Portraits

Automatons and Sentinel Automatons are level 4 creatures of Factory. They are recruited from the Manufactory.

Heroes with a specialty

• Todd the Mercenary has Automatons as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Automatons or Sentinel Automatons for each level attained after 4th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
• Frederick the Artificer has Automatons as a specialty, which increases the damage dealt by the explosion of Automatons and Sentinel Automatons by 5% for every level (rounded up).

Special Ability: Detonation

If Detonation is on when the stack dies, the automatons explode, dealing damage to all adjacent creatures. 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 can not be turned off.
