Turtle Rock Studios presents the latest character in the medic category for Evolve, its upcoming first-person shooter, sharing details about her powers and a gameplay video with Caira Diaz in action.

Evolve is one of the most anticipated all-new intellectual properties set to appear in early 2015, and developer Turtle Rock Studios is quite thrilled with the popularity its new title is already enjoying, both among fans as well as among critics and the media.

After organizing a special alpha stage a few weeks ago, Turtle Rock has started detailing the different characters rounding up the already solid roster of hunters and monsters that will be present in the shooter.

Meet Caira the medic

The latest character is called Caira Diaz and represents the medic class, a pretty essential role in any team combination that already includes members from the other categories – Assault, Trapper, and Support.

A special description detailing Caira as a person as well as her specialization in terms of the medic abilities is available, so check it out below, via the official website.

"The smartest person on the team and the only hunter from Earth, Caira Diaz is also the only person on Shear with any hope of figuring out what the Monsters are, where they come from, and what they want. Given enough time, everyone believes she’ll find the answers," the studio confirms on its website.

"But there are only five days until the last evac ship leaves, and she’ll spend most of that time hunting Monsters. Caira is the last medic revealed for the main game. With Caira on your team, you will get to the Monster faster, do more damage, and stay alive longer."

Her skills are quite impressive

Caira, more or less, relies on different grenades to help both the defensive and the offensive. First up, there are the healing grenades, which can be used to heal teammates and herself in an area of effect. Afterwards, there are the napalm grenades, which can deal damage if they explode on top of the monster or just in its vicinity.

Last but not least, there's the adrenal boost ability that gives nearby hunters a huge speed boost. As such, monsters shouldn't be too surprised to see their enemies close behind them right at the beginning of the match.

Besides all these special skills, Caira can also perform the standard medic area of effect burst heal, so her potential is really good.
