Equipment, Augments, and Abilities
Equipment
Battle Fish can equip 2 out of 3 pieces of equipment, depending on whether they are classed as DPS or TANK.
The 3 types of equipment are:
- Minor Weapon (DPS & TANK) — When equipped, these increase the base ATK DMG and ATK SPD of Auto Attacks.
- Ultimate Weapon (DPS Only) — When equipped, these provide a unique “Ultimate Ability” which is charged by successful auto attacks. When fully charged, the player activates the Ultimate Ability manually. After this ability is used, it begins charging again from 0.
- Armor Plating (TANK Only) — When equipped, these add GUARD stats to Battle Fish which can include DEF, Dodge, and/or Healing.
Equipment Augments
Visiting the Augment vendor gives players the option to spend in-game currency to add additional bonuses to their equipment in the form of Technical Augmentations.
Doing this isn’t as simple as swapping tokens for bonuses however, and it doesn’t always work out for the best.
Every time an augmentation is attempted, users are presented with a % of success/failure. If the augmentation fails, nothing happens. If it is a Critical Failure, the item is reverted back to its original state without any upgrades.
Success/Failure rate scales with the level of the item and the level of augmentation. The price of attempting the upgrade also rises with the level of item and augmentation.
Abilities
Battle Fish also have abilities they can use during battle which are improved in different ways by the equipment they have equipped.
- DPS Fish — DPS fish inherit Ultimate Abilities from equipping Ultimate Weapons. The type of Ultimate Weapon equipped determines the ability that Battle Fish can use.
- TANK Fish — Tank fish are granted the ability “Taunt” which temporarily increases their GUARD stat and forces all enemies to only attack them for a short amount of time. This also forces “Ultimate Attacks” to only damage TANK Fish when “Taunt” is active.
