Introduction

Is Pinecone good?
Pinecone hits everything in her range at once, with whatever's directly in front taking extra damage, and carries unusually high HP and DEF for a
Sniper. RMA Spikes ignores enemy DEF entirely and can stack multiple charges, while Electrical Overcharge ramps her ATK up further the longer it's active.
She's a solid B, though her range is short (and gets shorter still under Overcharge), her attack interval runs high, and Portable Energy Source's SP boost only lasts for a minute after she's deployed rather than sticking around.

- Hits every enemy in range with bonus damage up front
- High HP and DEF for a
Sniper - RMA Spikes ignores enemy DEF and stacks charges
- Electrical Overcharge ramps up ATK over time
Weaknesses
- Very short attack range, shorter still under Overcharge

Background
RPR-X: Rhodes Island Cafeteria.
"Hello, everyone! Tonight we have a special report on the 'Hidden Singer!' I'm your host, Click!
Let's start by interviewing the operator standing right here.
Hello, Mina, you must have heard of the 'hidden singer,' right?"
"Uh... not really."
"It's been causing quite a buzz! The whole thing is so strange.
For an entire week, the cafeteria speakers played a song at the same time every morning.
But when fans of the song asked around, the broadcast room staff insisted that no one had played any music or sung in there!"
"Ah, I've been up on the scaffold each morning this week, refinishing the wall, so I must've missed it.
Shucks, what a shame."
"Then maybe you can help us, Mina. Based on the accent and lyrics, I'm pretty sure the voice belongs to a Colombian operator!
She was singing: Onward! Onward! Dig! Dig!
Build! Build! Our city must keep growing!"
"The dust falls in our eyes, as the towers rise—wait, you got me singing along!
Haha!"
"Yes, exactly! That's how it goes! Wait, your voice sounds somewhat similar...
but they sang with so much more energy!"
"If you don't belt your heart out on the worksite, the foreman'll think you're slacking.
But if you ask me who else know this song..."
"—Yes, very suspicious indeed. Mina, you're used to singing at work, and it just so happens that every time this mysterious singing started, you were on the job?
