It’s time you got to know the pilots under your command in Grit and Valor - 1949.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing some detailed intel on our brave Resistance pilots and how you can make the most of their abilities on the battlefield. Starting with Emilia Rochefort!
Emilia Rochefort: Repair Pilot
Nationality: French
Age: 22
Special Ability: Mech Repair
Biography
Growing up on a farm in a rural Alsace village, Emilia was fascinated with the way things worked. From an early age she’d take apart her toys and household appliances just to put them back together again. She was always tinkering with something. As she grew older, she began repairing and greatly enhancing her family farm’s agricultural equipment.
By 18 she'd already become an immensely talented engineer, but when the Axis invaded Emilia's family farm was reduced to ash. She joined the Resistance soon after, applying her exceptional skills to the Resistance’s new Mech Command division.
Personality Traits
Emilia is deeply curious, always seeking to understand the "why" behind everything. Her unmatched resilience drives her to believe that nothing—whether a machine or a mech—is beyond repair. This hopeful outlook drives her on the battlefield where she is pragmatic, focused, and unwavering.
Pilot Special Ability: Mech Repair
Naturally, Emilia Rochefort’s mechanical prowess allows her to make on-the-fly repairs to the mechs she pilots on the battlefield.
This Ability can be effective in several ways. Use it offensively – deploying Emilia’s mech on the front line and effectively turning your mech into a ‘tank’ unit, soaking up damage before repairing yourself.
Alternatively, you can use it defensively, keeping your repair ability in reserve for a noble last stand.
Whichever way you choose to deploy it, Emilia's Special Ability can have a significant impact on your chances of surviving a run - so be sure to use it!
