Abilities:

Armored Core: This ability cannot be removed by Strategist. This unit pilots an Armored Core mech. This mech has two primary weapon slots (hands), and two secondary slots (mounted on the shoulders of the mech). After moving, this character may take an engagement with each of these four mounted armaments. This means the mech can attack up to four times in one turn. This unit may choose to focus multiple of its armaments on a single foe during a single engagement. This will be treated the same as using dual-wield or four-arm wield. Of note, this ability does not impact counter, meaning the mech must choose an armament for countering when attacked. However, dual-wielding will allow this unit to counter with two armaments. Only AC armaments purchased with abilities may be used by this mech. Costs: 10 pg

2-AC Flame Swords: Advanced armament. Primary Armaments. These weapons may only be used once every other turn. Base 5000 fire/blade type damage. These swords are still buffed by Proficiency. 1 range. If initiating, these weapons deal 3x damage. If a foe is Posture Broken, this unit may immediately move adjacent to them and strike them with this weapon. These weapons deal 50% more damage to staggered foes (multiplied on top of the normal damage boost)

Costs: 4 pg

AC Shield: Secondary Armament. These impressive shields may be used when attacking rather than using a weapon. With the "Armored Core" ability, these shields may be paired with a primary weapon and used during one of those engagements. These shields will always protect the AC as the front-most shield, and they will be active when defending unless the AC pilot chooses to not activate them in that engagement. These shields are boosted by the shield, energy, and light skills and item boosts. If broken, going to the ship to "reload" will repair these shields.

-Heavy: -15 speed (at all times). As sturdy as 7 scale pendants. 10000 defense.

AC Posture Break: This character will slowly break down the posture of his foe. Each strike it lands will decrease the posture of the foe by 1/4 if this character is a higher skill in its weapon skill. If not, the strikes will reduce posture by 1/8. If attacking a foe who is not a mech, this ability will deal half the normal posture damage. Unlike normal Posture Breaks, this ability is able to damage posture even from long range. Once a foe's posture is broken, they will take 50% more damage from all attacks until the end of the engagement. Certain mech weapons also may trigger abilities in response to breaking the posture of the foe. Costs: 6 pg

They cannot be avoided using dodge roll or teleport dodge. 500 (1000) explosion-type damage and 1-3 range. +30 hit. This storm of missiles takes a week to reload. These missiles must be split as evenly as possible between all foes in range. Base Costs: 20 pg
