10/10
(Let me remind you, that the whole guide – my subjective opinion, which may differ from your)

Glitch
Stormtrooper
Gl1tch – stormtrooper, member of Rogue Company, who specializes in breaking through defense or creating opportunities to advance his team. Glitch can hack enemies, penetrating their systems, and can detect enemy equipment even through walls. When hacked, gadgets such as C4 and Ballistic Knife, explode. Enemy agents cannot use abilities and gadgets, their minimap is disabled. Glitch's ability is similar to EMP, but last a little longer.

Weapon:

• SKL-6 (Shotgun)
• LMP-X (PP)
• Executioner (Pistol)
• Bits

Gadgets:

• Semtex

I highly recommend the character, with one button you can destroy all enemy defenses, LMP-X – the best PP in the game will help you cope with enemies.
9.5/10

Phantom
Sniper
Phantom – sniper, member of Rogue Company, which does great damage in long-range combat. Her ability “nano smoke” identifies enemies, in the area of ​​smoke. Her passive ability delays enemy health regeneration, when he takes damage from a firearm. (Best of the two snipers so far)

If you have experience playing other shooters, then shooting with a Phantom rifle will seem incredibly simple. but, if you have problems with aim, then it is better to wait with the purchase of Phantom.
8.5/10

You
Defender
You – defender, member of Rogue Company, which focuses on poisoning targets and slowing down the enemy's advance. Vee has the ability to create a pool of poison and reduce the maximum health of enemies, if they are in it (2 hp for tick). Her passive ability allows her to gain additional health, if it reduces the enemy's health with poison. (Up to 125)
V protects from enemies, who attack on the front lines, pushing them away, so that they do not enter the territory of her team.

Weapon:

You – one of the best defenders, in skillful hands, it can receive an increase in hp in each round. She's not only good at defense, poison helps to occupy a point during an attack. I do not recommend using gas grenades, they can hinder you and your team.
8/10

Siker
Scout
Siker – this is a scout, member of Rogue Company, who helps his team to collect information about the positions of the enemy (Highlights outlines). Seeker uses a compound bow and arrow, to detect enemies. Seeker deals additional damage to 80% when arrows and gadgets bounce off walls and other surfaces.
Seeker must remain in the rear and provide auxiliary fire. He can also watch the flanks., when it is necessary, as well as detect enemies ahead, so his teammates know their positions.

Weapon:

• Sahara (ШВ)
• Although L2-12 (Marksman rifle)
• A3 Salvo (Pistol)
• Bits

Gadgets:

• Ricochet-grenade

Siker – improved version of Dallas, the weapon is stronger and the ability can reveal the positions of more than one, but all opponents at once. At the start of the game, I definitely can't recommend this character, you need to know the maps well, to make the most of its benefits.
6/10

Scorch
Duel
Scorch – duel, member of Rogue Company, who wins combat encounters and trades with the enemy team. She can set enemies on fire and deal additional damage. She is also immune to fire.. (Important: when you are in enemy fire, the enemy will be given hints, giving out your location)
Scorch can single-handedly defeat an entire team, don't pay much attention to the role of the duelist. Her damage can make enemies think twice, to be in her sight. (The sound of activating the ability is heard by the enemy team)

Weapon:

• SL-C (PP)
• Arbitrator (Shotgun)
• A3 Salvo (Pistol)
• Rosie – Scorch's hand (Important: impossible to throw, bought automatically)

Gadgets:

• Incendiary grenade
• EMP grenade

Scorch – great agent to start the game, but it is worth considering the cons: lack of throwing weapons and weak gadgets, also it will be quite difficult to use Arbitrator at first. Scorch is not worth buying in the beginning, it's better to get it after 2-3 other agents.
7.5/10

Dahlia
Support
Dahlia – support, member of Rogue Company, who provides combat assistance to her teammates. Dahlia can contact one of her squad members, to revive them from afar, if they fall (Radius limited, to trigger the ability, you must be at a distance of no more 30 meters from your linked ally).

Weapon:

• Objection (PP)
• MX-R (Marksman rifle)
• Executioner (Pistol)
• Katana

Gadgets:

• Grenade
• Smoke

Dahlia – definitely not a character to start the game, it is necessary to remember the passive abilities of all characters, understand the perks, know, what to buy first, play in an assembled team. I recommend playing with friends, to bind to the right agents and give information to each other.
4.5/10

Chuck
Duel
Chuck – duel, member of Rogue Company, who wins combat encounters and trades with the enemy team. Chuck uses a stimulant, with its help, he can independently get up from a wounded position or increase his health to 160 for a short period of time.

Chuck – great choice at the start. You can get comfortable with the game thanks to his abilities, weapons and gadgets are also not very bad. If you are a solo player and play frags, you will definitely like him.
9/10

Fixer
Sniper
Fixer – sniper, member of Rogue Company, which does great damage in long-range combat. His heat vision ability allows him to see enemy heat signatures through smoke, giving him the ability to attack hidden enemies. His passive ability, slows enemies down when dealing firearm damage.
Like a sniper, The fixer must stay away from enemies and help allies from afar. In chaotic battles, including smoke, he must destroy enemies, that his teammates can't see.

