and punch that pushes the target backwards, and a push next to a drop is a kill regardless of health. Assault gives Fleet of Foot, +2.0m on the first move at rank three, and Sweeping Salvo, 4 Advantage for a cone that damages and Disorients everyone in it (a -20% chance-to-hit penalty on their ranged attacks). Strike The Flanks, the Assault starting passive, is +20% critical chance against Exposed enemies, and a pushed enemy is usually out of its cover.
Soldier second is Strength, +3 melee damage at rank two, which every punch uses, and Brutal Strike, a second 1 AP rush that Dazes. Armsmaster, the Soldier passive, adds +2 blaster and grenade damage on top.
Move with the first point, Uppercut, and use what is left on Brutal Strike or a rifle shot at close range. Sweeping Salvo when three or more are lined up.
