The Andromedon Shell (2nd stage) is considered a separate unit from the Andromedon (1st stage). The Andromedon is vulnerable to mental handicaps such as Disoriented and Mind Control, while the Andromedon Shell is vulnerable to EMP Grenades, Haywire Protocol, and extra damage from Combat Protocol, Capacitor Discharge and Bluescreen Rounds.īoth the Andromedon and Andromedon Shell are immune to fire, acid, and poison damage. The Andromedon Shell loses all of its armor, its Andromedon Cannon, and Acid Bomb, but it can still attack with its Fist Strike and will leave behind acid on tiles it walks past. When the Andromedon's Health drops to 0, the Andromedon will die, but its suit will re-activate and become a mechanical unit, the Andromedon Shell. The Andromedon is able to shoot an explosive shot of acid at enemies in the form of the Acid Bomb, which deals acid damage in an area, shredding armor and causing Acid Burn, along with leaving a pool of acid which can cause Acid Burn against units that walk through it.Īlso, the Andromedon is able to devastate enemies in melee range with a Fist Strike, a melee attack that, while inaccurate, deals more damage than any other melee attack in the game, and destroys cover. This allows it to be an effective frontline combat unit. The Andromedon is a heavily armed and armored unit, having a massive health pool and heavy armored plating, and wielding a deadly Andromedon Cannon that can deal huge damage and shred the armor of targets hit. Furthermore, when the pilot is killed, the Battlesuit itself reactivates and begins autonomously charging into melee, laying a trail of deadly coolant in its wake. Otherwise it wields a heavy plasma cannon, and can launch its deadly suit coolant at grouped targets. The Battlesuit allows it to crash through walls and deliver devastating, albeit inaccurate, melee attacks.
Encased in an environment-sealed Battlesuit, the Andromedon is a tough enemy that is immune to fire, poison and acid damage.
