Kabb Uppercut
Best build for Kabb Uppercut
Front line
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.
A turn
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.

Background
In a past life, heavyweight boxer Kabb Uppercut was famed for his eponymous signature strike. But in the decades since, he's made his credits as a freelance enforcer and surveillance specialist. Kabb was one of Hawks' first hires, and has proven himself a loyal, if curmudgeonly, mainstay of Zero Company's field team.
Note from Kabb
Left on the Den's datapad while Kabb Uppercut is away.
Flighty-nighty makes contritey, verray. But old Kabbney-foes are the grudge-drudging, trouble-stirring. Kabbney the soon-return, not-concern.
Blods not the Kabbney radio-touching. Kabbney-knowing.

Starting bonds
Where Kabb's bond with each named operator stands when the campaign opens, before anything is earned or lost. Hard starts every pair a tier lower and Expert two; the ladder itself is on the campaign page.

Dilemmas
Every dilemma splits the roster. Taking an option Kabb backs earns bond between everyone who wanted it and Hawks, and costs bond between them and whoever argued the other way.
