01 / Who

Character & silhouette

Echo is quick and wary. The four petals on its head “breathe” while it waits, and the head keeps scanning. The ability opens the petals wide and sends out a ping ring with a sonar sound.

A turquoise teardrop on thin legs, with four antenna petals on top. In the concept the petals are translucent, like insect wings or a propeller, above a big black glass face with cyan eyes and round turquoise feet.

02 / Ability

Scan

In plain words

A short scan around Echo: breaks in rails, sparks lying loose and enemy machines light up for a moment, so you see what is going on before you get there.

The idea: inside the ring, breaks, sparks and enemies get marked — outside, nothing.breaksparkenemyout of reach
Diagram · not from the gameThe idea: inside the ring, breaks, sparks and enemies get marked — outside, nothing.

  1. When to use it

    Before you commit to a route — to find the break that is starving your receiver, or to spot what is heading for your rail.

  2. Limit

    It does not reveal the whole map.

    From the 1.1 game data — may change.

  3. What it won’t do

    Scan shows; it doesn’t fix. Every mark still needs a courier to act on it.

No numbers yet

This ability is still being reworked, so we publish the idea only — no durations, ranges or cooldowns. Details may change.

03 / Where it fits

Built for the solo expedition

In the planned expedition, machines called Cutters walk up to powered rails and break them. Knowing where the next one is heading is worth more than raw speed.

Being reworked

The first draft of Scan barely helped: its reach was smaller than what the camera already shows. A rework was approved so that the marks reach further. How far, and how it will look, is still open.
