Overview

Based on their respective units from Red Alert 2, but with SkeletorChampion coming in and saying "nah I'm model them to fit RoR2, and look awesome, and my dong is enormous".

Tesla Trooper is a mid-range bruiser on his own, and an all-range monster when he builds his Tesla Tower.

Desolator is a walking powerhouse of radiation and area damage.

Changelog

2.2.3

• fixed desolator scepter resetting when zetaspects is installed
  • skill will still reset if a buff is lost while in special because of code jank on scepter's end. full fix to completely workaround all this coming at some point.
• fixed desolator rad cannon not spinning when deployed

2.2.2

• fixed Tesla Trooper Surging Forward while rooted locking you in purgatory
• fixed Tesla Trooper M2 conflict with autosprint, only a year after it was reported
• Desolator passive now counts stacks from SS2U Nucleator dot

2.2.1

• forgot to update text to the changes of last patch woops

2.2.0

• tesla trooper
  • passive: ally buff multiplier 1.3 -> 1.1
  • passive: ally buff shock duration 1 - 3.5
  • secondary (empowered): 1200% -> 1500%
    • He gets a lot of feedback that he's very strong, this may surprise you, because he also gets a lot of feedback that he's weak.
    • I suspect a giant culprit is those people don't know to buff the tower before using secondary, missing out on a lot of his potential damage (1200% * 1.3 = 1560%)
    • These changes remove this aspect from being a necessity, in exchange buffing a bit of its utility when you do decide to use it
    • If you liked that aspect, configs will come at some point so you can revert these changes
  • primary: animation plays on each bolt
    • as well as the tower aspect, I suspect the people are also missing out on tripling close-range primary damage. more feedback on doing multiple hits should help with this.
  • Utility: sound now plays when absorbing damage, increasing in pitch based on damage absorbed
    • thanks rob for the suggestion. I agree with all your others as well so they'll come at some point
    • except except when you said it does a whole lot of nothing. late game it's a free 1800% with a giant aoe ya goon
  • secondary (empowered): now commands Starstorm 2 Shock Drones as well
  • fix potential nullref spam on tracking component
• Desolator
  • fixed a bug where sceptered special reverts to regular special after using it
    • I assume. I could not reproduce it so if it still happens to you, let me know and give a log
  • he'll get some more love I promise
