a level 3 cognitive canister to give it a 100% critical hit AoE attack with strong damage.Īt Level 3, it gains extra damage on its machine spirit attack (which takes however 2 turns to charge). It benefits enormously from the Secutor boosting abilities, e.g. It is recommended to summon the Kataphron using the "Reinforcement" ability (rank 9 Secutor), so it will take only 1 CP instead of 3 and be placed where it is the most needed. Be cautious however, the AoE can strike your own units. Especially given that the damage is high. The residual damage being the same as the direct one, it can put a strong dent in a large group of enemies. The Kataphron is straightforward: its only attack deals AoE damage in a large circle around the target. Having a mechanised chassis, it is a large unit taking 4 tiles instead of 1 (cannot take narrow paths) The Kataphron is one of the two end-game Skitarii units, being unlocked rather late and with a higher CP and blackstone cost than the others. The summoned troop will often (but not always) move right after your Tech-Priest. The Reinforcements ability allows to summon cheaply a single unit, for example a melee troop directly next to a Necron Deathmark, or one of your own snipers for quick eliminations. In particular, the Command Fire ability gives one free attack to all troops in range, focused on a single target. A Tech-Priest with the "Secutor" branch can significantly buff Skitarii using its array of support skills.
They provide significant help in most missions, so they should not be overlooked. They keep the same costs but gain abilities or stat buffs. The "upgraded" Skitarii (level 2 and level 3) are unlocked like any other troop, as a mission reward. Besides, mission rewards can further lower the blackstone cost. This fee is the only downside to them dying, so they are much more expendable than your Tech-Priests. Should they survive, you will earn back a portion of the blackstone fee depending on their remaining HP. Skitarii require cognition points (CP) to deploy in battle, and blackstone to be recruited for a mission (excepted the Servitor). Which means that sadly I cannot provide an unlock guide, only a description guide.Īs the Skitarii commander, Khepra very often rewards you with units in her quests. At the beginning of the game, only the Servitor is available, while others must be randomly unlocked and upgraded through missions. Eventually, you can recruit a variety of Skitarii to join the cohort, as playable units. Ingame, Skitarii are often mentioned as holding the line against the Necron tides so that your Tech-Priest cohort can enter the various tombs to explore. The Skitarii are the cyborg armies of the Adeptus Mechanicus, constitued of augmented cybernetic warriors.
