Mason

2025-01-06T22:39:46Z

Jenbak: Added the build range buff. Only in description because UnitData doesn' t have build range.

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a construction rover from the [[Rover Assembly]].{{Autoinfobox zkunit
| defname = vehcon
}}==Description==
Highly mobile and capable of taking a beating, the Mason can quickly expand over a large area. Has an extended build range of 210 elmo instead of the usual 180.

Fast and fairly sturdy for its price, the Gremlin is good budget mobile anti-air. It can cloak for free, allowing it to provide unexpected anti-air protection or escape ground forces it's defenseless against.

= Tactics and Strategy =
The Gremlin does not have an especially strong anti-air weapon for its cost, but its cloak allows it to ambush enemy air units, especially gunships. Gremlins may also be used as cheap scouts or spotters for artillery, remember to toggle hold fire if intended they stay hidden should a stray flying unit close in.

}}
| abilities =
{{ Infobox zkability regen
| idleregen = 20
| timetoenable = 5.0
}}
}}==Description==
The Reaver's devastating heavy Energy Machine Gun is effective versus most enemy units, in particular raiders. It performs poorly versus static defense, so do not use it as an assault unit. Counter by staying out of their range, as they are slow. Reavers quickly regenerate damage when out of combat.

= Tactics and Strategy =
The Reaver is a fearsome combatant at close quarters, but suffers from low range and speed. As such, they are best employed in combination with another unit (like the [[Glaive]] or [[Ronin]]) which can deal with any opposing long-range attackers. Alternatively, an [[Iris]] or multiple [[Charon|Charons]] will let your Reavers close the distance before the opposition can react.

Ronin

Jenbak: Jan 21 balance change

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a skirmisher bot (direct-fire) from the [[Cloakbot Factory]].{{ Infobox zkunit
| name = Ronin
| defname = cloakskirm
| description = Skirmisher Bot (Direct-Fire)

| damage = 180
| reloadtime = 3.5
| dps = 51
| range = 455
| aoe = 24
| projectilespeed = 200
}}
}}==Description==
The Ronin's low damage, low speed unguided rockets are redeemed by their range. They are most effective in a line formation, firing at maximum range and kiting the enemy.

When reloading, their movement speed is reduced by 66% (dropping it to 55.4 elmo/s)

= Tactics and Strategy =
Compared to most other skirmishers the Ronin has less range, but is very cheap and inflicts more damage for its cost. Furthermore, unlike most skirmishers the Ronin's projectile travels horizontally rather than arcing, so they cannot fire past each other effectively. Therefore, good positioning is essential for Ronins to fire uninterrupted, and to avoid losing many Ronins at once to area-of-effect attacks.

Commander

2023-11-01T09:13:46Z

Jenbak: Disruptor Bomb AoE 256

{{TOC right}}
At the start of a match, you are given the option to select a [[#Commander Chassis|Commander Chassis]].

[[File:commstrike.png|Strike Commander|link=#Strike Commander]]
[[File:commassault.png|Guardian Commander|link=#Guardian Commander]]
[[File:commrecon.png|Recon Commander|link=#Recon Commander]]
[[File:commsupport.png|Engineer Commander|link=#Engineer Commander]]
[[File:cremcom.png|Campaign Commander|link=#Campaign Commander]]

Your desired play style will determine which of the Commanders would suit you best. Their main differences are summarized in the following table:
{| class="wikitable"
! style="text-align:left"|Commander !! HP !! Speed !! Can Jump !! Build Power !! Modules
|-
! scope="row" style="text-align:left"|Strike
| High || Fast|| No || Normal || Versatile
|-
! scope="row" style="text-align:left"|Guardian

! scope="row" style="text-align:left"|Engineer
| Medium || Slow || No || Improved || Support
|-
! scope="row" style="text-align:left"|Campaign
| High || Medium || Module || Normal || All
|}

= Modules and weapons =

Your Commander can be configured with a variety of [[#Module types|Modules]] to better suit your play style. A Commander can be made more powerful in the middle of a round by using the 'Morph' command to gain levels. Each time you morph to a higher Commander Level, you spend metal to attach new modules.

Modules can have different costs. Morphs to a new Level have a base cost and additional cost for each module selected.

Commanders start with a Beam Laser and a radar module attached.

At Level 2, it is possible to replace your starting [[#Weapon types|Weapon]].

