Acanthus is a very short light bot. Acanthus has 3 medium slots on the left side, and a bulky physical shield on the right side.

Acanthus has a unique ability “blossom”

When activated “blossom” temporarily turns the physical shield into small drones that seek out the 3 most nearest allies,

Once they find their chosen ally, they heal them for a few seconds, then give them each 3 buffs, speed increase by 10%, damage mitigation by 15% and decreased reload time by 10% for 5 seconds.

And 4 more drones seek out enemies, and deal damage of 5000 and then gives a new effect “mute”

“Mute” forces any bot to reload for a doubled amount of time, and this works on built in and equipped weapons.

Stats for MK1 level 1

robot health 70,000

Robot speed 38

Drones health 30,000
health each, but 110,000 when in its shield formation into one part.

If a drone gets destroyed during the ability, that specific drone will disappear from the shields formation when it ends.

===============================

Gloxinia is long medium hover bot with 1 heavy, 1 medium and 1 light slots it also has a built in weapon.

Gloxinia has a unique passive called “solar powered” that causes the bot to deal bonus 10% damage when not under cover.

It also has a ability “thermal lance”.

“Thermal lance” shoots a laser that that deals damage for 10 seconds and at the end causes emp and blind to the selected target.

Cooldown is 12 seconds

Stats for MK1 level 1

Health 110,000

Thermal Lance damage 15,000

Speed 45

Damage mitigation 25%

I named them after flowers because I thought it be neat

Gloxinia sounds pretty cool actually, i find acanthus quite confusing however

Sounds like a great bot, and not to OP. This would be amazing in the game, like a Khepri but scarier

#

Can you define what under cover means

Under buildings

#

Places with shadow

The mute ability sounds really overpowered, just think about a player with trebuchets having to wait 36 seconds to shoot but then gets hit again by the drones.

atomizer be like

#

Could you define "under cover" as being shot at but projectiles not being hit because of terrain? Or just people looking at you?

cursive magnet
#

You will need a really solid definition of terrain to have this feature work properly.

What counts as a roof?

#

If your somewhere in between a roof and not under a roof, is the point of activation in the center of the robot?

cursive magnet
#

How many meters above you does a roof have to be to count as a roof?

#

The ceiling of dreadnought and the bridges on Yamantau; are they roofs if your under them?

livid apex
#

Any height as long as your under it

cursive magnet
#

So like my example, if you are "under" the Yamantau bridge, which is about 200 meters in the air, you are in cover?

livid apex
#

Yes

cursive magnet
#

Well, in the laws of using cover, this is pretty weird. How can something not remotely near you count as cover?

#

Will the small hanging satellite dish in Valley map count as cover if you stand directly under it?

livid apex
#

As long as there is some sort of object directly above you that if the sun was mid day shines straight down then it counts as cover this would not apply to robots

cursive magnet
#

So the little dish is cover then

livid apex
#

Yes

cursive magnet

That's the good part of the idea

#

But cover 200 meters above you shouldn't be cover

#

Maybe if you adjusted the height an obstacle has to be above you

#

Maybe stuff 40 meters above you is cover

livid apex
#

What about 50m limit

cursive magnet
#

50 might cover too much, but it's probably fine.

Acanthus' design is just like cerebus but with a shield. But I love the ability idea
Gloxinia I like Thermal Lance, but I think the cool down should be slightly longer. Also 110,000 health for lvl 1 is definitely too much, try 75,000
Overall cool idea though Greentick
