Skills & Behavior

Primary: Beam Attack

The Solus Probe attacks by firing a blue beam at the player, similar to the Stone Titan'sStone Titan
Crisis VanguardHP: 2100 (+630 per level)
Damage: 40 (+8 per level)
Class: Ranged / Melee
Speed: 5 m/s
Armor: 20 laser attack but slower. This beam rapidly deals 20% damage with a proc coefficient of 0.2 per tick. The beam ticks every 0.2 seconds (scales with attack speed) and has a range of 60m.

There is a 2 second cooldown between turning the beam off and back on.

Behaviors

1. Use primary and flee: the Solus Probe must be within 20m from its target. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. This behavior will be active for 3 seconds.
2. Use primary and strafe: the Solus Probe must be within 20-40m from its target. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. This behavior will be active for 3 seconds.
3. Chase: no requirements, as long as the acquired target is alive. This behavior will be active for 2 seconds.
4. Return to leader: the Solus Probe must have an owner and be more than 10m away. It will try to acquire a new target on the next frame, so it will stay near the leader until it successfully does so. If the leader dies before the Solus Probe has found a new target, this behavior will not be selectable and as such it will switch to the Wander AI state.

Tips
