His kit focuses on gaining and utilizing "Soldier of Fortune" stacks for himself and Mercenary allies, with specific abilities for Grand Arenas.
A user named kadar_le_poet created a complex puzzle that, when solved, reportedly reveals the kit for the character Baylan Skoll. The puzzle's solution involves taking the last letter of each line, decrypting it with a Beaufort Variant of a Vigenere cipher using "Lebrock" as the autokey, and then capitalizing it correctly to form a link. MeatheadMilitia reacted with surprise, stating, "I can't believe you puzzled the kit."
The content creator was actively putting together a kit reveal. This occurred late in the day, suggesting preparation for an upcoming character's ability set announcement.

It also confirms Marrok will be an Inquisitor and Mercenary and explains cooldowns for Shin's abilities.
The Shin Hati unit is revealed, joining the new Mercenary faction. She is a Dark Side Attacker who ignores Taunt and utilizes the new Soldier of Fortune effect, a stacking blue status effect that enables additional ability effects at certain thresholds. Her Marquee event begins September 19th. She will be required at Relic 7 for Baylan Skoll but not for GL Ahsoka.
