As we fight Shak (and get info from other players), we're slowly figuring out info on them. Check this post often for updates.
Command spam rules:Command Spam works only on odd numbered turns.
EMP Pulse (the 15% shield drain) does not work at all, on any Shak unit.
===========================================================================
Shak unit stats:Deathowler
Shields: Roughly 600, with 15% regen
Armor: Roughly 600, with roughly 5% auto-repair
Our current guess is 650 shield and 550 armor.
Speed: 4
Range: 3 or 4, appears to be 3
Damage: Appears to be 3 33 damage range 3 guns (50 damage at point blank).
The guns are also acid. Each hit does 5 acid damage for a few turns straight to armor, and this stacks if you take multiple hits. However, acid cannot lower armor below 10. Be careful, Acid weapons also deal 150% damage to armor, so avoid taking hits on armor if at all possible.
Targetting: Appears to be completely random amongst all in range targets.
Protection: MDII (40% damage reduction vs. missile)
Command Immunity: Mass Confusion and False Orders
Harbinger
Shields/Armor: Either 800 total or 1000 total, 20% shield regen
Speed: 5+, likely 5.
Range: 10
Damage: Odd... 20 damage missiles (3 of them) with 45 EMP damage per shot. The EMP occurs AFTER combat, so it's not quite as insane as it initially looks. Harbingers, if alone, are actually *very* easy to kill... just watch out for the harb/spitter combo.
Targetting: Appears to aim for the largest shield.
Protection: EDII
Doomspitter
Shields/Armor: Either 1000 total or 800 total... whichever the Harbinger isn't, 25% shield regen, 4-5% armor regen.
Speed: 8
Range: 9
Damage: 50x3 ACOM, so 25 on non commanders. Listic with a strange variant of ACom. Not only can it reset your cools, but it can force you to fire them. This can be particularly bad if it's something like forced recall making you kill a minion with a necro.
Targetting: Appears to aim for wherever it can screw up the most actis.
Note: 15 damage PDS (appears to fire every turn when in the same sector as a slave AI)
Protection: Likely BDII since the other 2 have the other 2
Queen
Shields/Armor: Something ridiculous - Do not attempt without several people involved
Speed: 6
Range: At least 3, probably a lot higher
Damage: 6 guns, 2 of each type, kinda like a BOM on crack.
Energy: 50 damage per gun at range 3
Listic: 63 damage per gun, seriously
Missile: 28 damage per gun
Drops seem to be 1-3 of either the unit's type of weapon, or Tear, with likely low chance of a BE.
