Emilia

Background
"You've got to be kidding me. Lured into a blind alleym attacked by a bunch of psycho gun nuts, a gut shot partner, and now Captain Mayhem shows up? - Emilia De Soto" Emilia De Soto is a police officer in Reiker City. She was a paramedic before, but after seeing the futility of constantly patching up after criminals already got to do their handiwork she joined the police force to prevent the need for paramedics' intervention.

UPLIFT
Her capacity to use Blunt Melee Weaponry and Bladed Melee Weaponry equally effectively, equal Skill in Melee and Ranged combat as well as high carry capacity (helpful for a Combat Medic) make her a great choice for a Support position in the Assault Team.

Emilia starts at 27 UPLIFT points, as opposed to Sam's 25. This is a fair advantage in terms of Core Stats.

Combat Role
Emilia is by far the best Combat Medic in the game and she fills the role of Support and generalist when selectd as part of the Assault Team.

Emilia is not specialized in one type of combat, making her a generalist. Generalists are poor combatants when need to be tailored to a specific role, but are never truly useless. Because of this, Emilia can be both backline Support and frontline Support if the situation calls for it.

Emilia is by far the greatest Combat Medic in the game thanks to her unique Perk and not even Sam Contino can catch up or outperform her.

Strategic Role
Emilia is also useful on a Strategic Layer, as she has a lot of Skills tailored especially for that. Her high Crafting and Medicine, as well as decent Surveillance, allow her to fill many roles effectively.
