In Armor Attack's ever-changing sci-fi battleground, each faction relies on a unique passive ability for success. However, the Hermit's ability, intended for dealing damage, hasn't quite lived up to its potential. To fix this, we've completely reworked it to make it more effective and showcase its true power.
Unleashing the Power of Delayed Damage (DD)
Corrosion introduces a mechanic that renews the hermit's ability. With the implementation of Delayed Damage (DD), every hermit weapon becomes a potent tool in the hands of skilled players. Each equipped weapon can apply one stacked DD effect, and the more weapon slots a vehicle possesses, the greater the potential for devastating stacks of DD.
Strategic Depth: Stacking the Odds
Delayed Damage Effect stacks between teammates, fostering cooperation and coordination among allies. Good practice is to stack Corrosion beyond this limit and apply its effects earlier. But this also introduces a new layer of strategic decision-making, as players must balance the desire for maximum damage output with the need to distribute DD Effect effectively across enemy forces.
Timing is Everything: The Countdown to Chaos
DD Effect comes with a timer, ticking away until its inevitable activation. When the timer expires, the target receives damage for each stack of DD Effect applied. Each time DD Effect is applied, its timer resets, ensuring that sustained pressure can lead to devastating consequences for the enemy.
A Cascade of Destruction: Unleashing the Fury
In the heat of battle, the accumulation of DD Effect can reach critical mass. When the maximum stacks of DD are applied, activating a new stack triggers DD effect instantly, regardless of the remaining timer. The result is a cascade of destruction, overwhelming enemy defenses and turning the tide of battle in an instant.
The Aftermath: Damage Over Time (DoT)
But the devastation does not end there. After DD effect activates, the target suffers yet another blow - Damage Over Time (DoT). This secondary effect deals a percentage of the total damage dealt by DD stacks for a duration, achieving tasks beyond your weapons capabilities.
Strategic Adaptation: A Pathway to Victory
While DoT brings chaos to the battlefield, it also presents challenges. While active on a target, DoT prevents the reception of any additional DD Effects, prompting players to adjust their strategies and capitalize on fleeting opportunities.
Prepare for the Ultimate Showdown
As the smoke settles and the dust clears, one truth remains undeniable: the battlefield will never be the same. With Corrosion, Hermits will fulfill their role as true damage dealers, just as they were designed to be. Are you ready to embrace the evolution and lead your forces to victory? The future of warfare awaits, and the stakes have never been higher.
