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 active, 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 typically found in Missions near the end of depths. While Battlepods are capable of using a large number of abilities, each individual Battlepod will only have a few of them at its disposal, making each encounter slightly different from the last.
Battlepods can have status variants with separate appearances, but they are not classified differently from each-other. Some status-based abilities can only be used by status variants of battlepods.

Strategy
- 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.
- Battlepods are supported by Gremlins and Constructs in battles, the general idea is to defeat the minor enemies first.
Trivia
