Revision as of 20:18, 27 February 2017 by Hewhoispale (talk | contribs) (Codices don't have ranks)

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.
