NEW ROBOT: ANGLER
Angler might look like a nice big target for your shotguns, but you’d better keep your distance. His Electric Shift ability allows him to enter a similar state to a Phase Shift, except it will also increase his speed and will deal damage to all enemies around him for 5 seconds. At the end of it, it applies blind status effect to everyone who was affected for 3 seconds. Don’t get lured into its light!
Angler is a perfect brawler so you’re welcome to pick your favorite close-ranged weapons and charge into the fight.
NEW PILOTS: ANNA BASARAB, MARKUS
Some say that Anna Basarab is a ruthless boss with strict principles. Some – that she’s a reliable partner and collector with fine taste. Some even know her as a knowledgeable technician, an expert on old Earth relics and mechanisms. There are even rumors that she’s not entirely human, originally not from Yan-Di… Maybe they’re all right, but they’re missing one thing: her reputation and looks are as deadly as her piloting skills.
Anna’s Lifedrain: While Mars’ Remote Assault is active, it gets an additional speed increase, as well as repairing some of its Durability when the ability ends. The extent of the repair depends on the damage dealt while the detachable turret was on the battlefield.
He was an android once, helping his master craft technological wonders that sold for a hefty price on a black market. Until one of the deals went south and he ended up as a piece of junk on a scrapyard. But then Anna came along: she breathed a new life into an android and named him Markus. Now he is faithfully serving his new master, though sometimes he’s wondering: maybe there’s something more to his life?
Markus’ Data Transfer: Angler’s ability duration increased.
NEW PASSIVE MODULE: IMMUNE AMPLIFIER
After taking some amount of damage, your robot will receive a small bonus to its maximum Durability for the entire battle. After reaching 20 of those bonuses, the robot will become immune to Freeze, after 40 – to Lockdown and after 60 (maximum) – to Suppresion. All immunities stay active for the entire battle. Your robot initially gets passive bonuses to Durability and Speed as well.
When installing several such modules, the speed of receiving bonuses increases, but not their maximum amount.
NEW TURRET: DURABILITY EXTENDER
Plain and simple: it increases your robot’s maximum durability when activated. And yes, those effects stack!
UPGRADE TOKEN
Starting with this update all upgrades from 12mk2 to 1mk3 require special Upgrade Tokens instead of gold. These tokens are awarded as a sign of special recognition to the best and most experienced Commanders. Only they give the right to access the rarest and most valuable components needed to upgrade robots and weapons to mk3.
For now these tokens are obtainable via Leaderboards and resource Operation Passes. We see the future of the mk3 grade as a thing of prestige for the most devoted players and an opportunity for them to stand out even among the maxed hangars of the Champion league.
PILOTS REBALANCE
These changes will go live later during 8.5. We will announce them separately in all our social media.
Pilots have been introduced in an update 5.1, at a time when there were no Titans, Drones or Motherships. Their base skills stayed the same since then, so now it’s time to do some reworking and also introduce new ones. During this rebalance we aim to make Pilots more universal and make their different groups of robots more even in terms of gaining damage, speed and durability.
All skills’ stats below are shown as their Legendary tier versions, fully upgraded.
- Road Hog: Robot has increased speed: 12.3-18.75% → 15% . Bonus is universal and will be applied no matter the robots' top speed.
- Armor Expert: The robot has increased durability: 12.5-18.75% → 15% . Bonus is universal and will be applied no matter robots’ max durability.
- Master Gunsmith: The robot deals increased weapon damage: 3.2-6.25% → 5% . Bonus is universal and will be applied no matter robots’ weapons.
- Energy Shield Expert: The robot's energy shield has increased capacity: 18.75-25% → 25%. Bonus is universal and will be applied no matter the robot.
- Adamant Guardian: If the enemy team controls 3 or more beacons, the robot gets increased damage resistance: 31.25 → 40.
- Adamant Gunsmith: If the enemy team controls 3 or more beacons, the robot deals increased weapon damage: 9.5% → 12%.
- True Ace: The robot repairs more durability with its ability: 12.5% → 18.75% . Nightingale and Khepri pilots now can also get this ability.
- Guidance Operator: The robot locks onto targets faster: 65% → 75%.

- Survivor, Thrill Seeker: The robot deals increased weapon damage, but its speed/durability is lowered. Weapon damage increased: 6.25% → 8.5%.
- Spy, Tough Guy: The robot has increased speed/durability, but its weapon damage is lowered. Lowered weapon damage: 3.1% → 2.5%.
- Bounty Hunter: Destroying an enemy robot increases the robot's weapon damage for 5 seconds: 7.5% → 15%.
