Magnetites

Born from years of research, the Magnetite is a powerful, literal, shock troop used by the Greys in order to suppress enemy soldiers with ruthless efficiency. When a Magnetite enters the fray, enemies know impending doom.

Appearance
The Magnetite resembles an eradicator, albeit with a more dodecahedron-like body shape. In its center of each of its faces, it has an optical sensor. Its arms and tripodal legs are connected via a magnetic locking system which emits a faint blue light. Each of its arms ensd in a mechanical vice-claw filled with electrical nodes.

History
The Magnetite is a recent implementation in the Grey's war against all other life. Although their sleeker design makes them seem frailer than the much older Eradicator, they emit a powerful electromagnetic field which drains the kinetic energy from attacks, causing them to harmlessly plink off its metal exterior.

Magnetic Field

''The Magnetite creates a powerful magnetic field that gives all of its allies on the battlefield a 40% resistance to all non-physical damage types for 70 seconds. The ability has a recharge time of 50 seconds, which is interrupted if it uses its Ferrous Bombardment attack.''

Electromagnetic Pulse

''Inside its energy core the magnetite releases a powerful pulse, causing all electronic weapons to be temporarily disabled for 10 seconds. This ability has a recharge time of 60 seconds. ''

Strategy
The Magnetite is a unit engineered for combat, yet its been equipped with powerful support capabilities to assist the escort squads it is usually sent with. In order to avoid being overwhelmed, defeat the reinforcements first and then disable the Magnetite. Keep moving around the mech and you will be able to easily dodge most of its attacks.
