− | + | Am '''apocriton''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]]. | |
− | == | + | == Summary == |
− | + | {{Mechanoid Summary}} It has 80% [[EMP]] resistance, so EMP attacks stun it for 80% less time. | |
+ | |||
+ | Along with [[termite]]s, apocritons are the only mechanoids that can't be [[mechanoid creation|gestated]] by your colony. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===As an enemy=== | ||
+ | {{Stub|section=1|reason=''Lots'' of Check Tags. Also EMP stun thing? skipResistant in def? AOE and canUseAoeToGetTargets in def?}} | ||
+ | You can summon a hostile Apocriton with a [[mechanitor]] and a [[mechband dish]], destroying the dish in the process. Therefore, summoning one requires the [[Research#High Mechtech|High Mechtech]] research. However, they are not exclusive to summoning, as strong enough mechanoid raids may feature one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The apocriton carries a long-range [[toxic needle gun]] and is accompanied by other mechanoids. It has the ability to resurrect fallen mechanoids, induce negative moods in humans on the map, and jump long distances. Apocritons will spawn with a heavy shield unit, which has a strength of 400%. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apocritons can resurrect any hostile mechanoid within a 9.9 tile radius that has been dead for less than {{ticks|3600}}, even if it was resurrected before. The effects of resurrection are the same as a [[mech gestator]]. This ability does not require [[line of sight]], meaning it can resurrect mechs behind walls. There is a short {{ticks|240}} warmup before the mech arises. There is a {{ticks|480}} cooldown after each resurrection before the ability can be used again. An apocriton starts with 30 "charges" to use this ability when spawned. Resurrecting a Light class mech costs 1 charge, resurrecting a Medium class mech costs 3 charge, and resurrecting a Heavy class mech costs 5 charge. Ultra-heavy class mechs and other apocritons cannot be resurrected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is also capable of leaping to any tile within a 9.9 tile radius, outside a 5.9 tile radius and within [[line of sight]]. Therefore, it can jump over [[rock chunk]]s and [[fence]]s, but not [[wall]]s. There is a short {{ticks|30}} warm-up before jumping. It cannot be hurt mid-jump, even by explosions directly under it, but can still get hit during a short warm-up before jumping. There is a {{ticks|480}} cooldown after each jump.{{Check Tag|Verify}} Apocritons will jump when confronted by a melee enemy. | ||
− | + | The negative thought inflicted by the apocriton covers the whole map, and is scaled by [[psychic sensitivity]] like a [[psychic soothe]] and [[psychic drone]]. It affects all humanlike pawns on the map, regardless of faction. Though this effect has a long range, the value of the debuff is also affected by the pawn's distance to the apocriton. If the distance is 5 tiles or shorter, the pawn receives a {{--|16}} mood debuff, if the distance is between 5 and 12 tiles, the pawn receives a {{--|10}} mood debuff, and if the distance is greater than 12, the pawn receives a {{--|4}} mood debuff. | |
− | + | Defeating a hostile apocriton will drop a [[nano structuring chip]]. This can be used to research [[Research#Ultra mechtech|Ultra Mechtech]] and [[Research#Wastepack atomizer|Wastepack Atomizer]]. | |

The wave count is per playthrough, not per colony or map.{{Check Tag|Archonexus?|Confirm the wave count doesn't reset after archonexus transfer}} If the apocriton is summoned once on one map, summoning another on a second map will bring the second wave. |

− | + | ? | |
− | + | The mysterious apocriton is an intelligent commander mechanoid and psychic warrior that harbors endless hatred for humanity. Not much is known about it, except that its psychic powers poison the human mind with rage. Its weapon is hatred. | |
− | + | Much smaller and less durable than the other mechanoid boss units. | |
− | + | This is it! The final Biotech boss fight! If you managed to find victory over the brutal war queen, apocriton shouldn't give you much trouble. The first Apocriton summon spawns with several scythers and militors. and has the ability to revive them. However, all of these units have tiny attack range! You can just stand back and destroy them over and over with gunfire. Like the war queen, apocriton can only use its abilities for 30 times. Its 400% heavy shield unit can be hard to break using ranged attacks, and it is harder to kill it using melee since it can disengage from melee combat using its leap ability. If you are unable to take it down quickly, prioritize on killing weaker mechanoids such as the [[militor|militors]] so the apocriton wastes its ability. | |
