Col Pros and Strength

Act Again by Defeating From the Back or Side

Col's strength is that his Trait [Killer Instinct] allows him to Act Again when defeating an enemy with an attack from the back or side. If you can defeat the enemy you can retreat or attack again, so both survivability and damage output are high.

More Powerful at Rank 7

Col's true value will be demonstrated by unlocking the Passive Skill [Omen of Death], which becomes available at Rank 7. This ability not only restores 2 NRG each time you defeat an enemy, but it also stacks 'Feverish Beast,' enhancing your critical hit rate and granting life steal effects. By combining this with Act Again, you can take down multiple foes and boost your own power.

Strengthening Allies and Invisibility Are Also Powerful

In addition to defeating enemies, you can also enhance your [Alacrity] allies with his aura. Furthermore, when you become invisible with the Rank 3 Skill [Mask], your opponents won’t be able to target you individually, allowing you to perform covert actions and block paths. This makes him versatile and valuable in a wide range of situations.

Col has many useful skills, with the Rank 7 faction aura being compelling, so it's recommended to prioritize unlocking it using "Castalia". The Rank 3 Move+2 skill "Assault" and the Rank 11 skill "Traceless Shadow," which allows you to teleport behind an enemy after dodging, are also valuable in certain situations. It's a good idea to unlock these when you have the resources.