- Thrill Seeker: The robot deals increased weapon damage, but its durability is lowered. New robots will be able to use this skill: Ao Jun, Hawk, Fafnir, Seraph, Cerberus, Angler .
- Survivor: The robot deals increased weapon damage, but its speed is lowered. New robots will be able to use this skill: Ravana, Behemoth, Shell, Bulwark, Ao Guang, Ao Qin .
- Tough Guy: The robot has increased durability, but its weapon damage is lowered. New robots will be able to use this skill: Ravana, Shell, Typhon, Cerberus, Erebus .
- Cautious Pilot: The robot has increased durability, but its speed is lowered. New robots will be able to use this skill: Nightingale, Angler, Weyland, Mender .
- Spy: The robot has increased speed, but its weapon damage is lowered. New robots will be able to use this skill: Angler, Ao Jun, Hawk, Fafnir .
- Scout: The robot has increased speed, but its durability is lowered. New robots will be able to use this skill: Ares, Typhon, Hades, Nemesis, Nightingale .
- Daredevil, Ghost, Traditionalist: The robot's damage/speed/durability increases, but its active ability becomes unavailable. New robots will be able to use this skill: Shell, Revenant, Angler, Typhon, Cerberus, Erebus, Carnage, Fenrir .
- Wonderworker: After activating its ability, the robot repairs a portion of its maximum durability. New robots will be able to use this skill: Seraph, Hawk, Shell, Harpy, Siren, Orochi, Revenant, Fafnir, Scorpion, Phantom .
We’ve also added some new Pilots’ skills:
- Wise Opportunist: Destroying an enemy robot increases your Defense Points for 5 seconds.
- Cunning Opportunist: Destroying an enemy robot increases your Movement Speed for 5 seconds.
- Ninja: After capturing a beacon, your robot increases its Movement Speed for 30 seconds.
- Customization Adept : Your robot has more Durability, but its Shield Durability is reduced.
- Explosives Expert: Damage you deal with your robot has a larger explosion radius.
- Stubborn Warrior: As long as your robot has low Durability, it gains additional Defense Points.
- Stubborn Speedster: As long as your robot has low Durability, it gains additional movement speed.
- Engine Expert: Your robot has increased movement speed while its ability is active.
- Defense Expert: Your robot has increased resistance while its ability is active.
- Destroyer: Your robot deals increased weapon damage while its ability is active.
Some Pilots don’t get as much attention from players as others. It’s about time we reinvigorate the meta of the lower leagues and put a spotlight on our underdogs:
- Boris Crow: After activating its ability, Cerberus' damage is increased for 5 seconds: 15%→20%
- Jack Moore: Each time Strider's ability is activated, it deals increased damage for 8 seconds. The increase stacks up to 5 times: 5%→7%

- Kang Strong: Ao Guang deals increased ability damage: 15%→20%
- Basil Lapatte: Weapons with a range of 800+ meters deal increased damage: 7.5%→10%
- Olga Minina: Phantom's ability lasts longer: 20%→25%
- Isabella Porter: Damage redirected by the Leech's ability is increased, while the incoming damage is reduced by only 70% → 80%
- Amalia Itegumo: Haechi gets Defense Points: 20→30
- Nicolas Wodanson: Fenrir has increased Defense Points while its ability is active: 25→40
- Tal Mokri: Spectre deals increased weapon damage while its ability is active: 7.5% → 10%
- Stanislav Chen: Invader has increased Suppression effect: 20% → 25%
Finally, we've also made it easier to find needed Legendary Pilots in the Training Center. Now there will always be at least 1 Legendary Pilot, even after refreshing!
- Fixed Orbital Support sometimes not working when pressing the button.
- Fixed a bug when chat would sometimes disappear after accepting an invite to a private battle.
- Fixed Persephone sometimes not healing allies.
- Fixed Skyros not restoring his shields in Ball mode.

WAR ROBOTS 9.7 UPDATE NOTES
D-GEMS: THE UNIVERSAL CURRENCY OF WAR ROBOTS
War Robots Web Shop
Introduction
Abilities refer to the special functions available to most robots and all titans . Abilities are manually activated and have a cool-down period after each use before they can be used again. Abilities have separate, distinct icon buttons in the control layout. The Carnage's built-in Ancile shield is not considered an ability as it is always active and not controllable by the player, the same being true for the Haechi's energy shield, Lancelot's front-mounted shields, the Bulgasari's side-mounted shield and the Shell 's 8 shield fragments, as these are built-in and cannot be removed. Some abilities like the Fujin’s sentry mode are instead toggled on/off and have unlimited duration in both modes. They all have a short cooldown time before you can switch modes again.
