Statistical Overview

The Arc Grenade is a supportive grenade that siphons shield from enemies. It only does 25 damage after a 2 second delay but instantly regenerates 100 shield per enemy caught in its radius. It also has a very fast cooldown, similar to that of the Blast Grenade. It has a cyan core.

In-Game Behavior

Doing so little damage, the Arc Grenade should only be used for defensive purposes, although using it to regenerate shield while pushing through enemy lines could work as well. The high amount of shield it regenerates makes targeting lone units a viable strategy, and the radius it has makes it hard to avoid, if an enemy would even take the time to avoid it considering it does so little damage.

Pros/Cons

Pros

  • Fast cooldown
  • Regenerates 100 shield per target, 75 more shield than the Arc Coil

Cons

  • Low damage
