arbiter

arbiter’s introduction is unusually assertive for a controller, with omen doing more than decorating the minimap while fade and miks add a flexible edge. their best contribution was not simply putting smokes in the right places; it was finding ways to enter the fight and come out with enough value to keep the round moving. that makes the role contrast the main attraction here.

there is a pleasing bit of mischief in a player who can spend one phase shaping a site and the next appear where the duel has started. arbiter was not flawless, and the broader delivery still needs consistency before this becomes a commanding identity. nevertheless, the first showing carries genuine weight. the combat came through, the early exchanges did not consistently tilt away from them, and the controller slot looked capable of producing more than safe, background work.
