====== 4.2 Strengtheners ======

===== 4.2.1 Description: =====

Using Strengtheners in a battle zone improves the shield effectiveness for all bots in the zone belonging to your
Faction, including yours! Every 2000 Strengtheners increase the shields of every bot in your Faction by +5% (Max of
+100%). This formation requires the Galvic Stryke Scope Upgrade as well as a Galvanizer for each deployment, both
of which can be purchased in the Depot.
===== 4.2.2 Battlefield Tactics: =====

Double your shields and the shields of all your friends. No matter if you have 10 Absorbers or 10 million Deflectors,
40,000 Strengthener bots will double the shields of every bot on the battlefield for your entire faction. The only
exception to this rule is Absorbers. Due to the unique compounds in their massive shields, Absorbers are incapable
of consuming all the shield energy emitted by the Strengtheners. Absorbers can only receive up to a 50% boost in
shields, projected by the first 20,000 Strengthener bots in the zone. Only Boosters stand behind Strengtheners on
the battlefield. Strengtheners can double their own shields, and when at 100% bonus, are the strongest bots on the
field. However their cost would incentivize you to make sure there are always bots in front of them to take the
damage. With full Scope upgrades, this formation can experience 100% survivability at time of launch, avoiding the
need to first eliminate all enemy offensive bots in a zone before deploying these expensive bots without losses,
giving you an immediate boost of defense to any surviving bots already in the zone from previous deployments.
