NEW FEATURE: UPGRADES

You can now use Alloys to upgrade your equipment! Upgrade Robot parts, weapons, and ability modules to make your mark on the battlefield.

PILOT A NEW ROBOT

Add Siren to your Hangar and utilize its ice-cold tactics. Siren’s signature ability is a hover, allowing it to take off for airborne attacks. Launch a cryogenic missile to apply Freeze to a foe, and transform the battlefield into an arctic arena.
