Is Shaw good?
Shaw can deploy on either melee or ranged tiles and pushes enemies back with both her skills, which is handy for stalling attackers or shoving them straight into environmental hazards. High-Pressure Water Cannon gives her decent range and an early force-2 push for a manageable SP cost, and Fireproof Suit helps her survive Arts damage better than most Push Strokers.
She caps out at force 2, though, so she can't match the strongest pushes other Push Strokers manage, and outside of maps with holes or hazards she doesn't have much to offer.
Pairs well with: 
Angelina.
