Fatal Teleport+Covert Lethality makes him somewhat useful in the endurance Index (except the bursa and flying enemies don't have finisher animations). However, it seems like it's not as reliable to "proc" covert's instakill as say Equinox's rest (although for certain enemies like the zanuka you need to melee from a certain angle to start the finisher animation) or even some of the stagger CC's like Inaros' pocket sand.

Also, yes, there are still frames with "press 4 to win" abilities, but Ash's old blade storm was the most irritating because any enemies affected by it became invincible to teammates as soon as they turned red, and then you had to wait for his animations to start and finish playing, which takes more time as enemy levels get higher. This meant you might have a period of 10-30 seconds where there was nothing you could do as his squadmates. Blade storm, along with Telos Boltace's particle spam and some of the other pub cheese setups were why I switched to solo except for repetitive modes like defense and interception.
