Usage
The player should blanket an area with the ability Cloak arrow bubbles around the defensive target, an open area is more ideal if the target is an NPC. While the bubble is active, the player and allies are immune to status effects.
The player should then attack enemies from the safety of the bubble. Snipe enemy heads capitalizing on sharpshooter augment and regain energy when needed. Use the melee weapon when multiple enemies are grouped close to the player. If a mob of enemies is present, cast the ability sleep arrow to put the enemies to sleep, allowing the player and allies to dispense enemies with ease. The player's sentinel (carrier prime) will offer utility to vacuum drops to the player, that will ensure that ammo isn't becoming an issue and the chosen weapon will debuff enemies making it easier to dispense them quickly.

Counters
Corpus Nullifier bubbles and isolator bursa are the only real counter to this build, as they can instantly dispell any of the abilities the player uses. Use your long range melee to dispense corpus Nullifiers and snipe isolator bursa units quickly.
it's worth noting that the only defence targets she can turn invisible are the defense targets, so in most cases you should be 'blanketing the area' with sleep arrows instead. also I'm still not sure if i understand the point of status immunity when you're invisible. could do with a lot more focus, particularly on things that are actually useful in combination