Weapon:

• Tyr (ST)
• D3D-i (Marksman rifle)
• Warrant (Pistol)
• Bits

Gadgets:

• S4
• Cassette smoke

Fixer is much more difficult Phantom. The developers didn't like him for some reason and they continue to nerf him every patch.. His rifle is unforgiving – reload after each shot. Fixer's ability is very situational, smokes needed, to implement it (Attention: thermal imager does not work through phantom nano smoke). This character is more suitable for professionals, rather than beginners.
3/10

Kestrel
Duel
Kestrel – duel, member of Rogue Company, who wins combat encounters and trades with the enemy team. Kestrel uses high-tech mini-drones to bombard enemies with explosive rocket fire.. Wounding the enemy, Kestrel will receive an additional 500 dollars. (Before the nerf I received 1000)

Weapon:

• Riptide (ШВ)
• Knight (PP)
• P12K (Pistol)
• Kukri

Gadgets:

• Adrenaline
• Ricochet-grenade

Kestrel – strong character, with proper use of halo drones, you can kill several enemies at once. Adrenaline will help you survive stressful situations, and extra money will never be superfluous. It can kill itself with its ability, so you need to be careful when using it. However, the perks are a bit disappointing..
8/10

Sigrid
Stormtrooper
Sigrid – stormtrooper, member of Rogue Company, who specializes in breaking through defense or creating opportunities to advance their team. Sigrid can activate the shield, which blocks incoming damage. Her passive ability allows Sigrid to move faster., when she squats, and does not receive any speed penalties. (Trench barbed wire, Vee's gas grenade)
Sigrid may be the most valuable in the team, if played correctly, it's hard to kill her. Her shield gives her many opportunities to defeat the enemy., can be very helpful to teammates.

Weapon:

• D40-C (PP)
• S12 Tactical (Shotgun)
• Warrant (Pistol)
• Throwing ax

Gadgets:

• Semtex
• Adrenaline

The gameplay for Sigrid is complicated – it is necessary to use literally everything. It is very difficult to buy the necessary perks, gadgets and pump weapons early in the game, pumping to the pistol is also necessary, because using the shield Sigrid shoots from a pistol. Can be a very annoying character in the right hands, new players, in turn, will find it very stressful to play for Sigrid and at the same time feel comfortable. Do not recommend, the character is really choking, if the team gave the first couple of rounds to the enemy, then be ready to run without your main weapon until the end of the game.
2.5/10

Lancer
Duel
Lancer – duel, member of Rogue Company, winning combat clashes and exchanging power with the enemy team. Her unique ability temporarily increases her movement speed and mutes her steps. (Completely removes the sound of running on 14 seconds). Her passive ability allows her to automatically reload her weapon while dodging..

Weapon:

• 24S (PP)
• Striker 8×10 (Shotgun)
• Spitfire (Pistol)
• Throwing ax

Gadgets:

• Semtex
• Smoke

Lancer – currently meta. The strongest character, who definitely needs nerfs instead of buffs (Previously, the duration of her ability was 10 seconds).
If Raises Anvil Machine Gun, it becomes a killing machine. Many people dislike Lancer because of his OP abilities, so if you are going to play for her, get ready to listen to negativity. I will recommend it at the same time and will not recommend it., if you want to really learn to play the game well, use other characters, it's never too late to run on imba.
9/10

Blade
Stormtrooper
Blade – this is a stormtrooper, member of Rogue Company, who specializes in advancing through defense or creating opportunities to advance his team. Blade wields a napalm grenade launcher, which is called Chaos Launcher, and gains an increase in movement speed after, how he uses his ability or gadget.

Weapon:

• MLX Mark 4 (ШВ)
• 24S (PP)
• Spitfire (Pistol)
• Bits

Gadgets:

• Ricochet-grenade
• Flashbang grenade

At the moment Blade is a new character. Her ability is very strong and I am sure, that she will be nerfed, therefore, I advise you to postpone the purchase of Blade. It provides good crowd control and is capable of killing the entire enemy team with one blast from the rocket launcher.. Passive ability and perks leave a lot to be desired, but this creates at least some balance. Blade's best counter-pick is Scorch., be careful, if you know that she is on the enemy team.
7.5/10

Mak
Defender
Mak – defender, member of Rogue Company, able to defend points or other important objects with a light bomb. Once placed, the bomb will automatically blind enemies in the radius after a while, Mack can activate the explosion himself, pressing the active ability button again. It starts with 25 units of armor, which recovers after wounding an enemy.

Weapon:

• Conviction LMG (Machine gun)
• Objection (PP)
• Warrant (Pistol)
• Claymore

Gadgets:

• Grenade
• Active protection system

Mak – character for players with experience. An unusual set of weapons and perks make Mac an interesting agent. An active ability is often useless, the installation can be broken, yes and if you are hiding behind any cover, it won't blind you. To play well as a Mac, you need to know the positioning and some timings., because of all this, it is not suitable for new players.
