BACKGROUND | Cohen was born and raised in Jerusalem. After secondary school, she enrolled at Tel Aviv University, in the Engineering program, where she did a semester abroad at Boston University. After college she performed her civic duty enlisting in the Israeli Defense Forces. Her background in engineering made her a prime candidate for mechanical maintenance and demolitions. |
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE | Her military training as a demolitions specialist has left Cohen with an inflated sense of self. She can be aggressive, impulsive, and overly confident. She is quick to action, which can be an asset or fatal for someone in her line of work |
TRAINING | Tel Aviv University: Bachelor of Science, Engineering / Israeli Air Force Shaldag / FBI SWAT (JINSA LEEP) |
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE | Second Lebanon War / Operation Orchard / Austere Challenge |
Type: Attacker
Ash is an operator specializing in breaching through walls from a distance. The Breaching Round takes an ample time to burrow and detonate, giving you and your teammates enough time to set-up. It is always recommended that at least two teammates accompany Ash in breaching through. The Breaching Round makes a lot of noise, a grand entrance indeed. The Breaching Round explosion provides a little bit of visual cover from the enemies for a short amount of time.
It is not just because Ash's armor rating is dismal that you need to protect her during the breach. The animation in switching from the Breaching Round to the primary and secondary takes a long, long time. She can't join the fight immediately when the other team is around the area right after breaching. Do not forget that since the Breaching Round is ranged, she can definitely breach through the ceilings.
Ash synergizes well with shielded allies namely Blitz and Montagne because they can follow up the Breaching Round with a push into the room while being protected. It seems like the Ash and the Sledge are overlapping in terms of skills, but they are not, in fact it is nice to have them both at the same time. Sledge / Ash combo will allow the team to breach through two places at the same time. The problem is, Ash cannot break through reinforced walls. Though the Breaching Round can still rip through Castle's Armor Panel.
