Abilities

active ability

Seeker Missile Frequency Lock

A target enemy unit within 5 receives a Markerlight until the end of Sho'syl's next turn. At the beginning of Sho'syl's next turn, if he is still in play, the target is hit by a Seeker Missile dealing 1x 9788-11092 Heavy Round Damage. This ability's Damage ignores all of the attacker bonuses and modifiers (including elevation), and cannot Crit.

passive ability

MV71 Sniper Drone Squad

Instead of a ranged attack, Sho'syl summons a MV71 Sniper Drone and commands it to attack the target. This attack uses Sho'syl's Damage stat, while other effects, like buffs, are taken from the Drone. If Sho'syl already controls 3 MV71 Sniper Drones, the one with the lowest Health is removed before the new Drone is summoned. The target also gains a Markerlight until the end of Sho'syl's next turn. MV71 Sniper Drones' stats: 2610 Health 2740 Damage 652 Armour
