Meet the Pilots: Roxy

Hello Pilots,

This is the start of a series about our pilots. Get to know a bit about them before you jump into the game! First up, we have Roxy!

[h3]Pilot Bio[/h3]

Name: Roxy

Place of Birth: 31st Northwestern Sahara Settlement

Bio: Roxy's parents worked as moon miners, often leaving Roxy at home for months at a time. Her earlier years were spent looking up at the stars, hoping to one day join them on their adventures. That day would sadly not come to pass, when she was 16 news of a tragic mining accident reached her settlement.

In the aftermath, her mom's damaged mecha was the only thing that was returned to her. Being the last physical remaining connection to her parents, Roxy tinkered with the mech night and day while her community supported her.

When the aliens invaded, Roxy's engineering skills made her one of the first to be called upon to strike back against the invaders. She'll do anything to protect her world and the people of the 31st.

[h3]A True Firestarter[/h3]

Guns, missiles, explosives - Roxy is no stranger to these weapons, and utilises her Gunner Mech to unleash devastating attacks on her foes but she also has a few unique artifacts that give her an advantage in the field (if used correctly).



  • Fire Starter - The first time you overheat, draw +2 cards and get +2 Heat sink next turn
  • Incinerator - When you overheat, purge the card after burning it. Then gain Sparks in your hand next turn.
  • Greenhouse - Whenever you gain or lose any amount of Heat sink, increase that amount by one.


From Roxy artifacts, you may be able to get a feel for what strategies would work best for her. By pushing the limits of her Gunner Mech, she can use overheating to her advantage and wreck havoc on the battlefield.

Having unique artifacts and cards for each pilot really helps build diversity during your runs. Roxy has some interesting cards like Trailblazer which allows her to move up to 4 titles, and when the card becomes Burnt, she receives +1 Heat sink for the remainder of the encounter.



And then there's Reckoning - We'll give you two guesses what this does.



That's all for Roxy just now, but you can discover more of her unique cards as you play and we'll be back with another Pilot feature soon!

Happy Hunting!
