Codex (LW2)

The Codex is physical manifestation of alien ICE. They exist in a strange space between being technological without being mechanical. They will typically dart around the edges of a battle causing disruption and flanking targets.

Codex Abilities

Ability
Malfunction Create a large rift that jams the primary weapons of units in it and explodes the following turn.
Clone Create a duplicate of this unit when injured.
Tech Vulnerability The codex is effected by abilities that do bonus damage to mechanical units.
Teleport This unit teleports instead of moving.

• Tech Vulnerability means that the Codex would take the extra damage from Combat Protocol, but is not subject to Haywire Protocol.
• Teleporting does not trigger overwatch fire.
• When activating Clone, the Codex's remaining HP is split between the original and the clone.
• Cloned Codices do not have access to the full host of abilities.
• Codices are susceptible to flashbangs, which prevents them from cloning when injured.
• Codices get stunned for 0 action points which means that they can act at the beginning of the next turn but can be shot at without being able to clone.
