Kett Destined

DATA:
Classification: Enemy
Origin: Andromeda

ANALYSIS:
A kett field commander who deploys a smokescreen to hinder enemies and provide cover for its troops.

Description

Destined are described in intercepted communications as "ancestral" kett who act as battlefield commanders. They rally infantry into tightly cohesive units, providing shield support and directing operations from the center.

The most interesting characteristic of the Destined is their ability to produce an obscuring "smoke" cloud without mechanical assistance. Preliminary study suggests Destined have internal sacs that excrete carbonate-rich compounds, which include a melanin-like pigment. When expelled into the air at will, internal acids trigger a gas evolution reaction and the pigment expands to cover the battlefield, cloaking other kett allies. While studies suggest it is not harmful, breathing the cloud for extended periods is not recommended.

Capabilities

Offensive

Destined are armed with Hesh shoguns, high explosive (HE) grenades, and will melee attack when close. After exploding, their grenades leave a spherical energy residue that deals continuous area damage for a few seconds before dissipating.

Defensive

Destined have shields and can create smokescreens to obscure themselves and allies from enemies.

Tactics

• Units concealed by smokescreen including the Destined can still be hit by weapons or undirected skills that happen to connect.
• In a smokescreen patch, one of the ways to single out concealed enemies is by the telltale ripples in the air during movement.
• Destined are particularly dangerous at close range due to packing shotguns which are effective at that range, and they'll prefer to use it over their melee attack. Get out of their range and whittle them down with sniper fire or accurate assault rifles.
