Where it appears
How Effigy attacks — and how to dodge
- Dual Swings — Strikes with both arms dealing Physical damage to whoever is on the frontline; keep a lower-priority unit tanking or retreat frontline operators during the windup.
- Ground Slam — Slams an arm into the ground for heavy Physical damage with knockback; it rotates slowly while casting, so operators can move behind it and attack safely during the animation.
- Leap Slam — Jumps into the air then slams down for heavy Physical damage and knockback on landing; watch for the jump windup and move away from the landing zone before impact.
- Combo Strikes — Chains multiple swings and thrusts ending in an upward swing; stay mobile through the whole sequence since it hits multiple times in succession.
- Laser Cannon — Morphs into a cannon shape and fires a continuous Ether-damage laser after a short charge; this attack can be interrupted with skills during the charge-up window.
- Capture Attempt — Attempts to grab and capture an operator; this ability can be interrupted with skills before it completes.
- Energy Spheres — Fires three Ether-damage projectiles and summons minions that inflict Blight; prioritize killing the summoned minions quickly to stop the Blight buildup.

Aggelos
The Aggelos (plural: Aggeloi) refers to any hostile and animated entity comprising natural matter and a halo structure, and is created by an Ankhor via catalytic construction. Throughout the history of humanity's expansion across Talos-II, the Aggeloi have always been our primary threat. The Aggeloi War was named after the enemy fought by humanity.
There are 4 currently verified modes of Aggeloid behavior: (1) construction; (2) deconstruction; (3) mimicry; and (4) attacking humans / human-built objects. However, since the Ankhor-induced Aggeloi formation process resembles that of industrial production, we are uncertain if the Aggeloi can be classified as a living or biological lifeform.
The construct pattern of an Aggeloid entity refers to its outward appearance, mode of movement, and means of attack. A single Ankhor tends to create Aggeloi with only a limited number of construct patterns, though they may include occasional non- or alter-pattern variants. Hence, an Ankhor's property is defined by the range of Aggeloid construct patterns it can create.
Since the First Aggeloi War, humanity has encountered new construct patterns of Aggeloi, giving rise to the Standard Aggeloid Classification (SAC) system. SAC is designed to help users search and identify weaknesses and best tactics for neutralizing a particular Aggelos.
Currently, most Aggeloid threats come in the form of raids stemming from unknown sources or random Ankhorfalls. Nevertheless, humanity's history records described how the entirety of the Northern Frontier was destroyed within 24 hours after the First Aggeloi War broke out.
The Aggelos is likely to remain as the greatest challenge faced by human civilization on Talos-II.
