**STRIKER**

##### VULCAN: NEW ROBOT BUILD

The first robot capable of upgrading itself mid-battle across multiple stages. By dealing damage, Vulcan's core heats up and overclocks, unlocking additional benefits for the robot and upgrading its primary ability. The longer it stays in the fight, the stronger it becomes, making it crucial to give Vulcan time to scale up after deployment if you want to push this machine to its absolute limit.

##### VULCAN

_This isn't even its final form._

**Unbound Protocol: **When activated, the robot generates a **Forcefield **and activates a built-in laser cannon, which automatically engages the target in its sights. By inflicting damage, the Vulcan heats up its reactor, progressing through several stages of upgrades:

**Stage 1 (Basic):** Upon activation, the Vulcan gains a Forcefield and activates a built-in laser cannon.

**Stage 2 (First Threshold):** The robot permanently activates two additional light weapons. The ability's effectiveness increases: Forcefield durability and the built-in laser cannon's damage are increased.

**Stage 3 (Second Threshold):** The reactor enters critical overheating mode. The Forcefield generator and built-in laser now operate constantly, and their effectiveness increases again. Due to the enormous load on the system, active use of the ability is blocked.

-  First threshold: 250,000 damage

-  First threshold bonus: 10%

-  Second threshold: 550,000 damage

-  Second threshold bonus: 20%

-  Force Field damage blocked: 88% to 45%

-  Force Field durability: 542,000

##### LUMEN L/M/H

_Fiat lux!_

Mid–range energy weapons that fire laser beams capable of locking onto an enemy robot and maintaining contact as long as the target remains in range. The beam can partially curve around terrain, making cover less effective. The longer the beam stays focused on an enemy, the more Thermal Breach stacks it applies, increasing the damage the target takes from all subsequent attacks.