At Level 4, a second weapon (or a [[#Weapon types|Special Weapon]]) can be added. Some weapons at this level require the use of both hands.

Each added level past level 2 gives the Commander a health boost. Commanders can morph an unlimited number of times until all possible modules are attached. Engineer Commanders will also gain additional build power with each level.

Favorite loadouts can be created and saved (up to Commander Level 6) for online play.

== Experience Points (XP) ==

=== Campaign ===
* Each mission gives fixed XP for having completed them
* Each bonus objective gives XP
* If you've completed all the bonus objectives then you've got all the XP for a mission

== General scaling per level ==

Commanders start at level 1. The number of modules and weapons increases with level. Equipping weapons and modules costs additional Metal, and upgrade time scales proportionally with Metal cost.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! scope="row"|Commander level !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 !! 6 !! +

== Module types ==
Modules have cyan names in the unlock list. Their icon color depends on their nature.

=== Stackable ===
{{unit image|module_ablative_armor}} {{unit image|module_autorepair}} {{unit image|module_high_power_servos}}

These modules are able to be stacked up to 5 times each. Stacking them repeatedly will create a powerful Commander, even though their bonuses as quite minor. These are cyan.

This type of module is the one that should be used the most, and because of their versatility, they are useful if you intend on getting Commanders which do many things, or a single buff Commander that is fast, invisible and deals lots of damage. Some of these modules will subtract speed or HP and should be used with caution, as too many will leave the Commander a sitting duck.

== Weapon types ==
There are two types of weapon, special and normal. Both weapon types are affected by the stackable range and damage modules. Weapon names are in red.

=== Normal ===

These are auto-targeting normal weapons that behave the same was as any other unit. They can be affected by weapon boosters and weapon converters given that it is the right weapon. Selecting a weapon at Level 2 has no additional cost. Adding a secondary weapon at Level 4 adds 350 to the upgrade cost. Normal weapons are all affected by stackable modules. They are red.

= Commander Chassis =
There are different types of Commander chassis to choose for a battle.

You can configure custom Commanders based on these chassis on your user page. You must be logged in to the Zero-K website and go to [//zero-k.info/My/Commanders My Commanders] page. These custom Commanders may be selected at the beginning of the game in multiplayer matches. You will still need to upgrade them as usual, but the upgrade options will be pre-filled in to your preferences.

== Common attributes ==
{| class="wikitable"
| '''Metal Production''' || 4 per sec || '''Energy Production''' || 6 per sec
|-
| '''Beam Range''' || 330 || '''HP Regen''' || 5 per sec
|-
| '''Sight Distance'''|| 500 || '''Sonar Distance''' || 500
|-
| '''Radar Distance'''|| 1800 || '''Metal/Energy Storage''' || 500
|-
| '''Build Power''' || 10 || '''Build Power (Recon/Engineer)''' || 8/12+
|-
| '''Build Range''' || 144 || '''Build Range (Engineer)''' || 220+
|}

Metal and energy production come from a unique '''Vanguard Economy Pack''' module. Any resurrected Commanders will have lost this module and produce no resources. Engineer Commanders gain additional build power and range with levels.

== Chassis list ==
Attributes on level 1 and level 2 are equal with the exception of Engineer and Recon Commander's build power. Morphing to level 2 provides no bonus other than the weapon and module slot.

The campaign Commander is normally exclusive to the campaign. It can be used in multiplayer and skirmishes with the [[Battle Options#Start|modoption]] "Allow campaign commander chassis".
* All-rounder
* Good health and Medium speed (40)
* Can use any weapon or module

= Exact effects of attribute modifiers =
Attribute modifiers are applied in this order:
* Commander Chassis absolute statistics
* Percentage modifiers both from modules and chassis
* Absolute modifiers

Percentage modifiers from Commanders and stackable modules are additive, not cumulative. Five +10% damage modules multiply a Commander's damage by 1.5 rather than by 1.1{{pow|5}} = 1.61051.

Percentage modifiers from weapon boosters and converters are cumulative and applied before other percentage modifiers. Think of them as changing the intrinsic stats of the weapon rather than adding a bonus.

{{TOC right}}
At the start of a match, you are given the option to select a [[#Commander Chassis|Commander Chassis]].

