Robotics
Robotics is medicine for the metal. In a squad with Skeletons, it is not optional — it is the medkit.
What It Does
Robotics governs repairing Skeleton characters and working with robotic limbs — both crafting them and fitting them to organic characters who have lost limbs.
Hidden Effects
Skeletons cannot be healed with normal first aid; they need Skeleton Repair Kits applied through Robotics. A squad with Skeletons must have a robotics specialist.
How XP Works
Robotics trains by repairing Skeletons and working with robotic components.
Best Training Methods
Keep a dedicated repair specialist and let them patch up Skeleton squadmates after fights. Robotic-limb crafting also builds the skill.
Common Mistakes
Running Skeletons without a Robotics character or Repair Kits. A damaged Skeleton with no repair option is dead weight.
“Fight at chokepoints. Being surrounded, not being outmatched, is what kills squads.”