Below, the abilities are separated into three categories; Standard, Multi-Charge, and Mode Based. All of the abilities in each section are in alphabetical order.

The abilities in this section are single use, have a duration, and a cooldown that starts after the ability's duration is finished.
Note: Some of these abilities can be triggered during its duration (by pressing the ability button during the abilities duration), and in some cases this shortens the ability's duration, which in turn starts its cooldown earlier.
Aggressive Blink
Featured on:
Revenant teleports in front of the target and gain immunity to the following effects during 10 seconds: Lock-down, Suppression, Freeze, EMP, Corrosion (DoT effect), Blastcharge. It also gets a grey damage reduction of 90% (unrepairable resistance).
The max teleport range is 350 meters and the ability cooldown is 18 seconds.
Air Support
Nightingale takes flight and gains Stealth for 18 seconds, shooting out a suppressing beam that reduces damage by 70% every 1.8 seconds to a maximum of 500 meters. When it is in the air, it has a mini heal dome that can heal teammates. The healing dome heals bots and titans.
The ability can be canceled mid-flight, doing so starts the 16 second ability cooldown early.
When activated, Shell increases its speed and retracts its shields, allowing enemies to hit its hull from the front and back. After the ability duration is over, the Shell explodes, damaging and pushing back any enemies within 100 meters of the Shell.
This ability gives the Shell a speed boost a duration of 5 seconds before detonating, it then enters a cooldown phase of 7 seconds.
This ability allows Scorpion to place a translocator, teleport behind the target, gives it 35% damage resistance, an additional 37% speed boost, deploys its built-in weapon which inflicts DoT for a maximum of 8 seconds.
A second pressing of its ability will teleport Scorpion to the translocator it placed and ends its ability. If the second pressing ability is not used, the Scorpion will not teleport to the translocator and the ability will end at 8 seconds. Once the ability ends it enters an 18 second cooldown.
This ability allows Phantom to place a translocator and gives it 33% damage resistance and an additional 50% speed boost for a maximum of 15 seconds. However this can be ended early by activating it's secondary ability.
When activating this ability a secondary ability will show up. Pressing it will teleport Phantom to the translocator it placed and ends it's ability. If the second ability is not used, the Phantom will not teleport to the translocator and the ability will end at 15 seconds. This ability may be used anytime during the duration of Blink. Once the ability ends it enters a 10 second cooldown.
Blink Support
Feature on:
The Robot teleports in special armor, gaining additional HP and gets a (info needed) % buff to its speed, and also deploys 2 different turrets for 8 seconds. The turrets automatically track and fire kinetic projectiles the nearest enemy, similar to Mars’ and Sirius’ turret. Each turret fire individually from eachother and the Curie.
This ability grants the robot a 100% speed boost (akin to the Rush ability) and activates a temporary low durability Aegis-class shield that can block all damage types for 9 seconds. Lastly, right after activation three separate horizontal arcing bursts of kinetic projectiles (buckshot), with 350 meters range are fired, that can both deal damage and suppress enemy weaponry by 75% for 5 seconds. Like kinetic type weapons, both energy and physical shields can block the damage and effect of the buckshot.
A brawling play-style works well with this ability, due to the Blitz gaining increased speed which allows it to close in quickly, and durability from the combination of the Aegis shield and buckshot suppression, essentially making the robot extremely difficult to deal with in one on one battles.
Note: After the suppression wears off the enemy robot gains a 10-second immunity to all suppression effects.
Featured on:
This ability is a combination of the Jump and Stealth abilities. When activated, the robot jumps as far as a Griffin would, simultaneously activating stealth with it. After landing on any surface, the Inquisitor’s stealth lasts for 5 more seconds, while the Spectre’s lasts only 2 more seconds.
Like Rush and normal Stealth, the ability countdown starts after the stealth is over. Like Stealth, splash damage from unguided rockets and stray fire can still damage the robot, and this robot still suffers from landing lags due to it having 2 legs instead of 4. This ability can still be broken with a critical hit on the torso/leg connection, preventing it from using that ability again, like the Jump ability, and the jump distance remains the same for levels 1 and 12.
This ability should be used to make a hasty retreat in a desperate situation or to jump over enemies and do damage without the fear of being fired at. Also, the stealth that is left after the landing can buy time for players to find cover quickly or to do as much damage as possible before you become visible again.
Jump distances
Dragon Breath
When the Ao Jun activates this ability, the robot flies up into the air for 5 seconds with Stealth active and its speed boosted to 95 km/h. While the robot is in the air, and an enemy robot is within 350 meters, the Ao Jun will automatically attack the enemy with three jets of fire similar to the Ember that deal DoT similar to the Corrosion guns. The robot exits Stealth as it drops to the ground.
