Delta Force Season 8: Butterfly General Analysis
To master Butterfly, you must understand her unique positioning as an aggressive, long-range medic:
● Long-Range Revive King: Her ultimate allows for "remote revives" from up to 55 meters away, removing the need to put yourself in the direct line of fire to save a teammate.
● Tactical Flexibility: With a guided smoke grenade and tracking healing drones, she can support multiple lanes and adapt to shifting frontlines faster than previous support operators.
● High Survivability: Her drones don't just heal; they actively intercept explosive damage, providing a "safety net" during intense firefights.
Skill Breakdown & Meta Tips
Ultimate:ButterflyRescue Drone(55m Remote Revive)
This is easily the strongest part of her kit. When you pop your Ult, Butterfly sends out drones to downed or dying teammates within a 55-meter radius.
The Mechanic: The drones handle the "channeling" (revive bar) for you. Once the drone finishes the bar, you just need to revive your teammate and finish the revive in just 1 second.
ADS Protection: These drones come with a built-in ADS system that periodically intercepts incoming throwables, protecting your downed buddies from being finished off by grenades.
However, the action of revive can only be taken by you, other teammates cannot do it for you.
Tactical 1: Nano-Medical Dust (Tracking Heal Drone)
This is a tracking medical drone that locks onto and follows a teammate to provide continuous healing.If you are pushing an objective, long-press the skill key to use the dust on yourself.
Tactical 2: Remote-Controlled Smoke(Remote control smoke)
Forget standard smoke grenades. This one is a guided projectile that follows your hand gestures.You can steer the smoke mid-air to land exactly on a sniper's window or a narrow doorway, providing the perfect cover for your team's rotation.
Passive: Vital Signs Monitoring
This passive makes your squad incredibly difficult to wipe.Teammates stay in a "downed" state for up to 4.5 minutes. This gives you more than enough time to win a fight before going back to pull off a revive.While using Nano-Medical Dust, your HUD shows teammate silhouettes and health status through walls, allowing for perfect situational awareness.
