| 23 | [[folder:Sniper Prisoner]] |
| 24 | ->'''Other variations:''' Elite Sniper Prisoner |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Mansfield inmates who wield haphazard bows to attack from range and prioritize destroying Imprisonment Devices. When their collars are disabled, their attacks additionally start to deal Arts damage. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * ImprovisedWeapon: The bows they wield is cobbled together, befitting their nature as inmates that require a know-how to survive in riots. |
| 29 | * MageMarksman: Although their knowledge about Originium Arts is minimal, it is enough for them to channel it to deal Arts damage if Freed. |

| 50 | [[folder:Caster Prisoner]] |
| 51 | ->'''Other variations:''' Deadly Caster Prisoner |
| 52 | |
| 53 | A frail inmate that passively buffs the ASPD of all active enemies and gains increased DEF when imprisoned. While they uniquely cannot free themselves from their collars, if they are somehow freed, they'll start using long-ranged Arts attacks on two targets at once, prioritizing Imprisonment Devices. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * HarmlessEnemy: While Imprisoned, they possess zero threat whatsoever. In-fact, because they cannot attack, they ''cannot'' release themselves at all without a Recidivist (or Jesselton) nearby. |
| 56 | * LetsGetDangerous: Once they are released, they will be able to attack two Operators. They will also prioritize Imprisonment Devices in an attempt to prevent them from restraining them. |

| 65 | * GiantMook: They have a gigantic, towering, build and possess a high amount of HP, and a high ATK and DEF to match. |
| 66 | * MookLieutenant: Implied. If they are Freed for the first time (and only time), the rest of the prisoners will rally behind them and be unshackled. This is the only method to free a Caster Prisoner (who normally can't attack at all). |

| 92 | * GreyGoo: They are blob-like beings of a material used in Dorothy's research. |
| 93 | * PuppeteerParasite: Sort of. The 'Transmitter' reagent used to create them is a material researched for the potential of replacing a Power Armor pilot, which is shown in-game as them activating idle Power Armors when absorbed. The stronger variant the Dors is, the faster they can activate a Power Armor. |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Experimental Power Armor]] |
| 97 | ->'''Other variations''': Test Power Armor |
| 98 | |

| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * GiantMook: It is much taller and larger than the Experimental Power Armor. |
| 112 | * GroundPound: They will punch the ground that leaves Operators stunned. |
| 113 | * MightyGlacier: It is slow as molasses, but hits like a truck, possess even higher HP than the Experimental version, and is capable of stunning unfortunate Operators they can get their hands on. |

| 117 | ->'''Other variations''': R-11a Assault Power Armor |

| 132 | |
| 133 | [[folder:Trimounts City Defender]] |
| 134 | ->'''Other variations''': Trimounts City Defender Captain |
| 135 | Union Army rank-and-file soldiers stationed in Trimounts. |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * MovesetClone: For a Normal enemy, they are this to Agents as their attacks will reduce an Operator's block count by one. One major difference is that, when attacking an Operator on a Gravity Switch, the block count will be reduced to ''zero''. |
| 138 | [[/folder]] |
| 139 | |
| 140 | [[folder:Arc Commando]] |
| 141 | ->'''Other variations''': Arc Commando Captain |
| 142 | Union Army soldiers that operate a jet-pack and armed with a directed-energy handgun. |
| 143 | ---- |
| 144 | * AirborneMook: Unlike the one-use jetpack used by Reunion, the Arc Commandos' jetpack is fully functional. This allows them to easily pass over Operators, similarly to a Dublinn Flying Soldier, and prevent melee Operators from attacking them. |
| 145 | * EnergyWeapons: They come equipped with a handgun that fires direct-energy rounds, courtesy of the Project Horizon Arc. |
| 146 | [[/folder]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder:Arc Screenguard]] |
| 149 | ->'''Other Variations''': Arc Screenguard Captain |
| 150 | Muscular and imposing Union Army soldiers, donning an experimental unit that grants them formidable defenses. |
| 151 | ---- |
| 152 | * AchillesHeel: Fast attacking Operators, their DEF and RES are impressive, but their effectiveness will be reduced if attacked. Operators with a significantly Low ATK Interval can easily break them like a biscuit. |
| 153 | * FlawedPrototype: Their experimental armor; it grants them powerful defenses, yes -- however, their DEF will be reduced everytime they are attacked. |
| 154 | * StoneWall: For a Normal enemy, they boast an ''extremely high'' DEF. So unless they are attacked repeatedly, they can tank through blows and allow their allies to pass through. |
| 155 | [[/folder]] |
| 156 | |
| 157 | [[folder:Arc Frontier]] |
| 158 | ->'''Other variations''': Arc Frontier Leader |
| 159 | Elite Union Army soldiers equipped with a powerful laser sword and cutting-edge equipment. |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * AchillesHeel: Being shifted. They can easily slay Operators thanks to their equipment, but whenever they are push or pulled, they take a good chunk of their health. Combine this with their weight, and anyone with the strongest shift can easily kill them outright. |
| 162 | * FlawedPrototype: Shared with the Arc Screenguards, but the most blatant. Their equipment is top-tier and wield an equally deadly sword, however they will take a good amount of damage whenever they are pushed or pulled. |
| 163 | * LaserBlade: Armed with a cutting-edge laser sword, that deals Arts damage, made with pure technology and science. |
| 164 | [[/folder]] |
| 165 | |
| 166 | [[folder:"Offender" Production Model]] |
| 167 | ->'''Other variations''': "Offender" Prototype |
| 168 | A UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) developed Volvort Kochinski for the C.U.D.O.D. (Columbian Union Department of Defense). |

