Dominatrix

Overview

The Dominatrix, also referred to as a 'Domix' or 'Domi' by some, is a unit built from the Rover factory. It has standard Vehicle pathing and utilizes a unique weapon, that being the Capture Ray, which converts enemy units into allied units. Multiple Dominatrix may target the same unit, speeding up the capturing process, only one Dominatrix becomes the controller of the newly captured unit, however. Once a Dominatrix captures a unit it cannot fire for 12 seconds, making it weak to swarms. When a Dominatrix is killed, all units it controlled are returned to their original owners at 98% Capture damage.

Strategy

When using a Dominatrix be wary of its sluggish mobility compared to most other units in its price range, treat it like a Skirmisher and try to keep it at range with most enemies. Keep it away from the Stinger turret, as it deals enough burst damage to instantly kill a Dominatrix. Utilizing the Shield factory's Aspis unit tends to help increase survivability of Dominatricies, although using the Cloak factory's Iris will help with surprise attacks, this is not recommended as this does nothing to mitigate damage to the Domi's low health stat. Like all other units from the Rover factory, they have a deadly allergy to the Phoenix and Firewalker units. Using a unit that applies any type of Status to enemies in combination with Dominatrix will make capturing enemies easier. The Dominatrix pairs well with most of the Gunship factory. It is recommended to hide a Dominatrix that controls something of sufficient importance, such as a Commander, most Striders, or an important building. A good spot to hide a Dominatrix is in any heavily protected area, by turrets or somewhere the enemy team will generally have a hard time assaulting.

Other Information

• When a Dominatrix is captured, all units it controls are also captured, however it still retains control over them. If it is freed, the captured units return to the original Dominatrix's team.
• The only other unit that utilizes Capture damage currently is the Gull, a drone spawned by the Reef.
• A tether connects a Dominatrix to any units it controls, this is purely visual and can be seen even if the controlled unit is cloaked. This is so a Dominatrix controlling something important is able to be found by the opposing team.
• You will get Blastwinged and you will not like it.
