With high HP along with decently high defenses although his ATK is initially somewhat low, Mateo proves to be a threat with a variety of offensive tools that can put the pressure on Operators while coordinating his troops to assist him.
While not blocked, fires a burst of 10 shots, each dealing Physical damage equal to Mateo's ATK and the last shot also permanently reduces the target's DEF by 100 (Lv0)/150 (Lv1), which can stack without a limit.
Mateo is immune to Stun, Freeze and Levitate while using the Straight Shot.
Only used in the first phase.

"Lights Out!"
When taking damage, throws out three smoke bombs 1, 3, and 5 tiles ahead of Mateo, each releasing a smokescreen covering a radius of 1.3 tiles that renders enemies within invisible and lingers for 30 seconds.