| 173 | |
| 174 | [[folder:"Crossroads" Production Model]] |
| 175 | ->'''Other variations''': "Crossroads" Prototype |
| 176 | Unmanned Defense units developed by Volvort Kochinski for the C.U.D.O.D. (Columbian Union Department of Defense). |
| 177 | ---- |
| 178 | * IncreasinglyLethalEnemy: Their lasers deal very low damage, to compensate, they can fire in all four cardinal directions. The closer they get the more damage Operators will take, and once they are closest it will deal full damage. |
| 179 | * NoSell: They cannot be shifted, and they simply pass through even Defender Operators (unless their block count is four through certain abilities). |
| 180 | [[/folder]] |
| 181 | |
| 182 | [[folder:"Traffic Tower" Production Model]] |
| 183 | ->'''Other variations''': "Traffic Tower" Prototype, "Traffic Officer", "Traffic Officer Captain" |
| 184 | Humanoid pilot-assisted combat robot developed by Volvort Kochinski for the C.U.D.O.D. (Columbian Union Department of Defense). |
| 185 | ---- |
| 186 | * AchillesHeel: Continuously being attacked, shared with the Arc Screenguards. Their DEF is insanely high but damaging them will reduce its durability, and Operators with a significant low ATK interval can easily break their defense. |
| 187 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: The "Traffic Tower" Pilots' eyes curiously glow once they are ejected from their armor, signifying their intent for an all-out-attack. |
| 188 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Despite the pilot being forcibly ejected (via through the wreckage) and clearly show signs of having [[ClothingDamage damage to their uniforms and helmets]], they don't seem to be particularly injured (as they start with full HP) and are capable of sprinting. |
| 189 | * ShedArmorGainSpeed: Once their robotic suit of armor gets destroyed, their pilot will jump from its wreckage and will sprint towards the Protection Objective. |
| 190 | * TheSneakyGuy: The "Traffic Tower" pilots are invisible, and ranged Operators will not target them unless they are blocked or detected. |
| 191 | * SuperiorSuccessor: To Rhine Lab's Assault Power Armor; compared to the blocky build of the RL counterpart, VK's "Traffic Towers" possess a sleek, streamlined look, boasting arm-mounted cannons from the get-go, and an incredibly insane amount of DEF. The one thing that prevents it from completely trumping the Power Armor is that their DEF lowers whenever they take damage. |

| 193 | |
| 194 | !!!Davistown Gangsters {Introduced in ''Come Catastrophes or Wakes of Vultures'') |
| 195 | [[folder:General]] |
| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * CatsAreMean: Bar their Snipers, Thieves, and (possibly) Axemen, the majority of them are Felines and are hired by a corrupt banker to cause a lot of trouble. |

| 209 | [[/folder]] |
| 210 | |
| 211 | [[folder:Paramilitary Defender]] |
| 212 | A burly Feline mercenary hired to cause a lot of trouble. |

| 215 | * HiredGuns: The description refers to them as mercenaries, rather than gangsters. |
| 216 | * ManlyFacialHair: They are fully bearded and moustached, complimenting their stout build. |
| 217 | [[/folder]] |
| 218 | |
| 219 | [[folder:Paramilitary Thief]] |
| 220 | A gangster more interested in looting than harming others. |
| 221 | ---- |
| 222 | * UndergroundMonkey: They act as an equivalent to Reunion Wraiths and their related brethren, with the difference being that they possess a Thermal Amplifier that boosts their stats if Overloaded. |
| 223 | * UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: The thermal device that they carry are not actually field-tested to see if they are safe to use. |
| 224 | [[/folder]] |
| 225 | |
| 226 | [[folder:Paramilitary Axeman]] |
| 227 | A hired outlaw armed with an energy axe. |
| 228 | ---- |
| 229 | * HotBlade: Their energy axes release a static, and (once they are Overloaded) are far more damaging than the blades wielded by Gangsters. |
| 230 | * MightyGlacier: Slow as molasses but are surprisingly durable, and their axes can hurt really bad (especially if they are Overloaded, where they can make short work on even the sturdiest of 6-star Defenders). |

| 245 | * BlindfoldedVision: Their masks cover their eyes. |

| 276 | [[folder:Dublinn Phalanx Infantry]] |
| 277 | ->'''Other variations:''' Dublinn Phalanx Commander |

| 279 | ---- |
| 280 | * AntiMagic: They wear Arts-refracting masks that greatly increase their RES, which is problematic since they can significantly buff their own DEF as well. The masks can be temporarily disabled by Silencing them. |
| 281 | * ZergRush: Fitting for soldiers who get stronger with the more of them in an area, their primary tactic is to advance in huge waves and pile up until they've stacked enough DEF to become NighInvulnerable to physical damage. |
| 282 | [[/folder]] |
| 283 | |
| 284 | [[folder:Dublinn Flying Soldier]] |
| 285 | ->'''Other variations:''' Dublinn Flying Squad Leader |

| 287 | ---- |
| 288 | * AchillesHeel: Hitting them with something like a stun, sleep or freeze will crash them, turning them from a flying ranged unit to a relatively bog-standard melee unit that can be dispatched with ease. Furthermore, doing this above a {{Bottomless Pit|s}} will make them instantly fall to their deaths. |
| 289 | [[/folder]] |

| 304 | * MightyGlacier: They boast large amounts of HP and DEF, have Refraction to significantly beef up their nonexistent RES, and hit very hard on top of further crippling Operator attack speed if a Shadowblade is nearby. Fortunately, they're rather slow. |

| 307 | [[folder:Dublinn Companion Shadowblade]] |
| 308 | ->'''Other variations:''' Dublinn Elite Companion Shadowblade |

| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * GlassCannon: Downplayed as they still have a hefty amount of HP, but their DEF is unusually low and their RES is literally nonexistent. They make up for it with the sheer amount of Arts damage they can output at close range, especially if the Companion Guard is nearby to buff their attack speed. |
| 312 | * TheSneakyGuy: Cannot be hit until blocked or revealed. |
| 313 | [[/folder]] |
| 314 | |
| 315 | [[folder:Dublinn Evocator]] |

| 323 | [[folder:Tombkeeper Grotesque]] |
| 324 | ->'''Other variations:''' Enraged Tombkeeper Grotesque |
| 325 | Originium constructs crafted by Mandragora using her Arts, slow-moving but very powerful and durable. When first killed, they'll enter a dormant, defensive state before reviving as flying units with ranged Arts. |
| 326 | ---- |
| 327 | * AchillesHeel: Collapsing a Ruined Column onto them is not only liable to kill them instantly through their sturdy defenses, but will also kill them permanently instead of letting them revive. |
| 328 | * AntiMagic: They have the ability to refract Arts, giving them significant RES when not Silenced. Notably, they're the only Dublinn enemy so far that can do this without special equipment. |
| 329 | * {{Golem}}: Creations of rock and Originium Arts made by Mandragora. |

| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | * AchillesHeel: The Silence status effect disables their physical damage evasion, making them much easier to take down. |
| 398 | * AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Their drunkenness makes them think you're an evil creature, hence their attack. It even extends to their mechanics; their paths are often winding, unfocused, and loop over themselves. |

| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * AchillesHeel: Negative status effects (stun, cold, freeze) immediately reset their ATK ramp up stacks. Immobilize effects will also prevent them from ramping up in the first place. |
| 427 | * DisproportionateRetribution: The Volleyball Spiking Cart's flavor text indicates that these carts were designed for the purpose of taking revenge on someone by spiking volleyballs at people to ruin their matches - given they can do this hard enough to ''kill'' operators (or at least knock them out), this likely counts. |

| 463 | * TheGoomba: In terms of enemy humanoid troops, they're among the easiest to defeat. Justified - they're barely trained (if at all) rabble with minimum equipment and support. |
| 464 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Due to a lack of a proper 2D model for Bounty Hunters (prior to ''Hortus de Escapismo''), Rioters are used to represent them in ''Grani and the Knights' Treasure''. |

| 545 | Melee soldiers who have high HP and use their axes to inflict heavy damage. While their defense is low, their special armor gives them significant Arts resistance, which will greatly increase if they're blocked. |
| 546 | ---- |
| 547 | * AchillesHeel: Inverted compared to most of the enemies similar to them. Despite their high health and colossal Arts resistance, their DEF is ''pitiful'', with both the regular and leader variants having only ''100 DEF'' (for reference, that's the same DEF as a basic Reunion Soldier). |
| 548 | * AntiMagic: Their Arts resistance is already significant for a heavy unit, but their armor will generate an Arts shield to protect them further when they're blocked. Considering that they have 40 RES already, which increases to ''80 (90 if it's a Leader)'', Arts damage often does little to nothing against them. Fortunately, their physical defense is extremely low. |
| 549 | * MightyGlacier: Slow, tough, and capable of dealing huge damage. Unlike most of the SmashMook variants the game has to offer, these guys are supremely resistant to Arts too, although their physical defense takes a huge hit as a result. |

| 578 | ---- |
| 579 | * ChainPain: They will use magic chains to stun operators for a lengthy period of time, dealing heavy damage and leaving them helpless. |
| 580 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: Each Sarkaz Caster can only use their ChainPain ability once per operation. If it's wasted on a decoy unit, then the Caster will be reduced to just shooting at your operators with their staff, hence the use of Executor Specialists to bait them into using this move. |
| 581 | * MissingSecret: The Sarkaz Caster Leader is listed in the enemy index for DM-MO-1, but they curiously don't spawn in that map (which would've unlocked their entry in the Enemy Archive). |

| 599 | * HeroicSuicide: In "Rewinding Breeze", a severely injured member from Mudrock's squad kills himself rather than letting his leader cure him, as Mudrock was feeling too tired from overusing his Arts. |
| 600 | * YouAllLookFamiliar: This enemy's artwork is reused by Pallas's unnamed Sarkaz bodyguard. |

| 606 | Sarkaz mercenaries who wield lances. When spawned, they will start gradually accelerating along their path, dealing severe initial impact damage depending on how fast they were moving when first blocked. |
| 607 | ---- |
| 608 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Due to ''Children of Ursus'' being pushed up ahead of ''Darknights' Memoir''[[note]]Their debut event in CN servers[[/note]] on Global servers, these guys ended up appearing much earlier than they're supposed to. |
| 609 | * GatheringSteam: Their common behavior involves running around the map to build up speed, which can translate into a very hard hitting first attack depending on how fast they were moving before colliding into an operator. |
| 610 | ** Their damage formula depends on how quickly they were moving just before the impact. Every half second after spawning, a Sarkaz Lancer will get a 50% base speed buff, which stacks additively up to 25 times for a total of ''1,250%'' movement speed, enough to cover about three and a half tiles (3.375) per second. This ''tile[=/=]s'' value is then multiplied by an impact damage of 600, with the Lancer's base ATK of 450 added in, resulting in a whopping ''2,475'' damage on first hit (Lancer Leaders simply deal more damage, at 800 impact and 3,200 total at max speed). |
| 611 | ** Worse still, if they are moving in the flowing direction of an Originium Jetstream, their speed gets bumped up by a further 80%, resulting in an approximated ''4,095'' impact damage on a ''normal'' Sarkaz Lancer and up to '''''5900''''' on a Leader, a OneHitKill on all but the absolute beefiest operator, or those with innate Evasion. Thankfully, a Lancer's speed is reset if he's stunned or bound by an operator's attack, making Trapmaster Specialists and those with stun skills valuable when engaging them. |
| 612 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Due to their acceleration mechanic, Sarkaz Lancers are extremely prone to throwing themselves off of cliffs into BottomlessPits if they run directly at one, netting the player easy kills. There is a reason why putting Myrtle right in front of the lower blue base in DM-3 of ''Darknights Memoir'' is considered to be an EasyLevelTrick, since with her block reduced to 0, the three Lancer Leaders will simply charge right off of the cliff and die. |