The ability can be canceled mid-flight, doing so starts the 22 second ability cooldown early.
Dragon Fangs
When the Ao Guang activates this ability, the robot flies up into the air for 12 seconds with 80% Damage Resistance and its speed boosted to 63km/h. While the robot is in the air, and an enemy is within 600m, the Ao Guang will automatically attack the enemy with a homing missile launcher similar to a Hydra . The robot stops its damage reduction only when the robot is on the ground again.
The ability can be canceled mid-flight, doing so starts the 20 second ability cooldown early.
Dragon Strike
When the Ao Qin activates this ability, the robot flies up into the air for 8 seconds, however this does not come with any defense-based effects, but its speed is boosted to 60km/h. While the robot is in the air, and an enemy is within 600m, the Ao Qin will automatically attack the enemy with a laser similar to a Spark , Scourge or Calamity .
The ability can be cancelled mid-flight, and doing so starts the 15 second ability cooldown early.
This ability allows the robot to activate its two heavy weapons (on its back) for 12 seconds, however, during the duration it disables its built-in damage reduction. This requires the pilot to take risks for the increased damage output.
During the duration (12 seconds) the Falcon can make one jump, this allows the robot to get out of danger quickly.
Once the ability's duration ends, it enters a 10-second cooldown phase.
Note: Due to being able to choose when you want to jump (during the ability's duration), you can time it just before the ability ends, doing this allows the damage reduction to enable while in mid-air. This can be used strategically to quickly cover ground, without receiving full damage from enemy weapons.
This ability acts like the Jump ability only that the flight trajectory and altitude are user-controlled, not pre-defined like the Jump ability, and that the gliding speed matches the robot speed at the time the ability is triggered, not slower or faster. However, robots using this ability are still prone to the stun effect upon landing (as the robots have 2 legs).
This ability is the only one so far that allows for partial use and "reload while using" ability, as it can be used to maintain a constant altitude when using the ability, in short, controlled bursts. However, this ability isn't totally a "reload while using" ability as the player must wait for 7 seconds before the ability can be triggered again upon landing.
This ability is like the Descend ability, but it has a unique twist to it; whenever it lands, it deals an explosive area damage around it, damaging any other robots within the explosion's range (red circle surrounding the Mercury while it is in mid-air).
After one second in midair, the Helldive button can be activated again to instantly force the Mercury to the ground, allowing for specific landing points on enemy lines.
There is a 5-second stealth period after the explosion. The explosion's damage depends on the level of Mercury . After the stealth ends, it enters an 18-second cooldown.
Mercury pilots, should they have close-ranged setups, should use the Helldive abilities to target small groups of enemies, dealing damage to all of them at once and catching them off guard. An even better tactic would be to jump from behind a wall and drop down on top of them for an ambush.
This ability combines the abilities of both Rush and Stealth, giving the robot a 33% speed boost and cloaking (cannot be targeted) at the same time.
Allowing users of the Pursuer to quickly close-in and cause serious damage to enemies, and then retreating before the 10 second duration ends, possibly unscathed, due to the enemy being unable to target the robot. Once the ability ends, it enters a 20-second cooldown phase.
This ability allows the robot to jump in the air with 33% damage reduction to all weapon types - besides the Gauss , the Weber or the Volt - while airborne and five seconds after landing.
Like the Mercury's Helldive, can be forced to the ground at any time during its jump (one second delay).
Upon landing it sends out a pulse that suppresses all enemies' weapons with the ability's radius (red circle surrounding the Invader while it is in mid-air) by 66% for 5 seconds. It them enters an 16-second cooldown phase.
Using high damage close range weapons like a Scourge and two Sparks , or a Storm and two Gusts , work well with this ability, due to this ability's capability of suppressing multiple enemies, which can allow you to focus on dispatching one enemy, while ignoring the other enemies' weakened firepower. This strategy is made easier due to the Invader’s immense health pool.
This ability propels the robot into the air. Each robot's jump distance is pre-set (with the Cossack's being shortest and Griffin's being the longest, however Raven has the longest jump if the ability button is pressed 2 times in a row) and cannot be changed, even via upgrading.
While jumping, robots travel much faster than their walking speed (this speed boost only lasts as long as the jump). Jump allows a robot to quickly gain an advantageous position, jump over obstacles, retreat, or dodge rocket fire.
The cooldown for jumps is started as soon as they are triggered. Due to this, assuming the landing occurs on the same plane as the jump, Cossack only has one second between landing and being able to jump again, while Rogatka has 2 seconds, and Griffin has 19 seconds.
