Furthermore, the damage inflicted eats into the funds of your opponent on the next turn, capable of delaying even Colin or Hachi for a short while, and is absolutely a momentum-stopper to Kanbei. Urban Blight helps pry capturing infantry off your cities (important against Sami/Sensei) and break defensive units camped on enemy properties (important against Sturm/Javier). 180% is already as much of a damage bonus conferred by the SCO powers of other officers (Max Blast, Overdrive, Haymaker) and Kindle gets it for a measly three stars. For three stars, Urban Blight deals 3 HP worth of damage to any enemy unit on an urban tile and her city-based attack rises to 180%. She has two powers which have completely different effects that make her a fearsome CO indeed.
While a very useful day-to-day, it's nothing game-breaking. (This bonus applies regardless of property ownership - she still gets the bonus on neutral or even enemy cities.) This makes her a very capable defender as her units tend to deal surprisingly high amounts of damage on counterattack from cities and it greatly increases the efficiency of indirect units parked on spaces which automatically resupply them. Her day-to-day makes her units 140/130 on urban tiles (including planes over cities/seaports), as opposed to the 100/130 of most COs, so holding down urban properties is a higher priority for her than with most commanding officers.
Kindle comes with a standard-length 3/3 bar. The exception seems to be comm towers, which do not grant funds but do grant urban tile bonuses to Kindle. Important note: when considering which urban tiles count towards her day-to-day and powers, the rule of thumb seems to be that any urban tile which gives funds counts (HQ, base, city, seaport, airport) while any urban tile which does not give funds does not count (missile silo). The queen of large-scale urban warfare maps. Skilled players may also easily predict her actions, especially the activation of Urban Blight, and will negate most of her advantage with proper play a Kindle player may have to press her advantage harder against such people.
She gets no bonuses outside of properties, however, and may not be suited for some maps (especially small maps, or ones with fewer cities on the frontlines). Her units gain one of the largest single D2D boosts in the game (+40%, only Javier with enough towers and Sensei Infantry, Mechs and B-Copters can compare) whenever they're on a property in addition, her CO powers allow her to easily take over (or defend) properties, and gain funds or positional advantage from the controlled properties, or even off-property offensive bonuses with High Society. Kindle is a CO whose advantages lie in one of the most important tile types on a map - properties.