| 615 | [[folder:Sarkaz Sentinel]] |
| 616 | ->'''Other variations:''' Sarkaz Sentinel Leader |
| 617 | Special Sarkaz units that are completely harmless by themselves. However, if attacked, they will activate - permanently buffing the ATK and DEF of every enemy on the map while commanding all passive Sarkaz to turn hostile. |
| 618 | ---- |
| 619 | * LastChanceHitPoint: Sentinels who haven't been triggered yet technically cannot be killed in one hit from full health, no matter how powerful your burst attack is. Their coding forces them to remain at 1 HP to plant the flag, which takes less than a second. While technically, they can be killed before this happens, the planting frame is much shorter than the minimum attack interval of your operators, and they ignore additional damage from a single instance (e.g. Mayer's Meeboos exploding around them), so you'll need to have at least two units hitting them one after another within the span of one second to get a "stealthy" kill. As such, unless you have impeccable timing and[=/=]or use units that deal on-deploy damage, there will be no way to prevent them from raising alarms. |
| 620 | * NonActionGuy: They can't fight, but hitting them will cause them to buff enemies and will prompt those in a "standby" state to become actively aggressive. |
| 621 | * SupportPartyMember: They will increase the ATK and DEF of all enemy units on the map if provoked. |
| 622 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite being scouts, Sarkaz Sentinels couldn't care less if you've placed an entire squad in front of them, as long as they aren't hit. Even then, they are coded to enter alarm mode when reduced to 99.9% base HP, and they have a starting health of 4,000, so if they are somehow hit by an attack that deals 39 or less damage after DEF calculation, they will just shrug and do nothing. |

| 628 | ---- |
| 629 | * BodyHorror: Implied. Sarkaz Grudgebearers are actually severely infected by Oripathy, such that they can fire off magical attacks from their own flesh, but their condition also seems to cause them tremendous pain and physical damage, as they can be seen violently twitching in their Standby state and when aggravated. |
| 630 | * CastFromLifeSpan: The Arts that Grudgebearers cast are described as them expending their own life force to damage the enemy, perhaps in a frenzied attempt to [[TakingYouWithMe take their targets with them]]. They aren't actually CastFromHitPoints [[GameplayAndStorySegregation in the actual levels themselves, however]]. |
| 631 | * ThePowerOfHate: Sarkaz Worldcursers are said to have crystallized their resentment into raw power to amplify their Arts. |
| 632 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Sarkaz Grudgebearers are noted to be so extremely ravaged by Oripathy, that they can fire devastating Arts from their own flesh instead of having to use conventional Arts units, such as staves. |

| 667 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Enemies in chapter 10 and 13 are not immune to damage from Londinium artillery shots, which makes intentionally getting your operator hit by the artillery a viable way to kill these enemies - especially the StoneWall reborn creations and the invisible engineering drones. |
| 668 | * MookMaker: The various "heirbearer" enemies are carriers of the Sanguinarch's parasitic blood Arts, which animate their blood into a separate entity to continue fighting after they fall in battle.

| 682 | * BlobMonster: They look like white formless masa with red tentacles. |

| 1072 | * ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: Firearm version. They carry a blunderbuss, an ''ancient'' firearm even by modern Terra's standards (especially when compared to the [=AKs=] wielded by Sagittarius'). |
| 1073 | * BayonetYa: They carry an axe-shaped bayonet attached to the bottom of their blunderbuss. |
| 1074 | * KingMook: Oren Argiolas (aka Oren, Legatus) act as this for their normal counterparts, possessing increased stats and a shorter attack interval with his weapon. |
| 1075 | * ShotgunsAreJustBetter: They carry a blunderbuss, a predecessor to a shotgun, and are even more devastating to Operators with low RES, especially when compared to a modern shotgun. |

| 1081 | * BanditClan: With the exception of the Gnawbeast and Vesperwing being animals living in the depths of the monastery, the other enemies are part of a bandit gang operating in the wastelands that has set their sights on the Sanctilaminium Ambrosii. |
| 1082 | * LevelDrain: These enemies introduce the DP steal mechanic, which hampers the player's ability to deploy Operators, close holes with timber and use Holy Statues to calm residents. |
| 1083 | * UnseenNoMore: Downplayed. Though they technically debuted in ''Grani and the Knights' Treasure'', the Bounty Hunters seen use the Rioter 2D model. After a three and a half year, they finally made a proper appearance in ''Hortus de Escapismo'' (complete with their own set of 2D models). |

Instead they have a panic meter that fills up over time with enemies in their proximity causing it to fill up faster, and when it's full they run in a preset path towards a Holy Statue on the map.