One important point to note is that the robot is stationary for a second after completing the jump and landing on the ground. This can be known as the "stun" effect because of the animation the legs do upon landing. This mechanic also applies to all 2-legged robots that land upon falling down a cliff or other edge.
Jump drive can be broken by getting a critical hit from an enemy. Upon breaking, the jump can no longer be used for the duration of the battle (or how long the robot is still alive). It is the only ability in the game that can be destroyed.
Raven has jump but has a different feature from the other jumping robots. Unlike the other robots, it has 2 jump charges and can be used in midair. This allows the Raven to jump to places that are inaccessible to normal jumping robots.
The mid-air jump gives the Raven incredible thrusting speed, which allows it to close in on a target, or evade a volley of rockets, faster than any robot in the game.
This ability functions similarly to the Rush ability. However, there is a vast difference; after the timer runs out, the robot creates a mighty explosion, damaging any enemy in the explosion AoE (Area-of-Effect).
This ability gives the Hellburner a speed boost a duration of 5 seconds before detonating, it then enters a cooldown phase of 5 seconds.
It is impossible to prevent the explosion from occurring once the ability has been activated.
When activated while this symbol is shown the robot enters a state that gives it 90% damage resistance from all sources.
However, when activated while this symbol is shown, the robot receives the aforementioned damage resistance, as well as establishing a "link" with the currently targeted enemy robot. This link can be established without line of sight (behind cover) as long as the target is no further than 500 meters away. The linked enemy robot will receive 35% of all damage the Leech would take as if it had no damage resistance.
This means the linked target will take substantially more damage that the Leech will, as the Leech will only take 10% of incoming damage compared to the 35% the linked target will take. Due to this, the pilot of this robot is encouraged to absorb as much damage as possible while leeching a target. The pilot currently linked and all of his or her allies are encouraged to cease fire while the Leech has this ability active, unless the Leech is at extremely low durability.
Note: Once the link is established it is unbreakable. This means getting out of 500 meter target range or entering stealth does not break the link. However, the Leech cannot establish a link if the target is in stealth to begin with (unless Quantum Radar is used).
If the ability was initially activated with no enemy targets within 500 meters, or if a linked enemy dies during the ability's duration, and the Leech is now targeting an enemy within 500 meters, this symbol will appear. If pressed the Leech will establish a new link with the currently targeted enemy.
Note: This symbol will appear grayed out if there is no enemy targeted within 500 meters.
Retribution
There are three separate versions of this ability, which is dependent on the robot. However, the different versions have the same general mechanics; the ability to deploy an impenetrable (no weapon type can bypass) and indestructible (has unlimited durability) Absorber shield, that has the added ability of absorbing weapon damage to boost the robot's built-in weaponry by up to a 100% damage increase.
The differences are the built-in weapon types, and the duration and cooldown times. The Ares has four built-in energy cannons, the Hades has a single kinetic gun, and the Nemesis has three rocket launcher systems. The Ares has the longest shield duration (8 seconds), but at the cost of having to wait the longest to reuse its ability (18 seconds). The Hades has its duration a little shorter (6 seconds) than the Ares , while having a shorter cooldown phase (12 seconds). Lastly, the Nemesis has a duration half the time of Ares (4 seconds), but in return has the shortest cooldown of the three (8 seconds).
All three robots get their speed reduced during the duration of the ability: Hades ' and Nemesis ' speed are reduced by 20%; But unlike Hades and Nemesis , Ares' movement speed is not reduced
Note: The weapon(s) by default will start firing as soon as the absorption phase ends, which allows the weapon(s) to finish unloading their projectiles just as the shield deactivates. A pilot can prematurely fire their built-in weapon(s) by pressing the ability button during the absorption phase (akin to the Mercury 's Helldive or Invader 's Incursion).
Temporarily increases the speed of the robot allowing it to quickly close range with the enemy or perform a hasty retreat. It is similar to the Assault Mode ability of the Rhino but without the shield (although both robots with Rush have built-in shields) or severely limited traverse.
Rush increases the base movement speed of a robot by 66% for a period of 10 seconds, followed by a 20-second downtime. Because of its long recharge duration, timing the activation of the Rush ability is absolutely critical. Unlike jumps, the cooldown begins at the end of the ability's effect (not the start). Note, the Lancelot 's ability cooldown time is 14 seconds, while the Carnage 's cooldown is 20 seconds.
Allows Seraph to lift into flight magnificently, enable a special Forcefield for protection, and fire a strong electrical flux at the enemy, dealing additional damage to Titans .
