"Raythean industries stationed personnel, Corroserum. I'm sure you've had a look over the relevant contracts and forms. Then, please allow me to inform myself in regards to the work proceedings here."
-------------
Operator Corroserum, affiliated with Raythean Industries' Prototype Engineering department, assistant manager of a certain weapons research team. Currently dispatched to Rhodes Island due to related agreements, with the goal of initiating technological exchange and product testing. The precise details relevant to this cooperation as well as information made open to the public will be sent to the terminals of relevant personnel.
Doctor, just as we have determined previously in conferences and evaluations, these unconventional tactical personnel should be ideal for your arrangements in various roles in missions. If you so desire, we can immediately arrange a meeting with this operator in order to further discuss the implementation of this cooperation project.

First Impressions
Note: These are first impressions and based on conjecture since we don’t know the exact details.
After 2.5 years Ifrit finally gets another Operator in her Archetype! With the official Archetype name of "Blast Caster" announced, the best Archetype name ever will fade into history. RIP Ifrit, the Burninator!
The main drawback of this Archetype is the high DP Cost, something common among all AoE/Splash type Casters. People often say their range makes them niche or difficult to deploy, and it IS true that their range can limit their deploy positions and can require deployment strategy to revolve around them, but the range restriction is often over-estimated.
Ifrit is a very strong meta Operator, in large part because of her debuff abilities, though her damage is certainly nothing to scoff at. Corroserum lacks utility anywhere near as useful as Ifrit's debuffs, so it seems unlikely he'll make much of a meta impact. Both of his Skills ramp up his damage. The stun on S1 is unlikely to be much of a problem, considering it will be used for burst and he's a ranged Operator. With Silence not having much relevancy in challenging content, it is unlikely S2 will make much impact, but having a true AoE silence with a long range and duration could potentially be useful in some content, especially if more silence-able abilities are added in the future.
Will Corroserum Burninate the game the way Ifrit does? Or will his lack of debuffs drop him into the usefulness class of the AoE Caster Archetype?
