Nimrod is a Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, he has a class advantage against Mutant Champions, but a disadvantage against Cosmic Champions.
Bio[]
Nimrod is the ultimate Sentinel. Constructed in a timeline where Mutants have been completely wiped out by the superior, infinitely advancing robotic beings. Upon realization that it’s one directive to exterminate all Mutants was no longer possible within Nimrod's original timeline, this flawless, unstoppable force of destruction begins to jump to alternate timelines, ridding the multi-verse of abhorrent the Mutant scourge.
Mechanics[]
Nimrod is a tanky Mutant Hunting Champion capable of doling out insane bursts of Energy Damage. Nimrod has an offensive and defensive mode that will alternate on a timer, or can be switched manually. Using both modes correctly grants Protocol charges, which allow him to activate both simultaneously.

Abilities[]
When Defending a Quest Node
- If Opponent fills a bar of Power, Inflict Passive Special Lock for 1.5 second(s).
Superior Mutant Hunting Robot

Adaptive Protocols

- Gain 1 Protocol charge per unique ability applied by each Protocol during a Special Attack.
- Gain 1 Protocol charge when gaining Armor Up, and when the Opponent activates Prowess or Regeneration.
- At 10 Protocol charges, launch a Special Attack to activate ERADICATE Protocol for 16 seconds, combining the effects of TITAN and BLITZ Protocols.
Dev Notes: The key to playing Nimrod is how quickly you can get 10 protocol charges.
TITAN Protocol
- 20% Damage Reduction on all incoming Critical Hits. +25% potency per Armor Up.
- When the Opponent launches a Special Attack, Inflict a Cowardice Debuff reducing Special Attack damage by 40% for 15 seconds.
- Well-Timed Blocks create 1 Armor Up.
Dev Notes: I’d recommend staying in this mode as long as possible and using Nimrod’s Well-Timed Blocks to quickly create Armor Ups, in turn granting Protocol Charges.
BLITZ Protocol
- Attacks have +X Attack Rating. +25% Potency per Armor Up.

- When the Opponent launches a Special Attack, Inflict Power Drain, draining 150% of a bar of Power over 15 seconds.
- Attacks remove 1 Prowess and Regeneration, replacing it with a Shock Debuff dealing X Energy Damage over 1.5 seconds.

Dev Notes: This mode is great to be in during Special Attacks for the extra damage. But ideally you spend most of your time in Titan Protocol, then take advantage of this mode while Eradicate is active.
Signature Ability[]
Zero Tolerance - Passive
- Eradicate Protocol grants Unblockable Special Attacks and increases the Potency and Duration of Special Attack effects by X%.

- If attacking against a Mutant, Nimrod's Abilities generate +1 Armor Up whenever gaining a personal Armor Up. If Defending, instead gain +1 Armor Up per Mutant on the Attacker's team.
Dev Notes: The second bullet point is important to note if you’re fighting Nimrod. If you like to run a team with a lot of Mutants, Nimrod will generate bonus Armor Ups no matter who you bring to fight him.
Special Attacks[]
Special 1 - Energized Assault
Nimrod unleashes a flurry of blows before blasting his Opponent with an energy blast.
- [TITAN]: Gain an Energize Buff, Increasing Combat Power Rate by 45% for 25 seconds. Max 1.

| Tier | Energy Resistance |

915.38 |
|
996.15 |
|

|
1130.77 |
|
1211.54 |
Dev Notes: Try to time this Special Attack with Nimrods Protocol swapping timer, so that both Protocols are active at some point throughout. This will grant both Abilities, each of which also provide 1 Protocol Charge.
Special 2 - Total Annihilation
Nimrod stuns his Opponent with a powerful front kick then releases several powerful waves of destructive energy.
- [TITAN]: Gain an Unstoppable Buff for 5 seconds. Duration is paused until the Special Attack ends.
- [BLITZ]: Each Hit inflicts a Passive Shock, dealing X Energy Damage over 2 seconds.
| Tier | Shock Damage |

|

Special 3 - Sentinel Superiority
Nimrod summons nearby expendable Sentinels to ensnare his Opponent, then obliterates everything in his path with a supercharged chest beam.
- [TITAN]: Gain Self-Repair. Regenerating 12.5% of missing Health over 15 seconds. This effect ends early if Stunned.
- [BLITZ]: Deal a burst of up to X Energy Damage based on Opponents missing health.

Dev Notes: Titan Protocol regen will come in handy if you’re running Double Edge and Liquid Courage. Blitz Protocol will begin to out damage the Shocks in Special 2 once the Opponent is low on Health.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- High Defensive Stats
- Titan Protocol provides lots of powerful Armor Ups, critical hit damage resistance, and inflicts potent Cowardice effects on Opponents that launch Special Attacks. In addition, Armor Breaks have 100% less potency so they cannot affect him.
- Energy Damage
- All of Nimrod's attacks deal Energy Damage, and his Special 1 inflicts a powerful, long duration Energy Vulnerability on the Opponent, increasing all outgoing damage. This can bypass champions with high physical but low energy resistance.
- Mutant Hunter
- Blitz Protocol will allow Nimrod to shred Opponents that use common Mutant Abilities such as Prowess or Regeneration. Even when defending a Quest Node, Nimrod becomes a serious threat to any team with Mutants present.
Weaknesses[]
- True Damage
- While Nimrod has High Armor Rating, his base health value is lower than average. Champions or effects like True Strike that ignore Armor Rating, or increase their attack based on the Opponents Armor Rating will make quick work of Nimrod.
- Block Penetration/Unblockable
- Nimrod requires landing a lot of Well-Timed Blocks to quickly generate his Armor Ups and enter his Eradicate Protocol. Champions that have Block Penetration or have Unblockable will make him pay for this.
- Energy Resistance
- Energy Resistance will put a hard stop to any of Nimrod's outgoing damage.
- Buff Control/Punishment
- Nimrod has access to a lot of Buffs. Controlling those buffs or punishing them will make him less of a threat.
Recommended Masteries[]
- Liquid Courage / Double Edge / Recoil
- As a Robot. Nimrod is Immune to the effects of Bleed and Poison. Allowing him to gain the bonus attack rating from these masteries for free.
- Once Recoil damage begins to stack up, launch a Special 3 in Titan Mode to regenerate some health.
- Assassin
- Nimrod’s Blitz Mode Special 3 deals a lot of damage when the Opponent is low on health. The Assassin mastery synergizes perfectly with it. Pushing that damage even further.
- Block Proficiency
- Nimrod relies on his Well-Timed block a lot to generate Armor Ups. Anything that softens the blow of chip damage will go a long way.
