The Astrek Electron can manipulate energy to directly attack and weaken enemies, while boosting and shielding allies.

Level 20 to 45

Electron has the hands-down best Damage Reduction in game - it's 100% uptime, 100% reduction, it doesn't block HKM Charge, it can be applied to friendlies and it can debuff enemies at the same time! Unfortunately for Electron, there are no good offensive options for the frame - so it suffers the same fate as Nighthawk in relying entirely on it's debuffs to make up for it's lack of natural damage.

Signature Kit

Slot Name Description
Primary weapon Shock Rail The signature weapon. A new Electron starts with the SR-23 Ranseur.
Ability Bulwark The Electron erupts in a pulse of energy, which applies a shield to the Electron and nearby allies. The shield absorbs a medium amount of damage.
Ability Overclock Overclock your jumpjets, improving air control and granting unlimited Jet Energy for the duration.
Ability Boomerang Shot Fires an electric shot which returns to the Electron, damaging enemies in its path. Enemies struck will also suffer extra damage for a short time and if struck twice become the center of a gravity well that attracts projectiles. Struck allies are armored against damage and if struck twice will repell projectiles for a short time.
Ultimate Electrical Storm Fire a slow-moving Electrical Storm that stuns and deals Energy damage to all enemies in its path.

That's the kit the battleframe is built around. Secondary weapon, auxiliary weapon and the rest of the gear are up to you.
