Foundry

**Foundry** is a Tier 4 body upgrade upgrading from Forge, Thorn and Flare at Level 45.

## Technical/Design

It has the same fusion between ram and damage auras, but rather stronger than Forge. It's Spike top is slightly bigger, with the ramming power of a Thorn. It's health is higher, but is slower and deals less body damage. The Bonfire top is upgraded to a Flare.Has the same aura size, and damage as the Flare.

## Strategy

#### As a Foundry

As you are a fusion between the Thorn and the Flare, and you had half the power of the Saw and Inferno respectively, it's better to equip it with Amalgam, Riot, Wave, Marksman and Disperse, to survive if you're targeted. We must also look at the suggestions and strategies to play the Foundry effectively.

* **Don't** speed much of your stat points into speed, as that will make you more frail (unless you're level 90's). Instead, spend it on both your ram and health. Spend only 5-6 on the movement speed. Sure, you might be slower, but you can spend the remaining points into health and body damage, making you more anti-ram.

* If you're an Amalgam or Riot, you must be both *fast* and having good health, so that you can survive for a long time. Your aura will help in deterring enemies, unless they have the same level as you. You can also use your trap spam (and bullet-trap) spam to fight off spammer enemies. You can also use them to kill Celestials,but the aura won't help much considering the amount of health Celestials had.

* If you're a Wave, your speed is greatly increased, and the aura helps well in both farming shapes and fighting enemies. Use your increased speed to outrun enemy tanks/celestials in case things go bad for you.

* If you're a Marksman, the Foundry helps really well for you. Since you are been risked of been rammed, the aura of it helps partly in deterring rammers and Alpha-Saws. You might not be as fast as using a Saw, but it's more safe to use the Foundry to partly prevent dying to rammers.

* And if you're a Disperse, you can use both your bullet spam and aura to farm and kill enemies. Your speed and ram also helps in both been anti-ram and to fight Celestials. Be wary of Amalgams, Riots and especially Waves. The Wave has better firepower (if on back) and equal firepower on the front. Your bullet spam is too spreaded to fight Waves, unless they get close-in.

#### Against a Foundry

Not much weaknesses that the Foundry has, simply because of it's Thorn-level anti-ram, and it's Flare aura making it almost untouchable to rammers. However, there are weaknesses to it, and we will look at ways that you can counter a Foundry.

* Using Marksman and Saw/Bombard, you can effectively never be damaged by the Foundry's aura, and at the same time, damaging it. Since your FoV is large, if you use a Saw, you can also be very fast to it, or if using Bombard, to make extra pressure in defending you. Be careful if you're using Bombard, as the Foundry will move to you when you failed to kill it, and you're slower than it. Stop firing, move back from it, and wait for it to ignore you. Then try to kill it again. You can also attack it if the Foundry is fighting another Tank-Celestial from behind. If you do, the Foundry will have no almost no way to defend from a two-pronged attack (unless they're using Shrapnel).

* You can also use firepower to kill firepower. Using Amalgam, Riot or Quadro, and pair them with either Battalion, Bastion, Mothership or Inferno to overpower the Foundry. Inferno because it's aura is bigger, and stronger than Foundry's. Battalion/Bastion because the extra bullets will help in penetrating the Foundry's weapon upgrades. and Mothership because the drones when charged together, outpenetrates the Foundry for a short while, and you can also use it to attack in 2 directions.
