In the dev build Open from the start.

You keep people standing. Healing, shields and the timing to spend them — the crew fights harder because you are behind them.

Root on the room. What you hold, stays held; what you shield, holds.

Anchors and fusion

Designed Fusions are the game's design. See the full list of fusions.

Motherboard-9 is built around Rootkit and Hardlight, both open from creation. Together they fuse into Substation.

A node that shields allies inside it and repairs your deployables.

You bring the room online, and the room was always yours.

Substation

Signature

Designed No archetype signature works in the build yet.

Root Privilege. Your turrets and zones carry your own strengths, and an ally standing in your zone makes your holds as strong as they get.

The turret is not a turret. It is you, with more hands.

Kit

Designed This kit is the game's design. Nothing here runs in the build.

  • Solder Arc

    A sustained beam that never crits.

  • Sentry Fork

    Plant turrets.

  • Patch Beam

    Heal an ally. Releasing the beam leaves a shield behind.

  • Overshield Projector

    A protective dome.

  • Recompile

    The revive channel.

  • Helios Protocol

    The default Surge in the design: sweeping beams.

In the build, every Legend fights with SALVO's kit.

Doctrine tree

Partly built The Wetware Grid saves your picks. Most nodes do nothing in a fight yet.

Taking one node of a fork closes the other. See how the trees are built.

TechniqueWhat it does
Ground LoopSolder Arc jumps to a second target nearby at reduced strength.
Field PlantSentry Fork deploys much faster and boots pre-aimed.
Bedside MannerPatch Beam keeps healing for a moment after you break line of sight.
Staff CardTerminals and lockboxes in the field open faster and never raise an alarm.

Turrets

Swarm Fork

More sentries, each weaker. They die easily and you do not care.

Bastion Fork

One sentry with far more health and a shield skirt that allies can stand in.

Shields

Overshare

The overshield splits its protection across every ally inside when you release it.

Tourniquet

The overshield collapses onto one ally at far greater strength and cleanses a status.

Grand fork

Five Nines

Your deployables stop expiring while any ally stands near them. It closes out Root on the Room.

Root on the Room

Once per stratum, take a hostile ICE deployable or a door as your own for a short time.

Capstone. Named for the line's exemplar, a Workshop Block Legend. Your deployables carry your accent and your Grid, so every proc you own fires from them.

Nobody thanks the sysadmin until the room stops working.

You can save one of them properly or all of them badly.

The city's machines still think you work here. You have not corrected them.

Birthright

Partly built The Forge screen saves your frame. Most set abilities do not run yet.

The sets Motherboard-9 can frame from creation, anchors first.
