Introduction
After receiving reports that their Lynx robots were being detected by enemies equipped with quantum radar, the Yan-Di corporation sought to create a superior form of undetectability. With the usage of light-diffracting armor plates and electromagnetic interference, the new robot Animus has the ability to become invisible to every form of detection during short bursts. This unprecedented technology allows pilots to flank behind enemy lines undetected or retreat from an unfavorable situation.

Basic information
Corporation: Yan-Di
Tier: IV
Intended role: Ambusher
Base/Max HP: 86,000/207,000
Base/Max Speed: 45/57
Additional armor HP: 80,000 (mk1)/120,000 (mk2)/150,000(mk3)
Weapon slots: 1 Medium + 3 Light
Module slots: 3 Passive + 1 Active

Ability: Veil
Duration: 10 Seconds / Charge
Cooldown: 22 Seconds
Max charges: 2
Animus becomes invisible to enemy players. After the 1-second animation plays, the name tag, health bar, physical robot, and everything attached to it will become invisible to enemy players. To allied players, Animus will appear translucent, similar to phase shift. Quantum radar cannot detect Animus in its ability, nor can it be tracked by pantagruels or seraphs. However, if Animus is hit by blind fire, its ability will automatically end. After the ability ends, Animus will appear to phase back in, similar to how phantom looks when it's teleporting, for 1 second. During this time, the robot is visible but still can't be targeted by the targeting system until the animation is complete.
When Animus is not in its ability, the armor plates are used to grant additional durability.

Recommended equipment
1 Aegaeon + 3 Phorcys
Bonus: Water Gun Weapons
The water gun family of guns (Poseidon, Aegaeon, Phorcys) is a set of close-ranged water cannon weapons. Each has a maximum range of 350m, however maximum damage isn't achieved unless under 200m. They deal high damage, about the same as sonics, and ignore 60% of the enemy's defense

Legendary Pilot: Silvia Esmeralda
One with the wind: Animus gains an 80% speed bonus when its ability is active.

Nice Robot Idea I really don’t like the concept about “Stealth” when you can literally still see where the enemy is located at behind objects, so Invisibility Stealth sounds neat. Plus W Weapons. Pilot seems a little op tho.

#

And nice weapon combination I think we don’t even have a robot with 1 Med and 3 Light right ?

#

We only have 1 heavy + 3 light on angler and Leo

#

Kinda like angler

Yeah

#

The hp/stealth combo Is overpowered bc remember that wr players like spending kidneys and equipping overpowered guns on stuff

#

The whole concept looks cool but It would be better with this stat nerfs:
Base/max hp: 65 000/80 000
Ability duration: maximum of 20 secs (player can decide to stop using the ability)
Ability cooldown: 15 secs
Base/max armor hp: 50 000/85 000
And a general weapon hotspot modification: 2x medium and 2x light

#

Thats because at mk3 the total health of this thing would be 357 000 wich Is not far from ocho wich Is intended as a tank

#

An ambusher, to avoid being abused by pay to play players like i was back in my day should have crappy hp but also be focused on ability usage like orochi

#

Remind that Animus Is extremely vurnerable to dot weapons so i suggest that the ability turns off on mild damage

#

Like if u take 500 damage in 1 sec

#

And this Animus bot would be better balanced with around 50 kilometers per hour speed and the size of a lynx

#

So It could be sort of a modified lynx

#

To add smth to the pilot backstory

#

Like a underwater treasure hunter with a heavily modified lynx stolen from yan di labs

#

That would link with the weapons being greek god themed

#

Man when It comes to saboteurs i write way too much @hollow aspen lol

hollow aspen
#

its good feedback

#

i was actually worried the abilit wasnt strong enough because once you actually come out of stealth, theres not much protection

#

you basically gotta get the jump on the enemy and do enough damage before they can respond

#

thats why i gave it the extra armor plates so it wouldnt just die when it blips out of veil

#

So u can single out single runaways or groups of 2/3 weaker runaway bots with my improved quick firing hotspot setup

#

Bc heavy/light weapons have too much difference in load

#

So with light/medium u can throw quick sneaky attacks and not overkill wasting bullets

atomic hound
#

Ngl they should just add a light to the phantom and add the „invisibility“ and that should be it. Even the name would fit.

#