[[File:commstrike.png|Strike Commander|link=#Strike Commander]]

[[File:commrecon.png|Recon Commander|link=#Recon Commander]]
[[File:commsupport.png|Engineer Commander|link=#Engineer Commander]]
[[File:cremcom.png|Campaign Commander|link=#Campaign Commander]]

Your desired play style will determine which of the Commanders would suit you best. Their main differences are summarized in the following table:
{| class="wikitable"
! style="text-align:left"|Commander !! HP !! Speed !! Can Jump !! Build Power !! Modules
|-
! scope="row" style="text-align:left"|Strike
| High || Fast|| No || Normal || Versatile

|}

= Modules and weapons =

Your Commander can be configured with a variety of [[#Module types|Modules]] to better suit your play style. A Commander can be made more powerful in the middle of a round by using the 'Morph' command to gain levels. Each time you morph to a higher Commander Level, you spend metal to attach new modules.

Modules can have different costs. Morphs to a new Level have a base cost and additional cost for each module selected.

Commanders start with a Beam Laser and a radar module attached.

At Level 2, it is possible to replace your starting [[#Weapon types|Weapon]].

At Level 4, a second weapon (or a [[#Weapon types|Special Weapon]]) can be added. Some weapons at this level require the use of both hands.

Each added level past level 2 gives the Commander a health boost. Commanders can morph an unlimited number of times until all possible modules are attached. Engineer Commanders will also gain additional build power with each level.

Favorite loadouts can be created and saved (up to Commander Level 6) for online play.

== Experience Points (XP) ==

=== Campaign ===
* Each mission gives fixed XP for having completed them
* Each bonus objective gives XP
* If you've completed all the bonus objectives then you've got all the XP for a mission

== General scaling per level ==

Commanders start at level 1. The number of modules and weapons increases with level. Equipping weapons and modules costs additional Metal, and upgrade time scales proportionally with Metal cost.

== Module types ==
Modules have cyan names in the unlock list. Their icon color depends on their nature.

=== Stackable ===
{{unit image|module_ablative_armor}} {{unit image|module_autorepair}} {{unit image|module_high_power_servos}}

These modules are able to be stacked up to 5 times each. Stacking them repeatedly will create a powerful Commander, even though their bonuses as quite minor. These are cyan.

This type of module is the one that should be used the most, and because of their versatility, they are useful if you intend on getting Commanders which do many things, or a single buff Commander that is fast, invisible and deals lots of damage. Some of these modules will subtract speed or HP and should be used with caution, as too many will leave the Commander a sitting duck.

These modules are expensive but give a large bonus to a few specific weapons but can only be applied once. They require a level 3 Commander. They are a space-effective way to spend a module slot, but you need to have a weapon that they affect. They are purple.

== Weapon types ==
There are two types of weapon, special and normal. Both weapon types are affected by the stackable range and damage modules. Weapon names are in red.

=== Normal ===
{{unit image|commweapon_beamlaser}} {{unit image|commweapon_rocketlauncher}} {{unit image|commweapon_lightninggun}}

These are auto-targeting normal weapons that behave the same was as any other unit. They can be affected by weapon boosters and weapon converters given that it is the right weapon. Selecting a weapon at Level 2 has no additional cost. Adding a secondary weapon at Level 4 adds 350 to the upgrade cost. Normal weapons are all affected by stackable modules. They are red.

= Commander Chassis =
There are different types of Commander chassis to choose for a battle.

You can configure custom Commanders based on these chassis on your user page. You must be logged in to the Zero-K website and go to [//zero-k.info/My/Commanders My Commanders] page. These custom Commanders may be selected at the beginning of the game in multiplayer matches. You will still need to upgrade them as usual, but the upgrade options will be pre-filled in to your preferences.

== Common attributes ==
{| class="wikitable"
| '''Metal Production''' || 4 per sec || '''Energy Production''' || 6 per sec
|-
| '''Beam Range''' || 330 || '''HP Regen''' || 5 per sec
|-
| '''Sight Distance'''|| 500 || '''Sonar Distance''' || 500
|-
| '''Radar Distance'''|| 1800 || '''Metal/Energy Storage''' || 500
|-
| '''Build Power''' || 10 || '''Build Power (Recon/Engineer)''' || 8/12+
|-
| '''Build Range''' || 144 || '''Build Range (Engineer)''' || 220+
|}

Metal and energy production come from a unique '''Vanguard Economy Pack''' module. Any resurrected Commanders will have lost this module and produce no resources. Engineer Commanders gain additional build power and range with levels.

