Aldo (UC) is a burst damage dealer who excels at Sneak Attack weapon skills from behind the enemy. He works best when a tank is holding the enemy's attention, letting him position for backstabs. The UC upgrade improves his positioning AI and damage output. A good choice when you want a melee DD who can also help with enmity management via Trick Attack.