| 1192 | ---- |
| 1193 | * LightningBruiser: As if their attacks don't hurt more than enough already, they will gain an increase in attack speed while their shield is active. |
| 1194 | * StoneWall: They are exorbitantly sturdy, with an A in HP, ATK, and DEF. Despite their RES being lower, that is alleviated by the fact that they have a shield which can protect them from Arts damage, and also happens to increase their HP and ASPD as well. |

| 1199 | A towering stone behemoth summoned by Mudrock's Arts. They're extremely slow but absolutely powerful - packing high defenses, ''monumental'' HP, and enough ATK to instantly kill most targets. |
| 1200 | ---- |
| 1201 | * AchillesHeel: For all their power, they're extremely vulnerable to the Gramophone turrets found on most of their maps, since they deal Arts damage based on a percentage of the target's max HP - meaning that even with their staggering HP values, they'll die about as fast as any other enemy. Controlling the Gramophones is key to beating levels that they're on - but the problem arises when some of the harder stages [[OhCrap don't give you any...]] |
| 1202 | * MightyGlacier: Colossi are ridiculously sturdy and they hit ''incredibly hard'', often enough to OneHitKill all but the toughest Defenders, and even then only leaving them with a bare sliver of health left. The only silver lining is that these things are also slow as molasses, leaving them especially vulnerable to being pelted to death by the capturable Gramophone towers, and Slow-type Supporters can hamstring them even further. |
| 1203 | * StoneWall: Ones that are literally made out of stone. These Colossi are obscenely tough, boasting a S+ health rating and B-grade DEF and RES. While they can technically be dealt with using a lot of Arts damage, even the toughest operators constantly wailing on them with their skills would only do ScratchDamage at best. The proper procedure when facing these things is to wield Gramophone towers against them, which are very effective against them owing to their PercentDamageAttack. |

| 1277 | * DeathOfAThousandCuts: Each of their individual punches deal very little damage. The real danger is the sheer rate at which they land these hits on your operators, and with enough of them mobbing your units at once, not even dedicated tanks can survive without some serious Medic support. |
| 1278 | * EvilCounterpart: Of Beehunter. In fact they share the same animation frames with her. |

| 1294 | * TheJuggernaut: They have an imposing build, move fast, hit like a truck, and require a Defender to even block their advance. And even then, they allow other {{Mooks}} to slip past an Operator's defenses while dealing with a Defender. For reference, Bullies are comparable to a ''moving vehicle'' by virtue of their shields that double as a PowerFist (combined with their naturally imposing build). |

| 1309 | * MightyGlacier: While their shields are up, they're borderline immune to physical damage and can soak up Arts while hitting very hard in response, but aren't very fast.

| 1318 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Even though the civilians are supposedly under their protection (which is why civilians cause the "Blood Debt" to go up by a big chunk when they die), several mooks can also attack civilians themselves and forcing the player to save them. |
| 1319 | * TheMafia: These guys put the ones from "Code of Brawl" to shame. |

He's a master of stealth and infiltration, being literally invisible to your Operators until blocked. He's an incredibly proficient killer, legendary in the underworld, with a name that everyone knows but only the bravest dare speak. In other words, he's the Terran [[Franchise/{{Hitman}} Agent 47]]. |
| 1345 | * GatheringSteam: If they are alive when a second "Asset Liquidation" starts, they will gain even more stats over the ones from the first Liquidation that spawned them. If not killed for too long and gain multiple buff stacks, Cleaners can easily slaughter their way through the player's defense lineup. |

| 1445 | * TheGoomba: The baseline Soldiers are the second weakest of the Reunion ranks, and just as easily handled. They also lack a red-colored variant compared to even a bog-standard Rioter. |
| 1446 | * HealingFactor: Possessed Soldiers and Leaders have the ability to regenerate HP over time, making them harder to kill. Their regen will be doubled if Mephisto is currently alive on the map. |
| 1447 | * JetPack: Airborne Soldiers have the ability [[ItsRainingMen to suddenly land anywhere on the field]], and can be a pain when they land directly on top of operators, such as in ''CE-4: Prisoner Transfer Escort'' where they can land on top of Medics and Casters before moving on to wreck havoc on your frontline in conjunction with the Heavy Defender Leaders in that same mission.

| 1471 | * AntiMagic: Casters have fairly high RES, making it difficult to take them out with your own casters. You're encouraged to attack them using physical fighters instead. |
| 1472 | * AreaOfEffect: Senior Casters utilize complex Arts that can hit multiple operators at once. |
| 1473 | * ChunkyUpdraft: Senior Casters are surrounded by floating originium stones, which they use as means of attack. |

These guys should be your first lesson in using Arts to take out armored units. |
| 1517 | * BossInMookClothing: Heavy Defender Lieutenants, identifiable by their darker armor and GlowingEyesOfDoom, are an extremely rare Heavy Defender variant (until Crimson Solitaire, [[UniqueEnemy only one ever appeared in the game]], on GT-HX-3) with monumentally higher stats than even the Leader variants. Their HP, ATK, and DEF values are massive and surpass even that of most ''boss enemies''[[note]]In the normal variant of GT-HX-3, the Lieutenant has 40,000 HP, 1,000 ATK, and 1,200 DEF - for comparison, Mudrock has 45,000/800/1,000[[/note]], although they share their lesser brethren's AchillesHeel to Arts damage and lack the special abilities most bosses have. |
| 1518 | * EliteMook: They're listed as such and, as one of the first encountered Elite enemies, preparedness is a must when dealing with them. |
| 1519 | * GiantMook: Significantly larger than a typical Reunion soldier, possessing greater health, defenses, and attack power, but as slow as a snail. |