During flight, Seraph automatically fires a special weapon named Apparition . It consists of one main electricity bolt and several auxillary bolts, able to damage multiple enemies at once, as long as they are grouped together. The main bolt deals a high amount of damage to heavily armoured units, while the auxiliary bolts help to damage nearby enemies. This mechanic is similar to the magnetic Titan weapons Gargantua and Pantagruel . This weapon deals 250% additional damage to Titans.
It may be canceled during flight by a second pressing of ability button.
Featurd on:
Enemies become unable to target or lock onto the Stalker for 8 seconds. This is followed by a 16-second cooldown period before Stealth can be activated again (2 seconds to recharge 1 second of stealth).
When in stealth, a crossed-out eye symbol replaces the cloaked player's name.
Stealth significantly decreases the accuracy of enemy weapons since they cannot acquire a target lock, disabling the vertical auto-aim. However, the splash damage from rocket weaponry such as the Pin or the Orkan or stray fire can still damage a robot with stealth mode activated.
This ability gives Mender the ability to repair multiple allies and itself via 7 healing pulses (as soon as the ability is activated), along with 33% increased movement speed, and 64% damage reduction (175 defense point) for a 7-second duration. The healing pulses can repair a fixed number of hit points, depending on the Mender 's level, to any number of allies that are located in the Mender 's healing radius (the green circle surrounding the Mender ).
Once the ability's duration ends, it enters a 15-second cooldown phase.
The combination of these three abilities in one, allow the Mender to be a front-line healer due to its tremendous survivability (being able to heal itself along with the damage reduction). These bonuses along with its solid firepower can make the Mender an offensive threat as well, and has the necessary speed to ambush opponents.
Note: A robot's hit points can only be repaired up to 80% of any damage taken, so it is not possible to be fully repaired.
This ability allows the robot to transform temporarily, disabling its weapons and activating a reflector shield, a medium-range energy beam, and boosters that allow the robot to hover high above ground.
The ability can be cancelled midflight. Doing so will start the 18 second cooldown early.
Multi-Charge
These abilities can store multiple uses (charges), allowing the pilot to activate the ability in quick succession. Like the standard abilities they have a cooldown, however, for these abilities each charge has a separate cooldown.
Dash could be perceived as a cross between Rush and Jump. Robots that use Dash travels 60~80 meters horizontally in a single quick leap. No vertical obstacles could be jumped over with the use of this ability.
Cooldown is 5 (Kumiho and Bolt) and 15 ( Bulgasari , Haechi , and Strider ) seconds per charge. The Korean robots can all store up to 2 charges, while the Strider can store 5, and the Bolt only 1. Once the first charge is expended, a recharge begins. A second charge could be used while the first one is on reload, making it very flexible to use. For example, if the dash on the Kumiho is used twice in a row, you only have to wait for 5 seconds after the second dash (that is the first one already recharged) and can be used that way to outrace many light robots if dashing constantly.
See page for more details -:- Ability:Dash
This ability allows the robot to fire 5 red energy beams (per charge) with up to 600 meters range at an enemy, dealing solid damage and more importantly reducing the enemy's weapon firepower (suppression) by 75% for 5 seconds. It can store up to three charges, with each taking 10 seconds to recharge. Like energy type weapons, physical shields and Aegis-class barriers can block the damage and effect of the beam.
Due to the range of this ability it works well with mid-range weaponry, like a Dragoon or Zeus paired with a couple of Sparks , which allows the Rayker to be an excellent support option. However, due to the Rayker's agility it can also ambush enemies effectively, so close range weapons are not totally discouraged.
Transcendence
This ability allows the robot to enter a special state similar to the Phase Shift Module , giving the user immunity to damage and status-based effects such as Lockdown, Freeze, and Suppression. Projectiles will travel straight through the bot, and upon use, status effects will be automatically ended. While Transcendence is active, the user gains a large speed boost and cannot fire their own weapons or capture and contest beacons.
ViperStrike
The robot gains speed and stealth, deploys a 350 meter max range built-in weapon with DoT.
The abilities in this section have an infinite duration (and are usually passive), which are only ended (or changed to a different mode) when the pilot chooses to (by pressing the ability button). Most of these abilities have a short cooldown, however, they can also be long, or almost non-existent (can switch between modes almost at-will). Lastly, there can be a short delay between the switching of modes, usually signified by an animation lasting approximately 1 to 2 seconds.
Assault Mode
Deploys a passive frontal assault shield which can absorb enemy fire. The shield works the same way as the Ecu shield. Rocket splash damage bypasses the shield and the shield can ultimately be destroyed after receiving enough damage.
