Companions: Robotics
Overview
Robotics covers the two groups of free roaming robotic companions, the Hounds and MOAs. Unlike Sentinels, the other robotics group, these companions patrol around the player like a beast companion would.
Hounds
Hounds are robotic canine companions obtained by defeating Sisters of Parvos. Each vanquished Sister gives you their personal Hound, made of random parts, and some part blueprints. You can use these to build your own custom Hound.
Parts
Each Hound is composed of four parts, each contributing different stats and unlocking specific mods and weapons:
| Part | Effect | Mod |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Hound's weapon & mastery | Audit mod |
| Core | Base defensive stats | None |
| Bracket | % modifier to defensive stats | Denial mod |
| Stabilizer | Free polarity | Prospectus mod |
Note: Mods and weapons are not restricted to specific parts and can be used on any Hound once earned.
Mods
Hounds have three unique mod groups. Only one mod from each group can be equipped at a time.
Audit Mods
- Null Audit - Bhaira Model - steals Eximi abilities and strips Overguard
- Repo Audit - Dorma Model - disarms enemies in a large AOE
- Equilibrium Audit - Hec Model - mid range AOE knockdown
Denial Mods
- Reflex Denial - Cela Bracket - creates bubble that reflects damage
- Diversified Denial - Urga Bracket - spawns mini Hound specters
- Evasive Denial - Zubb Bracket - teleports Hound and grants it 75% dodge chance for 8 seconds
Prospectus Mods
- Focused Prospectus - Frak Stabilizer - Heat laser beam
- Synergized Prospectus - Hinta Stabilizer - Ricocheting, homing, AOE, electric spark
- Aerial Prospectus - Wanz Stabilizer - Mini Vauban Photon Strike but weaker
Weapons
Hounds have three weapon options, each associated with a specific Model and with a different pair of IPS (impact + puncture + slash) damage types:
| Weapon | Model | Damage Types | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Akaten | Hec | Puncture + Slash | Best choice for DPS and has puncture priming |
| Batoten | Dorma | Impact + Puncture | Good for impact + puncture priming |
| Lacerten | Bhaira | Impact + Slash | But why though... |
MOAs
MOAs are Corpus built Robotics that typically fight the Tenno. However, due to their widespread use, MOAs have been developed for general use. In Fortuna, Legs sells and builds MOAs for Tenno use.
Parts
Each MOA is composed of four parts:
| Part | Effect |
|---|---|
| Model | Two unique precepts & grants mastery |
| Core | % modifier to defensive stats |
| Gyro | % modifier to defensive stats |
| Bracket | Free polarity |
Note: MOA precepts are not restricted to specific models and can be used on any MOA once earned.
Mods
There are 8 unique MOA precepts that you can earn by crafting MOAs with each of the 4 models. Only 2 MOA precepts can be equipped at a time.
Para Model - Whiplash Mines - deploys ether mines that knockdown and pull enemies to the center - Anti-Grav Grenade - launches AOE grenades that suspends enemies in the air
Lambeo Model - Stasis Field - creates bubble that slows enemy projectiles and reduces their damage - Shockwave Actuators - mid range AOE knockdown
Oloro Model - Tractor Beam - gives the player increased aim gliding and reduced gravity - Security Override - automatically hacks nearby consoles
Nychus Model - Blast Shield - fully regenerates shields, then leaps to a nearby enemy and knocks down enemies nearby - Hard Engage - lets your MOA melee attack enemies in close range.
Weapons
MOAs don't have specialized weapons and instead use Sentinel weapons. Please refer to the Companions: Sentinels page to learn more about weapon options.
