Welcome to the future of warfare, General! Update 50 is here! Let’s dive into its game-changing elements! 1. THE DRONE & THE MECH UNITS Ground-breaking new units are here to revolutionize the game, transform your battle strategy, and provide you with the extraordinary ability to turn the tides in any battle. The DRONES are deadly offensive units that strike from above. The MECHS are defensive-oriented war machines. The Drones and Mechs are unique because you can customize them with new, cutting-edge Programming, which allows you to obtain and enhance various crucial bonuses. On top of the standard unit stats, the Drones and Mechs have exclusive Passive Skills! DRONES: - Odd-numbered tier Drones, AKA Hornets, deal bonus damage when attacking. - The Valkyries, or the even-numbered tier Drones, provide bonus armor when attacking. MECHS - The odd-tier Mantis Mech units boost damage when defending. - The Myrmidons, or the even-tier Mechs, enhance armor when defending. 1.1 DRONE & MECH PROGRAMMING - The Drones and Mechs have a unique motherboard with seven slots and ten connections. - By socketing chips to the motherboard’s slots, you can enhance and customize the new units from the inside with various formidable Offensive and Defensive bonuses. - Each chip has a percentage range for the impact of its bonus. - You can massively increase this range by adding connector items to the chip. - When you socket a chip to a slot on the motherboard, its bonus is activated and takes a random percentage from its current range. - You can increase the final bonus by connecting the chip to other chips on the motherboard. - The motherboard also has a special MOTHERBOARD BONUS that boosts all units from a particular type in your active army by transferring a percentage of their bonus from one unit type to another. For example, a bonus might apply 40% of your armored damage to your Aerial HP. - The transfer bonus stacks on top of what you already have, so it doesn't remove or decrease your existing enhancements. - Receiving the full power of the motherboard bonus depends on the percentage of Drones or Mechs you have in your active army. - The motherboard bonuses come with a condition: To benefit from their full power, you must have a certain percentage of Drones or Mechs in battle. Operating with a smaller quantity than that which is requested for the specific bonus will result in a weaker effect. - The type of bonus will define which unit, between Drones and Mechs, must join your army. - You will best benefit from the Programming if you vary your army to maximize your bonus transfer! - The motherboard bonus can be further increased by socketing chips to their matching color-coded slots. - If all seven slots have the correct chips installed, the motherboard bonus increases even more. 1.2 PROGRAMMING CENTER The programming of the Drones and Mechs occurs in the new Programming Center, unlocked at HQ level 24. This new addition will provide you with 2 means to increase your bonuses - Motherboard bonus and Chips 1.3 BUILDING DRONES AND MECHS - You can craft the new units in the Unit Factory. - Repairs and modernization take place in the Garage. - The first two tiers require the standard resources used for building units. - To build Tier 11-15 drones and mechs you would need the new Debris Parts - To unlock Debris, you need to build the Programming Center. - Debris accumulates from destroyed units in combat. - To unlock in-battle Debris, you must reach level 4 of the Programming Center. - You can also get Debris by salvaging chips and connectors.
