Review
John Mason is a Ranger employee that focuses more on helping his teammates than on doing damage. Not only can his EMP Granade cancel any barriers, but also it can Silence whoever is struck in the pretty wide explosion. With a CDR set, the EMP cooldown can be lowered significantly, but sadly not enough to perma-Silence someone. Still, when paired with Mone, Mason becomes a staple in Guild Raid coop because together they can make the boss there a sitting duck and he won't ever use his devastating ultimate skill.
Sadly, in PVP he is rarely used because there are better Silencers there (like Choi Jihoon) and in Mecha deck there are cheaper and better options than him.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- can Silence enemies, which makes him BIS for Guild Coop,
- good buffer for Mechs.
Cons
- high cost,
- useless in PVP in the current meta.
