Battlepods are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.

Traits

Battlepods are large, stationary constructs protected by a shield. As long as their shield is up, they are immune to all damage. They sometimes come with orbiting, breakable blockades in addition to their shield. Unlike other constructs, they lack resistances and weaknesses and are completely immune to all status effects.

Battlepods are usually encountered in predetermined areas in Missions, however they may randomly spawn in Deconstruction Zones.

Note: This monster has status variants, but they are currently not documented as their official names are not known.

Strategy

The Razwog's Battlepod before starting the battle

• The Big Iron works similar to Battlepods, as it has a timed shield that protects it from all damage. It has three stages that increase the number of beams and how often the wires pop up to hit you. It is good to always be ready to hit it, as its shield stays up for far longer than Battlepods' shields. It is also wise to bring weapons that are good on stationary targets, such as the Autogun family or a cheaper and weaker alternative, the Leviathan Blade. After its defeat you will win the mission and gain access to the prize room.

Trivia

• The Razwog's Battlepod is a rare and weak Battlepod with a green eye, his shield disappears when the party button is pressed and the only ability is shooting bullets.
• It is probably that The Big Iron has been shut down during years, this theory is supported because the distress call was sent hundred years ago. Anyway, it is totally unknown why and who sent that message.
