Long War of the Chosen Main Page
SPARK
SPARK
These high-powered robotic units can unleash devastating frontline attacks or absorb incoming fire and protect the squad.

Class Overview

The SPARK is the spiritual successor to the S.H.I.V. and MEC Troopers of Long War 1. Fully robotic, yet able to level up like normal soldiers, and expensive to produce. To build SPARKs, you need to have completed the Shen's Last Gift DLC missions or the Mechanized Warfare project.

SPARKs have their own armor and weapons, and they do not have utility slots like regular soldiers. Instead they have a single Heavy Weapon slot which by default contains the Shredder Gun. After researching appropriate projects, this can be swapped out for the improved Shredstorm Cannon or a Plasma Blaster.

SPARKs are more expensive for infiltration. They also can't become Haven advisors, Officers, train XCOM row abilities, or participate in Covert Actions.

The SPARK BIT has the ability to remotely hack targets just like the Specialist's GREMLIN.

Weapons

Primary: SPARK Rifles

Secondary: SPARK BIT

Abilities

Rank Ability
Squire
Squire
Overdrive
*A recoil penalty of -15% Aim is applied after each Standard Shot while Overdrive is active. *Overdrive has no cost to activate, but has a 5 turn cooldown.
Take three actions this turn, and no action is turn-ending. Multiple Standard Shots incur a small recoil penalty.
Kinetic Strike
*You can trigger the Kinetic Strike ability by placing the movement cursor over an enemy. *The SPARK can perform a "Dash" move, using both actions to move, and still trigger a Strike against an adjacent enemy. *Kinetic Strike will do 7/9.5/12 damage, depending on the equipped chassis. *Kinetic Strike's chance to hit is based off the SPARK's aim with a +15 boost. *Learning the Assault Servos ability will grant +2 damage and an extra +10 aim to all Kinetic Strike attacks.
Attack any enemy within movement range with a devastating punch. 3-turn cooldown. Damage is dependent on equipped chassis.
Reboot
*The SPARK will be put into Stasis the first time each mission that its health hits zero. *Without the Redundant Systems ability, the SPARK is crippled after rebooting from catastrophic damage, suffering massive penatlies to aim, mobility, and hacking. *Because of there drawbacks, in combination with the SPARK's already low hull integrity at the time of a Reboot, it is recommended rebooted SPARKs be withdrawn from the battlefield via Skyranger when possible. *Thanks to a complex network of redundant plating, reactivation circuits, and a single-charge shield projector, the SPARK can take one for the team secure in the knowledge that it will live to punch another day.
If the SPARK takes enough damage to be killed, its health will be reduced to just 1 HP and it will be shielded for the rest of the turn. Can only trigger once every mission, and afterwards the SPARK is crippled.
Repair
* Repair will restore 4/6/8 HP based on BIT tier * Repair has 1 charge per mission and gains an additional charge with the Enhanced Repair Systems ability. * Using Repair as your first action will end your turn without the Rapid Repair ability. * Repair has a 1-turn cooldown (cannot be used multiple times per turn).
Send the BIT to a damaged robotic ally and heal it, neutralize acid, and repair all shredded armor.
Arsenal
