ASH

Behold the patron saint of the Orokin school of political assassination. Ash specializes in stealth. The edge of his blade is sooner felt than seen.

Ash goes invisible with Smoke Screen, then uses Bladestorm to mark and execute a whole room with guaranteed true-damage finishers, mopping up stragglers with Teleport or melee. He's a solo assassin pick built for fast, repeatable room clears, not a team support or AoE nuke frame.
