Chapter 208: The Fortress

Once a front-line combat unit in a "crisis of intelligence" with devastating consequences, the curious "fortress" is now an explorer, captivated by the good of humanity but fearful of its evil.

Originally designed for peacekeeping purposes, the Bastion series of machine units has the unique ability to quickly switch between assault and siege modes.

But during the "Intelligence Crisis", the series was used against its human inventors and became the backbone of the robot rebels. With the subsequent resolution of the crisis, almost all of the "Bastion" series robots were destroyed or disassembled.

To this day, "fortress" is still synonymous with that terrible war.

But there was a unique "fortress" robot, which was badly damaged in the decisive battle of that war and was therefore forgotten for decades. The dormant "fortress" has slowly rusted over the decades, with vines wrapping it in layers and various animals making their homes in its shell.

But the "fortress" was as quiet as a rock, and it seemed that the passage of time did not notice at all.

Until one day, it was accidentally reactivated, and its combat procedures were almost entirely impaired, replaced by a fierce curiosity about the natural world and its inhabitants.

The curious "fortress" then began a journey of exploration and self-worth in this war-torn world.

Although the "fortress" looks like a gentleman, sometimes it can even be said that it is harmless to humans and animals. However, when it encounters danger, its core combat program is still activated, transforming it into a combatant capable of destroying any threat.

As a result, it has clashed with a handful of humans, and since then, the "fortress" has deliberately avoided the crowds and explored the wild, unrecorded magical world.

……

Fortress, is a heroic character in the Overwatch game.

This inquisitive fortress was originally a battle robot that haunted the front lines of the battlefield during the Crisis of Intelligence.

It is now exploring the world and is fascinated by nature, but still wary of the terrible humanity.

……

……

Sentinel mode.

Don't hesitate to find a very good defensive spot on the battlefield and turn on the sentry mode.

This skill will transform the fortress into a powerful firepower, and the 360° fire of the fortress can almost instantly annihilate most of the game's heroes.

However, it is not possible to move in this state.

In addition, a fortress sitting on a carrying target can often cause chaos on the battlefield in an instant, but it usually doesn't last long in this situation.

Since Sentinel Mode is very vulnerable to sneak attacks, you should try to put your back against a wall to reduce the chance and damage of being sneak up.

On the opposite side there is a hunting sky, Genji and the Grim Reaper should be extra careful.

Sentinel mode is very effective for defending narrow lanes and gives your team a lot of DPS.

Also, if you can climb to a high place, it would be better to use the terrain to your advantage to hit your opponents.

Strike your opponents while concealing yourself.

Don't be idle when you reload in 2 seconds, you can use this opportunity to observe the battlefield from all angles, predict the next target, or avoid being attacked yourself;

Try to keep yourself full of blood.

Self-healing skills make it easy to keep the fort at high health;

Jump Morph: You can transform into Sentinel mode while jumping.

This trick will allow you to get into battle more quickly, such as transforming while jumping down from a height, so that you can start shooting when you land.

Scout mode

The general form of the fortress. In this form, it can move and shoot, but its speed and firepower are not satisfactory. In general, you should avoid fighting in this form. But don't sit still in certain situations, Scout mode loses its powerful firepower, but gives you a solid output at medium range.

Self-healing.

This skill allows the fortress to constantly regenerate his health, making up for his lack of mobility and inability to hunt around for health packs.

Note, however, that with auto-healing, you can move but not fire.

Tank mode.

The fortress's ultimate will turn him into an invincible tank.

In this state, you should try to bomb the enemy's concentrated area, but in this mode, it is easy to get caught by the enemy, so it is best to be able to eat the shield of your teammates first.

When to use Tank Mode.

Open when a wave advances: As an attacker, store your energy and open the tank mode when your teammates rush in a wave to make it easier to capture the target.

It would be better if it could be combined with the ultimate of the tank and the nurse;

Opens when enemies are concentrated.

Since it is AOE damage in tank mode, it deals tons of damage to dense enemy groups.

Other heroes and abilities that work with tank mode.

Chariya's gravity gushes, and the good spray can directly extinguish the group; Reinhardt's ground-splitting slam;

The beautiful blizzard and ice wall can prevent the enemy from escaping, so that the fortress has enough room to shoot;

Lucio's Sound Barrier, Charia's Shield, Winston's Barrier, Olisa's Barrier, and Reinhardt's Shield can effectively protect the fortress's tank mode and extend the effective output time;

Use Soldier 76's biological stance to regain health;

Angels can increase your damage, or heal you;

Cooperate with the holy energy of Chanya Tower to advance in waves.

Guns that are too close will deal 35 damage to the fort itself.

Combat analysis.

Heroes with strong mobility and the ability to ignore the terrain to a certain extent, such as Genji and Hunter, can restrain the fortress and must be protected from sneak attacks.

Some enemies may jump above you from a height to attack.

Difficult to deal with extremely long-range enemies such as Hanzo, Black Lily, and Far Point Rooster.

The damage of the fortress's Scout and Sentinel modes decreases with distance.

Which small blue crystal is behind the headshot in Sentinel mode.

Don't be too greedy for damage in Sentinel mode, and always be prepared for sneak attacks.

Scout mode is designed to allow you to find good sentry locations.

Be careful not to empty the bullet before reloading.

Do not fire at Genji with E.

In tank mode, you can right-click at the interval between fires to make repairs.

Tank mode allows rocket jumping.

……

In the official short film "The Last Fortress", he has been sleeping in a forest in Germany since the end, and because he has not started for many years, his body is covered with moss, and he is later "woken up" by a bird named Nini.

After waking up, the fortress intends to continue its mission to destroy humanity and travel to a city not far from the forest (some say Eichenwald), but is persuaded by Nini to abandon this idea and return to the forest with Nini .......

In the official comic book Binary, the fortress travels to northern Sweden with Nini, and the local population's shadow of the Robot War leads them to think that the fortress is going to attack it and intend to destroy it, until Tobiang comes along and helps the fortress to solve the dispute.

At the end of the comics, Bastion and Nini decide to follow Tobiang, hoping to interact with the other members of Overwatch in the future......
