Hera

Description
The Hera is a semi-automatic flywheels blaster that shoots High-Impact RIVAL rounds. It is sort of a successor to the Zeus in a more compact package. People prefer the Hera over the Zeus due to its compactness and better ergonomics, as reloading the Zeus was quite cumbersome. It is part of the Phantom Corps line that is sort of a 'rogue' team in the RIVAL series that can join either Team Blue or Team Red.

In-Game
In-game the Hera is a very powerful and formidable secondary. Being semi-automatic with a relatively high capacity for a secondary. It is the only semi-automatic secondary (that doesn't require a gampass). It has decent accuracy, decent range, and a good mobility. This makes it a great gun for people looking to play Scouts and for Run 'n Gun tactics.

Usage / Gameplay
In-game the Hera fills the role of an SMG, being lightweight and having high mobility, with a good firerate and quick handling to boot. Though this might not get as much use as your primary, it is still definitely a formidable weapon even to enemies using good primaries. You can use the Hera to run around and dodge attacks while spraying the enemy, which is a viable tactic due to its semi-automatic fire, its high mobility, and its good accuracy. However spraying too quickly means reloads will be frequent, especially with only 12 rounds in a magazine compared to the standard 18 of most semi-automatics. Still, 12 rounds should be more than enough to take down any enemy.

This is generally a great blaster, having the firing capabilities of the Zeus paired with the quick handling and mobility of a typical secondary, while still giving you the option for a primary blaster.