| 1593 | ---- |
| 1594 | * {{BFS}}: Their katana are big enough to qualify as an ōdachi. |
| 1595 | * BookEnds: The original Contingency Contract Beta in the Area 59 Ruins had Hateful Avengers as arguably the most dangerous threats, giving them their now-legendary reputation. Come the twelfth and final season of Contingency Contract, Operation Basepoint, the permanent map not only serves as a homage to CC Beta's, but features both regular Hateful Avengers and a special boss variant [[RememberTheNewGuy who is explicitly one of the survivors of the first battle in the Area 59 Ruins]] after training and returning for revenge. |
| 1596 | * BreakoutCharacter: Started out as an EliteMook, their Hateful variants got an infamy as they boast a ''huge'' ATK power upon reaching 50% of their HP, capable of seriously wounding (or even outright insta-killing) even the toughest of Operators. Once the Hateful Avengers' popularity grew, thanks to Red's introduction, it introduced a boss version simply called "Hateful Avenger" (with quotes) which is not only a very powerful version of the Hateful variant, but also posses a ''lot'' of benefits as described below. This Avenger also has his own 2D model, completely distinct and separate from their Hateful versions encountered on missions. |
| 1597 | * FlamingSword: Avengers' enraged state is indicated by their katanas bursting into flame, indicating that things are about to get a lot hairier. A device on the scabbard serves as the ignition mechanism, as seen on the Contingency Contract trailer. |
| 1598 | * FinalBoss: A ''very'' beefed up boss version of the Hateful Avenger (down to being simply called "Hateful Avenger" with quotes) caps off the original Contingency Contract mode with its closure in Season 12; on top of their trademark TurnsRed functionality that made them infamous being buffed up to boss levels, he also becomes an absurd LightningBruiser who can rush down defenders with his newfound DashAttack. As the stage boss, he has his own array of buffs he can get on top of his stat inflation, such as invincibility periods, his rage mode making him even stronger while giving him massive DamageReduction, and even [[ContractualBossImmunity the ability to shrug off statuses]], on top of having CC's only optional ''colored'' risk in Vengeance: Flame and Steel which gives him his full arsenal and ridiculously inflated stats. With only a few buffs, he can tank nearly everything thrown at him during his rush towards the objective, and if he's brought down, he has an AutoRevive in stock that fills him back up to half, leaving his buffs active and almost ensuring an instant wipe should he reach the objective without proper planning. Essentially, [[AscendedMeme he brings to mind the number one reason why players feared his normal part in the first place]]. |
| 1599 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: Avengers are equipped with these, and they make deadly use of them. |
| 1600 | * TurnsRed: |
| 1601 | ** Avengers are deceptively strong. While their starting damage is laughable, they receive a ''massive'' ATK buff at less than 50% HP (+100% for a normal one, ''+180%'' for the Hateful version). Being careless around them will result in your Defenders melting terrifyingly quickly if the fight drags on. They're the number one reason for wipes for beginners on the second Annihilation map and high-risk runs of ''Contingency Contract'' Beta and Blade, especially the red Hateful ones. |
| 1602 | ** Certain Contingency Contract modifiers can have them turn red ''earlier'' at a higher HP threshold, up to starting in this state '''as soon as they spawn'''. |

| 1644 | * GasMaskMooks: They wear a rebreather that is connected to the tank mounted in their back. |
| 1645 | * MightyGlacier: Their HP and ATK (A and A+ respectively) are higher than the Defenders. And while they are a little squishier than Defenders (their DEF is B), Armed Militants have a RES of B, which is ''significantly'' higher than Defenders' D-ranked RES. |

| 1656 | * LightningBruiser: These guys are fast, tough, and hit surprisingly hard for their size, made worse by their tendency to come in groups. |
| 1657 | * ZergRush: Their fighting tactics seem to be bumrushing your line of defense and tearing it down with brute force.

| 1665 | ---- |
| 1666 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: They are only equipped with a single bomb and nothing else. |
| 1667 | * FragileSpeedster: They become this once their attack has been used up, making it slightly easier for them to make a break for the blue base. The Oneiros variant does not have this trait. |

| 1678 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: The purple lasers they fire deal Arts damage, targeting an operator's RES instead of DEF, making them more lethal and dangerous than their regular Monster counterparts. |
| 1679 | * MightyGlacier: Due to trading some of their flight modules for a bigger weapon module, Arts Master A2 drones are significantly slower than their A1 counterparts but have ''much'' higher stats, particularly range, HP, and ATK. Due to them taking a while to kill while doing enough Arts damage to handily kill many ranged operators in a few hits at most, A2 Drones are one of the most common reasons for losses in Annihilation 3. |

| 1700 | * HeavilyArmoredMook: They all wear a blast suit from head-to-toe, that grants them even more protection than the already armored Heavy Defenders. |
| 1701 | * MightyGlacier: With 10,000 HP, 1,000 ATK, and 1,000 DEF, Defense Crushers hit like trucks and take a while to kill. Fortunately, they're slow as hell, and their heavy armor doesn't offer them any Arts resistance. |

| 1712 | * LightningBruiser: Fast, extremely bulky, and will handily dismantle most defenders in 2-3 hits. Most strategies usually involve bursting them down with ranged damage and hamstringing them with crowd control while letting them kill themselves with their self-damage. |

They have very high stats and constant ranged attacks, but will lose HP over time. |
| 1721 | ---- |
| 1722 | * LivingOnBorrowedTime: They will lose HP over time. Due to their behavior, sometimes allowing them to drop dead naturally is an optimal way of eliminating them, apart from certain challenge mode conditions. |
| 1723 | * ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: They hurl Originium crystals at operators when within range; notably, unlike other ranged enemy units they remain stationary while attacking, keeping them out of reach of melee attacks. |

| 1731 | ---- |
| 1732 | * AchillesHeel: Just like their Defense Crusher cousins, they have no Arts resistance whatsoever. |
| 1733 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Due to ''Children of Ursus'' being pushed up ahead of ''Darknights' Memoir''[[note]]Their debut event in CN servers[[/note]] on Global servers, these guys ended up appearing much earlier than they're supposed to. |
| 1734 | * MightyGlacier: Demolitionists have slightly less DEF than the Crushers, but compensate with higher HP and ''much'' stronger ATK, which is further boosted by their splash damage capabilities. However, like the Crushers they're also very slow to move and attack, although they're fittingly capable of ''far'' higher damage output. |
| 1735 | * SplashDamageAbuse: Their attacks deal damage to their primary target and any targets on the four cardinal tiles beside them. Considering that even the regular Demolitionists have a whopping 1700 ATK (almost double that of a normal Defense Crusher), a hit from a Demolitionist is going to ''hurt'' for everyone in the area, although the splash damage to the secondary targets is only 50% of their ATK. Most importantly, however, their splash damage can hit operators up on the high ground, so plan carefully where you're placing your Medics and other ranged units. |