== Chassis list ==
Attributes on level 1 and level 2 are equal with the exception of Engineer and Recon Commander's build power. Morphing to level 2 provides no bonus other than the weapon and module slot.

= Exact effects of attribute modifiers =
Attribute modifiers are applied in this order:
* Commander Chassis absolute statistics
* Percentage modifiers both from modules and chassis
* Absolute modifiers

Percentage modifiers from Commanders and stackable modules are additive, not cumulative. Five +10% damage modules multiply a Commander's damage by 1.5 rather than by 1.1{{pow|5}} = 1.61051.

Percentage modifiers from weapon boosters and converters are cumulative and applied before other percentage modifiers. Think of them as changing the intrinsic stats of the weapon rather than adding a bonus.

The missiles can take damage while on the Silo, and if they (or the Silo itself) are destroyed, the missiles will explode. While missiles cannot be intercepted while they are in flight, they might hit the ground (especially if terraformed) or a shield and explode before they reach the intended target.

Zeno is an experimental single impact slowing device with a lingering slow AOE.

== Tactics and Strategy ==
With the immense slow damage it applies to the primary target along with its unique homing capabilities and range equal to the [[Quake]]. The Zeno can be used to help catch enemy key targets from almost any distance. However, the lingering zone that it spawns can also make it difficult to follow up with your own units, as the zone affects every unit inside.

Keep in mind the slow speed of the missile, which can slightly delay a prepared attack but also give the enemy room to react.

}}==Description==
The Amphibious Operations Plant builds the slow but sturdy amphibious bots, providing an alternative approach to land/sea warfare. Units from this factory typically regenerate while submerged.

The Amphbot Factory builds:
* http://manual.zero-k.info/unitpics/amphcon.png [[Conch]]   Amphibious Construction Bot
* http://manual.zero-k.info/unitpics/amphraid.png [[Duck]]   Raider Bot (Anti-Sub)

* http://manual.zero-k.info/unitpics/amphtele.png [[Djinn]]   Teleport Bridge
* http://manual.zero-k.info/unitpics/amphlaunch.png [[Lobster]]   Launcher Bot

==Tactics and Strategy==

The Amphbot Factory produces slow but tough bots that can travel up hills, across the flats and into the water. Some Amphbots like the Grizzly and Buoy float to the water surface to deploy their weapons, while others such as the Duck and Scallop remain underwater and fire from there.

While they may be slow the Amphbots compensate with several tricks. They can hide and regenerate underwater, inflict slow damage on the enemy, or use special tools to relocate their army quickly. If the map has a lot of water [[Hovercraft Platform|Hovercrafts]] are a good choice to support your Amphbots. Otherwise, a more mobile factory like the [[Jumpbot Factory|Jumpbots]] can compensate for the Amphbots' weaknesses.

=== Example Unit Combinations ===

Buoys are not helpless against fast-moving raiders but they will fare a lot better if protected by Ducks or Archers. The same principle extends to escorting Grizzlies against raiders.

The slow damage inflicted by Limpet will only last for a limited time - use Buoys to extend the slow duration.

The Lobster works best with units that attack at close range, but struggle to close the distance on their own - think Scallop, Limpet, [[Imp]] or [[Snitch]]. You also use two lobsters to throw each other around with a group of units.

Djinni are expensive but moving units quickly and directly over long distances has definite advantages. Try relocating expensive units to like Grizzly or [[Dante]] to forestall enemy attacks, or to recover these valuable units for repair.

=== Beating Amphbots ===

The Amphbot raiders (Duck and Archer) are not especially effective against buildings but they tend to defeat other factories' raiders in a fair fight. Since the Amphbot raiders are slower, you should either keep your raiders away from them or engage with other units (many Skirmishers are surprisingly effective, even in small numbers).

Until they can afford a Grizzly, the Amphbots struggle to defeat fast-moving skirmishers like the [[Ronin]] and [[Recluse]] with conventional tactics. Use this weakness against them in the early game.

If the map has any water bodies Amphbots become a lot more threatening, since they can retreat underwater to hide and repair. Buoys are especially annoying since they can bob up and down, continually harassing you from safety. You'll need to either build a lot of Urchins, terraform the water away, or switch to your own water-capable factory (Amph or Hovers) to dislodge them.
