Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew | Afia Manicato Guide

Overview

Name: Afia Manicato

Role: Navigator – Handles maps and navigation on board. Chooses entry points and makes moment-to-moment decisions in
missions. She is the latest addition to my merry crew.

Skills:

• Blink: By drawing the sword from her chest, she can unhinge herself from space-time and instantly teleport from one place to
  another. After she teleports, she must quickly replace the sword or her body will become unstable.
• Time Freeze – She can also use this power to freeze a person in space-time for a few seconds with a snap of her fingers. The target remains completely unaware and freezed while this is happening, and continues what they are doing once the effect is over.

Skill Upgrade:

• Grand Blink: Unlock’s Afia’s Grand Blink, which has an increased range, and is not restricted by line of sight. This ability taxes Afia greatly, so it has limited uses.

Tips for using Afia Manicato

Afia has plenty of tricks up her sleeve to make her a viable crewmate on missions. Her Blink ability means she can not only travel a short distance instantly, but it also means she can kill foes from a distance too, which is very handy. She carries foes low which means she can do so in dashed viewcones too, which gives your more options when moving bodies. Her Time Freeze can be invaluable to effectively cancel out an enemy whilst you take out another. Just be wary that her takedown animation is long, and so it may be advised to use other crewmates if the timing is tight.