| 1934 | |
| 1935 | A heavily mutated Originium behemoth used as a living weapon. Although they are very slow, their exoskeletons give them ungodly resilience and devastating melee Arts attacks. |
| 1936 | ---- |
| 1937 | * ArmoredButFrail: These beasts have some of the highest mixed defenses in the entire game (comparable to ''Patriot'' of all things), which makes them take very little damage from just about everything. Once you look past that, however, their actual HP is surprisingly low, with even the strongest variant of them having less health than an ordinary Heavy Defender. |
| 1938 | * MightyGlacier: They're extremely resilient to all types of conventional damage, and deal massive amounts of Arts damage with each strike. To compensate, they attack very slowly and move even slower. |

| 1946 | ---- |
| 1947 | * AchillesHeel: Operators not caught in a sandstorm, if forced into a melee combat, they will only use a melee attack which only deal a small amount of damage. |
| 1948 | * ColdSniper: They are capable of ''sniping'' Operators caught in the sandstorm anywhere on the map. This, coupled with their high ATK stat, makes them extremely dangerous to an affected Operator. |
| 1949 | * EliteMook: Unusually for the infantry presented for ''Operation: Originium Dust'', these enemies are always categorized as an Elite Enemy, making them the only enemy group to lack a Common Enemy representing the "Redmarks". |

They do not count towards the enemy counter and only spawn from certain other enemies, but swarm en masse and still cause life loss if they escape; the stronger Tumor variant has an additional ability to massively lower the attack speed of any Operator blocking them. |

| 1977 | * StickyFingers: Some of the familiars carry man-made items that they picked up off the street or looted from human shops, and Eyjafjalla spent a while in "So Long, Adele" chasing down one that stole random items from other people. Dolly even lampshades it early into the event. |

| 2068 | * LongRangeFighter: They can target the Ursus Civilians and Talulah the Fighter using throwing knives. |
| 2069 | * NonIndicativeName: Despite the "captain" in their name, they are the most commonly encountered enemies in Chapter 8, making them more akin to specialized regular soldiers than those holding high ranking positions within the army. |
| 2070 | * SociopathicSoldier: Described as greedy and cold-blooded, the patrols don't give a crap about human life, as they constantly persecute and murder innocent infected villagers.

| 2205 | |

| 2207 | * AnimateInanimateObject: Waregeists are essentially collections of mundane objects (such as paperweights, picture frames, vases etc.) whose spirits have been awakened and driven to aggression [[spoiler:by the spirit fragment of the Second Brother contained within the black goblet]]. |
| 2208 | * AsteroidsMonster: When defeated, each Waregeist spawns a number of Enchanted Objects that don't attack, can't be blocked, and require a certain number of hits to defeat, regardless of how powerful those individual hits are. This encourages strategies based around operators with high attack speed, attacks that hit multiple times at once, and damage-over-time effects[[note]]since each time the effect triggers is considered a separate "hit"[[/note]]. |
| 2209 | * ItsProbablyNothing: In the early story segments of "Invitation to Wine," a number of characters spot Waregeists sneaking around before they begin to appear in significant numbers, but each time they dismiss it as a trick of the light, a fatigue-induced hallucination, or some manner of mundane animal. It's only when the things start to swarm that people really notice what they actually are. |
| 2210 | * ZergRush: In-story, individual Waregeists aren't particularly powerful, but they appear in great numbers and don't stop coming. In-game, their nature as {{Asteroids Monster}}s means that if you're not careful, your defensive lines will get overrun by massive numbers of unblockable enemies that you can't kill fast enough to win. |

