Overview
Thompson is a Force Shield SMG, becoming fully immune to damage for a short duration with her Skill.
While Force Shield SMGs can be very powerful in the right situation (which are almost exclusively in Ranking), they also have two notable issues:
- A long ICD of 8 seconds. Enemies will reach you much earlier than this.
- Extremely low uptime. Force Shielders can be relied upon to prevent high burst damage over a short duration, but after this they have no defensive options for a very long time.
As Force Shield Mods exist, any pre-mod Force Shielder is not recommended. This includes Thompson.
