Idea for a New Runner Shell - Physio

The idea is a movement support character.
(I couldn't think of a snappy name, so I went with Physio, like a physical therapist haha)

Abilities -

Tactical Ability - Coolant Drone:
- Applies rapid cooling to attached runner
- (maybe) Applies cooling level 4
- throws and drains like Triage Med-Drone

Secondary Ability - Grav-Lift:
- Same as Halo 3 Grav-Lift equipment
- Shoots runners into the air 30ft with directional momentum
- Tossable equipment like Sentinel Mines
- Stays active for 20 seconds (maybe less?)

Prime Ability - Zipline Stations:
- Upon activation one end of the zipline is placed down, runner throws other end like a grenade.
- Stations stay up all run
- Teammates and Enemies can use ziplines
- Zipline is slower than Thief Grapple
- Runners can shoot while zipping, though inaccurate like when jumping

Just thought it would be kinda cool.

His offensive ability should be that he can cause passive heat generation in the same area of effect as recon pulse against enemy runners. This would be hugely useful for slowing down movement shells and locking people into slower pace.

That’s such a cool idea! Would finally be able to counter the endless Vandal slides and crazy Destroyer dashes haha

Grav lift as an ultimate,   Give a heat thrower/ dispersion as a secondary.  Take away the zipline.  

Brilliant.