| 2353 | %%* Quote from a CCP Defector, via from ''The Epoch Times''. |
| 2354 | %%-->''"What the communist party are afraid of? They're afraid of people knowing about the true information, so they started to brainwash you since elementary school, they don't let you know about the real truth, and lock the information, thus it created a generation of fools. That's the party's mistake.''"[[note]]共产党最怕什么？它最怕人民知道真实资讯。所以从小学开始洗脑。不让你知道真情。封锁资讯。造就了一代愚民。这是它的罪过。[[/note]] |
| 2355 | %%* A minor example, but still qualifies -- on January 6th, 2021, egged on by UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and other Republican politicians, a mob of several thousand people attacked the U.S. Capitol building in a bid to stop the Electoral Vote count and attack Democratic politicians, due to Trump's disproven allegations of electoral fraud. They were eventually repelled when the National Guard arrived hours later, and the National Guard remained in the Capitol for several weeks. Still, a few people were killed as a result, including one supporter who was trampled by her colleagues, another who tried to break into the Speaker's Lobby, getting shot for her trouble, and a policeman who died from injuries sustained during the assault, ultimately the casualties amounted to 5, though the mob came very close to various prominent politicians, including the Vice-President. 4 other police officers were so unnerved by the experience that they subsequently committed suicide. In addition, the Capitol sustained severe damage to numerous areas of its interior as a result of the invaders damaging and defacing it, with a total repair cost of around $30 million to bear. |
| 2356 | %%* With the communist takeover of mainland China. The country, since Mao Zedong's rule, has not only collectivized agriculture, but they insistently believed that everything ranging from land, companies, and subjugated countries (like Xinjiang, Tibet, Macau, and [as of 2020] Hong Kong) belong to them (even the general citizenry, namely the Han Chinese, and pandas aren't safe as they consider them to be their property too). As a testament to their hegemony, they even claim Taiwan to be part of mainland China despite ''never'' being ruled by them. |
| 2357 | %%* There are rumors that the COVID-19 virus may have been genetically made in a Wuhan Institute of Virology Lab based from a [=SARS-CoV-2=] virus collected from bats. With the intention of making it more contagious (possibly as a bio-weapon)[[note]]The Institute is working for the Chinese Government[[/note]]. It didn't help that the moment it accidentally escaped, the CCP ordered the scientist to [[DestroyTheEvidence destroy the samples]] to cover-up the incident (then deliberately not announcing its harmful effects until January 25, 2020). As you have guessed, [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic the pandemic started]]. |
| 2358 | %%* The Philippine National Police, which is notorious for tolerating unbridled corruption, particularly in the form of petty traffic bribery. They are also known to torture and beat up small-time offenders in their custody -- an Amnesty International affiliate revealed they used a ''[[http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/28/philippines-police-wheel-of-torture-game wheel of torture]]'' on their victims. Indeed, before the investigation by Amnesty International have started, it is very common for the PNP to rough up recently arrested suspects, which is caught on video. |
| 2359 | %%* The Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau, also known as Chengguan, gained infamy for their corruption and abuse of power, and earned the moniker "violent thugs in uniform" for a reason. They often dish out brutal beatdown (to the point of manslaughter) towards locals in broad daylight (to the point that even the country's [also corrupt] police force aren't safe), smash vendor stalls, illegally confiscate stuff for their own use, and even kill unregistered pets. Some reports even claim that they have connections with organized crime. |
| 2360 | %%* By 2020 thanks to propaganda, mainland China has become this, instilling nationalism amongst its population, and hyping and prepping them for their dream of invading Taiwan and conquering the nation by force. This reached its apex in 2022 where during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Chinese nationalist cheered at the former invading the latter with some of them going as far as daydreaming it as China launching an invasion of Taiwan. Anyone condemning the invasion of Ukraine (or even advocating peace between the two nations) will be harshly [[{{Understatement}} targeted and scrutinized]] by said Chinese nationalists. |
| 2361 | %%* The Chinese Communist Party |
| 2362 | %%** They are notorious for utilizing this. They have rules and laws for anyone to follow but will ignore said rules to do as they please (not helped that they are written in a vague way that allows LoopholeAbuse). This leaves ordinary citizens (especially minorities) at the mercy of authorities who are unable to file complaints and petitions against them (petitions are generally frowned upon by the Chinese government). Lawyers, human rights groups, and doctors that help minority groups, and victims of oppression and unfair treatment, [[PunishedForSympathy are especially targeted]] which goes against the rules and regulations they set up in the first place. |
| 2363 | %%** This is became more prominent during the 2022 Beijing Olympics where they deliberately allowed Chinese athletes to play dirty against foreign competitors to gain an unfair advantage while punishing the latter when they decide to complain... Or for their [[BlatantLies supposed violation of uniform code.]] |
| 2364 | %%* Taiwan is the Athens to China's Sparta. Taiwan is a growing democracy, with a relaxed atmosphere, the country of origin for Bubble and Milk Tea, and though they practice conscription, they don't take it as seriously as South Korea. Meanwhile, China, while it has an entertainment industry and [=BiliBili=] is responsible for co-hosting anime conventions, is a totalitarian society with a tense and unfriendly environment, people are constantly monitored 24/7, employ indoctrination that forces people into worshipping the Chinese Communist Party, and often give people, as early as [[https://www.themainewire.com/2023/07/exclusive-the-chinese-military-is-training-kindergarteners-for-war-in-bootcamps-across-the-country/ kindergarteners]], [[https://www.insider.com/chinese-kids-bayonet-japanese-soldiers-theme-park-military-gun-mortar-2023-5 military training]] to prepare for a war. |
| 2365 | %%* UsefulNotes/{{North Korea}} and UsefulNotes/{{South Korea}}. South Korea is a wealthy, technologically advanced and respected democracy with fast internet connection, and ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' tournaments. However, North Korea is poor, has scarce food, a HUGE military and is a communist dictatorship. Spying and espionage are common among the two Koreas and both want to reunify the country, but under their own ideals.\ |
| 2366 | This is largely a recent development. During the UsefulNotes/KoreanWar and its aftermath, both nations were brutal dictatorships that committed war crimes during the conflict and committed many human rights abuses after the war. North Korea likewise was bombed into the Stone Age during the war, with Pyongnang almost entirely destroyed and losing all its infrastructure, subsisting on aid given by USSR and China (who both had their own problems) while South Korea received much aid from America for redevelopment. |
| 2367 | %% * With Xi Jingping taking the seat in mainland China, he implemented the Xi Jingping thought as a bible, and deitified himself as the [[https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2017/november/china-christians-jesus-communist-president-xi-jinping-yugan.html lord and savior]] of China, with the CCP as the primary religion. |
| 2368 | %%* "[=SWATting=]" is a term where perpetrators would deceive an Emergency Services into sending [[SWATTeam SWAT Teams]] onto someone else's home (hence the name) as a prank just to [[ForTheEvulz get a kick out of it]], often at the expense of both the victims and the SWAT Officers involved (as it amounts to wasting resources and assets). Since the SWAT are trained to engage armed suspects, this squares firmly to this trope (especially for livestreamers). |
| 2369 | %%* Despite overwhelming evidence that states the contrary, the Chinese Communist Party will let you know that the Tiananmen Square Massacre never happened, the lasers used to harass and temporarily blind passing ships and jets are "civilian laser designators" used for distance calculation, and the Chinese spy balloons are "civilian weather monitoring satellites", etc. |
