Wave Controller (파도잡이) is a Position where one helps their allies' battles by attacking the enemy or by aiding the team using Shinsoo. Out of all the five ordinary Positions, Wave Controller is the rarest.

About

Even for a rare Position, the Wave Controller Position comes with extreme individual variations.

There are Wave Controllers who recklessly attack the enemy (these are easily targeted by opponents), and there are those change the tide of the battle by subtley altering the flow of the Shinsoo.

Since the ability to use raw Shinsoo at a level of efficiency that makes it more powerful than combining it with weaponry is quite rare, there are only handful of Wave Controllers as the traditional meaning, even among the Rankers. Most Wave Controllers lean to the powers of Shinsoo-manipulating items, but there are those who manipulate Shinsoo without any item whatsoever.

There are bascially two types of Wave Controller; Attacking type and Aiding type, but this kind of categorizing is not used much. Wave Controllers are described as the directors of battles. Most of them have direct battle abilities and serve other Positions as well. ([1])

Note: Apparently, Wave Controller doesn't necessarily refer to a person who manipulates Shinsoo but the conventional meaning of this term basically is used also in the Outer Tower. In this sense, it probably refers to a non-human like a Shinheuh species or even possibly, an artificial organism or anything technological that can manipulate Shinsoo without an item. ([2])
