Unbound Protocol

Vulcan activates a temporary Forcefield and a built-in beam weapon that automatically engages the target in its sights.

Mechanics

When the robot deals a certain amount of damage, Unbound Protocol upgrades to the next stage for the rest of the battle:

- Stage 1: The ability has a cooldown. The light weapon slots are disabled.
- Stage 2: The ability has a cooldown, but the Forcefield and beam weapon are more effective. The light weapon slots are enabled.
- Stage 3: The ability is constantly active, and the Forcefield and beam weapon become even more effective.

A defensive system that mitigates incoming damage. It has three progressively less effective states and switches to the next state after taking a certain amount of damage. When the final stage is depleted, the system goes offline. On most robots, Forcefields recover to their initial, most effective state after a cooldown. The exact mitigation percentage depends on the source.

Forcefield cannot be bypassed by Shieldbreaker or partially ignored by Defense Mitigation effects. However, projectiles with Defense Breach completely ignore Forcefield.
