Special Ability: Detonation[edit | hide]

If Detonation is on when the stack dies, the Automatons explode, dealing 90 + 5N damage to all adjacent creatures (where N is the number of Automatons in the stack at the time of detonation). Detonation removes the corpse from the battlefield, making the Automatons impossible to repair. Detonation can be turned on without using a turn. Once it is turned on, it cannot be turned off.

Detonation works on Cloned Automatons.

Protection from fire doesn't reduce damage.

Trivia[edit | hide]

The first concept for the automaton was a flying creature. This design can still be seen on the top-left corner of the Factory's puzzle map.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

The Clone spell may be the best way to use the Detonation ability, as a clone stack is guaranteed to be entirely destroyed at the first hit, provoking the best explosion damage the stack can provide. It may even be useful to keep a stack of non-upgraded Automatons so that their clones can attack, provoking retaliation and subsequent detonation. Eovacius, with his Cloning specialty, provides an especially interesting synergy.
