Blog post coming soon. What is below comes from our tier-list notes until the full write-up is published.
Strengths
- Ghost in the Machine — game-changing when used well — the single reason to pick her.
- Holographic Decoy is underrated — buys position and misdirection that most opponents do not play around.
- Combat Salvage for Vultures — the same Vulture-spam engine Forge gets, which is one of the strongest late-game UNSC plans.
Weaknesses
- Almost nothing unique — outside Best Defense buffing Scorpions and Nightingales, she builds the same army every other UNSC leader does.
- Her wheel is largely Forge's — a lot of overlap, so there is little reason to pick her over him for the same plan.
- Named among the weakest in the game — our own Pavium guide lists her alongside Anders as a leader only Pavium might be worse than.

The Best Offense
PassiveIsabel's ultimate — gives Nightingales and Scorpions a health boost plus a shield.
UnscScorpionTech
Cast frequency — how often players actually pick each power — needs the meta-stats powers query, which is the one tab with no Supabase rollup behind it. Left off deliberately so a leader page costs no D1 reads.
Unique units
No exclusive roster units — Best Defense buffs standard Scorpions and Nightingales.
