Is Snowshine good?
Snowshine plays a straightforward tank-and-healer role. Her coordinated skill automatically heals whoever drops below 60% HP, so she doesn't need precise timing to be useful. Her ultimate can force a Freeze on enemies too, which gives her a niche in Shatter comps on top of the healing.
She's an easy pickup for Cold teams that already have 
Last Rite as the main attacker.
Pairs well with: Last Rite.
Strengths
- Coordinated skill auto-heals whoever falls below 60% HP
- Ultimate can force enemies into Freeze
- Simple to use without precise timing

Background
"No frigid cold or blizzard is gonna stop me!
I'll be your most reliable shield!"
Snowshine is a Rhodes Island Operator assigned to Endfield Industries where she serves as a search and rescue (SAR) specialist following the framework agreement between the two companies.
For well-known reasons, the polar region of Talos-II remains a forbidden area to humanity.
However, as efforts to expand the frontier resume, professionals like Snowshine who specialize in the geography of polar and high-altitude regions are in high demand within the Civilization Band.
Because of the significant talent gap, Snowshine and her rescue team are always faced with a busy schedule, even on days with no special missions.
But despite her packed schedule, she wrote a book titled Polar Survival Guide during her free time.
The book has become a source of essential guides for surviving and conducting SAR operations in the cold, snowy environments of Talos-II.
"The brilliant lights of Talos remind me of the grand auroras that I once witnessed..."
