This is the first titan that walks on three legs, this is the first titan that disappears into Phase Shift to avoid damage, and this is the first titan that ensnares enemies with a power net. They sure know how to show off! Indra features 1 Alpha and 2 Beta weapon slots. Most of the time you will see it equipped for close range. Try maintaining distance. Not only is it perfectly suited for melee, but its power net also explodes if the target stays within range long enough. The explosion will deal damage to your robot and restore some durability to Indra. ##### NEW WEAPONS: VAJRA, MAHA-VAJRA Both cannons send lightning balls to a distance of up to 500 meters. The energy projectiles mess with the target’s engines, slowing it down. The more projectiles hit the target, the slower it moves. Due to low accuracy, Vajra and Maha-Vajra work best at close range. ##### NEW PILOTS: VICTORIA, DR. OTTO **Victoria**: Seraph stays in the air longer and gets increased speed while flying. Victoria prefers chasing her dream as a combat pilot rather than following the beaten path of a social career in the colony. And what better way to do so than to join Wild Fire, the Iskra’s revolutionary crew? **Dr. Otto**: Radiation and plasma weapons get increased fire rate (works on Blight, Hazard, Decay, Magnum, Taran, and Redeemer). An adept of nuclear physics, Otto hoped to impress the Yan-Di academia with his groundbreaking invention. After a streak of safety incidents though he found himself ostracized. Well, there will be others who see the true value of my research, you know… ##### NEW DRONE: PATRON The drone will apply Stealth to your robot as soon as it gets affected by the Blind effect. It won’t save you from damage completely, but with Patron it will be easier to survive until you can aim again. ##### NEW TURRET: ANTI-JAMMING SUPPORT This T4 turret for Protection slot removes EMP, Blind, and Suppression from friendly targets and provides them with a temporary immunity to these effects. Installing additional turrets of the same type will increase the immunity duration. ##### NEW TITAN MODULE: DAMAGE CONTROLLER A passive defense module that decreases incoming structural "grey" damage and boosts the overall durability of your Titan. ##### BOOSTER SYSTEM OVERHAUL We’ve combined all boosters into 3 types: Offensive, Defensive, and Resources. Each of the new boosters includes bonuses from all old boosters of the same type. There are two notable exceptions however: the speed bonus was trasferred from the Offense to the Defense category and the Honor part of the Resource booster was replaced with Gold. New boosters activate automatical _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/767560/view/3391793024771319087]_
