Equipment[edit | edit source]

 

Imperialist[edit | edit source]

Main article: Imperialist

His affinity weapon is the Imperialist, a long-range quantum cascade laser. While using it, Trace can cloak himself when immobile. This makes him an ideal sniper, as he is hard to spot from far away.

Main article: Triskelion
 
The Triskelion

Trace's alternate form is the Triskelion, a sophisticated piece of Kriken military biotechnology that allows Trace to biomorph into a three-legged war machine. In this form, Trace can dash at fast speeds, damaging foes whenever contact is made. When Trace stays immobile in this form, he'll cloak.
