Dalton

dalton’s most useful quality is balance. even while spending much of their time on controller, they carry enough combat weight to avoid becoming a purely administrative presence, and their omen work can give way to chamber or phoenix without the whole approach falling apart. the kill-to-death balance is particularly telling: dalton can keep adding value without a spectacular streak, because they tend to leave the round in better shape than they found it.

rising tides split 1 was the clearest landmark in a sequence that began at the oce showdown and continued through both split appearances, grassroots qualifiers, and txg’s may circuit. that run suggests a player whose flexibility has practical purpose rather than being a collection of spare options. dalton can hold a lane, take a fight, or become the extra body when a plan starts to fray. the ceiling is plainly high, while the broader team results remain a shade less convincing than the individual work. their best rounds are built on steadiness with teeth.
