Analysis

Kang Soyoung, the road-rage terror that makes any sniper tremble when they see her appear on the battlefield. Or rather hear, because the sound of tires screeching often is the last thing they hear before staring into the incoming lights of her car that murders them. To make things worse, she's a paratrooper which means she can reach anyone and anywhere.

On top of that, she also makes nearby Soldier units stronger, so in PVE, you can easily use her on auto-play and she will buff everyone nearby. There are also some places that can be cheesed thanks to her - like the first five stages of Challenge Mode Act 3, where she can bully Karin Wong to death.

Overall, she's a top-tier disruptor employee in PVP and a disruptor/buffer in PVE. For a 2 cost employee, it's ridiculous how good she is.

Dialogue

Action	Dialogue
Added to squad	All of you look stronger than I am. I'll be counting on you.
Appointed as branch manager	It's important you maintain composure no matter what you do.
Ascended	You must trust us police, helping us so much. Even if you don't, I'll work harder to repay you.
Battle failed	Ugh, I shouldn't have worked overtime last night...
Battle ready	What a nice view! I'll see you down there.
Battle won	Good job, everyone! Now, let's go home, shall we?
Branch missions finished	It's done. Can I get off now?
Branch missions started	I'll do whatever you say, Boss.
Enhanced	I feel much lighter on my feet. I bet now I can go on a stakeout for days at a time.

Leveled skills	I'm so lucky. I get to work out while most people work.
Lifetime battle failed	Mm, what happened just happened. I'll try harder next time.
Lifetime battle ready	I'm nearby and ready to move out whenever you want.
Lifetime battle won	This is settled for now. I don't have to write a situation statement, do I?
Lifetime contract completed	I'm used to seeing you more often than the Chief of Police. Maybe I should just move to this company as soon as I'm done with my current cases.
Lifetime lobby employee	If you don't think you can get to work on time, let me know. I can come pick you up.
Lifetime lobby touch 1	Shooting dual pistols is cool, isn't it? That's what I've been practicing. I'll show you how I do it later.
Lifetime lobby touch 2	Fighting a C.O. is easier than fighting human criminals. I don't have to cite Miranda rights or try to put handcuffs on them.
Lifetime lobby touch 3	You look exhausted. Want some police-issued vitamins?
Lifetime lobby touch 4	Hah hah... hah. It'll be hours before I can get off work. Boss, want to go get a drink somewhere later?

Lobby employee	Welcome. There's heavy traffic out there, isn't there?
Lobby touch 1	Why am I not wearing a police uniform? Because I'm in a plainclothes unit.
Lobby touch 2	Suspects that run away are easy to apprehend. Those who fight cops aren't.
Lobby touch 3	I act first and think later.
Lobby touch 4	Aah, I love working with experienced Counters. They make things so easy.
Negotiation failed	Hah hah. Well, okay. I'm sorry this happened. Excuse me now.

Negotiation start	Hah hah. Is it about the property damage I caused?
Negotiation success	Hah hah. I can't ask for more.
Promoted to leader	I can give you a ride, but you have medical insurance, right?
When pulled	I'm Lieutenant Kang Soyoung from SWAT 4. Leave the driving to me. I'm second to none when it comes to high-speed chases.
