Review
Freelancer Kim Chowon is one of many middling frontline tanks that struggle to carve a niche for themselves. She is painfully average, with decent defensive stats and a low impact skill set. Kim Chowon’s main gimmick are the 3 mines that deploy alongside her, providing limited defensive utility to the backline by stunning enemies that trigger them. Kim Chowon is notable in that she is one of the few frontline tanks that can hit air units. She is otherwise unimpressive.
In PVE, Kim Chowon meets the baseline requirements expected of her as a frontline tank, and contributes nothing more to the team.
In PVP, Kim Chowon is considered one of the weaker options among the viable-but-not-meta frontline tanks. While her mines offer protection against aggressive striker-based comps and forward deploy units, it is often the case that the mines will not significantly affect the final outcome of a match. She does not have the stats or the kit to distinguish herself from the pool of stronger alternatives (e.g. Rearm Kaci, Rearm Alex), but for when those stronger alternatives are inevitably rotated out via the weekly ban system, she may see consideration as frontline for the week.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Mines will always impress when baseline performance expectations are at ground level.
- Can hit air.
- Objectively the best skin in the game.
Cons
- Low impact kit.