Activating Assault Mode also dramatically increases movement speed (100% increase), but disables the medium hardpoints and severely hinders main hull rotation speed, making the Rhino vulnerable to flanking. This means that when you move the camera to another location, this robot will turn very slowly on its legs, and targets can't be acquired on the other side when this mode is active. It also prevents the robot from moving backward. This ability can be a huge advantage when used correctly: it allows the robot to absorb composite or plasma shots, quickly seize vulnerable beacons, or make a breakthrough in enemy lines.
If the shield is destroyed, the robot will act normally as if the ability was disabled (medium weapons become re-enabled and the hull can turn again).
When in Assault mode, press the button again to exit Assault Mode and regain full usage of hardpoints and turning speed. Rhino cannot toggle Assault Mode less than 2 seconds after its ability is activated due to its enter/exit animations.
Bastion Mode
Deploys two passive frontal shields which have the same mechanics as the Ecu shield, and blocks every type of weapon except unguided rockets ( splash ) and homing missiles hitting its sides. It takes a few seconds for the Raijin to fully establish this mode.
While it is activated, the Raijin's torso is raised for a more advantageous field-of-view and can be turned around to shoot, but the robot itself remains stationary (cannot move). The Raijin also gains a 30% damage increase to its weapons.
It takes four seconds to exit Bastion Mode.
If the shields get destroyed, one still can use this mode to get a +30% damage boost without an actual shield.
When activated, Bastion Mode raises the target zone immediately to where the Rajin chassis will be. Players can use this to effectively dodge incoming fire.
Metamorphosis
Phalanx Mode
This ability rotates the in-built shield on the Gareth and Galahad from the side to the front of the robot (and vice versa). In the case of the Arthur it brings its two side shields to the front, effectively connecting them. When in the front position the shield blocks any non-splash damage weapons, but it also reduces the robot/titan's walking speed by 20%.
The time required for deploying/dropping the shield is 1 second.
Note: If the shield is shot off, one still can use this mode, getting 20% speed handicap without an actual shield.
When in Aegis Mode, a special Aegis-class energy shield is deployed, it is capable of blocking all weapon damage types ( kinetic , energy , and splash [rocket]), however, it cannot block damage from abilities that cause (literal) explosive damage (like the Hellburner’s Overload).
When in Physical Shield Mode, it turns off its energy shield, which allows the Bulwark to regenerate any lost energy shield HP (+3% capacity per second), and the Bulwark deploys a frontal physical shield to help protect it while its energy shield is regenerating.
There is a 4 second cooldown for switching between modes.
Notes: The energy shield can only regenerate when the ability is disabled, but the physical shield cannot regenerate.
Like an Ancile shield, this energy shield can be used to protect allies as well as itself, and it needs to be at least at 20% full capacity in order to function (although you can have the Protection ability enabled at less than 20% shield capacity, the shield it will not function however).
The ability deactivates one set of weapons and activates another, allowing the deactivated set to reload while inactive.
While it is activated, the animation for the weapon switch plays takes place. This animation is played and lasts about a fraction of a second.
When toggled, it has a cooldown time of 10 seconds for Jesse , 14 seconds for Doc and 20 seconds for Butch before the weapons can be swapped back.
Repair Mode
This ability upon activation, causes this robot to elevate and has a 40% reduction in speed, but gains 23% damage reduction (30 defense points). While in repair mode, it produces a healing aura around itself (the aura is an 80 m green circle surrounding the Weyland). All robots that are allies and are inside the aura get repaired at a fixed rate of hit points per second, based on the Weyland's level. It takes 1 second for the Weyland to establish this mode.
The robot needs 3 seconds to exit Repair Mode.
The Weyland is best used as a mid to long range supporter due to not being able to repair while on the move. Also due to the wide range of powerful heavy weapons that fill this role. The Weyland can be very difficult to destroy (due to being able to constantly regenerate health while stationary) and has enough firepower to pose a serious threat to the opponent.
Sentry Mode
Activates a passive energy shield, similar to the Ancile but faster-regenerating. Energy weapons, such as the Zeus , bypass the shield. It is vulnerable to Thunder , as these can quickly deplete the shield at 500 meters. See the Ancile section for more information. The shield regenerates over a period of time, noticeably much faster than an Ancile.
While the mode is activated, Fūjin 's move speed is reduced and is raised for a more advantageous field-of-view, and can still turn around and shoot.
When toggled, it has a cooldown time of two seconds before it can be triggered again.
Note: The energy shield can only regenerate while in Sentry Mode.
There are five variations of the Shapeshift ability, which is featured on all five of the Ragnarok Squad robots.
