Winston is a Watchers Rifleman who targets the lowest-AGI enemy with missile-themed tactical damage and small durability and destructive-might hooks. His focus-fire angle can help early picks, but he lacks the depth of higher-rarity INT riflemen. Rare and Advanced Elite carries quickly replace him with stronger skills, stats, and ultimate weapons.
