R3ED
Legendary Ranged hero whose kit rewards flanking the enemy, converting successful flanks into extra damage, rage and self-healing.
Jack Bronte is a Ranged hero built around a flanking mechanic: his rage skill and passives all scale up the more of his troops are positioned to flank the enemy target. Outside of rallies and garrison combat, he heals based on the number of flanking troops, and his passives further reward flanking with bonus rage generation and troop HP.
His third passive gives him a defensive fallback once his troop size drops below half, trading some Skill Damage output for reduced Skill Damage taken and extra movement speed, while his fourth passive rounds him out with a straightforward speed and Attack boost. His awakening upgrades his rage skill directly, increasing its damage further and adding a bonus healing effect after using any skill.
He also carries a troop-type matchup trait, Ace Pilot: it increases damage dealt to Infantry troops by 5%, but increases damage taken from Rider troops by 3%.
Deals direct damage to the current target. If not in a rally or garrison, regenerates HP based on the number of troops flanking the enemy troop. Counts up to 5 flanking troops.
Increases troop HP. Basic attacks grant rage when flanking the enemy.
While not in a rally or garrison, increases Skill Damage dealt if remaining troop size is 50% or more. If troop size drops below 50%, incoming Skill Damage is reduced instead and Ranged Troop Speed is increased.
Increases troop Movement Speed and Attack.
Perfect Sync
Perfect Sync upgrades Resonance Shots. Before activation (at max skill level), it deals direct damage to the current target and, outside of rallies and garrison combat, regenerates HP based on the number of troops flanking the enemy target (counts up to 5 flanking troops).
After activation, the damage dealt is increased further, and Jack additionally regenerates extra HP after using any skill, also scaling with the number of flanking troops (up to 5).
Jack's father was once one of the greatest Jaeger pilots in history, a hero who bravely sacrificed himself in a bitter battle against the Kaiju. His father's sacrifice left Jack deeply grieved. Jack considered becoming a Jaeger pilot himself to avenge his father, but his father's legacy also weighed heavily on him, and he feared he wouldn't live up to the Jaeger's full potential.
Fortunately, he met his future co-pilot Nate, and the two trained together with Nate's encouragement and support. As humanity faced its darkest hour, fate led him to become part of the new generation of Jaeger pilots.
Now the Kaiju and zombies once again threaten the land and the safety of the world. Jack, now a seasoned warrior with an outstanding record, has become a respected Jaeger pilot like his father. Piloting his Jaeger, he heads for the sanctuary, intent on bringing new hope to everyone. He will stand alongside the Commander and other heroes to face the approaching threat of the Kaiju and zombies. The final battle is at hand.