Loki , in its Recon Mode, gains permanent stealth and a speed boost, however it cannot fire its weapons. In its other form, Attack Mode, Loki activates all three of its Light weapons , however this deactivates stealth and thus exposes itself to the open, which makes it extremely vulnerable. This ability makes Loki a good Beacon capper, as it can run around in stealth and capture beacons.
Fenrir is much more of a 1v1 fighter. In Mobile Mode, it activates its Aegis-class barrier and gets a considerable boost in speed, however it can only fire the two Medium weapons of its armament. Its Aegis shield will also not be able to regenerate. Whenever Fenrir chooses, it can activate Defense Mode, this drops its Aegis shield, and removes the speed boost, in exchange for 50% damage reduction and enabling its Heavy weapon . The Defense Mode also allows its Aegis shield to regenerate.
Tyr , the final robot of the pack, is a fairly mobile support unit which can swap between two support roles. In its Support Mode, Tyr gets a speed boost and activates a Healing Aura akin to the Weyland , however its two stashed Light weapons remain on its back. Whenever it wishes, Tyr can activate Assault mode, it stops its speed boost and healing to activate its Light weapons and a physical shield. One can think of it as a mash of Weyland and Raijin , as Weyland is faster than Raijin and can heal, but Raijin can activate a physical shield and gain a 30% damage increase.
Activates the two heavy weapons on its back, allowing for four heavy weapons to be fired simultaneously. This allows for unprecedented raw firepower. This mode takes about a second to setup, due to its activation animation.
However, the ability to fire all four weapons comes at the cost of becoming 50% slower.
When toggled, it takes about a second to complete its deactivation animation. Afterwards it can be activated again immediately as there is no cooldown.
Sniper Mode
Sniper Mode is an ability exclusive to the Jaeger . Upon activation, the Jaeger activates its 'Sniper Mode', however it takes one second to switch to Sniper Mode and in this period the Jaeger cannot move.
When in Sniper Mode the Jaeger's speed is reduced by Info needed , but it raises its torso elevation and activates a built-in Aegis-class barrier with 45,700 durability at base level and its built-in sniper cannon, a kinetic shell-shooter weapon with 1,100m range and 10 second cooldown. Unlike most other built-in weapons, the Jaeger's cannon can be fired via the fire button instead of autonomously unloading at an enemy whenever it is reloaded.
The ability can be terminated at any time, forcing Jaeger back into its normal state. The Jaeger's Aegis barrier can regenerate in both states.
Titan Exclusive
The abilities in this section are only featured on Titans . They are no different than regular abilities.
Once activated, the titan releases a “dust wave” in the form of a rapidly expanding circle. This wave ejects any enemy robot away and deals damage to all enemy robots within 100 meters of the Arthur .
This ability bypasses all shields and defense resistances, and even walls. The ability's knock-back is most effective against robots with small frames as they can be pushed back a considerable distance, while large framed enemies, such as titans, are hardly moved.
After being used it enters a 10 second cooldown phase.
Dragon Flight
When the Ao Ming activates this ability, the titan flies high up into the air for an unlimited amount of time. Activating flight also activates its two beta weapons, allowing it to unleash all of its firepower, at the cost of having less defense points (damage resistance) while airborne.
The titan can drop at anytime (deactivating its beta weaponry in the process) during flight, by pressing the ability button while in flight. It enters a 5 second cooldown phase
There is a 5 second cooldown after exiting flight before you can reenter flight. However, it must fully land before flight can be reactivated, or must reach peak altitude before flight can be deactivated.
Electrical Lasso
When activated, Indra throws a lasso at an area in front of it, slowing enemies down by 20% and repairing Indra 5% ~ 17% HP (level-dependent). If the enemies maintain contact with the lasso for the duration of ability, enemies will receive damage of 5% ~ 17.5% (level-dependent) of its HP.
- Lasso radius: 250m - Lasso breaking distance: 350m - Lasso duration: 7 sec - Lasso enemies slowdown: 20% Note: Lasso will not deal damage if enemies go away the breaking distance! After being used, it enters a 14 second cooldown phase
Frog Splash
Full Action
Kid activates it's alpha hardpoint, increasing its maximum fire power, and activates additional defense points for 15 seconds. This ability is a lot like fangs out. After being used, it enters a 10 second cooldown phase
Remote Restore
Self-Repair
When activated, the titan repair a portion of its durability during 6 seconds. When the ability finished, it enters a 18 second cooldown phase.
When activated a wall of fire expands around kid, this wall lags for 5 seconds and goes around barriers and through walls, any robots inside this field take heavy damage. When the ability finished, it enters a 10 second cooldown phase.
