Buddy is a Workonic character in Aftercharge. With the ability to make his friends invulnerable to Enforcer fire they're a great supportive character.

Bio

This safety Workonic was used by Aftercharge Corporation to provide protection to its workers in case of dangerous Quanta activity on Dusk 11. Buddy can now use this ability to temporarily protect his allies from all Enforcer weaponry.

Overcharge Ability

Buddy's overcharge ability, Invincibility, makes an ally invulnerable for a period of time based on the amount of charges used. When it's activated Buddy will also heal their teammate.

This can be used from any distance, the ally just has to stay in line of sight. After Buddy loses line of sight for about a second their ability will deactivate.

Be warned however, while the ability is active Buddy is visibly linked to the ally by a glowing beam. This makes Buddy easy to see and take down as they're not invincible themself. Taking buddy down is the only way the Enforcers can stop the Invincibility early.

Each charge used increases the Invulnerability duration by 0.4 seconds beyond the initial 1 second.

Each charge used also increases the amount of energy healed by 10 points.

Tips & Tricks

• Buddy's Invulnerability is very useful for pushing on well defended extractors but should be coordinated well with their teammates.
• Buddy is able to use their ability at any distance as long as they're within line of sight, hiding far behind their protected ally they'll be harder to hit.
• For a quick heal Buddy is able to use their ability and then immediately break their line of sight, minimizing the visible effect duration to limit the time their positions are revealed.
