Is April good?
April goes after flying enemies first and hits harder than other Marksman Snipers of her rarity, though she's paying for that with lower HP and DEF. Getting redeployed is cheap and quick thanks to Experienced Hunter, and her passive camouflage briefly hides her right after she drops in, though AoE attacks and enemy abilities still find her through it.
She struggles to burn down tanky drones like Imperial Artillery Targeteer or Raptor quickly. We rank her B tier, solid against air threats but not an answer to everything.
Strengths

- Cheap, fast redeployment
- Briefly camouflaged right after deploying
Weaknesses
- Lower HP and DEF than other Marksman Snipers her rarity
- Struggles against tanky drones
- Camouflage doesn't stop AoE damage

Background
A Rim Billitonian Cautus huntress, Aerlie was raised by her parents' company after their death in a working accident and trained in marksmanship, eventually becoming a skilled huntress.
After contracting Oripathy, Airlie was forced to resign and left her hometown, but she did not regret her decision and joined Rhodes Island to find a new calling in her life, taking up her codename "April" from the title of her favorite song.
She shows interest in fashion and befriended Orchid and Utage who have similar interests.
Hunt to the Beat: April's got her own rules for jungle survival.
First, wait for the right moment, watch how things pan out, cover your breathing, and always strike first.
Next, be flexible, adapt, keep switching up your position, and never panic no matter the jam you're in.
Lastly, no putting music on during the hunt, but you can hum a tune to lift your teammates' spirits.
